Benoemingen tot Minister van Staat komen maar eens in de zoveel jaren voorbij en zij hebben een tamelijk exclusief karakter. Wie komen er voor in aanmerking en wat doet zo’n minister eigenlijk? Dat er weinig bekend is over deze toch wel begeerde ‘Haagse geste’, zeker vanuit officiële bronnen, blijkt uit koppen in het nieuws als ‘mysterieuze erebaan’ en ‘gesloten circuit’. Tot op heden is naar de benoemingen tot en de rol van Ministers van Staat nog geen samenhangend wetenschappelijk onderzoek gedaan, terwijl deze staatkundige ‘figuur’ al meer dan tweehonderd jaar als een rode draad door ons staatsbestel loopt. In deze studie bekijkt Evert-Jan Govaers de Minister van Staat ...

This volume presents the proceedings of an international symposium organized by the Getty Conservation Institute and the J. Paul Getty Museum. The first conference of its kind in twenty years, the symposium assembled an international group of conservators of painted panels, and gave them the opportunity to discuss their philosophies and share their work methods. Illustrated in color throughout, this volume presents thirty-one papers grouped into four topic areas: Wood Science and Technology, History of Panel-Manufacturing Techniques, History of the Structural Conservation of Panel Paintings, and Current Approaches to the Structural Conservation of Panel Paintings.
A comprehensive socio-legal study of the interrelation between gender and the law of refugee status. The book contains an interdisciplinary analysis. The empirical data, collected for this study, concerns Dutch asylum practice. The Netherlands is a prominent refugee-receiving country in Europe, yet hardly any English texts address Dutch refugee law. The book also covers foreign case law and academic writing. Therefore, the analysis is relevant for all refugee-receiving countries in the Western world; the empirical data on the Netherlands functions as a case study. The book combines perspectives of post-structuralist feminism and post-colonial studies. Refugee women are constructed as a double other. This intersectionality is related to the construction of the Third World as feminine (passive, in need of active outside intervention).
An examination of the debates on European Central Bank monetary policy, focusing on issues of transparency, credibility, and accountability and the effect of the ECB's decentralized structure. The adoption of the euro in 1999 by 11 member states of the European Union created a single currency area second in economic size only to the United States. The euro zone's monetary policy is now set by the European Central Bank (ECB) and its Governing Council rather than by individual national central banks. This CESifo volume examines issues that have arisen in the first years of ECB monetary policy and analyzes the effect that current ECB policy strategy and structures may have in the future. After ...

This richly illustrated book provides an overview of all known Dutch and Flemish artists up to the nineteenth century who painted or drew flower pieces, or else made prints of them. Unlike many mainstream art historical studies, the book takes a truly comprehensive approach, including cases where only a single example is known or even if nothing of the artist’s other work appears to have survived. Containing highly instructive lists identifying the names of flowers, as well as insects and other animals, the book also discusses the earliest depictions of flower still life and the distinctive characteristics behind the development of floral arrangements in different periods, including the va...
