In mijn dissertatie Reizen onder regie (Staring 2001) beschrijf ik een categorie vreemdelingen waar veel over wordt gedebatteerd en geschreven, maar die meestal buiten wetenschappelijke beschouwingen en trendstudies over migranten valt. Dat is het geval omdat het deze vreemdelingen aan geldige verblijfsdocumenten ontbreekt, ze normaliter niet bij lokale overheden geregistreerd staan en daarmee op papier niet bestaan. In Reizen onder regie tracht ik antwoorden te formuleren op onderzoeksvragen naar de overkomst en incorporatie van illegaal in Nederland woonachtige Turkse migranten of toeristen (turistler, enkelvoud turist), zoals ze door hun landgenoten worden genoemd.

Recent is er in onderzoek steeds meer aandacht voor de participatie van cliënten. In participatieve studies kunnen cliënten geconsulteerd worden over onderzoek, of optreden als adviseurs ten aanzien van onderzoek. Voorbeelden zijn studies waarin cliënten geconsulteerd worden over onderwerpen die zij belangrijk vinden voor onderzoek (Caron-Flinterman, 2005; Welfare, 2006) of bijvoorbeeld over het design van clinical trials (Marsden et al., 2004; Bradburn et al., 1995). In dit opzicht gaat het bij participatief onderzoek dus om het inventariseren van ervaringen en mogelijke vragen of onzekerheden van cliënten als startpunt voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Cliënten worden binnen participatief onderzoek gezien als een bron van kennis, en hun perspectief is dan (mede) sturend voor het onderzoek.

An alternative approach to studying the relationship between the working class & authoritarianism is presented to overcome the difficulties found in the debate between C. P. Middendorp's & J. D. Meloen's "Over het autoritarisme van de arbeidersklasse" ([Working-Class Authoritarianism] Acta Politica, 1989, 24, 83-96) & P. Dekker's & P. Ester's "Klassepositie als determinant van autoritarisme; een reactie op Meloen en Middendorp" ([Class Position as a Determinant of Authoritarianism; A Response to Meloen and Middendorp] Acta Politica, 1989, 24, 97-104). Analysis of statistical data compiled in A. Felling, et al (Religion in Dutch Society 1985. Documentation of a National Survey on Religious and Secular Attitudes in 1985, Amsterdam: Steinmetz Archive, 1987), shows that it is not the working class, but rather small independent businessmen & farmers, who are the most authoritarian segments of the Dutch population. 4 Tables, 21 References.

Klep, Christ, Somalië, Rwanda, Srebrenica. De nasleep van drie ontspoorde vredesmissies (Dissertatie Utrecht 2008; Amsterdam: Boom, 2008, 385 blz., ISBN 978 90 8506 668 2).ResponseThe validity of my comparative approach (Somalia-Rwanda-Srebrenica) still stands, in my opinion. At the level of political responsibility and the process of coming to terms with events, the similarities are stronger than the differences. My estimation that the Inquiry reports were 'hijacked' by almost all of the stakeholders involved (especially the Canadian, Belgian and Dutch governments) is more of a matter of fact and a political reality than a reproach that ought to have legal implications. Finally, the question of how far the three governments that were involved learned lessons from the three affairs is difficult to answer. Was it not also the wider developments (for example, the switch from the 'blue' missions to the more robust 'green' missions) that compelled the lessons to be drawn out?

Since the Middle Ages artists from the Low Countries were known to be fond of travelling, as Guicciardini in his "Descrittione di tutti i Paesi Bassi" (Antwerp, 1567) and Karel van Mander in his 1604 "Schilderboeck", already noticed. 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. This new NKJ volume is an attempt to change this

Summary: Since it was established by Riek Bakker and Ank Bleeker in 1977, the Bakker & Bleeker bureau (operating as Bureau B+B since 1990) has functioned as a laboratory for the professional community. Designers such as Winy Maas, Adriaan Geuze and Michael van Gessel have worked there and the office was an incubator for design practices such as West 8, Karres en Brands and Rietveld Landscape. The development of Bureau B+B coincides to a large extent with the emancipation of Dutch post-war landscape architecture and urbanism. Self-assured and autonomous, the bureau reintroduced design to the city, from an unexpected angle. It soon ranked among the world|s best, thanks among other things to its design for the Parc de la Villette in Paris (1982), a commission won ex aequo with designers such as Rem Koolhaas and Bernard Tschumi. The bureau has always been interdisciplinary, employing landscape architects, urban planners, architects, land development experts and industrial designers

This remarkablpe title describes the life of one of Holland's most remarkable figures: medical practitioner Van Dieren (1861-1940), Amsterdammer and prolific writer who caused quite a stir in his days. The author recounts the life and times of Van Dieren in the form of a series of narratives about the fights of this Dutch Don Quixote with his particular windmills. Individual chapters deal with his life, work, personal style, friendships and enmities, his discussions with psychoanalysts, socialists, scientists and above all of his tragic-comical failures. Unique source material is used to reconstruct this picture, such as the correspondence between Van Dieren and a large number of well-known Dutchmen, including novelist Van Eeden, Nobel laureate C.Eijkman, the philosopher Bolland, politician De Savornin Lohman, Queen Emma, and many others. Marginality and non-conformity are the key themes that run through the life of this observer which made him one of the most successful failures in Dutch history

Pleading for an `International Institute on Wars', whose task would be to study the cause of conflicts & to attempt to prevent such conflicts, this article was written in French in a Belgian periodical: The Army--The Nation. The authors begin with the fact that war has been studied very little, which is a result of mans' familiartity with such a phenomenon. There is the impression that war depends solely on the arbitrary will of men, & finally, there is the illusion that we are in no danger of it. Neither the philosophers nor the sociol's who have actually studied war have been able to explain its power. The jurists, in fighting against war & in seeking to create an international order, actually encourage war by making war one of the perogatives of all sovereign states. Has Bertrand de Jouvenel discovered the solution which holds that war is connected to power? The establishment of an institute is as wise, as it is urgent to support the role of defensive military alliances such as NATO which, to guard against war, bestirs us to arm ourselves. Tr by J. A. Broussard from IPSA.

Apart from Belgian's OSCE Presidency (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe), two other important topics in 2006 Belgian foreign affairs were economic diplomacy and the European policy. Concerning economic diplomacy the text addresses the problems surrounding two German branches on Belgian territory: the Volkswagen assembly line and DHL. Furthermore, increased importance of economic diplomacy is a well decided approach of the current Minister for Foreign Affairs De Gucht, emphasizing that in bilateral discussions the economic aspect has to be taken into account at all times. Regarding the European policy of ongoing development of European security and defense policy (EVDB) and civic-military cooperation are addressed. Transatlantic relations have improved since 2003 (Iraq war), changing into a "agree where we can, agree to disagree where we can't" attitude, Belgium diplomatic language has lost its rougher edges, and "the glorious three", three years of Belgium presidency (OSCE 2006, UN Security Council 2007-2008) in which the country gained in expressiveness, but lost character opposite large power such as Russia, the US and China. Regarding the UN Security Council a main objective was abolishing the veto right for permanent member states. Tables, Figures, References. O. van Zijl
