  • Fellowship19 Booklet FINAL LIGHT
    | 0 - In Memoriam - Frieda Menco - Brommet Frieda Menco, a dear friend of Humanity in Action, passed away on Friday February 22. Frieda played a crucial role in the foundation and development of Humanity in Action The Netherlands. Frieda was a Holocaust survivor who insisted that we remember the past to be vigilant in the present. The horrors of her deportation and many years in Auschwitz never left her body or her mind. She grieved for her Jewish community that suffered and lost so much. She participated strongly in its revival and resilience after the war years ever mindful of its stark past. She was a journalist, public speaker, art collector and human rights activist. She was outspoken and strong. Year after year, the Fellows in the Dutch program went to her apartment, filled with beautiful paintings, sculptures, crafts and books, to converse with her about the war years and the challenges of present times. The dialogue was infused with past and present, pain and hope. And through those introductions, she became friends with so many Fellows. Frieda is dearly missed by the Humanity in Action community. The 2019 Amsterdam Fellowship is dedicated to the bravery & memory of Frieda | 1 | 2 Welcome Letter Welcome to the Netherlands! Our joint adventure is about to begin. This program booklet entails all the information you need to embark upon your Fellowship experience. Since 1999, Humanity in Action The Netherlands has proudly collaborated with our colleagues at the Humanity in Action offices in Denmark and the United States, and since the early and mid - 2000s with the offices in Berlin, Paris, Warsaw and Sarajevo.

  • Franklin Roosevelt, the Democratic Party, and the Circular Letter of 1924
    A PARTY IN PERIL: FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT, THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, AND THE CIRCULAR LETTER OF 1924 Joseph D. Faykosh A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2016 Committee: Scott C. Martin, Advisor Ellen Gorsevski Graduate Faculty Representative Michael Brooks Douglas Forsyth Nicole Kalaf-Hughes © 2016 Joseph D. Faykosh All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Scott Martin, Advisor The Democratic Party suffered its worst electoral defeat in 1924, when compromise candidate John Davis survived a brutal convention in New York City only to be soundly defeated by incumbent President Calvin Coolidge. It was a demoralizing defeat for the party, and Franklin D. Roosevelt seized this fraught moment to take the reins as party leader and begin reforming the party to fit his vision. Roosevelt composed a “Circular Letter,” listing five fundamental principles that the Democratic Party should unite behind, and sent it to delegates and party leaders throughout the country. Whether he believed that the responses would simply endorse his suggestions and reorient him as party leader or not, he received a variety of feedback, demonstrating the deep fissures within the Democratic Party and a distinct lack of direction or shared vision. This dissertation focuses on the convergence of two fortunes: the Democratic Party, going through one of its darkest periods, and Franklin Roosevelt, recovering from his tragic illness and trying to reclaim his position in the party. My dissertation provides the most significant examination of the Franklin Roosevelt Circular Letter of 1924. Analyzing the Franklin Roosevelt Circular Letter of 1924 provides an opportunity to understand a party and politician in peril: the Democratic Party at its lowest moment since the Civil War; Franklin Roosevelt at a personal and political crossroads; and how Roosevelt’s Circular Letter and responses provided a way for both the party and his political career to return to prominence.

Beiden zijn middenvelder, maar Taylor is een ander type en bovendien minder ver in zijn ontwikkeling dan Gravenberch. Taylor is vooral een controleur, een passer. Hij kan ook scoren, getuige zijn vier goals voor Jong Ajax dit seizoen, waarvan twee strafschoppen. Bovendien is hij een leiderstype, iemand die graag teamgenoten neerzet en als aanvoerder Europees kampioen werd met Oranje Onder Na twee verloren seizoenen door een knieblessure en een enkelbreuk brak Myron Boadu vorig jaar door als de spits van AZ. Hij scoorde 14 keer in 24 eredivisiewedstrijden. Als invaller tegen Estland maakte hij bovendien zijn Oranjedebuut, met een doelpunt. Tot een vervolg in het Nederlands elftal kwam het nog niet. Als voornaamste slachtoffer van de corona-uitbraak bij AZ moest Boadu dit seizoen pas op de plaats maken. Het moet wel heel raar lopen wil Boadu volgend jaar geen eindtoernooi spelen. Als het niet met het Nederlands elftal is, dan wel met Jong Oranje. Als Joshua Zirkzee enige tijd na zijn overgang van de jeugd van Feyenoord naar Bayern München een illusie armer weer was vertrokken bij de Duitse recordkampioen, had niemand raar opgekeken.

  • By Nathan S. Crapo Thesis A
    A New Model: The Success of the Populist Radical Right in Western Europe An Honors Thesis (HONR 499) By Nathan S. Crapo Thesis Advisor Dr. E. Gene Frankland Ball State University Muncie, Indiana December 2019 Expected Date of Graduation December 2019 Abstract The Populist Radical Right (PRR) is the fastest growing party family in western Europe today. The PRR has seen sustained electoral success in major countries in Europe. The main purpose of this paper is to examine what has made the PRR successful in modern Europe. The Paper takes a supply-side focus on the success of the PRR. This paper will examine the countries of Sweden, France, and Austria and the PRR parties respective to each country to create a new model of success for the PRR in Europe. I found several reasons for failure of the PRR such as poor party organization, and leadership instability. However, I focused on the success of the PRR identifying policy positions, organization elements, and rhetorical reasons for the success of the PRR. The paper argues that while the Front National of France was seen as the “master frame” for the PRR, the Sweden Democrats provide the new model for success for the PRR. Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dr. Gene Frankland for advising me through this project. His guidance and knowledge through this immense project were excellent. Through my years of college Dr. Frankland has been integral for the success I have been able to achieve, and his help through this project capped what he has done for me in the past three years.

  • Anti-Racist Parties and Progressive Politics in the Netherlands
    Anti-Racist Parties and Progressive Politics in the Netherlands Article by Floris Vermeulen, Laure Michon April 23, 2021 In the Netherlands, the growth of parties with platforms built around minority rights, diversity, and anti-racism is linked to the failure of traditional parties to be truly inclusive. To attract more voters with a migration background, parties like GroenLinks not only have to be more responsive to the experiences and wishes of their voters, they also must change their political cultures. “Since 1985, non-Dutch inhabitants who have lived legally in the Netherlands for five years or more have been able to vote in municipal elections. The main argument in favour of granting this group the right to vote was the expectation that it would promote integration. (…) In opposition to this plea for political participation was the fear of the ‘ethnic factor’ in politics. (…) Others feared that granting the right to vote would lead to the founding of an Islamic party and thus to a new – and potentially orthodox – religious movement.” (Tillie, Fennema, and van Heelsum, 2000) These words come from the introduction to The Ethnic Vote, published in 2000 by political scientist Jean Tillie. Tillie is describing the late 1970s political discussion on extending the right to vote. It is strange to read these words again today: Tillie cited the debate to show that the arguments mentioned were still valid in 2000. Now, 20 years further down the road, these words still resonate. The same alleged risks associated with the participation in politics by people with a migration background (defined by the Dutch statistics agency as anyone born abroad or with at least one foreign-born parent) are still being dredged up.
