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.
In De ambtenaar in het openbaar bestuur bet...

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...
