    Rethinking Authority in the Carolingian Empire (2021)
    Amsterdam University Press | Pallas Publications
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-05-13
    Description: By the early ninth century, the responsibility for a series of social, religious and political transformations had become an integral part of running the Carolingian empire. This became especially clear when, in 813/4, Louis the Pious and his court seized the momentum generated by their predecessors and broadened the scope of these reforms ever further. These reformers knew they represented a movement greater than the sum of its parts; the interdependence between those wielding imperial authority and those bearing responsibility for ecclesiastical reforms was driven by comprehensive, yet still surprisingly diverse expectations.Taking this diversity as a starting point, this book takes a fresh look at the optimistic first decades of the ninth century. Extrapolating from a series of detailed case studies rather than presenting a new grand narrative, it offers new interpretations of contemporary theories of personal improvement and institutional correctio, and shows the self-awareness of its main instigators as they pondered what it meant to be a good Christian in a good Christian empire.

    The Netherlands in a Nutshell: Highlights from Dutch History and Culture (2021)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-05-13
    Description: Many think they know the legends behind tulipmania and the legacy of the Dutch East India Company, but what basic knowledge of Dutch history should be passed on to future generations? This overview of historical highlights, assembled by a number of specialists in consultation with the Dutch general public, provides a thought-provoking and timely answer. The democratic process behind the volume is reminiscent of the way in which the Netherlands has excelled for centuries at collective craftsmanship, and says as much about the Netherlands as does the outcome of the opinions voiced. The Netherlands in a Nutshell offers a mine of information for visitors to the Netherlands, and should appeal to anyone interested in the history of this fascinating and multi-faceted land in the heart of Europe.

    Genocide (2021)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: The twentieth century has been called, not inaccurately, a century of genocide. And the beginning of the twenty-first century has seen little change, with genocidal violence in Darfur, Congo, Sri Lanka, and Syria. Why is genocide so widespread, and so difficult to stop, across societies that differ so much culturally, technologically, and politically? [-]That's the question that this collection addresses, gathering a stellar roster of contributors to offer a range of perspectives from different disciplines to attempt to understand the pervasiveness of genocidal violence. Challenging outdated beliefs and conventions that continue to influence our understanding, Genocide constitutes a major contribution to the scholarship on mass violence.[-]

    Communication Research into the Digital Society (2024)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: Media and communication have become ubiquitous in today’s societies and affect all aspects of life. On an individual level, they impact how we learn about the world, how we entertain ourselves, and how we interact with others. On an organisational level, the interactions between media and organisations, such as political parties, NGOs, businesses and brands, shape organisations’ reputation, legitimacy, trust and (financial) performance, as well as individuals’ consumer, political, social and health behaviours. At the societal level, media and communication are crucial for shaping public opinion on current issues such as climate change, sustainability, diversity, and well-being. Media challenges are widespread and include mis- and disinformation, the negative impact of algorithms on our information diets, challenges to our privacy, cyberbullying, media addiction, and unwanted persuasion, among many others. All this makes the study of media and communication crucial. This book provides a broad overview of the ways in which people create, use, and experience their media environment, and the role of media and communication for individuals, organisations, and society. The chapters in the book were written by researchers from the Amsterdam School of Communication Research (ASCoR) on the occasion of its 25th anniversary. ASCoR is today the largest research institute of its kind in Europe and has developed over the past 25 years into one of the best communications research institutes in the world.

    Calculated Nationalism in Contemporary South Korea (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-06
    Description: Nationalism in a nation-state reflects its emergent structural, cultural, and personal properties at a given time. In the politico-historical context of South Korea and the globe, the fruits of the 1968 Revolution in France could not reach Korean society under its military regime and exploitative economic structure. This continued to frustrate the grassroots and especially social actors in South Korea, which eventually brought about the June Struggle in 1987 and the 2016–2017 Candlelight Revolution. Calculated Nationalism in Contemporary South Korea sketches Korean grassroots’ perception of their nation-state, national identities, and what they desire regarding the future direction of their nation-state. The grassroots have openly spoken out about their frustrations through political rallies and media. This book attempts to reflect the minds of Korean progressives regarding, in particular, the forcibly recruited Japanese military “comfort women,” Abe’s trade provocation against South Korea in 2019, reunification, the 2016–2017 Candlelight Revolution, National Flag-carriers’ struggles, and bullying at work.

