This paper investigates the importance of transparency of internationalization and various obstacles and barriers that influence international short student mobility within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) in particular in the Netherlands and in Russia. Having in mind that due to privacy regulations and availability of data regarding international short student mobility, this article is using a framework based on literature review. The authors analyze patterns in international short student mobility, both between countries andover time, notonly by using various literature analyses but as well as interviews and panel discussions atHAN University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands and Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Russia, to give this research an qualitative dimensionand underline how internationalization and what various factors are relevant to international short student mobility. This article presents an important contribution to this growing field of literatureby doing a comparative analysis about the factors which positively improve the international short students mobility. The three folded impact ofthis paper is obvious for the stakeholders involved: students, institutions and policy makers are responsible for the smooth cooperation and coordination for a better international mobility.

Magic and Science in the Nineteenth-century Culture of Spectacle: Henri Robin in the Low Countries. The theatre of modernity served to illuminate scientific insight and discovery in a spectacular way. Astronomy, physics, and experiments with electricity were at the heart of a popular genre that became known as ‘physiques amusantes’ (amusing physics). These shows occupied a middle ground between entertainment and science, between showing and doing. They were often staged by magicians, who presented themselves as ‘professors’ and awed audiences at local fairgrounds, world’s fairs, and popular theatres. One such figure was Henri Robin (1811–1974). Reviews and images dating from Robin’s time in Belgium and the Netherlands and his own memoirs of his time in Paris reveal that he found himself at the crossroads of a number of key developments. In particular, Robin’s theatre practices shed light on the changing nature of spectacle in the latter half of the nineteenth century. His shows succeeded in maintaining a precarious balance between spectacle-driven entertainment and scientific learning, between visually-oriented fairground amusement for the masses and educational fare for the new bourgeoisie. This article will discuss the complex relationship between aesthetic and didactic concerns in Henri Robin’s theatre shows, their remarkable blend of science and magic, and their effect on audiences. At the same time, we will demonstrate that the spectacle of modernity in the Low Countries resulted in part from the international mobility of showmen such as Robin.

AbstractReflecting from a European perspective upon the shift of the centre of gravity of Christianity to the global South, the author explores the implications of this shift for intercultural communication and hermeneutics within world Christianity. Are North-South relationships within world Christianity simply to be reversed, and does European Christianity end up exclusively at the receiving end? Discussing his studies of Christian immigrants in The Netherlands, the author states that the struggle between Western and non-Western Christians is a struggle about the values of modernity. This is shown in de debates about abortion, single sex marriages and euthanasia. The author holds that European theologians cannot simply return to pre-modern values, stick to modern universalism or be satisfied with post-modern relativity. They must develop further a trans-modern hermeneutic.

Dengan sifatnya yang konfliktual karena memiliki nilai ekonomi dan penguasaan teritori yang kompleks, pendalaman kajian soal sumber daya alam semestinya mendapat porsi ilmiah yang lebih besar. Lebih lagi, riset yang dibukukan, utamanya yang terkait dengan persoalan pengelolaan sumber daya alam di Indonesia masih kurang komprehensif. Berbagai opini yang vokal, utamanya dari organisasi masyarakat sipil, masih bernada reaktif dan tidak didukung penelitian dan pengelolaan data yang tertsruktur sebagai lawan dari narasi arus utama. Pun demikian dengan kajian akademik yang membahas perihal pengelolaan sumber daya alam. Kajian-kajian tersebut masih terkendala dengan akses data, akses keuangan, dan lembaga pendanaan penelitian pun masih kurang menyediakan alokasi bagi penelitian berbasis sumber daya alam di Indonesia, utamanya yang terkait bidang sosial-politik. Lebih luas lagi, dunia yang dibagi menjadi bagian utara dan selatan oleh beberapa organisasi internasional, misalnya United Nations Development Programmme (UNDP), pun memiliki sisi historis yang berbeda dalam menyikapi konflik-konflik sumber daya alamnya. Tidak dapat dipungkiri, di negara-negara selatan yang mayoritas masih berkembang, sumber daya alam masih menjadi sektor pemasok pendapatan negara yang paling utama.Untuk lebih mendapatkan gambaran tentang pendekatan-pendekatan konseptual yang mungkin dapat membantu memahami konflik, buku setebal 204 halaman ini menyajikan hasil-hasil penelitian tentang konflik sumber daya alam di negara-negara selatan. Pendekatan konseptual ini menjadi penting sebagai dasar memulai perdebatan, utamanya demi menyelami kondisi kekhususan yang bervariasi di tiap negara. Buku ini disusun oleh para akademisi dan peneliti Belanda yang bernaung di bawah The Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research, Science for Global Development Division (NWO/WOTRO) serta Kementerian Luar Negeri Kerajaan Belanda. Penyusunan buku ini juga berada di bawah Conflict and Cooperation over Natural Resources in Developing Countries (CoCooN Programme) yang menjalankan tujuh proyek penelitian dalam bidang konflik dan kerja sama terkait sumber daya alam. Hal ini tidak mengherankan mengingat Belanda memiliki tradisi keilmuan yang mengakar di bidang pengelolaan sumber daya alam dan Belanda juga merupakan asal muasal berbagai perusahaan multinasional terkemuka di bidang ekstraktif dan manufaktur.

Voluntary Guidelines

AbstractThroughout the world, particularly in the Global South, state authorities expropriate property rights without following a fair, transparent, and participatory procedure. The Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure provide good governance standards for expropriation procedures that are the results of in-depth world-wide consultations with all stakeholders. Not only countries in the Global South, however, but also countries in Global North are meant to observe the Guidelines. Whether or not expropriation procedures in Germany and the Netherlands are ready for the Guidelines is the topic of this contribution. The Guidelines contain several recommendations for fair, transparent, and participatory expropriation procedures. The state should empower affected persons to participate. Information about the procedure and the subject-matter should be widely disseminated. Participation should take the form of deliberations at a point in time when affected persons can still influence the decision to expropriate property. Obligations to balance all involved interests and to furnish reasons should also form part of a good expropriation procedure. German and Dutch law mostly comply with these Guidelines. However, these systems do not seem to empower participants sufficiently, and do not show a sufficient commitment to deliberations among participants and between participants and the authority. Also, German law does not inform holders of contractual use rights as well as it informs holders of registered property rights.
