Abstract

Beweegt de Belgische samenleving 20 jaar na de Aardetop (1992) in de richting van duurzame ontwikkeling? Of bevinden we ons op een hellend vlak? Twee redacteurs, beide van de 'Rio-generatie' en afkomstig uit twee gemeenschappen van dit land, gingen de uitdaging aan om in het eerste deel van het werk die vraag te onderzoeken. Zij stelden diezelfde vraag ook aan sleutelfiguren uit de maatschappij. Vrouwen, jeugd, allochtonen, ngo's, lokale overheden, werknemers, werkgevers, wetenschappers, boeren...: coauteurs die deze groepen vertegenwoordigen of goed kennen hebben het in het tweede deel over deze evolutie, over hun ervaringen en hun verwachtingen. In het derde deel vragen experten zich af of wij de huidige ontwikkeling terdege met indicatoren opvolgen en hoe de jeugd via educatie wordt voorbereid op de toekomst die hen wacht.De vaststellingen in het boek zijn soms verrassend maar ze convergeren minstens op één punt: de uitdagingen zijn enorm en moeten dringend worden aangepakt. De titel van het laatste deel spreekt dan ook boekdelen: 'Oproep tot dringende actie om de transitie te versnellen!'

Abstract

Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal share many characteristics, including a common language, fertile land, abundant rainfall, year-round warmth, and a dense population. This book examines the progress made in crucial economic sectors that have paved the way for the development of Bangladesh and West Bengal. The book begins by describing how Bangladesh is moving toward achieving the status of a middle-income nation, and how West Bengal seems to have fallen into the trap of developmental experiments with different political ideologies over time. The book then compares the trajectory of development in various economic sectors of the two economies. In doing so, it covers social development, education, health care, food habits, cinema and theatre, and the entrepreneurship of both entities. The chapters take an empirical and descriptive approach to address various issues, analyse results, draw conclusions, and make policy suggestions.

Abstract

This book examines women, money, and political participation in the Middle East and North Africa focusing on women’s capacity to engage local political systems. In particular, it considers whether and how this engagement is facilitated through specific types of financial flows from abroad. Arab countries are well-known rentier states, and so a prime destination for foreign aid, worker remittances, and oil-related investment. Alongside other factors these external monies have elicited dramatic shifts in gender-related social norms and expectations both from the state and the domestic population, affording certain women the opportunity to enter the political arena, while leaving others behind. The research presented here expands the discussion of women in rentier political economy and highlights their roles as participants and agents within regional templates for economic development.

Abstract

This book investigates the determinants of leadership in East Asia, emphasizing the significance of followership in the success and failure of leadership projects proposed by China, Japan, and the United States. While doing so, it answers a central question in the field of international relations: Why do potential leader countries succeed in obtaining potential followers in some instances, but fail to do so in other instances? Employing an inclusive leadership and societal approach, the book investigates how the leading countries motivate followership in East Asian economic and security dynamics. It analyzes how Chinese, Japanese and American leadership obtained acceptance from potential followers, focusing on the significance of domestic politics of potential follower countries in shaping their governmental preferences and generating followership. The book features empirical evidence in six case studies, covering topics such as the successful Chinese endeavor of South Korea joining the Chinese initiative for the Asian Infrastructure and Investment Bank (AIIB), the failed US attempt to prevent South Korea from doing so, the US's success to convince Japan to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the failed Japanese strive for winning South Korea's support for Japan’s bid for a permanent seat at the UN Security Council (UNSC), the Chinese failure at obtaining the Philippines’ backing of the Chinese aspirations in the South China Sea (SCS) during the Aquino Presidency, and, finally, the Chinese success one the same effort during the Duterte presidency. The book will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of international relations interested in a better understanding of leadership determinants in East Asia, Global Power Shift, foreign policy, as well as East Asian economic and security dynamics.
