 | | | | Land use changes, transport poverty and potential mobility solutions: An exploration of a possible future Nearly ten years ago, land use policies changed radically in the Netherlands. In early 2016, national and regional governments drastically loosened their historically tight grip on land use developments. The policy shift followed a widely discussed ruling by the Raad van State of December 2015, stating that the 'ladder van duurzame verstedelijking' and related notion of 'passend ontsloten' implied an inappropriate interference of the national government in local planning decisions. The interpretation of this decision was perhaps even more radical than the ruling itself. The Ministry of... |

| Bounded school governance: Reflections on the limits and contradictions of governing In this presentation I reflect on the extent to which school governance in England is embroiled in the technical-rational management of processes and outcomes and the bureaucracy, performativity and professionalisation typically underpinning such management. While these approaches to school governance are necessary in some sense – devolved management and school autonomy is vulnerable to moral hazard without proper oversight and transparency of their internal operations – they engender forms of de-democratisation or depoliticisation (concealed through an appeal to efficiency and expert... |

| The Development and Rise of Islamic State (IS) and the Violence it manifests: A theoretical perspective IS is a new phenomenon in the face of an on-going conflict in the Middle-East in what I refer to as the Shami theatre. It evolved from a fledgling affiliate of al Qaeda into a powerful and organised "pseudo-state" under the leadership of Abu-Bakr al-Baghdadi and operates largely in the Shami theatre. The Shami theatre with its core group of actors has been scripted into a region of conflict, through a toxic approach from 1916 till now (2017), a hundred years and counting. According to the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR), of the 203097 civilian deaths recorded from March 2011 until... |

| Gender Politics After War: Mobilizing Opportunity in Post-Conflict Africa EMPOWERMENT AND OPPORTUNITY IN THE AFTERMATH OF CONFLICT In recent decades, the devastating and disproportionate toll that armed conflict wreaks on the lives of women has garnered considerable and much-needed attention. Less studied, however, are the openings and opportunities brought about through war, which have the potential to disrupt and fundamentally reorder gender relations in the aftermath of conflict. These processes, neglected until recently in scholarship on... |

| An Investigation of the Influence of the Worldwide Governance and Competitiveness on Accounting Fraud Cases: A Cross-Country Perspective This article examines how worldwide governance, global competiveness, and other institutional determinants have influenced the number of accounting fraud cases in several countries. The researchers have focused more closely on the importance of 'good governance' as one of the indicators of development objectives in itself. The institutional perspective is employed to explain the complexity of frauds in different societies which can be compatible for the purposes of international judgments in order to increase the effectiveness of previous forensic accounting theories. In this paper, a... |
