the free market of development aid
The balance sheet of 50 years of development aidOver the past 50 years the West has invested over 3000 billion euro in development aid and already tackled many problems. Now more and more countries and organisations present themselves on the development aid scene, including China, India, and foundations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Marieta Koopmans Coaching-style leadership
There's no way of avoiding it any more. Coaching has become the management style that is applied in an increasing number of organisations. The aim: to encourage staff to become more autonomous. Many managers find it difficult to take this role upon themselves. They feel that they need to know everything, be able to solve all their staffs problems, and they are accustomed to doing so. They find it a problem to delegate because they then have to let go of control. They are convinced that they should...

Ellen Van Praet The dual voice of power
an ethnographic perspective on meetings
"The Dual Voice of Power discloses the duality of the discourse around meetings, with a proclaimed ideology of shared power, shared knowledge and equal opportunities masking and covering up an authority-based system promoting status differences and inequality. Relying on participant observation, audio recordings and interviews the book uncovers the subtle political and ideological processes that underlie the event of a weekly gathering of Heads of Section at an embassy. The book juxtaposes participants...

Particularly the moral issues surrounding this new medium are marked with high priority on the agenda of academic and political institutions. To date, morality in digital games is being studied in several disciplines, including the humanities, social sciences, psychology, moral philosophy and human-computer studies. Findings remain fragmented and are hardly shared on an interdisciplinary...

Whose weight is it anyway?
essays on ethics and eating
It is a simple truth: nobody can do without food. But to solely describe food as a biological need would be too limited, neglecting the fact that food is a social and cultural practice as well. Despite its appearance, food is not even morally neutral. It is this moral aspect that is being explored in the book. Scholars from various disciplines address the ethical perspective of changing food habits in general, and the promotion of healthy eating in particular. While it is certainly the case that...

Hans L.M. Dassen A new philosophy of man & humanism
basic principles
In the 21st century we need a new philosophy as opposed to the old philosophy: a philosophy of man or philosophical anthropology. The importance of a new philosophy of man is that it addresses people all over the world, thus helping us to overcome our differences. And if we look a bit further into the world of the 21st century, we see that the most pressing project will be the search for meaning in the lives of human beings in a globalised world. Following the complete existential deconstruction...

Grahame Lock Political philosophy
an audio course on Western political theory
This audio course examines the major periods in the history of Western political thought and questions the political and social order. It considers the ways in which thinkers have responded to the particular political problems of their day, and the ways in which they contribute to a broader conversation about human goods and needs, justice, democracy, and the proper relationship of the individual to the state. One aim will be to understand the strengths and weaknesses of various regimes and philosophical...

Martine F. Delfos Are you listening to me?
communicating with children from four to twelve years old
Hardly any literature exists about having conversations with children. Talking to children is a daily activity for almost everyone. For professionals who work with children it is even an essential activity. Nevertheless we learn little about it in college. Besides the attention given to open question-and-answer sessions, communication with children in general is described. It deals with therapeutic assistance for children and conversations in school in particular. In ‘Are you listening to me?’ Martine...
