    The Return of Ethics and Spirituality in Global Development (Paperback)
    The Return of Ethics and Spirituality in Global Development (Paperback)
    The theory of modernization basically reduces the meaning of development to economic growth often measured by Growth Domestic Product of the country or overall purchase power parity of the nation. This approach ignores the variety of perspectives on development, hence excludes the role of culture, identity, and spirituality as social determinants of good development. More importantly, modernization theory which informs the mainstream view on development ignores the structural causes of underdevelopment, including colonial heritage or the current unbridled capitalism in many societies. Against reductionist views of development, fundamental questions are raised about the theory and programming of development. From what perspective is the conception of development perceived? Who should decide and depict development goals? What kind of development could result in desirable changes? Is it morally desirable to dictate an exclusively Western understanding of development to others? Is there

    Trade, diplomacy and cultural exchange (Paperback)
    Trade, diplomacy and cultural exchange (Paperback)
    Commercial relations between the North Sea area and the Baltic contributed in a fundamental way to Holland's economic dominance in the seventeenth century. They were embedded in a region where numerous expressions of a common culture facilitated the mobility of people and commodities or the spreading of tastes and ideas. The German Hansa played a very important role in this process, but also after its decline, economic contacts between the North Sea region and the Baltic continued and with them a prolonged process of cultural interaction. This volume describes the interconnections of the various aspects of the common economic culture in the region between ca. 1350 and 1750.

    Swiss Mercenaries in the Dutch East Indies (Paperback)
    Swiss Mercenaries in the Dutch East Indies (Paperback)
    Between 1848 and 1914, around 5,800 Swiss Mercenaries enlisted in the Dutch Colonial Army (KNIL) to fight in the Dutch East Indies, now modern-day Indonesia. This book traces the paths of these mercenaries beyond the boundaries of the Dutch Empire, shedding light on the intricacies of nineteenth-century military labour markets. It delves deep into their social backgrounds, motivations, intimate relationships, and their role in the violent expansion of the colonial empire. In doing so, it unveils the profound impacts of Dutch colonialism, not only on the colonies themselves but also on the social, economic, and cultural landscape of the European hinterland.

    Changing Values on Water in Delta Cities (Paperback)
    Changing Values on Water in Delta Cities (Paperback)
    The thesis develops an empirically tested analytical framework which links value theory with planning and design practices to investigate context-specific spatial transformations as a result of individual and collective value judgements. Four key aspects of water values including flood safety, as well as economic, social and environmental values, are studied, and their interrelationships are discussed. Morphological analyses and value assessments are conducted to explore in what sense spatial changes can be considered an expression of the changing values and what we can learn from it to deal with complex spatial situations. The empirical studies are based on the long-term spatial development of Guangzhou as representative of a historical and rapidly growing delta city in China. Three development stages are illustrated to show different patterns of water-city interactions, the waterways city (before the 1920s) that was mainly structured by natural forces including natural waterways, the

    Heritage and Rights of Indigenous Peoples (Paperback)
    Heritage and Rights of Indigenous Peoples (Paperback)
    The heritage of Indigenous Peoples has long been researched and commented upon from the outside. This book adopts an innovative approach by engaging with the heritage of Indigenous Peoples from the 'inside'. On 13th September 2007, member states of the United Nations adopted the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), a momentous occasion marking wide political recognition of Indigenous Peoples' rights. Ten years on, this book explores the areas -both substantive and geographic- dealing with the heritage and rights of Indigenous Peoples globally. Written jointly by indigenous and non-indigenous scholars, the chapters offer an insight into the issues faced by Indigenous Peoples under the umbrella themes of land, spirituality and self-determination. The case studies - which span four continents - not only highlight the various resilient and imaginative ways in which Indigenous Peoples are managing to sustain, develop and transform their heritage, but also offer an

    Dynamics in economic geography (Paperback)
    Dynamics in economic geography (Paperback)
    Understanding spatial socio-economic inequalities Global transformations such as globalization and climate change influence the economic fate of people and places very differently. Also, places differ in terms of the opportunities they offer to firms and the people living there. As a result, there are important socio-economic inequalities across space. Economic Geography gives you the tools to understand such inequalities. The aim of this book is to provide students and other interested readers with an up-to-date introduction to economic geography, applied to the Netherlands and beyond. It provides an overview of what economic geography studies and summarizes and explains its main approaches. As such, the book is broad in scope and it serves as a starting point for more in-depth exploration. Ton van Rietbergen studied Social Geography of Developing Countries. After a short period at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he has worked as a lecturer-researcher at the Faculty of Geographical

    Early Dutch entrepreneurship and its contribution to modern economy (Paperback)
    Early Dutch entrepreneurship and its contribution to modern economy (Paperback)
    Based on the 'theory formation of entrepreneurship', as has been developed over the past few decades by political economists, sociologists and social-economic historians on the notion 'entrepreneurship', this study will focus on how entrepreneurship in the Netherlands, specifi cally during 'Trade Capitalism' (1350-1815), took shape and what its contribution has been to the period of 'Total Capitalism' (as from the late1980s). Three sub-periods during "Trade Capitalism' will be studied. The first sub-period runs from 1350 to 1580 and is considered to be the upbeat to the 'first modern economy' in the world. In the second sub-period, running from 1580 to approximately 1670 (the so-called Dutch "Golden Age"), this fi rst modern economy reached its absolute zenith. During the then following third sub-period, from 1670 to 1815, we see forms of economic stagnation and a gradual decline in trade in the Netherlands. Perpendicular to each of these three periods, four dimensions related to the

    Productomschrijving

    In an era of economic globalisation, the declining regulatory role of governments competing for investment and the rising power of multinational enterprises are leading to a race to the bottom in the area of fundamental social rights. This issue needs to be redressed. It is essential to promote fundamental social rights, at both national and international level, in order to give economic globalisation a more human face. At present, the advancement of social rights is mainly in the hands of the International Labour Organisation, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and the United Nations, which provide minimum labour standards that focus on governments and enterprises. Due to a lack of political will to develop legally binding agreements that directly address multinational enterprises, the implementation and recognition of fundamental social principles and standards throughout global supply chains are based mainly on soft law. In practice, social rights are largely
