The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe by Kimberly Ann Twist a Dissertation Submitted In
The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe by Kimberly Ann Twist A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jonah D. Levy, Chair Professor Jason Wittenberg Professor Jacob Citrin Professor Katerina Linos Spring 2015 The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe Copyright 2015 by Kimberly Ann Twist Abstract The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe by Kimberly Ann Twist Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Jonah D. Levy, Chair As long as far-right parties { known chiefly for their vehement opposition to immigration { have competed in contemporary Western Europe, scholars and observers have been concerned about these parties' implications for liberal democracy. Many originally believed that far- right parties would fade away due to a lack of voter support and their isolation by mainstream parties. Since 1994, however, far-right parties have been included in 17 governing coalitions across Western Europe. What explains the switch from exclusion to inclusion in Europe, and what drives mainstream-right parties' decisions to include or exclude the far right from coalitions today? My argument is centered on the cost of far-right exclusion, in terms of both office and policy goals for the mainstream right. I argue, first, that the major mainstream parties of Western Europe initially maintained the exclusion of the far right because it was relatively costless: They could govern and achieve policy goals without the far right.

Dejima and Huis Ten Bosch Â•ﬁ Two Dutch Cities in Japan
Hausutembosu (Huis ten Bosch) by Bettina Brandt Looking for traces of historical Dutch-Japanese trade relations in the Nagasaki area, Y and I stopped at Huis ten Bosch, a Dutch theme park in Sasebo that doubles as a waterfront resort-cum-residential area, drawing tourists as well as those interested in experiments in urban living. Most of the tourists come from Southeast Asia (Japan, Taiwan, Korea); tourists from other places are few and far between. A local Japanese tycoon envisioned the park in the late eighties, at a time when a number of such ethno-themed parks—known in Japanese as gaikoku mura (foreign villages)—were being built. Period parks like Edo Wonderland in Hokkaido (tagline: “the essence of Japan”) are also popular tema paku destinations in Japan. There, tourists can visit the past and walk around in Edo-period costumes (and dress up like a samurai, wear a ninja costume, or perhaps dress up as a yuujo , 遊女, or “play woman”) for the day. The Japanese theater troupe Lasenkan in Berlin When Huis ten Bosch finally opened its doors to the public in the early 1990s, however, the recession was about to hit, and the park, one of the subsidiaries of the Huis ten Bosch Corporation, has been in receivership twice already. Three times the size of the Mall in Washington D. C., Huis ten Bosch is one of Asia’s largest parks. One could call it a Japanese polder , Dutch for land that was reclaimed and drained. The tourist attraction on the island of Kyushu is named after Paleis Huis ten Bosch, the residence of Queen Beatrix in The Hague, the political capital of the Netherlands.

CODART NEGEN Congress Text 02 Johan Ter Molen
Text of presentation at CODART NEGEN congress, 13 March 2006 Houses of the House of Orange Johan ter Molen, Director, Paleis Het Loo Nationaal Museum, Apeldoorn (Marieke Spliethoff, curator of paintings of Paleis Het Loo, deputized for Johan ter Molen) Many of the important art museums in Europe have grown out of the historic collections assembled by royal and noble families. This is very much the situation we have in the Netherlands. In 1774 Stadholder Willem V was the first prince of Orange to open his art collection to the general public, establishing a gallery in the Buitenhof in The Hague. After the French invasion of 1795 and the expulsion of the stadholder and his family, the bulk of these paintings were transferred to Paris. Then, with the collapse of the Napoleonic Empire, they were returned to Holland in triumph, and added to the Royal Cabinet of Paintings, which soon became known as the Mauritshuis, after the building in which the collection was housed. The minor works from this collection, which had been ignored by the French, originally hung on the walls of the Huis ten Bosch Palace. They were later transferred to Amsterdam where they formed the nucleus of the Rijksmuseum. A few years ago Willem V’s Gallery of 1774, which is the country’s oldest museum, was completely refurbished. Visitors can again have an impression of how the paintings would have been presented to the public in the 18th century. All in all the works that were in the possession of the Orange family during the late 18th century represent just a small proportion of the art that adorned their palaces over the centuries.

Report Name:Dutch Government Increases Agricultural Budget
Voluntary Report – Voluntary - Public Distribution Date: October 13,2020 Report Number: NL2020-0046 Report Name: Dutch Government Increases Agricultural Budget Country: Netherlands Post: The Hague Report Category: Agricultural Situation, Agriculture in the Economy, Agriculture in the News Prepared By: Marjolein Selten Approved By: Christopher Riker Report Highlights: The Dutch government has presented its budget for the next annual budget cycle (which begins on January 1, 2021). In recent years, the Ministry of Agriculture’s budget has increased sharply -- from €0.8 billion in 2018 to more than €2 billion for 2021. The government has identified four key areas in which it wants to invest: 1) structural measures to address nitrogen pollution, 2) a national protein strategy, 3) sustainable European agricultural production, and 4) continued development of a sustainable livestock sector and improved animal welfare. Through these policy goals, the Ministry hopes to provide clarity and perspective to farmers in terms of future policies. Parliamentary discussions on the 2021 budget revealed that not all Ministers of Parliament were in agreement with some of the proposed policies, particularly the proposal to address nitrogen emissions. THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Background On September 15, 2020, the Dutch center-right government, led by Prime Minister Rutte, presented its 2021 budget. Next year’s budget cycle (which begins on January 1, 2021) will be dominated by the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis, as well as by the government’s desire to cut taxes and increase spending.

Stolle Singleton, Jayaraj Sundaresan and Terry Townshend www.lse.ac.uk/GranthamInstitute/legislation/ Climate Change Legislation – Netherlands Netherlands Legislative Process As a constitutional monarchy, the key institutions in the Netherland’s legislative process are the Upper House (Senate) of the Parliament, with 75 members elected by the 12 provinces, and the Lower House (House of Representatives) with 150 directly elected members. Elections for both Houses take place at least every four years. Senate elections last took place in 2011 and the next is planned for 2015. The last election for the House of Representatives was held in 2012 and the next is expected to take place in 2016. Besides the national government, the provinces and 441 municipalities are also major actors, particularly in implementing the outcomes of the legislative process. Legislation can be introduced by one or more members of the government or one or more members of the Lower House. Draft laws (bills) usually originate from recommendations either by a royal commission or a parliamentary committee. Once the preparatory work is completed by one or more ministries, the bill is discussed in the Cabinet. If accepted, it is sent to the Monarch’s secretariat, in their capacity as Head of State. From there the bill is sent to the Council of State (of which the Monarch is the President) for advice.

Het Grote Prinsjesdag College Herman Pleij 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.
