Een strategisch kompas voor duurzame beheersing van klimaatvraagstukken
Authors: van Rijswick Marleen , Salet Willem

A strategic compass for a sustainable approach of climate challenges
Climate change forces to a fundamental reconsideration of our strategic policy, and especially of the relationship between policy and law. With regard to political urgent topics, a tendency towards policy instrumentalism always lies in wait. In the current policy practice this problem manifests itself in the application of law (in many detailed norm prescriptions) and – curiously – also in its policy counterpart: the search towards informal but even goal specific policy processes.
The authors plead for dealing with spatial climate challenges by creating room for a strategic policy perspective and a sustainable approach of the relation between law and policy. A qualitative approach of policy and law necessitates an innovative juridical transformation: the use of general normative rules which give direction to flexible policy processes in multiple, specific policy situations.
Vergeet niet hoe activistisch bestuur met identiteit omgaat bij bestuurlijke herindeling

Don’t forget how activistic public authorities deal with identity during administrative rearrangement
Regional or local identities are an important factor to take into account in administrative rearrangement processes, as Evert Meijers rightly argues. But if one does so, it’s very important to analyse how public authorities deal with such identities and identifications. In The Netherlands many instances can be found were at least one public authority becomes activistic and tries to mobilize the public against rearrangement plans. This very often happens throughout processes of municipal amalgamation. Activistic public authorities can bring historically formed and often still cultivated local identities into play as being threatened by the plans. By doing so, citizens can identify with the ‘we’ of the local community against ‘them’ of another community. Another antithesis can develop in how the plans are being framed: ‘we’ who will suffer because of ‘their’ bad plans. Finally, the political performance of proponents may be critiqued, thus evoking identifications with ‘we’ who are treated undemocratically against ‘them’ who are unreliable. This appeal to identities and identifications by activistic public authorities provides powerful impediments for successful administrative rearrangement. Prevention of such activism thus seems to be a very important requirement.
Verantwoordelijke vrijheid: responsabilisering van burgers op voorwaarden van de staat

Responsible freedom: responsabilisation of citizens on conditions of the state
Behind many notions of ‘governance’, there lies the image of a ‘modest’ or ‘retreating’ state. The assumption is that local and national authorities can only perform effectively if in cooperation with other public and private actors. Generally, it is said, governments increasingly lack the legitimacy for top-down interventions and hence the need of including participative citizen involvement in policy making and implementation. In recent years this democratic image has been disputed in scientific debates because of its lack of attention for new forms of interventionism by the state in societal processes, e.g. crime, youth care, immigration and integration. In this article, we aim to contribute to this other understanding of modern governance by analysing Dutch political discourse between 2001 and 2010 on (implicit) notions of the role and responsibility of the state. We show how the idea of ‘responsibilisation’ of citizens is turned into an argument for more instead of less state involvement in societal processes and citizens’ lives. By emphasizing ‘shared responsibilities’ between government and society, a tricky picture of parity is sketched of this relation. Dutch government presents itself as ‘an ally’ of citizens in fighting pressing social problems, but in the meantime an ideal of ‘responsible behaviour’ is constructed, namely, citizen behaviour in concordance with government’s policy ambitions. Within this political discourse, the socio-liberal idea of ‘responsibility’ turns into ‘responsibilisation on government’s terms’ and ‘irresponsible’ behaviour becomes a legitimate focal point for deep state interventions through techniques of governance.

Fussy voters: A panel study into the volatility of party preferences
The Dutch electorate is the most volatile of Western Europe. At its height in 2002 more than 30 percent of the seats in the Dutch Lower House changed to another party. But what does the increased electoral volatility mean? Are volatile voters whimsical, behaving randomly like drift-sand? Or are volatile voters emancipated, no longer committed to a single political party but still loyal to their own preferences?We answer these questions by analysing the 1VOP panel data set, which covers 55.847 adult respondents who participated in at least 2 of the 58 waves between November 2006 and June 2010.First, we assess the presence, frequency, and direction of changes in voters’ party preferences. More than half of the respondents (52 percent) changed party preference at least once. However, they mostly stick to one of two ideologically coherent party blocks.Second, we explain why some voters are more likely to change party preference than others. Especially middle groups are volatile: people with modal income and average levels of education, and people who position themselves in the political center. However, the lower educated are more likely to switch between dissimilar parties. These findings support the view that increased volatility reflects voter emancipation.

