'Closing the Gap'
None
Fear of Theory
Listen to the podcast here. Recent academic historiography has seen a profusion of theoretical perspectives on biography, both analytical and descriptive. Yet many biographers still fear ‘theory’ as antithetical to accessible narration of real lives. This volume presents eighteen essays by more than a dozen scholars and practitioners from Australia, Belgium, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, Hungary, Iceland, and the United States who seek to banish such fear. Writing with candor, wide experience and familiarity with modern teaching, they examine the riches greeting the biographer willing to think more deeply about biography: its inner workings and rationale in a world still hungry for fact and truth. Contributors are: Nigel Hamilton, Sigurður Gylfi Magnússon, Emma McEwin, Melanie Nolan, Kerstin Maria Pahl, Eric Palmen, Hans Renders, Carl Rollyson, David T. Roth, István M. Szijártó, Jeffrey Tyssens, and David Veltman. See inside the book.
Religion, Politics and Law
Exploring the pre-political en pre-legal spiritual infrastructure from which modern, liberal democracies in the West live, but cannot guarantee, this book inquires the relations between religion, politics and law from a philosophical perspective, discussing historical, systematical and practical issues.

Tolerating Intolerance
In this work, Amos Guiora defines extremism through the lens of a comparative and empirical study in order to lay the foundations for a legal response that considers the tradeoffs that may be necessary to deal with it.
Making the Personal Political
"Making the Personal Political is an interdisciplinary account of a now forgotten success story in the history of the society and culture of the Netherlands. While Dutch women had apparently retreated into domesticity after gaining the vote in 1919, women writers were out there in the market place selling the inside story of women's lives. Eight case studies of women writers between 1919 and 1970 trace the unconscious politics of the personal in narratives of women's identity and experience through close readings of texts located in the culture of the time. Jane Fenoulhet, whose knowledge of Dutch literature and culture in the twentieth century is unparallelled in the English-speaking world, tracks the public representation of women's private project of self development to the moment when the personal is finally accepted as politically important in Dutch society."
Immigrant Nations
A defence of the meaning and function of borders and their necessity in the face of authoritarian attitudes to multiculturalism
Zwerfpost
Alfred Birney verdiepte zich een leven lang in koloniale en postkoloniale romans, geschiedenisboeken en nieuwsbronnen in schrift, beeld en geluid. Zwerfpost is zijn persoonlijke selectie uit wat hij daar gedurende 25 jaar over schreef: artikelen, blogposts, columns, essays, kritieken, lezingen, studies, schetsen, schotschriften, reisverslagen en portretten van onbekende schrijvers met afwijkende geluiden over Oost versus West. De kern vormt het tussenperspectief van de Indo, tussen Oost en West in, het toonbeeld van de onbegrepen en ongeziene figuur. Birney presenteert zijn persoonlijke ervaringen en leeservaringen chronologisch en nodigt zo de lezer uit zijn levendige postkoloniale ontdekkingstocht in wisselende stijlen door de jaren heen te volgen. Met een inleiding van Gustaaf Peek. ‘Feel the Birn.’ – De Groene Amsterdammer
Moorden met woorden

Modern Geopolitics and Security
The transformation from traditional war between nation-states to conflict between nation-states and nonstate actors requires decision makers, policy analysts, military commanders, intelligence officials, and legislators to answer the question: is there a strategy for an unwinnable conflict? This book draws on the author's extensive experience in counterterrorism, negotiation, and the implementation of the Oslo Peace Process, with his more recent work in academia. The book uses an interdisciplinary case study model to illustrate valuable lessons learned and best practices in strategic analysis and decision making in geopolitics. It examines international relations, international law, and negotiation/intervention as they pertain to recent and historical examples of global crises and security.
