Masterscriptie Staats- En Bestuursrecht
Masterscriptie Staats- en Bestuursrecht Het vrije mandaat: feit of fictie? Beperkingen aan fractieafsplitsingen getoetst aan het vrije mandaat van Tweede Kamerleden Auteur A. (Arie) Vonk Noordegraaf LL.B. Studentnummer 3675386 Begeleider prof. mr. R. Nehmelman Datum 22 maart 2017 Sol Iustitiae Illustra Nos - Zon der Gerechtigheid, verlicht ons 2 Voorwoord Maartensdijk, 22 maart 2017 Met het afronden van mijn masterscriptie Staats- en Bestuursrecht komt er einde aan mijn studietijd aan de Universiteit Utrecht. Ik heb de afgelopen jaren enorm veel geleerd en ook genoten van de vele juridische vraagstukken die besproken werden. Na het afronden van de bachelor Rechtsgeleerdheid met een scriptie over de vrijheid van onderwijs was de master Staats- en Bestuursrecht een voor de hand liggende keuze. De master sloot goed aan op mijn (politieke) interesses. Hoewel ik zowel het staatsrecht als het bestuursrecht bestudeerde, ligt mijn hart toch echt bij het staatsrecht. Deze scriptie is daar een bewijs van. Het is mooi om juist in dit voorjaar mijn masterscriptie af te ronden. Het jaar 2017 is in het licht van het onderwerp van deze masterscriptie namelijk een bijzonder jaar. Het is dit jaar precies honderd jaar geleden dat in 1917 het stelsel van evenredige vertegenwoordiging werd ingevoerd. Het jaar 1917 is een keerpunt in de parlementaire geschiedenis van Nederland. Enerzijds is dit het begin van de hedendaagse parlementaire democratie. Anderzijds is de invoering van het stelsel van evenredige vertegenwoordiging ook een bedreiging voor het vrije en persoonlijke mandaat van Tweede Kamerleden. De partijmacht wordt groter terwijl individuele Tweede Kamerleden ook in 2017 worden geacht zonder last te stemmen. -
Together We Will Make a New World Download
This talk, given at ‘Past and Present of Radical Sexual Politics’, the Fifth Meeting of the Seminar ‘Socialism and Sexuality’, Amsterdam October 3-4, 2003, is part of my ongoing research into sexual and political utopianism. Some of the material on pp.1-4 has been re- used and more fully developed in my later article, Speaking Desire: anarchism and free love as utopian performance in fin de siècle Britain, 2009. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License. ‘Together we will make a new world’: Sexual and Political Utopianism by Judy Greenway By reaching for the moon, it is said, we learn to reach. Utopianism, or ‘social dreaming’, is the education of desire for a better world, and therefore a necessary part of any movement for social change.1 In this paper I use examples from my research on anarchism, gender and sexuality in Britain from the 1880s onwards, to discuss changing concepts of free love and the relationship between sexual freedom and social transformation, especially for women. All varieties of anarchism have in common a rejection of the state, its laws and institutions, including marriage. The concept of ‘free love' is not static, however, but historically situated. In the late nineteenth century, hostile commentators linked sexual to political danger. Amidst widespread public discussion of marriage, anarchists had to take a position, and anarchist women placed the debate within a feminist framework. Many saw free love as central to a critique of capitalism and patriarchy, the basis of a wider struggle around such issues as sex education, contraception, and women's economic and social independence. -

Jacqueline Hurtley and Elizabeth Russell Universitat de Barcelona and Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Tarragona Following the fruits of the second wave of feminism fiom the 60s into the 80s, the backlash has set in (cf. Susan Faludi), with texts such as Camille Pagha's Sexual Personae intensqing the reaction. Beyond the women's movemenf we are witnesses to a growing sense of intolerante, made manifest in xenophobic attitudes and racist attacks. In The Nature of Fascism, published in 1991, Roger Grifñn spends his fúst chapter dwelling on the "conundrum" of fascism, so temed because of the lack of consensus as to how fascism might be defined. We do not propose to consider the complexities involved here but will rnake use of Griíñn's working definition: "Fascism is a genus of political ideology whose mythc core in its various permutations is a pahgenetic fom of populist ultranationalism." (Grif6n 1991,26). For our particular purpose, we wish to focus on the concept of palingenesis (fkom palin - again, anew; and genesis - creation, biríh). Fascism promulgated the idea of rebiríh: the movement would bring about "a new national community", one which would draw on, " - where posible, traditions which had supposedly remained uncontaminated by degenerative forces and whose cohesion was assured by new institutions, organisations and practices based on a new political hierarchy and a new heroic ethos" (Griíñn 1991, 45). Women became conspicuous by their absence within the new phallocentnc hierarchy. The new fascist man (hornofmcistus) wodd be intent on saaiñcing himseíf to the higher needs of the nation. In Male Fantasies Klaus Theweleit drew on case-studies produced on a number of individuals who played an active part in German proto-fascism. -

