Juliana of the Netherlands “Princess Juliana” redirects here. For the airport, see Princess Juliana International Airport. Juliana (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌjyliˈjaːnaː]; Juliana Louise Emma Marie Wilhelmina; 30 April 1909 – 20 March 2004) was Queen of the Kingdom of the Netherlands from 1948 until 1980. She reigned for nearly 32 years. Her reign saw the decolonization of both Indonesia (Dutch East Indies) and Suriname from the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Upon her death at the age of 94, she was the longest-lived former reigning monarch in the world. 1 Early life and education Princess Juliana in 1916. Princess Emma and Princess Juliana in 1920.

Building National Museums in Europe 1750-2010. Conference proceedings from EuNaMus, European National Museums: Identity Politics, the Uses of the Past and the European Citizen, Bologna 28-30 April 2011. Peter Aronsson & Gabriella Elgenius (eds) EuNaMus Report No 1. Published by Linköping University Electronic Press: http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_home/index.en.aspx?issue=064 © The Author. National Museums in Luxembourg Felicity Bodenstein Summary In 1913, English travel writer Georges Renwick, described Luxembourg as “a curious experiment in nation-making”, (quoted by Pit, 2010: 1). Indeed, politically and geographically it is an exceptional nation-state: the only remaining sovereign Grand Duchy in Europe, it is also one of its smallest members, with a population of half a million inhabitants making the country, as a whole, less populous than most European capital cities. This small country is host to three languages, French, German and Luxembourgish (officially recognized as a distinct language, not just a German dialect, from 1919 onwards), making it an area of great linguistic cultural diversity. In terms of nation-building it has been influenced both by the French and by the German nation- building process and nationalist thinking. The comparably small size of Luxembourg allows for a relatively easy and precise study of the processes that established this ‘imagined community’, to employ the famous term used by Benedict Anderson. Its desire to identify and yet differentiate itself from the larger countries that surround it has lead Luxembourg to develop a strong sense of European identity as a means of establishing itself as an international player and partner; a strategy that can be observed in the creation of some its most recent national museums.

Frey May 2005 1 KNIGHT FEVER TOWARDS AN ECONOMICS OF AWARDS by Bruno S. Frey! Institute for Empirical Economic Research. University of Zurich and CREMA – Center for Research in Economics, Management and the Arts, Zurich (this version 25 April 2005) Abstract Awards in the form of orders, medals, decorations and titles are ubiquitous in monarchies and republics, private organizations, not-for-profit and profit-oriented firms. Nevertheless, economists have disregarded this kind of non-material extrinsic incentive. The demand for awards relies on an individual’s desire for distinction, and the supply of awards on the provision of incentives. Relative price and income effects are shown to be identifiable and strong. A number of empirically testable propositions are formulated. As awards are (at least so far) impossible to measure adequately, empirical tests are carried out using the technique of analytic narratives. (93 words) Keywords: Incentives, motivation, awards, orders, distinction, principal-agent JEL Classification: D23, D73, J22, J33, L22, Z13 ! Bruno S. Frey is Professor of Economics; [email protected]. Part of this paper was conceived and written while I was a Distinguished Visitor at STICERD, London School of Economics. I am grateful for the support of Susanne Neckermann when writing the paper, and for enlightening discussions with, and helpful comments to earlier version of the paper to Michael Baurmann, Christine Benesch, Matthias Benz, Tim Besley, Geoffrey Brennan, Reiner Eichenberger, Christoph Engel, Nicolai Foss, Dieter Frey, Hartmut Kliemt, Barbara Krug, Lord Richard Layard, Siegwart Lindenberg, Simon Luechinger, Stephan Meier, Margit Osterloh, Friedrich Schneider, Alois Stutzer and Anna Winestein.
