After the last ‘big bang’ enlargement of the European Union to Central Europe, these countries have become its direct neighbours and their security, stability and prosperity increasingly affect the EU. However, the past decade has shown that the EU foreign policy toward its Eastern neighbours was not always coherent and effective and that the EU has had little, if any, significant impact on those countries’ development. The recent events in Ukraine have brought this issue to the top of the EU’s agenda. With the new leadership team in Brussels and the reorganisation of the European Commission, will the EU be able to make its external action more effective? Will it manage to find a coherent foreign policy approach shared by all Mem- ber States? Will the EU be capable of engaging in a dialogue with Russia, without betraying its values, to support Eastern countries in building their future? 8 WEDNESDAY 5 NOVEMBER 2014 WEDNESDAY 5 NOVEMBER 2014 9 14.30-16.30 THEMATIC GROUP MEETING 14.30-16.30 THEMATIC GROUP MEETING Room 9 Participants from: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Room 5 Participants from: Morocco, Tunisia and guests from the Palais de l’Europe Hungary, Kosovo*, Montenegro, Serbia, “The former Palais de l’Europe Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia” and Turkey “Pluralistic political dialogue in the Maghreb: “Challenges to liberal democracy in Europe” Can it prevail?” Moderator: Jack Hanning, Secretary General of the European Asso- Moderator: Salvatore Saguès, Human Rights Programme Specialist, ciation of Schools of Political Studies of the Council of Europe Peace, Democracy and Human Rights Directorate, OIF Speaker: Hakan Altinay, Director of the European School of Poli- Speaker: Khadija Mohsen-Finan, Associate Researcher at the tics in Istanbul, Senior Fellow at Brookings Institution Institute of International and Strategic Relations (IRIS), Professor at the University Paris I-Panthéon Sorbonne For many years, democracy has been synonymous with liberal democracy, marked not only by free and fair elections, but also by The Arab Spring led to a strengthening of ultra-conservative the rule of law, a separation of powers, and the protection of basic political movements which pose new challenges to those freedoms of speech and association as well as an accessible and countries and to young developing democracies.

  • The EU Lobby of the Dutch Provinces and Their
    The EU lobby of the Dutch provinces and their ‘House of the Dutch Provinces’ regions An analysis on the determinants of the adopted paradiplomacy strategy of Dutch provinces vis-à-vis the national level Diana Sisto (460499) MSc International Public Management and Policy Master thesis First reader: dr. A.T. Zhelyazkova Second reader: dr. K. H. Stapelbroek Word Count: 24951 Date: 25-07-2018 Summary This thesis contains a case study on the determinants that influence the paradiplomacy strategy that Dutch provinces adopt vis-à-vis their member state, when representing their European interest. Because of the growing regional involvement in International Affairs, the traditional relationship between the sub-national authorities and their member states has been challenged. Both the sub- national and national level have been transitioning into a new role. This thesis aimed to contribute to the literature on determinants of paradiplomacy strategies (cooperative, conflicting and non-interaction paradiplomacy) that sub-national actors can adopt vis-à-vis their member state. The goal of the research is twofold: a) to gain insights in the reason why Dutch regions choose to either cooperative, conflicting or non-interaction paradiplomacy in representing their EU interests vis-à-vis the national level and b) to determine which strategies are most used and why. Corresponding to this goal the main research question is “Which determinants influence the paradiplomacy strategy that Dutch provinces adopt vis- à-vis their member state, when representing their European interests?” To answer the research question a qualitative in depth case study has been performed on two cases consisting of two House of the Dutch provinces regions and their respective provinces.

  • Toelichting Beleid Kleine Marterachtigen (2 Juni 2021)
    Toelichting beleid kleine marterachtigen (2 juni 2021) Inleiding Het gaat slecht met wezel, hermelijn en bunzing (de kleine marterachtigen) in Nederland en Flevoland. Gedeputeerde Staten hebben besloten de bescherming te verbeteren door deze soorten niet langer vrij te stellen van de verbodsbepalingen van de Wet natuurbescherming bij ruimtelijke ingrepen. Voortaan zal bij een ruimtelijke ingreep ontheffing nodig zijn indien verblijfplaatsen worden verstoord of aangetast. Het gaat om bijzonder lastig te onderzoeken soorten, Flevoland kiest daarom voor een pragmatische aanpak. In deze toelichting geven we aan welke mogelijkheden de initiatiefnemer heeft en welke randvoorwaarden hier bij horen. Staat van instandhouding Het gaat om bijzonder lastig te inventariseren soorten waar weinig onderzoek naar wordt uitgevoerd. De waarnemingen die bekend zijn, zijn vaak gebaseerd op gevonden verkeersslachtoffers, waarnemingen vanuit broedvogelmonitoring en waarnemers in natuurgebieden. Er is dan ook geen compleet beeld van de verspreiding van wezel, hermelijn en bunzing in Flevoland. Wezel Uit de NDFF en de Atlas van de Nederlandse Zoogdieren blijkt dat de wezel verspreid voorkomt over de provincie en in mindere mate in Oost Flevoland en de Noordoostpolder. Er zijn wat meer waarnemingen gemeld bij toegangen tot natuurgebieden zoals o.a. het Praamweggebied. Van de afgelopen 5 jaar zijn er circa 100 meldingen bekend in Flevoland, het aantal waarnemingen en km-hokken neemt af vooral in Oost Flevoland en Noordoostpolder. Hermelijn Uit de NDFF en de Atlas van de Nederlandse Zoogdieren blijkt dat de hermelijn een minder goede verspreiding heeft dan de wezel. Hij komt vooral voor in Zuid Flevoland en op de grens van de Noordoostpolder met Overijssel, hij lijkt nauwelijks voor te komen in Oost Flevoland en de Noordoostpolder.