The rebirth of fact-free politics. Pim Fortuyn and the new counterculture (2002-2012)
In this paper we analyze Fortuyn’s political inheritance in the Netherlands. Going beyond the mere electoral popularity of his neo-rightist successors, we analyze the changing political culture since Fortuyn entered the political stage. More specifically we show that his ideological beliefs – Fortuyn voiced an unprecedented combination of liberal views towards homosexuals and gender equality with critical views pertaining to immigration, and he was critical of political and administrative elites – caught on in current Dutch politics. Moreover, his highly personal communicative style, placing him outside the inner circle of Dutch politics underscoring his adversity to these political elites, also caught on in mainstream political campaigning. This new personal style, however, did not mean a demise of ideology. On the contrary, Fortuyn actively tried to appeal to the electorate with ideals and ideology – hence marking the rebirth of the so-called ‘fact-free politics’ after the de-ideologized purple governments in the Netherlands. Since Fortuyn, mainly parties on the right side of the political spectrum have followed this path of re-ideologization. The paper ends with a comparison of the counterculture originating in the 1960s and post-Fortuyn right-wing politics, which surprisingly shows great continuity. We therefore argue that we are currently witnessing a veritable counterculture 2.0.

Navigating among multiple interestsDe facto autonomy and financial supervision
De facto autonomy, the actual potential of regulatory agencies to go about their daily work, is often conceived to be more important to explain regulatory capacity than its formal autonomy and responsibilities. In this article we investigate whether external context factors, such as the financial and economic crisis have an impact on de facto autonomy. More specifically, we investigate whether the de facto autonomy varies after the crisis and distinctively so for specific subsets of employees within regulatory agencies. According to literature, mid-level managers of agencies are key to de facto autonomy and building a secure reputation for the agency in question. We test these external and internal effects on de facto autonomy with a survey among employees of the Dutch Financial Market Authority (N = 248). The findings show that the perceived influence of stakeholders is relatively constant, but that it is more dynamic for European stakeholders. Both middle managers and employees working at strategic and policy departments of the agency conceive the impact of European stakeholders as increasing in nature. The findings have important implications for our studies of de facto autonomy of regulatory agencies as well as reform potential after major institutional crises.

Moving the public sector: An international comparison of the roots of, perspectives on, and approaches to mobilizing public sector organizations
In this article we aim to provide an insight in one of the specifics of the dynamic relationship between government and society; the delegation of public tasks to (civil) society. The concept ‘Big Society’ in the United Kingdom generated immense expectations in this respect. By making use of an explorative case study, we examine the origins, visions and best practices in successively the UK, Australia and Scandinavia in order to generate a better understanding of this dynamical relationship. The major insights following from this analysis relate to the economic and cultural background, the political reality and rhetoric, as well as to concrete practices to understand what civil society has to offer in the delegation of public tasks. Finally, as a first step towards theory development, we formulate five concrete lessons for the delegation of public tasks to the civil society.
Dall’Alighieri al Rossetti: la passione e la penitenza, la donna preraffaellita tra Inferno e Purgatorio
Authors: O'Grady Deirdre 
Published: January 2025

Questo articolo ha lo scopo di mettere in evidenza l'interpretazione artistica, la ricreazione, e la trasformazione di due personaggi femminili de La Divina Commedia di Dante Alighieri. Francesca da Rimini (Inferno V) e Pia dei Tolomei (Purgatorio V) sono analizzate in uno studio comparatistico e interdisciplinare. Sono considerati criticamente i testi originali di Dante e la loro rinascita pittorica in acquerello e olio su tela nella Londra vittoriana. Il loro ruolo centrale nello sviluppo della carriera artistica di Dante Gabriel Rossetti e nella sua vita personale va considerato riguardo le sue due muse piu' importanti: Elizabeth Siddal Rossetti (1829-1862), la modella per Francescae Jane Burden Morris (1839-1914), la modella per La Pia. Dopo l'esecuzione del raffinato medievalismo romantico del trittico dedicato a Paolo e Francesca (1855), Rossetti nella Pia de'Tolomei tramite la ritrattistica crea una nuova, e di tutta originale donna preraffaellita. Di proporzioni piu' grandi e di disposizione sensuale e provocante, e' in contrasto con lo spirito dantesco. Contempla, posizionata fra il mondo medievale e quello moderno.. La purezza poetica dantesca arriva alla sua destinazione rossettiana: il simbolismo decadente.

