the Yugoslav Wars were, fought throughout the former Yugoslavia between 1991
and 1995. The wars ended in various stages; mostly resulted in full
international recognition of new sovereign territories, but with massive
economic disruption to the successor states. Often described as Europe`s
deadliest conflicts since World War II, the conflicts have become infamous
for the war crimes involved, including mass ethnic cleansing. The

Margriet weet zich geen raad met praktijkonderzoek is een boek bedoeld voor studenten in de sociale wetenschappen en/of geneeskunde. Het gaat ervan uit dat problemen in genoemde vakgebieden veelal venijnig zijn en dus lastig op te lossen met de gebruikelijke methoden van onderzoek. Een oorzaak daarvan is dat we zelf deel uitmaken van het probleem en ‘het’ dus niet zien. Een tweede oorzaak van het venijn is dat problemen zich in een autoreferentieel adaptief systeem bevinden. De in dit boek voorgestelde methode kenmerkt zich door een wijsgerige basis, toepassing van noties van kunstbeschouwing en design thinking en een diep begrip van de situatie. De oplossingen liggen dan voor het grijpen. ‘To understand is hard. Once one understands, actio..
Forensisch psychologische studie naar neonaticide in Nederland, gericht
op de achtergronden, psychologische kenmerken en belevingswereld van moeders
die werden verdacht van doding van hun pasgeborene.
Neonaticide betreft het om het leven brengen van
een pasgeboren kind binnen 24 uur na de geboorte, een misdrijf dat meestal door
de biologische moeder wordt gepleegd. In Nederland komt neonaticide een paar
keer per jaar aan het licht. Dit proefschrift beschrijft zowel een
literatuuronderzoek als een empirisch onderzoek naar de aard en omvang van
neonaticide in Nederland en in het bijzonder naar de achtergronden,
persoonskenmerken en belevingswereld van moeders die verdacht worden
neonaticide. Ook wordt aandacht besteed aan het verl..
“I think we should be more outspoken when we see the detrimental effects of our activities to the natural environment and the animals within. In this book, without claiming to cover the full complexity, I explore the relationships between human and non-human animals. This ranges from our bound with close companions like cats and dogs, to public attitudes towards exotic animals living far way or in zoos. I also argue that animal welfare should be central in the sustainability debate: what I term ‘sustanimalism’ (in Dutch, the combination of ‘dieren’ (animals), and ‘duurzaamheid’ (sustainability) leads to the neologism ‘dierzaamheid’). More respect for animals and nature is key to a sustainable society.” – Pim Martens..
Nowadays, organization leaders face challenges that demand more than just development of leadership competences. Scholars and practitioners have argued that, at a more fundamental level, a shift in leaders’ mindsets is required. Various scholars suggest that “critical life events”, that is, trigger events that shape people’s lives, are probably an important antecedent of authentic leadership. Furthermore, research suggests that experiencing nature may lead to positive psychological effects. In this PhD project I examined the impact of a wilderness-based training program on leadership transformation. This thesis is based on three empirical studies that analyze leaders’ experiences and ensuing intentions to change, measure the actual impact o..
The
Special Court for Sierra Leone is an independent judicial body set up to
"try those who bear greatest responsibility" for serious
violations, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the
Sierra Leone Civil War which began in 1991 and was declared officially over
on 18 January 2002. The Special Court was born at the request of the
President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah, who on 12 June 2000 wrote a letter to United
Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan asking the international community to
try those responsible for crimes during the conflict. The answer was prompt
and on 14 August 2000 the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution

The Palestine problem became an international issue towards the end of the First World War with the disintegration of the Turkish Ottoman Empire. Palestine was among the several former Ottoman Arab territories which were placed under the administration of Great Britain under the Mandates System adopted by the League of Nations pursuant to the League`s Covenant (Article 22) . All but one of these Mandated Territories became fully independent States, as anticipated. The exception was Palestine where, instead of being limited to "the rendering of administrative assistance and advice" the Mandate had as a primary objective the implementation of the "Balfour Declaration" issued by the British Government in 1917, expressing support for "the estab..

Het Werkboek Buitenpromoveren is geschreven door de auteurs van het Handboek Buitenpromoveren. Waar het Handboek ruim 420 pagina’s inhoudelijke informatie biedt over alle aspecten van het promotieproces, daagt het Werkboek de promovendus onderweg en in spe vooral uit om die inhoud naar het eigen onderzoek te vertalen en zich zo te oefenen in onderzoek op academisch niveau. ..
In my dissertation, I explore the comparison between Holocaust and slavery education to understand how we, in the Netherlands, give meaning to the recollection of sensitive history. This examination focuses on the utilization of images and narratives within our shared cultural memory. What sentiments do they convey? What assertions do they make, and what aspects do we tend to disregard? Is there a possibility of identifying parallels in the narrative techniques and visual representations when contrasting the histories of slavery and the Holocaust? Both narratives are laden with distress, encompassing not only the plight of victims but also considerations of culpability. In the Dutch context, the portrayal of culpability appears intricate, m..
