Het Arabisch-Israëlische conflict is ontstaan als onbedoeld gevolg van Brits koloniaal beleid. Externe partijen van uiteenlopende pluimage hebben zich ingespannen in dit conflict te bemiddelen, dikwijls echter met vrede als nevendoel, niet als hoofddoel. Zo stond voor Amerikanen en Britten in de jaren vijftig containment van de Sovjet-Unie centraal. Het Arabisch-Israëlische conflict stond daarbij in de weg en moest daarom opgelost worden. Zo wilde Europa tussen 1970 en 1980 vooral een onderhandelingsrol om te oefenen in gemeenschappelijk buitenlands beleid en zette het zich af tegen Amerikaans

Introduction The relation between the bailiff and the debtor is conflictive due to the conflict of interest of both actors. The main interest for the debtors is focused on his or her daily life, while the bailiffs' interests lie within the judicial system. Also the current laws and disciplinary regulations are not always a guarantee for lawful and proper behavior of the bailiff during the face-to-face interactions with debtors. This could generate conflicts, like vigilantism. Moreover, several current societal developments lead to an increase of the friction between bailiffs and debtors, in particular: the intensification of the debt problems and new and profound powers of creditors, the increased individualization of citizens and their more outspoken behavior, and the dominance of the free market process for bailiffs. This thesis focuses on the conflictual interactions between bailiffs and debtors. The main research questions are: "What is the reason escalating conflicts occur between bailiffs and debtors and why does the incidence increase?" Methods A practical empirical approach is used. A total of 43 cases of face-to-face interactions between bailiffs and debtors are described. The backgrounds of the conflictive interactions are analyzed using qualitative and quantitative research methods. These methods include a participant observation study of bailiffs and debtors, interviewing bailiffs and debtors, and conducting surveys among bailiffs. The main point of view is bottom-up, in which a special focus is addressed to the perceptions and behaviors of the bailiff and debtor. Finally, the perspective of third parties is described, such as debt counselors. Results There are four distinct types of face-to-face interactions between the bailiff and debtor observed: 1) volatile interactions, 2) confronting interactions, 3) strategic interactions, and 4) strong/firm interactions. Each of the four interaction types has its own conflictive character and describes the behavior at the door. The two actors act and react ...

Dit boek behandelt het thans geldende materieel EU-staatssteunrecht. Dit werk biedt een overzicht van dit complexe rechtsdomein, dat in zeer grote mate vorm werd (en wordt) gegeven door de rechtspraak van het Hof van Justitie en het Gerecht en door de praktijk van de Europese Commissie. Het bespreekt de voorwaarden voor de toepasselijkheid van het EU staatssteunrecht alsook onder welke voorwaarden het volgens datzelfde regime de lidstaten is toegestaan staatssteun te verlenen. Naast een analyse van deze regelgeving wordt aan de hand van voorbeelden uit de rechtspraak en praktijk ter zake de theorie tastbaar gemaakt. Zowel de jurist die reeds vertrouwd is met het EU -staatssteunrecht als de neofiet in dit rechtsdomein zal in dit werk een waardevol instrument vinden in een wereld die wellicht nooit staatssteunvrij kan of zal zijn.

This new study of the genesis of the Indonesian national state is based on the notion that the birth of that nation grew out of not only the liberation movement but also from the Dutch rule that the nationalists agitated against. The book places a clear emphasis on the ways in which Dutch rule was established in the Indonesian archipelago in the course of three centuries and examines the developments of Dutch colonial policies. This feeds into chapters that focus on the Indonesian nationalist movement and the Japanese occupation of the colony in 1942-1945.The occupation helped to enable the proclamation of Indonesian indepence and the creation of the Republic in August 1945. The conflict that erupted between the Repub-lic and the Netherlands was brought to an incomplete 'solution' in 1949, but the dis-pute about West-Irian led to a sequel that lasted for another thirteen years. More than half of this book is dedicated to the conflict and its aftermath. Much attention is paid to the sentiments and ideas that informed Dutch policy. Various issues that have received scant attention in the historiography are now dis-cussed. The author based his study on Dutch and international literature, contemporary newspapers and policy documents, and his own memories. In the book's title, the stork represents the Dutch and the garuda functions as a symbol of Indonesia. J. Herman Burgers (1926) worked at the Dutch Department of Foreign Affairs. He studied Law in Amsterdam and Political Science at Stanford University. He was deeply interested in the conflict between the Netherlands and the Republic of Indone-sia, as it broke out in 1945. This fascination has never left him, and he has continued to study the conflict and its aftermath, especially during the years 1948-1950 when he was in Indonesia for his Dutch military service

Kritiek. Jaarboek voor socialistische discussie en analyse is een academische uitgave en biedt ruimte aan artikelen van beschouwende, theoretische, historische en polemische aard over zaken die van belang zijn voor de huidige linkse beweging.In dit nummer is er aandacht voor de positie en strijd van illegale migranten en stedelijke sociale conflicten.

'De onbeholpen samenleving' is het resultaat van een gedegen onderzoek door een hoogleraar en een onderzoeker naar de ontevredenheid van Nederlanders over de samenleving en het functioneren van die samenleving. Zij kijken naar de gevolgen van delegitimering, globalisering en individualisering, maar vooral naar het participeren van de burger. De knowhow die een burger zou moeten bezitten om volop mee te kunnen doen, te kunnen inspreken in onze maatschappij, maar ook het vermogen om te kunnen leven met conflicten. Daarmee zoekt het boek de oorzaken duidelijk in kleinere sociale verbanden, niet i

This paper - written for a conference held in Leuven (KUL) in 2001- offers a global analysis of the European Insolvency Regulation. At the time the paper was written, the Regulation was a very recent instrument. The paper reviews the Regulation based on previous experiences at harmonising the law of cross-border insolvencies (such as the European Insolvency Convention and the Istanbul Convention). Particular attention is paid to the issues of jurisdiction (which court has jurisdiction to open insolvency proceedings), jurisdiction conflicts (what happens if two courts decide to exercise jurisdiction simultaneously) and recognition and enforcement of foreign insolvency judgments.
