Missionaries have been subject to academic and societal debate. Some scholars highlight their contribution to the spread of modernity and development among local societies, whereas others question their motives and emphasise their inseparable connection with colonialism. In this volume, fifteen authors – from both Europe and the Global South – address these often polemical positions by focusing on education, one of the most prominent fields in which missionaries have been active. They elaborate on Protestantism as well as Catholicism, work with cases from the 18th to the 21st century, and cover different colonial empires in Asia and Africa. The volume introduces new angles, such as gender, the agency of the local population, and the perspective of the child.
This study examines the effects of EC decisions on business strategy and the relationship that businesses must form with the EC in order to influence decision-making to their own advantage. The author explores a range of different businesses, such as telecommunications, the automobile industry and pharmaceuticals, and identifies ways in which they can work effectively with the EC, pinpointing areas of concern including competition law and consumer policies. A section on the process of lobbying demonstrates how businesses can make the most of what the EC has to offer.
‘De wereld is een dorp geworden’. Iedereen wordt zich meer bewust van de enorme onderlinge afhankelijkheid van nationale economieën. Dat bewustzijn is niet van recente datum, maar groeit nu exponentieel. Voor dit boek is geen gespecialiseerde kennis van economie vereist. Het legt alles zorgvuldig en geduldig uit. Daarbij kozen de auteurs voor een grafische bespreking en uitdieping van de thema’s, met beperkte wiskundige uitwerkingen. Het uiteindelijke resultaat is wel een uitgebreide en grondige kennis van de internationale economie of van deelaspecten ervan. Verspreid over het hele boek lichten boxen specifieke topics toe.
