Legislative power is held by a bicameral Parliament. The First House (EersteKamer or Senate) consists of75 members, who are appointed for a four-year term by the 12 Provincial Councils. The Second House (TweedeKamer or House of Representatives) has greater legislative power and consists of 150 members elected every four years on the basis of a proportional system. The Head of State is the Monarch (currently the King), whose function is largely ceremonial, though also influential. Executive power is exercised by the Government. Based on parliamentary election results, the Monarch appoints the Prime Minister, who then chooses the members of the Council of Ministers or the Cabinet. The Council of Ministers plans and implements the Government policy. The Ministers, collectively and individually, are responsible to the Parliament.

  • Het Europees Energie College
    Het Europees Energie College Ruud Lubbers: eindelijk een Energie Unie Onrust in het Midden-Oosten Woensdag 3 september 17.15u, Nieuwspoort De strijd tussen Israël en de Palestijnse gebieden is de afgelopen maanden hevig opgelaaid. De Arabische Lente heeft in Tunesië, Egypte en Libië geleid tot het aftreden van leiders. De protesten in andere Arabische landen, zoals Syrië en Irak, duren voort. Welke rol zouden de Europese en nationale politiek moeten innemen? Met de opkomst van ISIS en de conflicten in de Gazastrook wordt deze vraag met de dag relevanter. Moeten we langs de zijlijn blijven staan of is het onze verantwoordelijkheid om in te grijpen in deze conflictgebieden? Een debat met Rena Netjes (journalist en arabist), Han ten Broeke (Tweede Kamerlid VVD) en Paul Aarts (docent Internationale Betrekkingen UvA), onder leiding van Max van Weezel.

Dr. Vīķe-Freiberga and prof. Jonathan Holslag will discuss the role of the European Union on the international stage regarding matters of peace and security. What is the importance and meaning of Europe in the world? How does the current federalisation vs. decentralisation debate influence the security and defence policy of the EU? How should Europe address the international challenges that lie ahead, considering the recent and ongoing power shifts in the global realm? Dr.

Land Smith 2021 MELS ii Abstract Sina Queyras, in the essay “Lyric Conceptualism: A Manifesto in Progress,” describes the Lyric Conceptualist as a poet capable of recognizing the effects of disparate movements and employing a variety of lyric, conceptual, and language poetry techniques to continue to innovate in poetry without dismissing the work of other schools of poetic thought. Queyras sees the lyric conceptualist as an artistic curator who collects, modifies, selects, synthesizes, and adapts, to create verse that is both conceptual and accessible, using relevant materials and techniques from the past and present. This dissertation responds to Queyras’s idea with a collection of original poems in the lyric conceptualist mode, supported by a critical exegesis of that work.

Twitcident has been developed to process and filter this information in real-time for interested parties by monitoring a set of predefined topics, exploiting humans as sensors. An analysis of the relevant information by an operator can result in an estimation of severity, and an operator can act accordingly. However, among all relevant and useful content that is extracted, also a lot of irrelevant noise is present. Our goal is to improve the filter in such a way that the majority of information pre- sented by Twitcident is relevant. To this end we designed an artifact consisting of several components, developed within a dynamic framework.

  • Personalization of Political Newspaper Coverage: a Longitudinal Study in the Dutch Context Since 1950
    Personalization of political newspaper coverage: a longitudinal study in the Dutch context since 1950 Ellis Aizenberg, Wouter van Atteveldt, Chantal van Son, Franz-Xaver Geiger VU University, Amsterdam This study analyses whether personalization in Dutch political newspaper coverage has increased since 1950. In spite of the assumption that personalization increased over time in The Netherlands, earlier studies on this phenomenon in the Dutch context led to a scattered image. Through automatic and manual content analyses and regression analyses this study shows that personalization did increase in The Netherlands during the last century, the changes toward that increase however, occurred earlier on than expected at first. This study also shows that the focus of reporting on politics is increasingly put on the politician as an individual, the coverage in which these politicians are mentioned however became more substantive and politically relevant. Keywords: Personalization, content analysis, political news coverage, individualization, privatization Introduction When personalization occurs a focus is put on politicians and party leaders as individuals. The context of the news coverage in which they are mentioned becomes more private as their love lives, upbringing, hobbies and characteristics of personal nature seem increasingly thoroughly discussed. An article published in 1984 in the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf forms a good example here, where a horse race betting event, which is attended by several ministers accompanied by their wives and girlfriends is carefully discussed1. Nowadays personalization is a much-discussed phenomenon in the field of political communication. It can simply be seen as: ‘a process in which the political weight of the individual actor in the political process increases 1 Ererondje (17 juli 1984).

Internet www.nieuwsmonitor.net Twitter: @Nieuwsmonitor Onderzoekers Joep Schaper Kasper Welbers Maurits Denekamp Kim Janssen Nel Ruigrok 06 27 588 586 [email protected] www.nieuwsmonitor.net I n l e i dDe i n g politicus die het afgelopen jaar het meest in het nieuws is geweest is premier Mark Rutte. Daarom roepen wij hem uit tot ‘Mediapoliticus van het Jaar’. Het zal niet verbazen dat de premier ook het meest het nieuws haalde, maar vorig jaar was dat anders. Destijds won Rutte de verkiezingen, werd hij premier, maar was het toch Geert Wilders die het meest genoemd werd in de media. Dit jaar komt Wilders op de tweede plaats, maar zijn er weer andere verrassingen. Zo haalde Jolande Sap vaker het nieuws dan haar oppositiecollega’s Emile Roemer en Alexander Pechtold, zien we staatssecretaris Halbe Zijlstra vaker terug dan zijn eigen minister Marja van Bijsterveldt en was Ronald Plasterk het meest genoemde ‘normale’ Kamerlid.
