Three Visions for Nato STUDY Despite gloomy headlines, NATO serves its members’ core security interests and is here to stay. Beyond this agreement, however, expert communities in member states strongly disagree on NATO’s future direction. PEACE AND SECURITY Contested are NATO’s future focus, priorities and strategies THREE VISIONS towards Russia, China and its Southern neighbourhood, as well as the ways in which its internal architecture should FOR NATO be reformed. Mapping National Debates on the Future of the Atlantic Alliance Three different visions of NATO’s future are on the table: (i) a »NATO classic plus« would fo- cus on collective defence and Russia, with a few extras, such Matthias Dembinski and Caroline Fehl (eds.) as cyber. (ii) a »NATO with a June 2021 global outlook« would set its sights on China and widen its partnerships. (iii) a »NATO Gen- eration Z« would widen its scope even further and address such risks as climate change and democratic backsliding.

  • Great Expectations: the Experienced Credibility of Cabinet Ministers and Parliamentary Party Leaders
    Great expectations: the experienced credibility of cabinet ministers and parliamentary party leaders Sabine van Zuydam [email protected] Concept, please do not cite Paper prepared for the NIG PUPOL international conference 2016, session 4: Session 4: The Political Life and Death of Leaders 1 In the relationship between politics and citizens, political leaders are essential. While parties and issues have not become superfluous, leaders are required to win support of citizens for their views and plans, both in elections and while in office. To be successful in this respect, credibility is a crucial asset. Research has shown that credible leaders are thought to be competent, trustworthy, and caring. What requires more attention is the meaning of competent, caring, and trustworthy leaders in the eyes of citizens. In this paper the question is needed to be credible according to citizens in different leadership positions, e.g. cabinet ministers and parliamentary party leaders. To answer this question, it was studied what is expected of leaders in terms of competence, trustworthiness, and caring by conducting an extensive qualitative analysis of Tweets and newspaper articles between August 2013 and June 2014. In this analysis, four Dutch leadership cases with a contrasting credibility rating were compared: two cabinet ministers (Frans Timmermans and Mark Rutte) and two parliamentary party leaders (Emile Roemer and Diederik Samsom). This analysis demonstrates that competence relates to knowledgeability, decisiveness and bravery, performance, and political strategy. Trustworthiness includes keeping promises, consistency in views and actions, honesty and sincerity, and dependability. Caring means having an eye for citizens’ needs and concern, morality, constructive attitude, and no self-enrichment.

    GENOOTSCHAP NEDERLAND - ARUBA VOOR U GELEZEN… 24 OKTOBER 2015 TEN GELEIDE Geachte deelnemer van het Genootschap Nederland-Aruba, geachte lezer! Hierbij ontvangt u de augustus-september 2015-editie van Voor u gelezen… De geregelde bloemlezing van berichten over actuele ontwikkelingen in en om Aruba is, zoals al vele jaren het geval is, geredigeerd door ons bestuurslid Nelo Emerencia. De berichten die hij deze keer selecteerde, betreffen de belangwekkende discussie over de rechtsgeldigheid van de financiële aanwijzing (2014) voor Aruba. Maar ook de mogelijke overname en heropening van de raffinaderij. Relevant is voorts dat veel Arubaanse jongeren een vervolgstudie beginnen in Nederland, op Aruba en in de regio. Graag wil ik bij het uitkomen van deze publicatie van ons Genootschap Nederland-Aruba kort stilstaan bij de Jaarlijkse Bijeenkomst op 3 oktober. Het bestuur is verheugd te kunnen melden dat deze traditionele, achttiende, bijeenkomst, de belangstelling had van ruim 130 deelnemers en genodigden. Centraal stond de toespraak van de Arubaanse taalkundige Ramon Todd Dandaré. In zijn inleiding over de historische ontwikkeling en emancipatie van het Papiamento gaf hij aan hoopvol te zijn over de toekomst van deze taal. De Gevolmachtigde Minister van Aruba, de heer Alfonso Boekhoudt, belichtte in zijn toespraak enkele actuele ontwikkelingen in Aruba. Hij besteedde o.m. aandacht aan de duurzame ontwikkeling en het investeringsbeleid van Aruba. Op de Jaarbijeenkomst 2015 heb ik met nadruk aandacht geschonken aan de politieke en maatschappelijke omgeving van het Genootschap Nederland-Aruba. De verhoudingen binnen het Koninkrijk zijn zakelijker en directer geworden. Dit vaststellende vervult het Genootschap een belangrijke rol in het debat over thema’s die de verdere ontplooiing van onze Koninkrijksbetrekkingen aangaan.

In 2016, he launched the spin-off Ramani (Swahili for “map”). The company shares data such as satellite images of crops and roads, weather reports and informa- tion gathered from smartphones via crowd sourcing. Ramani developed a toolkit that gives app developers ac- cess to these information resources. “We have an app that informs drivers carrying perishable goods about obstructions on their route. Another app informs mango farmers about the optimal times at which to harvest and dry the fruit. Journalists can use an app to report misconduct such as bribery. The app Cheetah, which tackles loss of food in Africa, has already won several awards.” Ramani is part of Ujuizi (“wisdom,” “intelligence”), a holding that collabo- rates with corporations and uses the UT’s intellectual property to improve mobile technology in developing coun- tries. “There are already thousands of Ujuizi Laboratories throughout Ghana and Indonesia and we have recently met with local entrepreneurs in Kenya and South Africa.” Venus appreciates the efforts of “The app Cheetah, experts such as Nikolet Zwart, who which tackles loss of food offers local entrepreneurs legal and WERE YOU THERE? financial advice.

Discussions in Ukraine about how Kyiv had to react to the events in neighboring Belarus and what would be the right choice for further reactions continue. Some believe that Ukraine should act more actively and persistently. Others point out to the limited influence of Kyiv. What kind of role should Ukraine play in resolving the crisis in Belarus? What should Ukraine do? In terms of the traditional rubric “New Europe Wonders...” our Center received answers to these questions from leading experts from Belarus, the EU and the US. A key motif of expert recommendations: Ukraine should provide moral support to the opposition, help political refugees, as well as actively communicate the Belarusian case on international platforms.
