Borderland Infrastructures - Alessandro Rippa - eBook (9789048543564)

Across the Chinese borderlands, investments in large-scale transnational infrastructure such as roads and special economic zones have increased exponentially over the past two decades. Based on long-term ethnographic research, Borderland infrastructures. Trade, Development, and Control in Western China addresses a major contradiction at the heart of this fast-paced development: small-scale traders have lost their historic strategic advantages under the growth of massive Chinese state investment and are now struggling to keep their businesses afloat. Concurrently, local ethnic minorities have become the target of radical resettlement projects, securitization, and tourism initiatives, and have in many cases grown increasingly dependent on state subsidies. At the juncture of anthropological explorations of the state, border studies, and research on transnational trade and infrastructure development, Borderland infrastructures provides new analytical tools to understand how state power is …

Noise landscape - Benedikt Boucsein - eBook (9789462083707)

The expansive areas around large airports, affected by noise, infrastructure, and transient forms of architecture, have until now not been researched as a phenomenon. But these noise landscapes are emerging worldwide, often surpassing the neighbouring city in size, and sometimes rivalling it in economic importance. On the basis of eight European case studies (Amsterdam, Zurich, London-Heathrow, Frankfurt, Munich, Madrid and the two Paris airports) this book provides the first account of how these landscapes emerged as the result of technical determinations, what is taking place in them, and how they can be interpreted. The book is the outcome of several years of research by the chair of Kees Christiaanse at the ETH Zurich.

Lobby for land - Dirk Koppenol - eBook (9789461279590)

Rotterdam's successful lobbying resulted in four massive port expansions: Botlek, Europoort and Maasvlakte 1 between the 1950s and 1970s, and Maasvlakte 2 in 2008-2012. At times these projects encountered opposition; they were expensive and would have considerable impact on the liveability in the port area. Over the decades, the Rotterdam Port Management developed a strong lobby to overcome public and political opposition and maintain support for port expansion. Dirk Koppenol shows, by comparing the 15-year decision-making process of Maasvlakte 2 to the earlier port expansions, how the Rotterdam Lobby functioned, but most of all, why and under which circumstances this lobby for port expansion was successful. Lobby for Land is an exciting and insightful exploration of the forces that have driven the Rotterdam lobby for port expansion, changed the public and political attitude towards port development and determined the success of port expansion decision-making processes. It is a must-re…

Seize the Cloud - E. van Ommeren, M. van den Berg - eBook (9789075414332)

Seize the Cloud: A Manager's Guide to Success with Cloud Computing Cloud is here and ready to be used. It is now one of the many concepts available to organize IT, and it is here to stay. The conversation about cloud computing has turned away from pure technology, and now it focuses on the business side, the economics and the governance aspects. There are still some challenging questions around cloud, but nothing that dismisses the concept as a whole. For example, the question is no longer 'is cloud secure' but more 'can I use this specific cloud solution for my specific situation.' And as soon as we become specific, the mist of the cloud evaporates: it becomes very clear that good concepts, services and solutions are within arms' reach for everyone. Seize the Cloud will serve as your guide through the business and enterprise architecture aspects of cloud computing. In nine chapters, and in a down-to-earth way, cloud is woven into the reality of running an organization, managing IT and…

Managing for performance excellence - Koen Dewettinck, Kurt Verweire, Regine Slagmulder - eBook (9789401404204)

Managing for Performance Excellence provides practitioners with an integrative framework that highlights the key ingredients of an effective approach to performance management. It describes the formal process of planning, measuring and monitoring performance that companies need to develop as the first step towards becoming a highperforming organisation.

Based on an in-depth analysis of real-life situations, the authors draw attention to potential pitfalls and highlight four concrete performance management challenges that companies need to address: clear strategic focus; engaging climate; collaborative structure; and solid information infrastructure. Performance management is examined from a number of different perspectives, with ample illustrations and practical guidelines against which readers can benchmark their own organisations. These insights are a product of the multidisciplin…

Cross-border evidence gathering - Marloes C. van Wijk - eBook (9789462747395)

In order to develop an Area of Freedom, Security and Justice, the European Union is adopting measures to enhance international cooperation in criminal matters among the police and judicial authorities of its Member States. The adopted instruments concerning evidentiary matters, such as the gathering of evidence in another EU Member State, seem to serve the main purpose of assisting the authorities in investigating and prosecuting (cross-border) crime. This raises the question to what extent the defence is also given the possibility to gather information and materials in another EU Member State with the aim of preparing and presenting its case at trial and, in particular, whether the current (EU) legal framework on cross-border evidence gathering meets the requirements of the principle of equality of arms. This book addresses these questions by, first of all, discussing the application of the principle of equality of arms, as enshrined in both Article 6 ECHR and Article 47 CFR, in cross…
