Cultural anthropology and ethnology

What is Anthropology?

  • In a basic sense, Anthropology is the study of humanity itself, of what makes us human. It further focuses on a wide variety of aspects like human behavior, culture, society and biology, in the present but also across the whole of human history. In doing so, Anthropology also takes a lot of its inspiration from other social science disciplines.

Why Anthropology?

  • By studying the way humans interact with one-another in the cultural and societal spaces they are apart of, throughout history and in the present, the goal is to come up with explanations and understandings for why certain human behavior exists. At the same time the study is able to celebrate the diversity we all share as the human race, by showcasing humanity in all its beauty and pain over it’s entire history

Over Vergelijkende antropologie en etnografie

  • Vergelijkende antropologie bestudeert overeenkomsten en verschillen tussen culturen door ze te vergelijken in verschillende dimensies, zoals sociale structuur, economie, religie en politiek. Etnografie is een onderzoeksmethode binnen de antropologie die zich richt op het gedetailleerd bestuderen van een specifieke cultuur door middel van langdurige observatie, interviews en participatie. De bevindingen van etnografisch onderzoek worden vaak gebruikt in vergelijkende analyses om bredere patronen en trends te identificeren.

  • Sociale systemen zijn netwerken van relaties tussen mensen, groepen of organisaties. Deze systemen hebben vaak eigen regels, normen en waarden die het gedrag van de leden beïnvloeden. Machtsstructuren zijn de manieren waarop macht verdeeld is binnen sociale systemen. Machtsstructuren bepalen wie de meeste invloed heeft op beslissingen en hoe hulpbronnen worden verdeeld.

Why this blog about habits and philosophies in Asia

I love Asia. I feel at home in Asia. I am half chinese and half dutch. I feel more at ease in filipino culture than chinese culture. I have a good friend from Japan. Throughout the years, I have tried to be open to everything Asia has to offer. To embrace Asia in my being, in my core and to understand and learn more of this continent in the world. Some of the things that really caught me...  Any Asian habits that particulary interest you? 

    Habits in China

    • Don't scoop food in your bowl for yourself, but wait for your host or hostess to do so.
    • It is impolite to eat everything in your bowl; leave a small amount as a sign of respect.
    • Slurping while eating is not rude in China, but rather a sign that you like the food. Let's slurp.
    • Never refuse an offer to have some food or drinks.
    • Red is the color of happiness, do not wear it at funerals.
    • When you have tea, make sure the teapot points at the other tables, not at a person on your table, that doesn't bring luck.
    • Squat toilets, yes they are still widely used all over China.
    • Public spitting is still a habit for some people. 
    • Drinking hot water is normal and considered healthy.
    • Early rising is a habit for many chinese people and to practice tai chi.

    Habits in Indonesia

    • Gotong royong is the spirit of communal cooperation and mutual assistance. It's a deeply ingrained value in Indonesian society and is often seen in neighborhood clean-up efforts or helping neighbors in need.
    • When having a meal together it is customary to wait for the host to start eating before you dig in. It is also considered impolite to refuse food that is offered to you. If you are full, you can take a small portion and say thank you.
    • Eating together is a time for families and friends to connect and socialize. Rice is a staple food in Indonesia and is usually eaten with every meal without rice it is not considered a meal. It's not uncommon for Indonesians to eat with their hands.
    • Life Cycle Ceremonies happen around various stages of life. Tedak Siten, a Javanese ceremony, celebrates a baby's first steps. Metatah, a Balinese ritual, involves the filing of a child's teeth to mark their passage into adulthood.
    • Batik - is an Indonesian fabric with cultural significance. Different patterns have different meanings and are worn for different occasions.