  • Visit Flevoland
    FLEVOLAND OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT ONLY 20 MINUTES FROM AMSTERDAM THE PERFECT DESTINATION FOR AN EASY DAY TRIP OR A SHORT BREAK FOUR METRES BELOW SEA LEVEL FLEVOLAND OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT 2 Quite an accomplishment, building an entire province from scratch. Still, that’s exactly how Flevoland came into being: manmade land, a good four metres below sea level and secured by miles of dykes. But then Flevoland is never really finished. Probably something to do with that twentieth-century soil under our feet we reckon; it seems to exert an effect on people. Nowhere else offers more space for innovative ideas than right here. As all Flevolanders are well aware: the sky is the limit. JUST DO IT Taken together, Flevoland’s three polders form the largest piece of manmade land on the planet. The islands which already existed in the Zuiderzee (Schokland and Urk) were marooned in the new land when the sea was drained. Things happen here like nowhere else. How about an open air three kilometres long artificial ice-skating track? Need a wind break... we simply put up wind turbines. And if a dyke needs to be rebuilt, we go for it in an entirely new way. 3 DESIGNED LAND, WILD LAND Everything you see was created on the drawing board. The orderly parcels of agricultural land. The straight roads. The canals. And of course: the spaces dedicated to nature. These designated areas of natural beauty have continued to develop to become fasci- nating wild polder landscapes. A good example is the extensive wetland area in the Nieuw Land National Park, another is the Netherlands’ largest continuous deciduous woods.

  • Smart Mobility English
    The dream: you are driven Smart Mobility Flevoland LELYSTAD The goal: In 2030, Flevoland is the first Dutch province with self-driving vehicles.This system supplements regional public transportation with a special network of driving lanes, and is ready to be expanded into neighbouring regions. Flevoland owes this head-start thanks to the province’s largely straight roads, which makes it an ideal “living lab” for self- driving cars. The driverless shuttles were first used on the robot lane between Lelystad’s international airport and Lelystad Central train station. Shortly thereafter, consumers followed with their own electric self-driving cars: safe, efficient and green, in many cases running on self-generated electricity. Smart Mobility enhances accessibility, safety and quality of life in the Netherlands. It is vital that we make the most out of the opportunities that new information and communication technologies offer us. Smart Mobility has an impact on virtually all forms of transportation, and this in turn has its effect on society and the economy. Take, for example, the self-driving car, a technological advancement that will have a major impact on society. With Smart Mobility, the Province of Flevoland is focusing on the unique opportunities for the province: • The development opportunities centred around Lelystad Airport • A young, enterprising population with a drive to innovate • The comparatively less complex road infrastructure, ideal for testing new technologies Smart mobility solutions can be an important part of keeping the province’s rural areas accessible. Flevoland sees opportunities to profile itself in the following eight areas together with the market and various public and private partners.

  • Highest Economic Growth Rates in Flevoland and Haarlemmermeer
    Statistics Netherlands Press release PB05-117 The figures in the table for 2002 have been adjusted. 12 October 2005 9:30 AM Highest economic growth rates in Flevoland and Haarlemmermeer According to the latest figures by Statistics Netherlands, the economic growth rate in the Dutch province Flevoland in 2004 was substantially higher than the economic growth rate in the rest of the country. The growth rate of Haarlemmermeer was the highest of the lower regional levels. While the Dutch economic growth rate averaged 1.7 percent, the economic growth rate of Flevoland reached 3.4 percent. Groningen had an even higher growth rate (3.8 percent) but this was due to the extraction of gas in the province. North Holland’s growth rate was slightly above average. Haarlemmermeer, the region in the province of North Holland that includes Amsterdam’s international airport Schiphol, peaked with a 4.3 percent growth rate. The lowest growth rate of 0.1 percent was found in Zeeland. Broad-based economic growth rates of Flevoland and Haarlemmermeer Various branches of industry contributed to the increased economic growth rate in the province Flevoland. The same is true for the Haarlemmermeer, where aviation is strongly represented. Almost a third of the total value added in the Haarlemmermeer originated with this branch of industry. Aviation was flourishing in 2004, but also wholesale and retail trade and business services performed above average in the region. Flevoland and Haarlemmermeer together contribute about 4 percent to the national economy. The low economic growth rate in Zeeland of 0.1 percent is mainly due to the lacklustre performance of several major industries.

