E-book Pathways in Decentralised Collective Bargaining in Europe

One of the main trends in labour relations across Europe – started already in the 1980s – is “decentralisation” in collective bargaining at the company level. This involves a shift from multi-employer bargaining to single-employer bargaining with trade unions or other workers representatives (Marginson, 2015; oecd, 2018; Traxler, 1995; Visser, 2016). This development continued in the la…

E-book Manual for Arabica Cultivation

Coffee was declared the national drink of the then colonized United States by the Continental Congress, in protest of the excessive tax on tea levied by the British crown. Today, coffee is a global industry employing more than 20 million people. It ranks second to petroleum in terms of worldwide trade.

E-book Revolutionary Worlds : Local Perspectives and Dynamics during the Indo…

cursory glance at Dutch historiography as it stands today proves this point. Most recently, scholars have homed in on the particularly violent nature of decolonization and its so-called ‘extreme’ properties. On the one hand, this has been occasioned by the demands put forth by survivors and their relatives that former colonial empires reco…

E-book E-book The Monastery Rules : Buddhist Monastic Organization in Pre-Mod…

Monasteries traditionally played a large role in the lives of ordinary people in Tibet. To date, however, relatively little is known about the role of these monasteries and their inhabitants in Tibetan society. Still, the impact of monastic Buddhism on other expressions of Buddhism as well as on a wide range of aspects of Tibetan culture has been tremendous. By contrast, whereas Christian monas…

E-book Responsible Use of AI in Military Systems

E-Book Reflections on the Russia-Ukraine War

The Russia-Ukraine war is a multifaceted beast. It ranges from fighting on the ground to high diplomacy, from domestic anti-war protests to international weapon supplies, from justification through sham referenda to coercion via economic sabotage, and from operational misdirection to covering up war crimes. There are close connections between these facets: the collapse of a front leads to the d…

E-Book What Was Artificial Intelligence?

When it was originally published in 2002, Sue Curry Jansen’s “What Was Artificial Intelligence?” attracted little notice. The long essay was published as a chapter in Jansen’s Critical Communication Theory, a book whose wisdom and erudition failed to register across the many fields it addressed. One explanation for the neglect, ironic and telling, is that Jansen’s sheer scope as an in…

E-book Time and the Ancestors : Aztec and Mixtec Ritual Art

The title of our book pays homage to a classic anthropological monograph: Time and the Other by Johannes Fabian (1983). That critical work – unfortunately lit-tle used in studies of the ancient or indigenous Americas – examined the way in which the dominant party in an intercultural encounter tends to situate (to construct and to interpret) ‘the Other’, i.e. colonised or otherwise margi…

E-book Trade and Employment : From Myths to Facts

Those numbers, however, do not indicate that interviewees have an entirely negative perception of globalization. Indeed, evidence based on surveys that make a distinction between growth and employment impacts of globalization reveals that a majority of respondents in industrialized countries believes in the positive growth effects of globalization that are so often emphasized in the public deba…
