Analyses how social processes impact on knowledge production and dissemination. This book investigates how differences between actors impact on knowledge dissemination and appropriation. It explores how knowledge frameworks affect knowledge analysis and acceptance and how people bridge the gap between 'outside' and 'local' forms of knowledge.

FROM A TIME WHEN ELECTORAL SHIFTS IN THE NETHERLANDS WERE MINOR TREMORS HARDLY DETECTABLE TO OTHER THAN THE POLITICAL SEISMOLOGISTS, ELECTIONS NOW PRODUCE CHANGES OF GREATER FORCE ON THE POLITICAL RICHTER SCALE, EASILY NOTICEABLE BY EVEN THE MOST CASUAL OBSERVER. THE DECLINE IN RELIGIOUS VOTING SINCE THE MID 1960S AND THE BREAKDOWN IN SOCIALIZATION WHEREBY YOUNGER VOTERS NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY FOLLOW THE PATTERNS OF THEIR PARENTS HAVE GREATLY INCREASED THE 'FLOATING VOTE.' AS MANY AS ONE-THIRD OF THE VOTERS NOW SWITCH THEIR PREFERENCE BETWEEN ELECTIONS, AND ALMOST ONE-FIFTH OF THE VOTERS NOW SAY THAT THEY DETERMINE THIS PREFERENCE DURING THE LAST WEEKS OR DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION. THIS INCREASE IN FLOATING HAS BROUGHT ABOUT A LESS STABLE BALANCE AMONG THE POLITICAL PARTIES. BECAUSE THERE ARE NOW MORE VOTES TO BE WON DURING THE CAMPAIGN AND BECAUSE THE FORMATION OF THE CABINET IS MORE DEPENDENT UPON THE ELECTORAL RESULTS, THE IMPORTANCE OF CAMPAIGNS AND ELECTIONS HAS INCREASED GREATLY. IT IS AGAINST SUCH A BACKGROUND THAT THE ELECTION OF 1982 MUST BE VIEWED AND INTERPRETED.

This book contains a range of original studies on one of the major challenges in Africa today: the controversial role of youth in politics, conflict and rebellious movements. The issue is not only the drafting of child soldiers into insurgent armies or predatory militias, as in Somalia, Sierra Leone or Congo, but, more generally, that of the problematic insertion of large numbers of young people in the socio-economic and political order of post-colonial Africa. Even educated youths are being confronted with a lack of opportunities, blocked social mobility, and despair about the future. African

Naṣīr al-Dīn Ṭūsī's (d. 672/1274) Nasirean Ethics is the single most important work on philosophical ethics in the history of Islam. Translated from the original Persian into Arabic in 713/1313, the present text was primarily intended for the Arabic-speaking majority of the people in Iraq. A fine example of medieval Persian-to-Arabic translation technique, this first edition carefully reproduces Middle Arabic elements that can be found throughout the text.

Geïnspireerd op buitenlandse ervaringen is in de gemeentes Winschoten en Eindhoven gedurende twee jaar geëxperimenteerd met een de-radicaliseringsaanpak voor rechts-radicale jongeren.

This unique volume looks at international peace treaties, at their results, effects and failures. It reflects the outcome of an international conference held in the Peace Palace (The Hague) on the occasion of the Centenary of this institution, which opened its doors on the eve of World War I. 00The volume offers the reflections of the leading experts attending the conference and the open debate which followed. The Treaty of Versailles of 1919, the mother of all peace treaties, is the first to be critically discussed. How should this treaty be viewed with the knowledge of today? What are the lessons learned in the light of historic developments? Subsequently, the Dayton Agreement, which sealed the end to the bloody conflict in the former Yugoslavia (1992-1995), and the Sudan Agreement, which came into being after lengthy negotiations in 2005, are analysed in the same way. Finally, the situations which arose in relation to the devastating wars between Iran and Iraq (1980-1988) and between Kuwait and Iraq are discussed. As these states could not reach a settlement themselves, the United Nations Security Council imposed the terms of the ceasefire and peaceful cooperation in important and innovative resolutions. 00.
