They gave their best welcome to my proposal. I received all the ne- cessary logistics and economic support to move through each of the required stages, including the financing and publishing of this book. It was, as always, a real pleasure to collaborate and learn with them. They opened doors to me without raising objections and made me feel at home. Organizations are made up of people. In this case it was Heleen Schrooyen, Senior Programme Manager for NIMD in Latin America, whom I asked for help to carry out this project. I owe her its fulfillment. She listened to me the way she always does, she gave me her confidence and great freedom to work. She willingly joined me on this journey with contagious enthusiasm. She embraced my idea and made it her own. We enjoyed sharing our thoughts as we went through this wonderful experience, which involved carrying out in- terviews in her home in the Netherlands.

  • Political Risk Alert (30 Oct. 2019)
    Political Risk Alert (30 Oct. 2019) Argentina: Election outcome means early start on debt challenge Event: Alberto Fernandez achieved a comfortable first-round victory over incumbent President Mauricio Macri on October 27. Significance: Avoiding the need for a second round should help to speed up efforts to tackle the economic crisis and bring forward the start of debt renegotiations with creditors. Fernandez’s economic transition team is closer to him than to his vice-president-elect, former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (CFK). However, the extent to which the populist-leaning CFK will dominate the new administration is a major concern for investors, as is the outlook for talks with the IMF. Meanwhile, the political alliance that backed Macri’s pro-business stance looks close to disintegrating. Analysis: Fernandez won a clear margin of 48% to 40%, although this was smaller than suggested by recent polling. However, the fact that Macri improved his performance by some 8 percentage points is due to the votes he won from smaller parties' candidates, increasing polarisation between his allies and those of Fernandez. Generally regarded as far more moderate than CFK, Fernandez will find himself limited in his policy choices by both economic constraints and demands of more radical Kirchnerist groups such as the youth movement La Campora. Given his own lack of an independent support base, those groups will not hesitate to emphasise that his election victory was due to Kirchnerist backing. This shift in post-election emphasis towards CFK has already begun. After first ceding the presidential candidacy and then maintaining a low profile during the campaign in a bid to downplay the controversies that surround her, CFK was very much centre stage on election night, and the Frente de Todos celebrations were dominated by images of CFK and her late husband, former President Nestor Kirchner.

Van 1948 tot en met 1950 volgde ik op het Yale College in New Haven, Connecticut, de studie Political Science and International Relations. Inmiddels 25 jaar geworden twijfelde ik steeds meer aan een leven als ambtenaar van het Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken.

    GENERAL ELECTIONS IN NETHERLANDS 12th September 2012 European Elections monitor Victory for the pro-European parties in the General Elections in the Netherlands Corinne Deloy Translated by helen Levy The People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), the liberal party led by outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte came first in the general elections on 12th September in the Netherlands. The party won 26.5% of the vote, the highest score in its history and won 41 seats (+10 than in the previous elections that took place on 9th June 2010). “It is an Results exceptional victory because he is the leader of the biggest party in office. There are many European countries in which the leaders lost the elections as this crisis rages,” analyses Andre Krouwel, a political expert at the Free University of Amsterdam. The liberals took a slight lead over the Labour Party (PvdA) led by Diederik Samsom, which won 24.7% of the vote and 39 seats (+9). At first the electoral campaign, which focused on the crisis, turned to the advantage of the most radical opposition forces, and those most hostile to the European Union (Socialist Party and the Freedom Party). Over the last few days however the situation developed further and the pro-European forces recovered ground. Together the Liberals and Labour rallied 80 seats, i.e. an absolute majority in the States General, the lower chamber in the Dutch Parliament. The populist parties suffered a clear rebuttal. On Turnout was slightly less than that recorded in the the right the Freedom Party (PVV) won 10.1% of last general elections on 9th June 2010 the vote, taking 15 seats (-9).

LADB Article Id: 79218 ISSN: 1060-4189 Argentina Devalues Currency; Braces for Opposition Attacks by Andrés Gaudín Category/Department: Argentina Published: 2014-02-14 Following Argentine legislative elections that narrowed the gap between the opposition and the ruling party, power groups and major media have pushed President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (CFK) to devalue the country’s currency. Though opposition parties gained ground, they did not win the election. The government had held that its efforts to maintain monetary stability was a major achievement allowing it to enrich foreign-exchange reserves and develop social policy. However, on Jan. 24, persistent market movement culminated with the end of monetary stability, one of the pillars of the Kirchner administrations that began in 2003 with the late President Néstor Kirchner (2003-2007) and continued under his wife who was elected following his death in 2007. The same day as the devaluation, economist Raúl Dellatorre said, "The government had to face a most difficult economic decision, one it had always rejected because of predictable regressive consequences.

