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

Migration; Demography - De raad maakt een onderscheid tussen beleidsvoering en beleidsvoorbereiding. Hergroepering van de beleidsvoering wordt niet bepleit. Wel wordt geconstateerd dat er van een systematische beleidsvoorbereiding geen sprake is.

Dit boek gaat over hoe Nederlandse politici en ambtenaren in de afgelopen vijftig jaar de regels hebben vastgesteld voor gezinsmigratie. Het reconstrueert de termen waarin het beleidsdebat gevoerd werd en het verloop van de besluitvorming. Waar de discussie in de jaren vijftig en zestig draaide om de overkomst van gezinnen van gastarbeiders, ging het in de jaren zeventig en tachtig over gelijke behandeling van mannen en vrouwen, homoseksuele en heteroseksuele relaties, en migranten en Nederlanders, en vanaf de jaren negentig over beperking van de instroom, eigen verantwoordelijkheid en de plaa

Urbanity and migration are considered to be two basic components in definitions of modernity. They force us to reflect on how the boundaries between the local and the global are determined and surpassed. Often this results in politically charged discussions about transnationality and national identity, monolingualism and multilingualism, inclusion and exclusion. The contributions to this issue of CLW demonstrate that literature can play a significant role in this debate. The authors highlight the representation of city and migration in a wide variety of novels published in Dutch, English, German, Spanish and French with a particular interest in political commitment.

The term 'vulnerability' is often used in law and policy to refer to disadvantaged, marginalized or excluded human beings. This book explores how a vulnerability focus in basic assistance policies can contribute to substantive equality and therefore to the realization of universal human rights in the migration context. It concentrates on the potential that such a vulnerability focus can have to mitigate stigmatization and stereotyping and to facilitate socio-economic participation