    Habits in Japan

    • Bonsai - Japanese people recreate nature in miniature, this specific horticulture is called bonsai. 
    • Ikigai - What is worth living? What is it worth coming out of bed for? What drives you? What inspires you?
    • Kintsugi (golden joinery) - is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. You can buy Kintsugi kits in the Netherlands, it is in my opinion a very nice way to glue broken things, with golden glue. 
    • Kirei - is an activity. You look at all your possessions and decide what you want to keep and what can go away. It is an emotional literal clean-up and clean-up action. By cleaning up, you reflect on your past and future.
    • Kurashi - translates to “way of life” or “the ideal way of spending our time,” but like many words lost in translation, it means more than that. If you haven’t tidied using the KonMari Method, focusing on your kurashi will motivate you to start.
    • Mottainai - (もったいない or 勿体無い) It is a term of Japanese origin that has been used by environmentalists. The term in Japanese conveys a sense of regret over waste; the exclamation "Mottainai!" can translate as "What a waste!" Mottainai is the feeling of sadness you have when something hasn't reached its full potential. Recycle and repair. It's all about the love you have for your old stuff.
    • O-hanami - In april are the cherry blossom viewing parties.
    • Omikuji - These are slips of paper that tell your fortune, divided into kichi (good luck) and kyo (bad luck). Depending on the shrine there are various grades of good and bad luck in between. One theory says if you read it without showing anyone else and then tie it to the branch of a tree in the shrine grounds before going home, even bad luck is converted into good luck.
    • Omoiyari - Omoi is thinking, memories and emotion. Yaru is doing. It is empathy, freely translated, it is on the other hand more ordinary and special. It's just because it's part of everyday life in Japan, not just an empathetic reaction. It is special because it makes compassion a part of the community. How do you master omoi? Start with yourself, focus inwards. If you recognize and understand your own feelings, you can translate that into compassion for others. The essence of omoiyari is that you are aware, of other people in life. You behave in a way that is pleasant for others.
    • Shintoism - Shinto is the early religion of Japan. It is a combination of two chinese characters, which means: "The way of the gods." In Shintoism the Kami are being worshipped. Kami are gods of nature. Some kami are bound to be found in certain places, others are united with bigger objects and phenomena. Amaterasu is for example the god of the sun. Marie Kondo the "spark-joy guru of tidying" and her method, the KonMari method, is based on Shintoism. Keeping the house tidy is part of the practice.
    • Shinrin-yoku - I have sent my japanese friend once a photo of me snow bathing (in a bathing suit swimming in the snow) and asked her the japanese term for snow bathing. There is no japanese term for it. And I thought there was! The Japanese have a term for forest bathing: Shinrin-yoku. To be in the forest with the trees, will make sure you will be re-energized and that you can feel your own core.
    • Sumo, Judo and Karate
    • Tea ceremony - The aim of the tea ceremony (in a small space) is to reduce daily life to the barest essentials and idealize form. Behind this idea is to intensify the brief time spent together as a moment to be cherished. Tea utensils, the preparation of tea and the tea ceremony etiquette is all very important. When you will experience a true tea ceremony it is advised to prepare yourself to understand more beforehand of this Japanese ceremony.
    • Tenei- It is about patience and respect of the daily things. Try to find harmony in the day to day activities, to be correct and punctual towards others and to be persistent of the things which are important to you, even when it is not easy. 
    • Tokimeki - As explained by the latest Marie Kondo on Netflix or in her book, do what you like and what you think is important in your life…
    • Tsukumogami - According to Shinto animism, some inanimate objects could gain a soul after 100 years of service, a concept know as tsukumogami.
    • Omiyage and Temiyage - Omiyage and Temiyage are Japanese names for two kinds of gifts. Omiyage are souvenirs you bring home from a trip. Temiyage are thank-you gifts you bring when you visit someone. Japanese people have the habit of buying plenty of gifts for their friends. As a foreigner it is appreciated when you bring Omiyage and Temiyage.
    • Wabisabi 侘 寂 - A lot of things around me are Wabisabi, especially when you try to use things as long as possible. And when you are open to see things in the light they are, and not everything has to be perfect around you. Life in it's imperfection.
    • Zakka - is to be grateful for the normal, simple things that make life special. For example your favorite sweater of coffee cup.