Keynes and the Making of EF Schumacher
Keynes and the Making of E. F. Schumacher, 1929 - 1977 Robert Leonard* “I consider Keynes to be easily the greatest living economist”. Schumacher to Lord Astor, March 15, 19411 “The story goes that a famous German conductor was once asked: ‘Whom do you consider the greatest of all composers? ‘Unquestionably Beethoven’, he replied. ‘Would you not even consider Mozart?’. ‘Forgive me’, he said, ‘I though you were referring only to the others’. The same initial question may one day be put to an economist: ‘Who, in our lifetime, is the greatest? And the answer might come back: ‘Unquestionably Keynes’. ‘Would you not even consider Gandhi?’… ‘Forgive me, I thought you were referring only to all the others’”. Schumacher, in Hoda (1978), p.18 Introduction On Sunday, December 7, 1941, from a cottage deep in the Northamptonshire countryside, the 30- year old Fritz Schumacher wrote to fellow German alien, Kurt Naumann. He was reporting a recent encounter in London. “A man of great kindness, of downright charm; but, much more than I expected, the Cambridge don type. I had expected to find a mixture beween a man of action and a thinker; but the first impression is predominant, only that of a thinker. I do not know how far his practical influence goes today. Some tell me that it is extraordinarily great. The conversation was totally different from what I expected. I was ready to sit at his feet and listen to the Master’s words. Instead, there was an extremely lively discussion, a real battle of heavy artillery, and all this even though we were 99% in agreement from the outset. -

Design Ecologies, Creative Labor and Hybrid Ecological Democracy Re-Enchanting Humanity to Prepare for the Just Transition Beyond Trump and End Times Ecology
Design Ecologies, Creative Labor and Hybrid Ecological Democracy Re-enchanting humanity to prepare for the Just Transition beyond Trump and End Times Ecology DRAFT, DRAFT, DRAFT, ROUGH, ROUGH, ROUGH Comments and critiques most welcome. Damian White The Rhode Island School of Design. [email protected] Design Ecologies, Creative Labor and Ecological Democracy Thinking the Just Transition beyond Trump and End Times Ecology Damian White, Professor of Social Theory and Environmental Studies, The Rhode Island School of Design [email protected] It could be argued that the project of ecological democracy that emerged from green political theory has been essentially concerned with finding ways to democratically regulate environmental limits. Conversely, theorizations of ecological democracy emerging out of political ecology, critical geography and STS have been rather more interested in finding ways to democratize the making of our hybrid social- natures. Each tradition of ecodemocratic thinking shares a desire to push back against eco-authoritarian ecologies that once had wide purchase on certain survivalist and apocalyptic ecologies of times past. But each tradition has had different foci of concerns generating a certain degree of disengagement and detachment. We find ourselves now in a context where the climate crisis continues, authoritarian populists are on the march and the project of ecological democracy seems ever more distant. The need for a just transition beyond fossil fuels becomes urgent, however an ecology of panic and hopelessness increasingly seems to pervade all manner of environmental discourse. In this paper I want to explore the role that emerging work in critical design studies might offer, in conjunction with emerging currents of labor focused political ecologies, to recharge the project of ecological democracy thus moving us beyond both end times ecology and Trump-ism. -

Ernst Friedrich Schumacher
Ernst Friedrich Schumacher Ernst Friedrich Schumacher "Fritz" (16 August 1911 – 4 September 1977) was an internationally influential economic thinker, statistician and economist in Britain, serving as Chief Economic Advisor to the UK National Coal Board for two decades. [ 1 ] His ideas became popularized in much of the English-speaking world during the 1970s. He is best known for his critique of Western economies and his proposals for human-scale, decentralized and appropriate technologies . According to The Times Literary Supplement , his 1973 book Small Is Beautiful : a study of economics as if people mattered is among the 100 most influential books published since World War II . [ 2 ] and was soon translated into many languages, bringing him international fame. Schumacher's basic development theories have been summed up in the catch-phrases Intermediate Size and Intermediate Technology . In 1977 he published A Guide For The Perplexed 1 / 8 Ernst Friedrich Schumacher as a critique of materialist scientism and as an exploration of the nature and organization of knowledge . Together with long-time friends and associates like Professor Mansur Hoda , Schumacher founded the Intermediate Technology Development Group (now Practical Action ) in 1966. Early life Schumacher was born in Bonn, Germany in 1911. His father was a professor of political economy. The younger Schumacher studied in Bonn and Berlin, then from 1930 in England as a Rhodes Scholar at New College, Oxford, [ 1 ] and later at Columbia University in New York City, earning a diploma in economics. He then worked in business, farming and journalism. [ 1 ] Economist Protégé of Keynes Schumacher moved back to England before World War II, as he had no intention of living under Nazism.