Published: January 2025

Introduction: This study sought to explore the effect of cross-cultural leadership models on community health quality of life indicators. Increasing diversity in communities and a demand for leaders in healthcare to be culturally competent have aroused interest in researching the relationship between cultural leadership models and health outcomes in communities. Methods: A thorough literature review was performed to find previous research on cross- cultural leadership and community health QOL metrics. A search of peer–reviewed literature from 2000 to 2020 focusing on leadership approaches in various cultural contexts.Results: Cross-cultural leadership approaches appear to have a major effect on community health quality of life indicators. These forms of leadership can facilitate a unique approach to understanding various cultures, communicating and collaborating with communities. This ultimately improves more culturally appropriate health care services and more effective health outcomes in the community.Conclusions: Such an approach is likely to be more effective in improving community health quality of life metrics when based upon cross cultural leadership approaches. Cross-cultural leadership competencies are needed to be developed by leaders in healthcare organizations. This will allow for a more responsive and culturally competent healthcare system that ultimately improves community health status and quality of life. More research is needed to determine the mechanisms by which cross-cultural leadership strategies impact community health quality of life indicators.

Yerel yönetimler, bir yerleşim yerinde yaşayan halkın yerel ve ortak nitelikte olan ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak üzere kurulan, karar organları seçimle belirlenen, idarî ve malî özerkliği olan kamu tüzel kişileridir. Türkiye’de “belediye, il özel idaresi ve köy” olmak üzere üç temel yerel yönetim birimi bulunmaktadır. Bu yapı içerisinde başat konumda olan belediyeler, “büyükşehir belediyeleri” ile “büyükşehir dışındaki belediyeler” şeklinde ikiye ayrılmaktadır.
Vatandaşların gündelik hayatına etki eden pek çok kamu hizmeti belediyeler tarafından sunulmaktadır. Bu noktada belediyeler tarafından sunulan kamu hizmetlerinin etkinliği, verimliliği ve kalitesi önem kazanmakta, bu konuda sağlanacak başarı ise büyük ölçüde nitelikli yönetici ve personele bağlı olmaktadır. Bu durum belediye personeli ve belediye personel sistemi konusunun önemini arttırmaktadır.
Bu çalışmada, belediye personel sisteminin sorunları üzerinde durulmakta ve çözüm önerileri üretilmeye çalışılmaktadır. Bu kapsamda ilk olarak 30 büyükşehir belediyesinin faaliyet raporları, stratejik planları, performans programları, personel alım ilanları ve bu belediyelere yönelik Sayıştay denetim raporları incelenmiş ve bulgulara ulaşılmıştır. İkinci aşamada ise büyükşehir belediyelerinde insan kaynakları biriminde yönetici pozisyonunda olan kamu görevlileri ile görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuç kısmında her iki yöntemle elde edilen bulgular, belediye personel sisteminin sorun alanları olarak tartışılmış ve çözüm önerileri geliştirilmeye çalışılmıştır.