    Habits in Laos

    • Cultural habits: Lao people generally prioritize balance and well-being over material possessions. Lao people are known for their patience and laid-back attitude. Stress in uncommon. This is reflected in their daily lives and business interactions.
    • Boh penyang means "never mind". It is a way of life and considers the slow pace the best. 
    • Social habits & communication: Wai - This is a traditional greeting where people press their palms together in front of their chest and slightly bow their head. The higher the hands, the more respect shown.
    • Sabai-dee- A common greeting that translates to "Are you well?" This reflects the Laotian emphasis on well-being and politeness.
    • Showing anger or disappointment in public is inappropriate. It causes everyone to lose face, better to keep smiling and keep your voice low, speak softly.
    • Pointing and gesturing with hands is frowned upon. 
    • Lao people are not big on waiting in line. They often push and shove to get to the head of the line.
    • Etiquettes & traditions: Spirit worship - Alongside Buddhism, many Lao people also believe in spirits and engage in traditional rituals to honor them.
    • Women should avoid touching a monk, the robes and not sit besides a monk. Almsgiving can be done directly in the bowl, not handed directly to the monk.
    • Never point your feet or soles towards people, a buddha, a temple or statues. That is considered disrespecfull.
    • Eating & drinking habits: Lao people eat with spoon and fork, not with chopsticks. It is common to sit on the floor while eating.

    Habits in Mongolia

    • There are certain habits in the ger, the yurt.
    • Sleep - Always sleep with your feet facing the door, never toward the altar.
    • Whistling - Whistling in a ger is considered rude.
    • Be aware that fire is sacred to Mongolians. Do not throw garbage into the fire.
    • Elders - Always let elders lead the way and do not sit with your back or feet to the altar.
    • Hospitality - When you are offered food or drink, accept it, even if it is just a little. Use your right hand, with your left hand for support. It is customary to give small gifts to your hosts, such as fruit, candy or alcohol.
    • Holding a cup - Hold a cup underneath, not by the rim.
    • Say no in an indirect way, that is polite.

    Habits in the Philippines

    • Use of 'face' in communication - Briefly raise eyebrows to confirm or to mean yes to a question and also used as a brief greeting (all silent).
    • Indicating direction by pursing lips and turning head in direction, all silent as well.
    • Baon - refers to the monetary allowance or food normally provided by the parent to a child who goes to school.
    • Bayanihan - When a house is broken, the whole community helps fixing the house. You might have seen the pictures of a group of people carrying a hut, when it needs to be transferred. It is a true community spirit. You talk, you help and protect the people around you. It is team effort, only possible when done with a group. It is truly a beautiful thing. 
    • Cockfighting is a popular national sport in big and small arenas all over the country. Goal is to gamble (win money) and eat the roosters who lost the game.
    • Finding your spot - Recently I was back in the Philippines, taking public transportation. When you would like to take your window seat, be reminded you have to climb over other peoples lap. Squeeze in between the seat in front of you and the seat with the passenger on it. Enough space, a little intimate but do-able, it has something about it.
    • Pacquiao - Filipinos adore boxer (and politician) Manny 'Pagman' Pacquiao.
    • Pagmamano - Children take your hand, put it on their forehead, as a way of greeting you. It is an act of respect. The child says mamo po, can I have your hand please? Most of the time, they say God bless (you), when put on their forehead.
    • Pasalubong -In the Philippines it is common when you have been on a trip, that you bring a token of love back to the people who stayed home. It is a filipino tradition of travellers bringing gifts from their destination to people back home. It can be anything, something to eat or to drink is always a welcoming gift, since filipinos love eating! It is actually not about what you bring, it is something that you have brought, so the other person knows you thought about them while away. The first time, I heard bring pasalubong, from multiple people, and didnt know how to act. When you see souvenir stores in the Philippines, it has the sign pasalubong. So now you are prepared.... just bring something back... 
    • Noise and music - Filipinos are crazy about high volumes and karaoke (called videoke) and music from the 70s like The Carpenters. There was one big world hit: Anak by Freddie Aguilar in 1978.
    • Remedio - Is fixing things, even though you dont know how to fix it. The filipinos use remedio. Remedio used to drive me crazy. It is fixing things with what you have, in a creative way, and if it works again... that will be clear in the near future. You have to be flexible to embrace remedio.
    • Squeeze - Squeeze your but, in the jeepney, also when you think it is already full. There will be place, when you squeeze. When you are for example sitting at the window in an airplane and you have two filipinos beside you, you squeeze your body in and out going to the aile. It is not a habit to stand up, when you can squeeze, when used to it, it works perfectly fine.
    • Volume - Pump up the jam, pump up the volume. Filipinos love loud music, loud talking, as long as it is lively. The high amounts of volume makes you feel festive and alive, even when there is not a party.
    • 'Whitening' products such as soap, make-up, deodorant are very popular, to stimulate white skin.

