Dutch Welfare Reform in an expanding europe. The neigbour’s view
€ 32,50
De structuur van de Europese welvaartstaten en hun systemen van sociale zekerheid staan onder druk. Door algemene ontwikkelingen op het gebied van individualisering, vergrijzing en migratie en nu door het proces van Europese integratie, worden regeringen gedwongen dat systeem te herzien. Vijf vooraanstaande specialisten op het gebied van sociale zekerheid uit België, Duitsland, Frankrijk, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en uit de Verenigde Staten geven in deze bundel hun visie op de inrichting van de Nederlandse verzorgingsstaat. Zo krijgt de lezer niet alleen een beeld van het rijke mozaiek van het Nederlandse model, tegelijkertijd worden zo ook de belangrijke vragen en toekomstige dilemma''s duidelijk gemaakt.
Zo draagt dit boek bij aan het politieke debat in Nederland én in Europa over de toekomst van de welvaartstaat in een Europese context.
Erik de Gier is hoogleraar Sociaal Beleid aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam en directeur van SISWO. Abram de Swaan is Universiteitsprofessor aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Machteld Ooijens is antropoloog en econoom en als wetenschappelijk medewerker verbonden aan SISWO.

Money be man
€ 12,39
Health care policy should be based on understanding of what takes place at the community level. This study explores how people in a coastal village in Ghana perceive and use modern pharmaceuticals. In this G speaking community, 35 kilometers from the capital, there are no proper health care facilities. Most people purchase their medicines in two drugstores which sell products that they are not supposed to sell according to government rules. The author focuses on local perceptions of anatomy and etiology and on people's health expenditure. His book is a search for- the social and cultural basis of the popularity of pharmaceuticals. "Money be man", an inscription on a local lorry, captures the villagers' main concern: without money one cannot remain healthy.

Marine Insurance in the Netherlands 1600-1870. A comparative institutional approach
€ 39,90
Marine insurance has been of great importance to the expansion of long distance trade and economic growth in the early modern period, in particular for seafaring nations such as the Dutch Republic. The Amsterdam market became Europe's leading insurance market and within the Republic other insurance systems also emerged. Little is known about the differing institutional frameworks governing these industries and the interaction between the institutions and the actors in the industry. This study will examine the development of marine insurance in the Netherlands in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and the province of Groningen from c. 1600 to 1870 from an institutional point of view. It will examine how the behaviour of authorities, insurers, underwriters and brokers was affected by the formal and informal constraints of the industry and how in turn their conduct has influenced the institutional framework and induced institutional change. A comparative institutional analysis will be made of three insurance systems in the Netherlands, each with its own distinctive characteristics. The interaction between institutions and actors will be studied in relation to the effects of technological innovations and international geo-political changes. By examining developments over a period of two and half centuries the path of long-term institutional change becomes discernable.

Bridges & Watersheds. A narrative analysis of watermanagement in England, Wales and the Netherlands
€ 22,50
What is good water management, if we take scarcity of water, combined with climate change, the rise of sea level and a growing world population into account? Can water management be privatized? Or should the role and the position of the nation state even be strengthened to protect the environment and the citizens? Dicke has conducted a narrative analysis of water management in England, Wales and the Netherlands. Hundred years ago, water used to be a national public good. The nation state was pivotal in water management. Nowadays, water is considered to be part of a global water system. This view transforms water from a national to a global public good. As a result, the nation state is not the only actor, which has a say in the management of this global public good. This transformation places the public private divide once again at the center of attention.
The present debate about privatization, both in England and in the Netherlands, is incomplete. It does not take all dimensions of the public private divide into account. Dicke suggests that both visibility (transparency) and collectivity (water belongs to us all) should be considered. The issue is not whether water management is provided by a nation state or not. The issue should be whether the dimensions of collectivity and visibility are well balanced. This can only be achieved through a restoration of the link between water and society.