  • Geographical Representation Under Proportional
    CSD Center for the Study of Democracy An Organized Research Unit University of California, Irvine www.democ.uci.edu It is frequently assumed that proportional representation electoral systems do not provide geographical representation. For example, if we consider the literature on electoral reform, advocates of retaining single-member district plurality elections often cite the failure of proportional representation to give voters local representation (Norton, 1997; Hain, 1983; see Farrell, 2001). Even advocates of proportional representation often recognize the lack of district representation as a failure that has to be addressed by modifying their proposals (McLean, 1991; Dummett, 1997).1 However, there has been little empirical research into whether proportional representation elections produce results that are geographically representative. This paper considers geographical representation in two of the most “extreme” cases of proportional representation, Israel and the Netherlands. These countries have proportional representation with a single national constituency, and thus lack institutional features that force geographical representation. They are thus limiting cases, providing evidence of the type of geographical patterns we are likely to see when there are no institutions that enforce specific geographical patterns. We find that the legislatures of Israel and the Netherlands are surprisingly representative geographically, although not perfectly so. Furthermore, we find an interesting pattern. While the main metropolitan areas

  • Dwindling Economy in Four Provinces 9:30 AM Nationwide, the Economy Grew by 0.2 Percent in 2002
    Statistics Netherlands Press release PB03-138 22 July 2003 Dwindling economy in four provinces 9:30 AM Nationwide, the economy grew by 0.2 percent in 2002. This modest growth rate was not evenly spread across the twelve provinces. Groningen (2.1 percent) and Flevoland (2.4 percent) were well above average. The economy was dwindling in four provinces, namely Friesland, Drenthe, Noord-Brabant and Limburg, as figures by Statistics Netherlands show. In the period 1995-2001, the economic growth rate in the provinces of Utrecht, Flevoland, Noord-Holland and Noord-Brabant was still above average; in 2002, however, Noord-Holland and Noord-Brabant fell by the wayside. Declining industry mainly affects regions outside the Randstad With the exception of Groningen, industry declined in all provinces in 2002. The positive development in this province is mainly caused by the extraction of natural gas, whereas the extraction of natural gas had a negative impact on the economic growth in the provinces of Friesland and Drenthe. Much industrial activity is typical of all provinces where the economy shrank in 2002. All these provinces are outside the Randstad. For the Netherlands as a whole, the industry contributed almost 26 percent to the total value added in 2001. The provinces of Friesland, Drenthe, Noord-Brabant and Limburg, where the economy was in decline in 2002, have more industry (30 to 32 percent) than the Netherlands on average. Growth commercial services stalls in virtually all provinces The national and regional development is strongly affected by the commercial services sector (nationwide 48 percent, in the Randstad well over 50 percent).

  • Causes of Regional Variation in Dutch Healthcare Expenditures: Evidence from Movers
    CPB Discussion Paper | 384 Causes of regional variation in Dutch healthcare expenditures: Evidence from movers Ana Moura Martin Salm Rudy Douven Minke Remmerswaal Causes of regional variation in Dutch healthcare expenditures: evidence from moversI Ana Mouraa,b, Martin Salma,1, Rudy Douvenb,c, Minke Remmerswaalb,a aTilburg University bCPB, Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis cEUR, Erasmus University Rotterdam Abstract We assess the relative importance of demand and supply factors as determinants of regional variation in healthcare expenditures in the Netherlands. Our empirical approach follows individuals who migrate between regions. We use individual data on annual healthcare expenditures for the entire Dutch population between the years 2006 and 2013. Regional variation in healthcare expenditures is mostly driven by demand factors, with an estimated share of around 70%. Both demographics and other unobserved demand factors, e.g. patient preferences, are important components of the demand share. The relative importance of different causes varies with the groups of regions being compared.

The year started with a fairly general fascination for water in the broadest way. With the Dutch culture of waterbuilders, the present day pragmatic reality and the uncertain future climate change in mind I started a quest in the world of water. Along this journey I found stepping stones in the form of interesting people at Urbanism, then in Civil Engineering and later on at Dura Vermeer. Circumstances at the Faculty of Architecture enabled me to choose and follow this path in my own way, which was a very learning experience. This brought me to my main mentor Fransje who helped me consistently throughout the year with defining the project and staying focused and introducing me to Harry de Brauw and Dura Vermeer.
