Abstract

The concept of 'good governance' is of increasing importance, and is used by international organizations to ensure reasonable conformity to high standards in states which participate in the global trading regime and other international activities. This book examines the concept of good governance and how it is applied in the states of the Gulf Co-operation Council. These states are particularly important because of their strategic location and massive oil wealth. Moreover, as monarchies, in most cases without powerful democratic representative bodies, and as Islamic countries, with a differ

Abstract

22 maart 2016. De terreur slaat toe in Brussel. Zoals ze de voorbije maanden ook toesloeg in Bagdad, Ankara, Beiroet, Damascus, Tunis, Sharm el-Sheikh en Parijs. Terrorisme kent geen grenzen meer: daar is stilaan iedereen het over eens.Maar wie dag in dag uit de waan van de dag volgt, hoort en ziet veel maar mist de ruime context. In dit boek toont Ludo De Brabander hoe de politiek van westerse en regionale machten in de Arabische wereld overal als een boemerang in het gezicht van gewone mensen terugvliegt. Hij schetst een verhaal over de koloniale opdeling van het Midden-Oosten en Noord-Afrika, internationale energiehonger, steun aan autoritaire regimes, wapenleveringen en militaire interventies. Die cocktail zorgt voor chaos en geweld in Afghanistan, Irak, Libië en Jemen en dus voor miljoenen vluchtelingen naar de buurlanden en Europa. Maar ook voor een voedingsbodem waarin internationale netwerken van de extremistische jihad goed gedijen. Zo oogsten we onze eigen onveiligheid.

Abstract

Regardless of its outcome, the Iraq War has had a transformative effect on the Middle East. To equip U.S. policymakers to better manage the war's long-term consequences, the authors analyzed its effects on the regional balance of power, local perceptions of U.S. credibility, the domestic stability of neighboring states, and trends in terrorism after conducting extensive interviews in the region and drawing from an array of local media sources.

Abstract

The international relations of the Middle East have long been dominated by uncertainty and conflict. External intervention, interstate war, political upheaval and interethnic violence are compounded by the vagaries of oil prices and the claims of military, nationalist and religious movements. The purpose of this book is to set this region and its conflicts in context, providing on the one hand a historical introduction to its character and problems, and on the other a reasoned analysis of its politics. In an engagement with both the study of the Middle East and the theoretical analysis of international relations, the author, who is one of the best known and most authoritative scholars writing on the region today, offers a compelling and original interpretation. Written in a clear, accessible and interactive style, the book is designed for students, policymakers, and the general reader.

Abstract

This ethnography describes in detail the healing rituals such as the use of charms, prayer and exorcism and as they are practiced in a Moroccan shrine and proposes an explanation for their efficacy. The book also gives an overview of traditional medicine in Morocco and includes cases of Moroccan healers practicing in Belgium and the Netherlands. The text is illustrated with more than 60 photographs. In Marokko gaan mensen ervan uit dat veel ziekten door demonen worden veroorzaakt. Genezing zoeken zij bij traditionele genezers die islamitische elementen in hun behandeling betrekken. Ook in Nederland en België leven dergelijke opvattingen onder Marokkaanse migranten. Dit boek is een levendige beschrijving van de genezingsrituelen zoals die plaatsvinden in een Marokkaans heiligdom. Bijzondere aandacht gaat uit naar de gesprekken die genezers voeren met de demonen die mensen in bezit hebben genomen.

Abstract

Over the centuries, the Middle East has held an important place in the religious consciousness of many Christians in West and East. In the nineteenth century, these interests culminated in extensive missionary work of Protestant and Roman Catholic organisations, among Eastern Christians, Muslims and Jews. The present volume, in articles written by an international group of scholars, discusses themes like the historical background of Christian geopiety among Roman Catholics and Protestants, and the internal tensions and conflicting aims of missions and missionaries, such as between nationalist and internationalist interests, between various rival organisations and between conversionalist and civilizational aims of missions in the Ottoman Empire. In a synthetic overview and a comprehensive bibliography an up-to-date introduction into this field is provided.
