Examination is made of the far-reaching changes which a substantial scale-increase provokes in a municipality's structure & policy profile. The effects of scale increase are studied with regard to the integration of the former community & its employees into the new entity, organization of internal administration & the degree of centralization. Though in several cases geographic conditions which are necessary to achieve a successful scale increase are fulfilled, economic stimuli are insufficient. In some cases the purpose of a particular scale increase should be defined more clearly. Theoretically, scale increase is not only a means of economizing nor is it an intraadministrative matter; it is a means to create opportunities for further development, wealth, & well-being. To achieve this however, cooperation between municipal & national administrations should be intensified. Modified HA.

Minotaurus! 't Is 'n veelslachtig wezen met 'n muil als een statenbybel, en 'n reusachtige breikous tot achterlyf dat uitloopt in 'n borduurnaald.'

Much more mobile than their colleagues from other European countries, many Netherlandish artists spread all over Europe; a remarkable number among them achieved great fame as court artists, as the careers of Claus Sluter in Burgundy, Anthonis Mor in Spain, Bartholomeus Spranger or Adriaen de Vries in Prague, Giambologna and Jacob Bijlevelt in Florence demonstrate. Moreover, they exerted considerable influence on the artistic production of their time. Nevertheless most of them sank into oblivion soon after they died. Dutch art history neglected them for a long time as they did not fit into the traditional canon of the Low Countries, nor were they adopted by the art histories of their new homelands.