    Lobbyen Rutte-kabinetten in Brussel voor burgers, of voor belangen? Door Gastauteur - 1 september 2021 Geplaatst in Boeken - Europese Unie Op 8 september verschijnt het boek ‘Sluiproute Brussel’. Journaliste Lise Witteman beschrijft hoe de Rutte-kabinetten in de Europese achterkamers ijveren voor bedrijven en brancheorganisaties. In Wynia’s Week een voorpublicatie. Hoe Nederland lobbyde voor biometrische paspoorten en Frans Timmermans dreigde lakei van het bedrijfsleven te worden. door Lise Witteman Partijvoorzitter Ivo Opstelten mocht in 2008 dan een marketingbureau in de arm hebben genomen om uit te vogelen wat de VVD-prioriteiten zijn, in feite droeg Ruttes oude rivaal Rita Verdonk ze toen al jaren uit, vanuit de grond van haar hart. ‘IJzeren Rita’ stond pal voor een streng migratiebeleid en voor compromisloze handhaving. Als minister van Vreemdelingenzaken en Integratie tijdens het kabinet-Balkenende II van CDA, VVD en D66 (2003-2006) zette de populaire VVD’er niet alleen in eigen land, maar ook in Europees verband in op een hard-rechts beleid. In Brussel wedijverde ze voor strengere migratiemaatregelen en uitbreiding van handhavings- en opsporingsbevoegdheden voor politie en justitie. Daarmee vergaarde ze in korte tijd zowel een grote schare fans als hartstochtelijke tegenstanders. Het geweten van Verdonk GroenLinks-Europarlementariër Kathalijne Buitenweg behoorde van meet af aan tot die laatste groep.

Volgens haar werd Nederland dankzij Verdonk Europees koploper in inhumaan asielbeleid. ‘Zelfs Berlusconi, die vele tienduizenden liet lijden, heeft een zuiverder geweten dan Rita Verdonk,’ zo liet ze zich in 2004 uit tegenover dagblad Trouw.

    Chapter 36 Netherlands: The Pedophile Kingdom and Sodom and Gomorrah of the Modern World Joachim Hagopian Cover Credit: Nora Maccoby with permission http://www.noramaccoby.com/ The lineage of former Holy Roman and French nobility comprises today’s House of Orange-Nassau ruling over the constitutional monarchy of the Netherlands. The Dutch royalty owns major multinational corporations such as Royal Dutch Shell, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Philips Electronics and Holland-America Line.1 The royal family has evolved its interests as a high-level authority currently operating as a branch of the Vatican’s Roman empire, wielding considerable influence over such powerful entities as the Rand Corporation, Koch Industries, Princeton University (founded in honor of the House of Orange), some of the world’s largest banks including AMRO and investment firms like BlackRock,2 the largest financial asset management institution on the planet, worth an estimated $7.4 trillion in client assets.3 Coincided by design with the planned Corona scamdemic, this year BlackRock’s been busily bailing out the US Federal Reserve, buying billions worth of bonds to keep the house of cards economy from imploding, in one fell swoop in April seizing control over the US Treasury and Federal Reserve.4 This private, unelected monolith has monopoly control now over the entire US economy as the centralized economic chokehold over the global masses prepares to tighten its death grip noose over humanity.5 As the long planned implosion of the world economy goes up in smoke, by engineered design, this latest power grab amidst the so called pandemic crisis is all about consolidation of power and control into fewer and fewer hands, lending new meaning to the thoroughly bankrupted USA Corporation owned and operated by the financial juggernaut of “the Crown.”6 The stakes have never been higher in 2020.

  • Who Revived the Basic Income Debate? Investigating the Role of Social Media in the Political Agenda-Setting Process
    Who revived the basic income debate? Investigating the role of social media in the political agenda-setting process Naam: Erwin Gielens ANR: 853440 Collegejaar: 2017-2018 Research master social and behavioral sciences Sociology track Begeleider: dr. F. Roosma 1 Abstract This study addresses the lack of scholarly attention for the role of social media in the political agenda- setting process. It is expected that social media help draw attention of politicians by making some issues more visible and increasing their urgency. Taking the basic income debate on Twitter as a case study, I find that high public attention coincides with high political attention, although debate integration and leadership do not meaningfully predict these spikes in attention. The content of conversations reveals that politicians engage in discussion because Twitter cues the public relevance of particular issue, facilitates the diffusion of information and lowers barriers to participation in public debate. Politicians that support the issue are more likely to respond to public attention, while opposing politicians tend to refrain from engagement until impending political consequences make the issue urgent. The overall implication is that social media can modulate the impact of traditional media coverage on political agendas. Acknowledgements This thesis would not have seen the light of day without the invaluable help of many friends, family and colleagues. First and foremost, my gratitude goes out to dr. Femke Roosma and prof. dr. Peter Achterberg, my supervisors who helped to assemble, develop and finetune the idea that finally made its way to print. Their supervision struck me as a good cop – bad cop experience, marked by the encouraging words of dr.