    The New Eurocrats (2021)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Policies in the EU are largely made by national civil servants who prepare and implement decisions in Brussels as well as at home. Despite their important role, these national civil servants form a relatively hidden world that has received little attention from both the media and academics. This volume considers a wide variety of sources and research methods to answer such questions as: how many civil servants are actually involved in EU-related activities? What do these civil servants do when they engage with the EU? And how do they negotiate their dual roles? The New Eurocrats offers unique and invaluable insights into these civil servants and their working practices-and uncovers some secrets in the world of EU governance along the way.
    Description: De Europese Unie staat al geruime tijd ter discussie in de Nederlandse politiek en bij het Nederlandse publiek. Daarbij wordt vaak het spookbeeld opgeroepen van een ongrijpbare bureaucratie die voor Nederland bepaalt wat er moet gebeuren. Maar hoe komen deze Europese besluiten eigenlijk tot stand? En welke invloed heeft de EU daarmee op het Nederlandse bestuur? In The New Eurocrats worden deze vragen vanuit een belangrijk perspectief benaderd dat tot nu toe grotendeels is genegeerd: de rol en activiteiten van Nederlandse ambtenaren binnen de EU. Deze nationale ambtenaren spelen een grote rol bij de totstandkoming en uitvoering van Europees beleid. In dit boek wordt op basis van een schat aan bronnen de 'verborgen wereld' van Nederlandse ambtenaren in de EU belicht. Zo wordt een beter zicht geboden op hoe de EU haar besluiten neemt, hoe Nederlandse ambtenaren daar in hun dagelijkse werk op inspelen en hoe dit doorwerkt in de manier waarop de Nederlandse overheid is georganiseerd.

    The Shifts in Hizbullah's Ideology (2021)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: The Lebanese Shi'ite resistance movement, Hizbullah, is going through a remarkable political and ideological transformation. Hizbullah was founded in 1978 by various sectors of Lebanese Shi'ite clergy and cadres, and with Iranian backing as an Islamic movement protesting against social and political conditions. Over the years 1984/85 to 1991, Hizbullah became a full-fledged social movement in the sense of having a broad overall organization, structure, and ideology aiming at social change and social justice, as it claimed. Starting in 1992, it became a mainstream political party working within the narrow confines of its pragmatic political program. The line of argument in this dissertation is that Hizbullah has been adjusting its identity in the three previously mentioned stages by shifting emphasis among its three components: (1) from propagating an exclusivist religious ideology (2) to a more encompassing political ideology, and (3) to a down-to-earth political program.
    Description: De Libanese Shi'itische verzetsbeweging Hizbullah ondergaat een opzienbarende politieke en ideologische transformatie. Ten tijde van de stichting in 1978, door Libanese geestelijken en leiders en met Iranese steun, was Hizbullah vooral een islamitische beweging die zich verzette tegen sociale en politieke omstandigheden. Gaandeweg ontwikkelde de beweging zich tot een 'volwassen' sociale beweging, met een solide organisatie, structuur en ideologie, gericht op sociale verandering en rechtvaardigheid. Vanaf 1992 manifesteert Hizbullah zich als politieke partij. Deze publicatie schetst een veranderende identiteit door een verschuivende nadruk: van exclusivistische religieuze ideologie, via een ruimere politieke ideologie tot een pragmatisch politiek programma.

    Employment 'Miracles' (2021)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Why did some economies experience a boom in the 1990s? Employment 'Miracles' comparatively analyses select miracle economies. The contributors to the volume critically analyze how the small size and institutional structure of seven countries like the Netherlands, Denmark and Ireland accounted for their success and status as economic models. Comparisons with the American and German markets reveal how differing policies - liberal versus corporatist/social democratic - determine job growth and levels of income inequality and poverty. The book also stresses the explanatory relevance of lucky circumstances such as the housing price bubble. Employment 'Miracles' is an important resource for political scientists and economists in their study of employment development.
    Description: Was de 'miraculeuze' ontwikkeling van de werkgelegenheid in de jaren '90 en net na de eeuwwisseling in onder andere Australië, Nederland en Denemarken inderdaad een wonder, of lag hieraan een uitgekiende strategie ten grondslag? Meestal wordt de oorzaak gezocht in het economisch beleid en de loonmatiging zoals vastgelegd in cao's, die een toenemende export en een afnemende werkloosheid tot gevolg zouden hebben gehad. Dit vijfde deel in de serie "http://www.aup.nl/do.php?a=show_visitor_booklist&b=series&series=29"〉Changing Welfare States laat zien dat toevallige omstandigheden minstens zo belangrijk zijn voor de banengroei als een weloverwogen beleid. Opvallend is vooral de invloed van een sterke huizenmarkt op de economische groei en werkgelegenheid. Loonmatiging, vaak beschouwd als doorslaggevende factor, maakt daarentegen weinig verschil. Hetzelfde geldt voor neoliberale stokpaardjes als het snijden in de uitkeringen en flexibilisering van de arbeidsmarkt om een sterke concurrentiepositie te behouden. Becker en Schwartz laten zien dat de meeste van de onderzochte landen, vooral Scandinavische, door de handhaving van een genereus sociaal bestel een reëel alternatief bieden voor de dominante liberale weg naar werkgelegenheidsgroei.
