This open access book is about understanding the processes involved in the transformation of smallholder rice farming in the Lower Mekong Basin from a low-yielding subsistence activity to one producing the surpluses needed for national self-sufficiency and a high-value export industry.

This book is based on collaborative research to (a) compare the current situation and trajectories ...

Marcel Cigrang, een van de oprichters van de maritieme groep Cobelfret, werkte voor en tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog nauw samen met de militaire geheime dienst van de nazis.

Geval per geval heeft hij uitgezocht hoe ze in contact kwamen met de spionage- en sabotagedienst van de We...