    Habits in South Korea

    • In South Korea, and other places I have seen it in Asia, they brush their teeth, three times a day after a meal. People bring portable toothbrushes and you often see people brushing their teeth in the washroom in their office.
    • Family is everything and the eldest son carries the responsibility of the family.
    • Kimchi is a national dish. People make kimchi at home. In the supermarkets a lot of dark bordeau red buckets can be found, so you don't see the stains of the herbs going to be fermented with the vegetables.
    • I personally love banchan. When you order Korean food it is likely you get a lot of different small bowls, (most of the time vegetarian) side dishes. For me as a dutch person, I can do without the maindish, since banchan is so delicious.

    Habits in Taiwan

    • Politeness - Taiwanese people are very polite and respectful. It is customary to bow when greeting someone and to say “thank you” and “please.”
    • Respectfulness - Taking off shoes when entering a house: In Taiwan, it is customary to take off your shoes before entering someone's house. This is done as a sign of respect and to keep the house clean.
    • Respect for elders is considered vital, as is loyalty toward the family.
    • Leave some food on your plate - It shows appreciation for the amount of food served and is considered polite.
    • Cleanliness - Using toilet paper with the right hand: In Taiwan, toilet paper is used with the right hand, while the left hand is considered unclean.
    • Bubble tea is a Taiwanese invention, same like stinky tofu. That stinks.
    • KTV – Karaoke is a popular waste of time or night.
    • Convenience stores – Open 24/7, with a variety of food, drinks and everyday items available.
    • Gifts – Knives and scissors are not appreciated and will be seen as severing a relationship. Clocks and handkerchiefs are best avoided, that will be connected to death and funerals. Check the label: made in Taiwan is not an interesting gift and the recipient from Taiwan already has (all) things made in Taiwan.

    Habits in Thailand

    • Thai people will talk about architecture, dance, festivals and food when you ask about their culture. 
    • Sanuk is a term to express that everything should have something sanuk. Something which is worth doing. The sense or approach with a little playfulness. Even work can be sanuk, singing while working, cracking jokes in combination with the thai smile. 
    • Saving face is important as is in many Asian countries. The habit is to avoid confrontation, and not to embarrass yourself or others.
    • Social rank plays an important part in society. It goes with obligations, obedience, caring for, respect, sharing of wealth. The "big person or senior" pays the bill when dining or entertaining. The person with the most social rank pays for everyone.

    Did you know that.... 

    Asia is the biggest continent in the world. It is huge, this is the list of most Asian countries (including the Middle East)

During Almabtrieb, people celebrate the success of summer and the fact that the animals have returned safely. There are parades with decorated cattle, farmers' markets and live music. Almabtrieb takes place every year between September and October.

    • Fado is a typical Portuguese music movement from the 19th century and the life song of the locals. While Fado used to be popular only in bars and brothels of the poorer neighborhoods in Lisbon and Coimbra, nowadays it is very popular and you come across it in many places.
    • Typically Portuguese are azulejos, Portuguese tiles that you find a lot on and in railway stations, churches and houses. Often they are blue and white, but they can also be richly colored.