Land usage/land cover variation at a bridged section of Ikpoba river in Benin city, mid western Nigeria
Authors: Obayagbona Nosa Omoregbe , Odigie Omorede 
Published: January 2025

A leading cause of land use and land cover changes is human population growth as well as urbanization. This study aimed at identifying the changes in land use and land cover around a bridged point of Ikpoba River, Benin City, Nigeria, coupled with the examination of selected physicochemical attributes of surface water samples collected from the river around the bridged section. Land use and land cover change analysis was done using images from Landsat 5 and 7 for the years 1991, 2002, 2012 and 2022 using ENVI 5.3 software. Surface water samples were collected from 3 sampling points in a three month period; May to July, 2023. The monthly grouped mean data for each sampling point were subjected to one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and mean separation was also carried out using a post hoc test; Duncan’s multiple range test at 95% level of confidence.Land use maps revealed that there was a decrease in the forested areas, grasslands and water bodies and an consequent increase in the barren land as well as built up areas between the years; 1991 and 2022. There were variations in the mean pH and turbidity values. The range of these parameters were; 5.91± 0.05 to 6.76 ±0.10 and 12.50 ±0.50 to 131.50 ± 3.50 mg/l. The variation in the mean pH values was insignificant (p>0.05) whilst the difference in the mean turbidity readings was significant (p<0.05). It is recommended that protective measures be implemented to protect the remaining forested areas while encouraging reforestation of barren lands.

Authors: Setiani Dewi , Putri Raisa Widya 
Published: January 2025

Background: Character education aims to teach the traits needed to build good character, including moral awareness and action. The purpose of developing environmental awareness is to create harmony between humans and the environment, forming individuals who act to protect and utilize natural resources wisely. Nature schools, or Sekolah Alam, utilize the natural environment as a central component of their educational approach, blending formal academic content with outdoor experiential learning. The curriculum in this school focuses on character development, environmental awareness, and practical life skills, rather than traditional academic achievements. Method: In this research, observations were made of the effect of a nature-based curriculum on the awareness of the natural environment by students who attend nature schools, especially at Sekolah Alam Bekasi (SASI). This research uses a qualitative approach that goes through a systematic literature review to assess how the curriculum encourages environmental awareness among students. The data in this research was collected from social media observations, related journals, and publications of Sekolah Alam Bekasi (SASI). Findings: Key elements of the curriculum in Sekolah Alam Bekasi (SASI) include activities like waste management, sustainable farming, and the integration of religious principles with environmental education. The results show that the nature-based curriculum, which integrates environmental education with traditional academic subjects, significantly increases environmental awareness and behavior by students. Results indicate that the nature school curriculum significantly influences students' attitudes toward the environment by promoting practical engagement and ethical stewardship. Conclusion: This research emphasizes the importance of early environmental education in shaping individuals who are responsible and concerned about the environment. Novelty/Originality: This research exploration of how a nature-based curriculum, uniquely integrating environmental education, religious principles, and practical activities, fosters significant environmental awareness and ethical behavior among students at Sekolah Alam Bekasi (SASI).
The role of humans in the sustainability of marine ecosystems: A case study on the conservation of parrotfish and its ecological impact
Authors: Liviona D.A Cantika , Abdillah Niko , S Yudi Nugraha 
Published: January 2025

Background: Life is supported by the ecology and natural resources that exist on earth. Continents and oceans are the two main natural resources that host life and ecosystems around the world. 75% of the Earth's surface is covered by ocean waters that are rich in marine life. Although the oceans are vast, this does not mean that they are limitless. Population growth and development have led to an increase in the demand for marine resources. Increased demand and over-utilization of marine resources have led to strong pressures that have led to a decline in marine ecosystem services. Karimunjawa is famous for the natural beauty of its underwater coral reefs. Methods: This study employs a qualitative approach using literature and secondary data to examine the impact of parrotfish populations on coral reef sustainability. Findings: Based on current conditions, excessive catching of parrotfish has a negative impact on the sustainability of coral reefs in Karimunjawa National Park. It is necessary for local communities to understand the importance of the role of parrot fish for the sustainability of marine ecosystems. Parrotfish spend 90% of their time eating algae attached to coral reefs. Damage to the coral reef ecosystem causes coastal erosion in Karimunjawa National Park. Therefore, the role of the community in managing parrotfish resources is very necessary so as not to threaten the population for the sustainability of the marine ecosystem. Conclusion: The results of this research illustrate the role of humans, namely the community and tourists who come to Karimunjawa to carry out activities to preserve damaged coral reefs and create new coral reef areas. Novelty/Originality of this article: There are also government policies that must be considered and implemented properly for the sustainability of coral reef ecosystems and the conservation of parrotfish in Karimunjawa.
