Stoer, kort-beslist, geen tegenspraak duldend, slechts noode wederleggingen aanhoorende, is Mevr. Elise van Calcar een van die figuren, welke de hen omringenden weten te domineeren, zoo al niet intimideeren, en wier onbuigbare wil bergen weet te verzetten. De vrouw die hier door haar tijdgenote Wilhelmina Drucker beschreven wordt was in haar eeuw een landelijk bekende persoonlijkheid.

At the same time they are based on an incomplete and often inadequate understanding of these relations. The second angle consists of a number of case studies undertaken in different countries (Nepal, Sri Lanka, Niger, Burkina Faso) to empirically explore how and where gender relations affect and are affected by irrigation management policies and practices.
State-civil society relations in Africa have during recent decades been transformed in the context of economic liberalisation and state reform. This study explores state-civil society relations in contemporary Uganda, from 1986 to the present, in order to illustrate and explain the scope for and capacity of different social forces to create access to and democratise the state. The study interrogates state-civil society relations under the incumbent National Resistance Movement government as these are expressed through forms of interest representation and conflict regulation in different political arenas. It analyses this problem through an empirical study of the health sector at both nationa...