    What are typical Mediterranean habits, food customs and remarkable philosophies?

    What are typical Mediterranean habits, food customs and remarkable philosophies?

    Image

    The Mediterranean Sea is surrounded by 16 countries. Of these 16 countries, 6 are in Europe, 5 are in Africa, 4 are in Asia. The 6 European countries that border the Mediterranean are Spain, France, Monaco, Italy, Greece, and the island country of Malta and Turkey. The 5 African countries are Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco; the 4 Asian countries are Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Cyprus. Since the Mediterranean area is quite big, it is difficult to generalise, but let's try for a change.

    To me the Mediterranean is famous for food. Often people speak about the Mediterranean diet. A Mediterranean diet consists food that is found in the region like fresh vegetables, local herbs and spices, fish and seafood, lentils, poultry, eggs, cheese, yoghurt, nuts. Consume with (a moderate amount of) wine and plenty of water.  Many nutrition experts recommend the Mediterranean diet for health reasons. There is hardly any red meat in the diet.

    Habits in Cyprus

    • Family is a priority in Cyprus. Parents take care of their children. When parents grow old, children will take care of them. Old people take care of their grandchildren. Family is everything!
    • People Cyprus are generally slow and they postpone things until the next day. Nobody is in a hurry and try to enjoy every minute of life.
    • The meze is a selection of small dishes, like tapas. The meze is a good formula to enjoy multiple flavors and to socialize over a long meal.
    • Some people in Cyprus believe in the evil eye, which brings bad luck, there are charms to keep you protected.

    Habits in Egypt

    • The hot climate has defined the Egyptians' national character - calmness. People in Egypt like to take it easy. They are often late and spend a lot of time to make a decisions. Non-punctuality and slowness are justified by the habit of living by the "Egyptian time". It is from the Mediterranean habit to relax. Egyptians' favorite word is "Bukra", which means "tomorrow". Which reminds me of mañana mañana.

    Habits in France

    • Fresh and homemade are the two words that describe home cooking in France. Most meals are freshly prepared meals. Everything made from scratch from salad dressings to bread. It is a daily practice for many Europeans. The French are famous for drinking wine with their dinner. All in moderation, then it is even good for health!

    Habits in Greece

    • It is recently I have visited Greece. Greece was on my bucket-list. Greece with an interesting history. What I remember is that people in Greece consume greens as well as herbs numerous times. They love to drink herbal drinks such as chamomile, Greek mountain tea, and add thyme and oregano to their meal every day.
    • A Mediterranean habit is everything in moderation and it was coined by the Greek philosopher Cleobulus. It is key in living well.
    • Messimeri - is the Greek siesta, from 2PM - 5PM. Shops are closed, people are eating lunch or sleeping. 
    • A Greek year revolves around saints days and festivals. Most people are named after a saint, areas, stations, boats you name it. Did you know that name days are more important than birthdays? And of course take the Mediterranean habit to celebrate it all!
    • Panigiria is a celebration where everyone/the whole village comes together to celebrate. Music, food (souvlaki), the syrto, the sirtaki and other dances are ingredients of this celebration. 
    • The Greeks eat late, around 9, 10 or even 11 PM with a lot of ouzo (anis drink with 40% alcohol) and cozy times around the dining table.
    • The Greek used to throw their plates on the floor after the meal. This tradition is typically Greek, but already forbidden. It is dangerous because of the shreds flying around. When you see plates flying around, that might be because the restaurant has a permit. 
    • Olive oil and olive trees are found all over Greece. The Greek love their olive oil.
    • Mezedes - are the Greek tapas. Keftedes, salad, calamaris, souvlaki, octopus, spanakopita (spinach and feta in dough).

    Habits in Israel

    • Israeli diet is considered the healthiest of the world. It totally fits the Mediterranean diet, it is the Mediterranean diet! A lot of vegetables, lemon, chickpeas, moderate amounts of dairy and meat, and all with olive oil. All meals are served in small portions. 

