Abstract

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

Abstract

In 1964 sloot België historische akkoorden om de immigratie van Turken en Marokkanen, toen broodnodig voor onze arbeidsmarkt, mogelijk te maken. 50 jaar later wordt dit feit uitgebreid herdacht. De Turkse Gentenaar Veli Yuksel vindt dat er eigenlijk niet zoveel reden is om te feesten. Hij groef in de archieven en interviewed talrijke betrokkenen (van Abou Jahjah tot Johan Leman, van Tom Naegels tot Marouane Fellaini, en van Etienne Vermeersch tot Brahim). Zijn besluit is niet zo fraai: de integratie van de migranten is grotendeels mislukt, de migratie laat een kater na. Maar er is hoop op beterschap.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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

Abstract

In de periode 2011-2018 werd onze wereld aan een grondige geopolitieke transformatie onderworpen. Voor Europa lijkt het wel of alle zekerheden op het vlak van veiligheid, economie en ecologie onderuit werden gehaald. Het partnerschap met de Verenigde Staten is sterk onder druk komen te staan sinds president Trump, de relaties met Rusland verslechterden door de crises in Oekraïne en Syrië, in het Midden-Oosten ontaardde de ‘Arabische Lente' in burgeroorlogen en regionale oorlogen in Libië, Syrië en Jemen en is een machtsstrijd gaande tussen soennieten en sjiieten. Tegelijkertijd is het oude economische model op basis van fossiele brandstoffen aan zijn laatste decennia begonnen en werd hernieuwbare energie op sommige domeinen concurrentieel. Het westerse model van ‘democratie' en ‘vrijheid' kwam zelf onder druk, omdat het te veel op een neoliberale leest geschoeid was, en tegenreacties vanuit de bredere maatschappij brachten Trump en Brexit. China promoot dan weer een alternatief model. Zo ontstaat onder andere via het ‘One Belt, One Road'-initiatief een nieuwe race om Eurazië. De auteur wil doorheen al deze verwarring duidelijkheid brengen. Er breekt voor Europa een nieuwe periode aan. Brussel kan het zich in het buitenlands beleid niet langer veroorloven om in exclusieven met de Verenigde Staten te denken. In de nieuwe geopolitiek-multipolaire wereld moet Brussel een balanspolitiek met alle ‘polen' voeren: Washington, Moskou, Beijing, Tokio, Londen,… Met een scherpe geopolitieke analyse bespreekt prof. Criekemans de gevaren en kansen

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.
