European and Turkish Voices in Favour and Against Turkish Accession to the European Union
In 2005 the European Commission and the Turkish government started their investigation of the adaptation of Turkish legislation to European law. But public opinion remains sceptical and a thorough discussion among European and Turkish proponents is still needed. Apart from the many beliefs, ideals and prognoses that circulate about the past and future of Europe as well as Turkey, the negotiations continue and different scenarios and time-frames are being developed. In the end, it is the question of the otherness of Turkey to Europe that constitutes the core of the discussion and may offer the start of an answer. To put forward the arguments for and against Turkish accession to the European Union, the University Centre Saint-Ignatius Antwerp organised a two-day academic workshop held in June 2006 in Antwerp. This publication gathers together the opinions of Turkish and European scholars and diplomats about the socio-economic, cultural-religious and political arguments being used in the discussion.
Global Perspectives on Indian Spirituality and Management
This book brings together a collection of articles from eminent scholars and practitioners from India, Europe, the USA, and Australia and investigates the applicability of spiritually inspired business models in Indian and Western contexts. This book is a tribute to the revered Indian management scholar and philosopher Professor S. K. Chakraborty, a pioneer of human values and Indian ethos in management. It explores the potentials and pitfalls of spiritual-based leadership and provides directions for renewing business education to embrace human values and spirituality. The forty contributions in the book are divided into seven sections—introduction; business ethics and management; developing new organizational models and processes; potentials and pitfalls of spirituality-based leadership; leaders and their world; education, spirituality, and society; ways to go—to bring out different aspects of the spirituality in business model endorsed by Chakraborty. The book is a treasure trove for researchers of not only business ethics, but also of leadership and strategy studies, in addition to the organization professionals and the general reader for expert insights on the topic.

Servant Leadership, Social Entrepreneurship and the Will to Serve
This book brings together a number of important essays on the intersection of servant leadership and social entrepreneurship, examining them through a shared focus on ‘the will to serve’. This combination bears out the insight that inspiring social and economic leaders are able to transform a conflictual human settlement into a collaborative and caring human community. The book seeks to answer the question of whether we can induce from their ‘way of doing things’ a model of civic entrepreneurship and leadership that can inspire people in profit, non-profit and public organizations. It also examines the extent to which the will to serve is compatible with the will to maximize profit or the will to gain economic, political or religious power. Furthermore, it asks how far different spiritual traditions create different models and examples of servant leadership and social entrepreneurship. This book will be of interest to researchers working in the fields of business ethics, business spirituality and corporate social responsibility.
Turkije
Uit Turkije komen berichten over tal van problemen. De strijd tegen de Koerden, de opkomst van de fundamentalisten, de hoge werkloosheid en inflatie: er lijkt wel geen einde aan te komen. De vraag die velen op de lippen brandt, is of het land wel klaar is om lid te worden van de Europese Unie. De artikelen in deze publicatie trachten een veelzijdig en actueel beeld van Turkije te tonen: "De Republiek Turkije: levensverhaal van een tachtigjarige" (Erik-Jan Zürcher). "Sociologisch portret van Turkije" (Faruk Sen). "Van een Ottomaanse naar een Turkse economie: 1453-2002" (Gerrit De Vylder). "Buitenlandse politiek van Turkije na de Koude Oorlog" (Hüseyin Bagci en Idris Ba)l. "Turkije: De lange weg naar Europa" (Veli Yüksel). " De kemalistische staat op de proefstand" (Dirk Rochtus). "Turkije en de mensenrechten: enig nieuws?" (Selçuk Gültasli).
Buddhist and Islamic Orders in Southern Asia
Over the last few decades historians and other scholars have succeeded in identifying diverse patterns of connection linking religious communities across Asia and beyond. Yet despite the fruits of this specialist research, scholars in the subfields of Islamic and Buddhist studies have rarely engaged with each other to share investigative approaches and methods of interpretation. This volume was conceived to open up new spaces of creative interaction between scholars in both fields that will increase our understanding of the circulation and localization of religious texts, institutional models, ritual practices, and literary specialists. The book’s approach is to scrutinize one major dimens...