    Habits in Italy

    • I remember my time in Italy with huge meals, of multiple courses, hours and hours spent around the table dining with friends and family. One specific ingredient used in Italy is olive oil. Healthy to the max, used in small portions. 

    Habits in Malta 

    • Daily life in Malta is very laid back. No one seems to ever be in a rush.
    • Many locals enjoy good conversation over a coffee. Malta is a very much family-orientated island, and you can see families spending time together.
    • It is too hot during the day, especially in summer, when the sun is high on the horizon, so the shops are closed and people are resting.

    Habits in Monaco

    • Monacan habits are also connected to food! Daily eating habits reflect a Mediterranean heritage. French and Italian influences can be found in the local recipes. Breakfast is very small, but lunch and dinner often have multiple courses.

    Habits in Morocco

    • Morocco has a small part of the country, which is on the Mediterranean coast. You will find Mediterranean habits in Morocco. Family is for most Moroccans is the most important element in life. It is family before work, friends and sometimes even marriage. Many Moroccans live with their families before and after marriage. The topic family is a populair topic to talk about. It is normal to inquire about details of family relationships of a person you don't know.
    • The people in the country are in general warm, open and do not have any inhibitions. A guest is a gift from Allah. People are likely to invite you to their homes. 
    • Dine and feed your guests even if you are starving is a proverb. The people are generous and will likely send you home stuffed and full. 

    Habits in Spain

    • Flamengo is the example of exercise in a fun way, while dancing. Joy and sorrow threaten to overwhelm you. The raw passion of flamengo can bring you to another world. Get transformed as well and listen to:
    • Pata Negra, Blues de la fontera (1987)
    • Chambao, Flamenco chill (2002)
    • Every one takes naps, the so called siesta. Shops are closed, people eat with family and friends and take a nap afterwards. The nap has the effect that you can't sleep early, so you work until later in the evening, since you had a siesta. You have dinner later and you sleep later.
    • Mañana mañana is a word from the Spanish language that means tomorrow and morning. This word describes the period of time between midnight and noon. It means it is done sometime tomorrow, which means no stress. Take it easy. Enjoy life and relax when possible.

    Why habits?

    For a while now, I am inspired by all kinds of ways of living... Hence this magazine about Scandanavian Habits. I wish you can add as well. You hear more and more about all kinds of Scandinavian habits. All kind of different habits or way of dealing with life, that are interesting. What do you think?

    Habits in Denmark

    Hygge

    • The danish word Hygge is impossible to translate, same as the dutch word Gezelligheid. What is the difference between Hygge and Gezelligheid, from my point of view? I think Hygge you are. It is a way of life, the way you live your life, instead of a way of making a sort of atmosphere. Gezelligheid can be made or the atmosphere is already with you, and thus as well a part of you. The dutch use the term Gezelligheid more of an atmosphere. It is not a reflection of you. Hygge is a mentality, a part of the danish identity. You will sit cosy at the couch with your thick socks, with a cup of Moon tea, in total harmony with yourself and the surroundings. You are, and you are not making an atmosphere. Not sure if I am right. What do you think?
    • "Hygge is een toestand die je ervaart als je in harmonie bent met jezelf, je echtgenoot, de belastingdienst en je ingewanden". - Tove Ditlevsen

    Habits in Finland

    Jokamiehen oikeudet

    • Jokamiehen oikeudet is common in Finland. They have a concept called ‘Everyman’s rights’, it allows everyone to roam freely in nature, camp, eat and pick berries and mushrooms anywhere in forests. How nice is that? As long as it all causes no damage or disturbance to nature or the landowner. 

    Sisu

    • Sisu is the national character of the people in Finland. It is determination, interior gutts that comes from inside. What else can it be, living in a dark and cold country? Does sisu also apply to where you are from?

