De ambtenaar in het openbaar bestuur / druk 1
de inhoudelijke en juridische herpositionering van ambtenaren vanuit internationaal-vergelijkend perspectief
2012 || Paperback || Frits M. van der Meer e.a. || Leiden University Press
De positie en rol van ambtenaren krijgt in Nederland en in veel andere landen hernieuwde aandacht. Zal de regering de rechtspositie van ambtenaren gelijktrekken met die van werknemers in de private sector zoals gedaan is in Italië, Zweden en Denemarken? Of blijven we juist waarde hechten aan het eigene van het werken voor de overheid? Juist langs die lijn is recentelijk in Groot-Brittannië en andere EU-lidstaten nieuwe wetgeving ingevoerd.

Archaeological studies Leiden University (ASLU) Wild West Frisia
The role of domestic and wild resource exploitation in bronze age subsistence
|| Yvonne van Amerongen || Leiden University Press
This volume focuses on reconstructing the daily lives of Bronze Age farmers as well as the landscape for their subsistence practices. Doing so, Wild West Frisia analyses the separate components comprising Bronze Age subsistence (i.e. crop and animal husbandry, hunting and gathering) rather innovatively: instead of summarizing the known data for each subsistence strategy and drawing conclusions solely based on these observations, this study first determines what may have been present yet perha...

Islam, Humanity and the Indonesian Identity
Reflections on History
2018 || Paperback || Ahmad Syafii Maarif || Leiden University Press
Islam exists in global history with its richly variegated cultural and social realities. When these specific cultural contexts are marginalized, Islam is reduced to an ahistorical religion without the ability to contribute to humanity. This limited understanding of Islam has been a contributing factor in many of the violent conflicts in the present day.
Reflecting on Islam in Indonesia, the world’s third largest democracy, supporting the largest Muslim population, Ahmad Syafii Maarif argues...

Como parte de una arqueología alternativa se plantea la Gran Línea de Vida, que es una línea que habla del tiempo a partir de la vida misma y que: expresa cambios y continuidades, es continua, es decir, no está fragmentada ni termina en 1521, está en movimiento y fluye en dos direcciones. Asimismo, está ocurriend...

Water, Urbanism, and Sustainability in Roman Ostia
2020 || Paperback || Mark A. Locicero || Leiden University Press

Inspired by the diversity of research approaches currently used to assess the sustainability of water in contemporary cities, this study presents the Roman Water Footprint, which diachronically assesses changes to all parts of a hydraulic system (supply, usage, drainage). At the same time, the ...

Staging China
The Politics of Mass Spectacle
2019 || Paperback || Florian Schneider || Leiden University Press
The People’s Republic of China began the 21st century with a new-and-improved public relations approach that was meant to counter anxieties about China’s role in the world while simultaneously showcasing the leadership’s policies to a domestic audience. Crucial to this communication strategy have been networked spectacles: elaborate mass event, designed to reconfigure organisations, ideas, and the relations between people.
In "Staging China", Florian Schneider analyses large-scale projec...
