Case Studies in Family Business
In this illuminating casebook, Roland Kidwell brings together eminent scholars and researchers, showcasing real-world examples of family businesses and potential challenges they may face. Chapters encapsulate possible tensions that may manifest within family businesses, including sibling rivalry, intergenerational conflict, and clashing ideas about work ethic. Ultimately, the authors propose that it is essential for stakeholders and those in leadership to understand what techniques, policies and behaviors do, and indeed do not, work in family firms.
Apartheid and Anti-Apartheid in Western Europe
This edited collection examines how Western European countries have responded and been influenced by the apartheid system in South Africa. The debate surrounding apartheid in South Africa underwent a shift in the second half of the 20th century, with long held positive, racist European opinions of white South Africans slowly declining since decolonisation in the 1960s, and the increase in the importance of human rights in international politics. While previous studies have approached this question in the context of national histories, more or less detached from each other, this edited collection offers a broader insight into the transnational and entangled histories of Western European and South African societies. The contributors use exemplary case studies to trace the change of perception, covering a plurality of reactions in different societies and spheres: from the political and social, to the economic and cultural. At the same time, the collection emphasizes the interconnections of those reactions to what has been called the last ‘overtly racist regime’ (George Frederickson) of the twentieth century.
Uitgeverij de Spieghel
Dutch description: In 1926 begonnen Jantina van Klooster en Koos Schregardus in Amsterdam uitgeverij De Spieghel en zij behoorden daarmee tot de eerste Nederlandse vrouwen in het uitgeversvak. Zij specialiseerden zich in de uitgave van kunstboeken, (vertaalde) literatuur en natuurboeken. Bekend werd De Spieghel vooral als uitgever van het literaire tijdschrift De Vrije Bladen.Dit boek schetst de Spieghel-geschiedenis, die in de Tweede Wereldoorlog abrupt werd onderbroken, toen de uitgeefsters in 1942 weigerden zich aan te sluiten bij de Kultuurkamer. Zij publiceerden illegale boeken en kwamen in het kunstenaarsverzet in contact met beeldhouwer en verzetsstrijder Gerrit Jan van der Veen. Hij vond na een mislukte overval op het Huis van Bewaring onderdak in het huis van De Spieghel op de Prinsengracht 856. Het adres werd verraden en Jantina van Klooster en Van der Veen werden gearresteerd. De laatste werd kort daarna gefusilleerd; Van Klooster kwam in januari 1945 om in Ravensbrueck.Het boek eindigt met de na-oorlogse periode toen Koos Schregardus samenwerkte met Suzy van Hall en in de jaren vijftig met uitgeverij C.P.J. van der Peet.

Controlling Comitology
Comitology is the most important form of multi-level governance in the EU. Member State and Commission actors together create roughly 2,500 executive acts per year amounting to half of all European laws. Using new European and national data, this books argues that its accountability has improved over time, but that unexpected gaps have emerged.