    Habits in Iceland

    • Loud Sniffing - Sniffing in Iceland is not unusual, it's considered normal there. Blowing your nose is seen as impolite.
    • Dining etiquette - Talking with your mouth full, reaching out to the other side of the table, on top of someone else’s plate, eating quickly, using toothpicks is considered as normal dining etiquette. Same as obtaining a second without being offered is normal. Leaving the table before everyone is done, and bringing your plate to the kitchen is also normal.
    • Soaking in hotsprings - Icelanders take full advantage of their abundant hot springs. Public pools and hot tubs are a common sight, and soaking naked is a daily social activity for many.
    • Strong Naming Traditions - Icelanders have patronymic surnames, meaning their last name reflects their father's name.You either have the family name with -son or -daughter (dóttir) behind it.

    Habits in Norway

    Friluftsliv

    • Frilufsliv is the concept of an outdoor lifestyle. Rejuvinate in nature. Go on a date in nature. Walk, hike up the mountain, ski before work. Walking on sundays is a common habit. You get the point. 

    Helgefylla, Julebord, Afterski

    • Drinking alcohol in Norway is very expensive. So Norwegians specify the time, when alcohol is being consumed. The specific time in the weekends is known as Helgefylla. During holidays, at a Christmas party is Julebord, or after a day of skiing the so called Afterski. We call it Apresski, the drinking after skiing, but can be every day, we don't go skiing that often.... In Norway when it is alcohol-time, a lot goes down the throat. 

    Kaffepause

    • Coffee is the popular. Norway has a high number of amount of coffee drunk per person every year. Coffee in the morning, coffee in the afternoon, coffee in the evening. Coffee, coffee and coffee. With or without a cinnamon bun.

    Kos or koselig

    • What is kos? How is it done? It is like hygge, it can be practiced alone or with others. Inside your home or outside your home. In your bed, beside a fire place, on the couch, in a cafe, in the forest, on the beach. Actually anywhere cosy. Add a good book or movie, cookies and a few candles and you are totally koselig.

    Habits in Sweden

    Dostadning

    • Have you heard of the ritual Döstädning? It is called death cleaning. Cleaning everything up, before you die, so others won't be hassled with your mess. It is a good way of saying goodbye to things, to share memories and to give away stuff which are important to you to others you love and share the story behind things. 

    Fika

    • The Swedisch term Fika is having coffee or tea is a phenomena. It is part of life, an important time of day. Hanging out with friends and get to know each other. A common time to fika is 10 am or 3 pm. You can have tea or coffee or even something else. And a cinnamon bun is part of the deal. Different right? For me, a cinnamon bun is a whole meal. In the Netherlands we have cake when it is someones birthday, or eat a cookie together. Homemade cookies are still special, since not everyone has time to bake. What is your take on Fika?

    Fredags mys

    • Friday cosy or fredags mys is a popular concept in Sweden. It is eating comfort food, like pizza and chips. Wow, such a nice concept it is the dutch borrel, might be a little the same?

    Lagom

    • Just read a whole book about the concept of lagom. It is the Swedish way of life. Lagom is a balancing act, it’s a desire for the good doing everything just right. Lagom is an experience, art and a lifestyle. It is the design, interior decoration, architecture and nature.

    Is Third Culture Kid (TCK) the same as Cross Cultural Kids (CCK)?

    Is Third Culture Kid (TCK) the same as Cross Cultural Kids (CCK)?

    Global Citizen - TCK

    Who are Third Culture Kids?

    The following definition of a certain group of people has been occupying my mind for the last couple of months (and even before then): THIRD CULTURE KID (TCK).

    The first time I heard about this group was, when I was asked to participate in a PhD research as interviewee - fitting the description of TCK myself.

