This book was released on 2011 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Het compactestadbeleid is in Nederland ongeveer een kwart eeuw oud. Het werd gedreven door de vier grote steden in de Randstad, die zich na de economische crises van de jaren zeventig en het gevoerde (gebundeld) deconcentratiebeleid geconfronteerd zagen met een enorm verlies aan midden- en hogere inkomensgroepen. Tegelijkertijd ontstonden nieuwe inzichten over het belang van krachtige steden in de opkomende mondiale netwerkeconomie. In combinatie daarmee kwamen ook duurzaamheid, mobiliteit en kwaliteit van het landelijk gebied in relatie tot die stedelijke opgave op de agenda. Vanuit die achtergrond werd het compactestadbeleid vanaf midden jaren tachtig op nationaal niveau geformaliseerd. De doorgezette mondialisering, informatisering, de veranderende economie en het toenemend belang van duurzame ruimtelijke ontwikkeling vragen om een hernieuwde invulling van compactestadbeleid. De actuele setting is wezenlijk anders dan die van zo'n kwart eeuw geleden.

Download or read book The SAGE Handbook of Housing Studies written by David F Clapham and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2012-04-20 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-disciplinary and critical in its approach, The SAGE Handbook of Housing Studies is an elucidating look at the key issues within the field. It covers the study of housing retrospectively, but also analyses the future directions of research and theory, demonstrating how it can contribute to wider debates in the social sciences. A comprehensive introductory chapter is followed by four parts offering complete coverage of the area: Markets: examines the perception of housing markets, how they function in different contexts, and the importance of housing behaviour and neighbourhoods Approaches: looks at how other disciplines - economics, geography, and sociology - have informed the direction of housing studies Context: traces the interactions between housing studies and other aspects of society, providing context to debate housing through issues of space, social, welfare and the environment. Policy: is a multi-disciplinary and comprehensive take on the major policy issues and the causes and possible solutions of housing problems such as regeneration and homelessness. Edited by leading names in the field and including international contributions, the book is a stimulating, wide-ranging read that will be an invaluable resource for academics and researchers in geography, urban studies, sociology, social policy, economics and politics.
Download or read book Preventing Irreparable Harm written by Eva R. Rieter and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 1282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International human rights adjudicators, while facing urgent cases, have used provisional measures in order to prevent irreparable harm, e.g. to order States to halt an expulsion, the execution of a death sentence, destruction of the natural habitat, or to ensure access to health care in detention or protection against death threats. In the practice of the various adjudicators the traditional concept of provisional measures has undergone a process of humanisation. This book addresses the question how such provisional measures can be made as persuasive as possible. Apart from the Inter-American Court, none of the human rights adjudicators motivate or publish their provisional measures. Yet this book analyses their (best) practices and obstacles, determines the underlying rationale for their use of provisional measures and establishes the core of the concept of provisional measures that all adjudicators have in common. It argues that clarity on what belongs to the core of the concept, and on what does not belong to the concept at all, enhances the persuasive force of provisional measures. The practices of the international adjudicators made accessible in this book may prove useful in the ongoing cross-fertilization occurring among these adjudicators. Moreover, the analysis provided allows individual victims, their counsel, NGOs as well as international institutions to address more effectively urgent human rights cases. About this book: 'Rieter's book is a very worthwhile and sorely needed reference. Overall, the book provides a comprehensive and organized explanation of provisional measures and the bodies that may issue them. Its most important contribution is found in the middle chapters addressing the various situations and kinds of harm previously addressed by human rights tribunals when granting provisional measures, although the practical suggestions to human rights tribunals are also surely welcome. Researchers, human rights defenders and the tribunals themselves will find much in Rieter's volume to strengthen and enrich their work. Ideally, the information it contains will contribute not only to better understanding of provisional measures, but also to coherence in, and progressive development of, this area of the law.'

Download or read book Two Centuries of Solidarity written by Karel-Peter Companje and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health insurance is a key component of the current social security system in European Union countries. In most countries, modern health insurance funds and health care insurers are an essential role in implementing the public health insurance system. Many of these modern health insurance funds have a fascinating and long ancestry, clear traces of which can be seen today in the organisation of national health insurance, as well as the structure of health insurance funds and insurers. In their study Two Centuries of Solidarity, the authors compare health insurance, health insurance funds and health care insurers in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. Given the similar political, economic and social development that these countries have undergone in the past 60 years and the qualitatively high level of health care they provide, one might expect a degree of likeness in these countries' health care insurance systems. The dissimilarities are surprising, however. In fact, differences are becoming ever more apparent between the different national systems in general, and between the structure and operation of the health insurance funds and health care insurers in particular. Differences include the compulsory nature of insurance, the extent of cover, premiums, health insurance business, mutual competition, and the degree of private insurance. Many of these national singularities can be understood and explained only by considering the historical background of the current national health insurance systems, the insurers, and their evolution over de past centuries. This study adopts an institutional and political perspective towards further understanding of the development of health insurance, and of how this ultimately determined the specific nature of the health care insurers and funds, and how they currently operate in the three countries studied.

Download or read book Transitions in Health Systems written by Jacqueline E. W. Broerse and published by Vu University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, health care is confronted with a wide variety of problems: new emerging or re-emerging diseases, rising costs, increasingly complex management processes, and so on. Since the 1990s most nations have tried to deal with problems by reforming their health systems. However, many of these reforms did not succeed in realizing the desired gains in efficiency and equity. This book aims at exploring persistent problems in health systems and health system reform from an innovative perspective - the perspective of the new, emerging scientific field of system innovation and transition theory. This generates new and refreshing insights on how to innovate and strengthen health systems. In particular, strategies that could be labeled transition experiments - involving all relevant stakeholders exploring new constellations in niches - are described and analyzed.
