De honderdjarige oorlog tegen Palestina is geen verhaal van slachtofferschap, noch probeert het de fouten van Palestijnse leiders of de opkomst van nationalistische bewegingen aan beide kanten te ontkennen. Maar door de geschiedenis op een heldere manier in kaart te brengen vanuit Palestijns perspectief, geeft dit boek een nieuwe kijk op een conflict dat tot op heden voortduurt.

The Trojan Horse traces the growth of commercial sponsorship in the public sphere since the 1960s, its growing importance for the arts since 1980 and its spread into areas such as education and health. The authors' central argument is that the image of sponsorship as corporate benevolence has served to routinize and legitimate the presence of commerce within the public sector. The central metaphor is of such sponsorship as a Trojan Horse helping to facilitate the hollowing out of the public sector by private agencies and private finance. The authors place the study in the context of the more g

This work concerns intelligence analysis of adversaries by six countries, the role of intelligence analysis during the Cold War, and its role in other important regional conflicts after 1945. It seeks to use Cold War and contemporary examples to determine how well intelligence has been analyzed and handled by different intelligence services and policymakers. The book reaches conclusions about past cases in intelligence analysis and how best to analyze intelligence and present it to policymakers today. The book also examines how well policymakers have received and understood intelligence. In sum, the volume analyzes how effective intelligence has been in the policymaking process. It will be a leading text on the analyst/policymaker relationship. The historical cases examined are the Soviet Union's analysis of the United States (and vice versa), East Germany's analysis of West Germany (and vice versa), British intelligence on the early years of the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland, Israeli intelligence on the Palestinians, Pakistani intelligence on India, and US intelligence about Islamist terrorists.

Twenty-five years have passed since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of communism in Eastern Europe, and ten years have passed since the first formerly communist states entered the E.U. An entire post-Wall generation has now entered adulthood, yet scholarship on European cinema still tends to divide the continent along the old Cold War lines. In East West and Centre the world's leading scholars in the field assemble to consider the ways in which notions such as East and West, national and transnational, central and marginal are being rethought and reframed in contemporary European cinema. Assessing the state of post-1989 European cinema, from (co)production and reception trends to filmic depictions of migration patterns, economic transformations and socio-political debates over the past and the present, they address increasingly intertwined cinema industries that are both central (France and Germany) and marginal in Europe (Romania, Bulgaria, Lithuania). This is a ground-breaking and essential read, not just for students and scholars in film and media studies, but also for those interested in wider European studies as well.Key Features: The most comprehensive investigation of Central European cinema in the early 21st century *Contributions address recent films from or about Bulgaria, France, Germany, Lithuania, and Romania *Introduces readers to new films and directors from different national and transnational cinemas

This book brings together major authorities on and practitioners within Australian publishing, and it examines the broad-based pressures facing the industry in Australia, arising most particularly from developments in digital technology, the 'shrinking' world, and the apparent arrival of a global marketplace. From a range of perspectives, the practical, social, and philosophical issues are considered that have risen to the surface in response to these pressures.

This phenomenon ranges from arming proxies, to the use of armed drones, to cyber propaganda. Krieg and Rickli bring old, related practices such as war by mercenary or proxy under this new overarching concept. Apart from analyzing the underlying sociopolitical drivers that trigger patrons to substitute or supplement military action, this book looks at the intrinsic trade-offs between substitution and control that shapes the relationship between patron and surrogate. This book will be essential reading for anyone studying contemporary conflict.

De spermabank spreekt tot de verbeelding. Zeker de pioniersjaren ervan, waarin er geen regels waren en artsen deden wat ze wilden. Toch weet bijna niemand hoe het er vroeger aan toeging, want donorinseminatie gebeurde in het grootste geheim. Historica Tinne Claes vertelt voor het eerst het verhaal van de Belgische spermabank, van de geboorte van de eerste donorkinderen in de late 19de eeuw tot vandaag. Het was een periode van grote maatschappelijke veranderingen, zoals de tanende autoriteit van artsen en de commercialisering van de geneeskunde, maar ook de teloorgang van taboes, de emancipatie van de vrouw en de opkomst van het identiteitsdebat. De eerste fertiliteitsartsen behandelden alleen heteroseksuele echtparen, die ze verplichtten om erover te zwijgen. Vanaf de jaren 1980 vertelden lesbische en alleenstaande moeders wel de waarheid aan hun kinderen. Er was toch geen man dia als vader door het leven kon gaan. Vandaag de dag gaan donorkinderen met behulp van DNA op zoek naar hun biologische vader. Aan het schrijven van dit boek ging jarenlang onderzoek vooraf, maar dit is geen klassiek geschiedenisboek. Het verleden wordt tastbaar gemaakt door de vaak ontroerende verhalen van de mensen wier levens vervlochten zijn met de spermabank, van artsen tot wensouders en donorkinderen. Zo schetst dit boek een persoonlijk en veelzijdig beeld, dat de nodige inzichten biedt om hedendaagse debatten en schandalen te begrijpen.