    Third culture kids (TCK) are individuals who are (or were as children) raised in a culture other than their parents' or the culture of their country of nationality, and live in such an environment during a significant part of their early development years.[1] They typically are exposed to a greater volume and variety of cultural influences than those who grow up in one particular cultural setting. [2] The term applies to both adults and children, as the term "kid" refers to an individual's formative or developmental years. However, for clarification, sometimes the term adult third culture kid (ATCK) is used. (Wikipedia)

    Third Culture Kid is a relatively recently pinpointed term for the above described individual, but finds a lot of resonance among like-minded people sharing these experiences.

    Academic research is also focusing more on this topic in recent decades, as more global citizens evolve from the world wide movements ...

    This magazine will bundle relevant content for those who want to know more about Third Culture Kid, who they are, where you can find them, what defines them, etc.

    Is Third Culture Kid (TCK) the same as Cross Cultural Kids (CCK)?

    For an elaboration on these two groups of individuals I can truly recommend the following source.

    The Third Culture Model

    @Model designed by Ruth E. Van Reken 1987

    Common characteristics of Third Culture experience (for adults as well as kids)

    • Cross-cultural lifestyle
    • High mobility
    • Expected repatriation
    • Often a “system identity” with sponsoring organization/business (e.g. military, missionary, corporate, foreign service)

    Cross-Cultural Kids (CCKs) Model

    @Ruth van Reken

    This group includes:

    • Traditional TCKs –Children who move into another culture with parents due to a parent’s career choice
    • Bi/multi-cultural/ and/or bi/multi-racial children —Children born to parents from at least two cultures or races
    • Children of immigrants —Children whose parents have made a permanent move to a new country where they were not originally citizens
    • Children of refugees —Children whose parents are living outside their original country or place due to unchosen circumstances such as war, violence, famine, other natural disasters
    • Children of minorities —Children whose parents are from a racial or ethnic group which is not part of the majority race or ethnicity of the country in which they live.
    • International adoptees —Children adopted by parents from another country other than the one of that child’s birth
    • “Domestic” TCKs —Children whose parents have moved in or among various subcultures within that child’s home country.
      • Special note: Children are often in more than one of these circles at the same time. (e.g. A traditional TCK who is also from a minority group; a child of immigrants whose parents are from two different cultures, etc.) This helps us understand the growing complexity of the issues we face in our changing world

    Third Culture Kids: kinderen die een significant onderdeel uit hun kinderjaren in het buitenland hebben doorgebracht

    Third Culture Kids: kinderen die een significant onderdeel uit hun kinderjaren in het buitenland hebben doorgebracht

    Third Culture Kids (TCK's) zijn kinderen die:

    • een significant onderdeel van hun ontwikkelingsjaren hebben doorgebracht
    • in een cultuur die afwijkt van de cultuur van hun ouders en/of land behorende bij hun nationaliteit.

    TCK’s verhuizen naar en wonen in het buitenland door het werk van een of beide ouders. Weer een “label” zou kunnen worden gedacht; maar vaak wel eentje die waardevol is voor TCK’s om te begrijpen waarom hun referentiekaders verschilt van de wereld om hun heen:

    • de 1ste cultuur, ook wel thuis cultuur genoemd, is de cultuur van hun ouders en behoort vaak bij hun eigen nationaliteit
    • de 2de cultuur, ook wel host cultuur genoemd, is de cultuur van het land (of landen) waarin de TCK woont of gewoond heeft
    • de 3de cultuur is de gedeelde overeenkomsten tussen mensen die een mobiele internationale levensstijl hebben. Het is een samensmelting van alles en is niet gebonden aan een plek.

    Een bredere term die gebruikt wordt is Cross- Cultural Kids (CCK’s): kinderen die tijdens een significant onderdeel van hun ontwikkelingsjaren in een 1 of meer culturen hebben doorgebracht – of voor langere tijd aan 1 of meer culturen zijn blootgesteld.

    • deze term biedt ruimte voor TCK’s, maar ook kinderen die opgroeien in bi- of multiculturele omgevingen (door adoptie, migratie, vluchtelingen, ouders met verschillende culturele achtergronden).
    • deze twee groepen hebben zeker overeenkomsten en hebben beide een “derde culturele dimensie”.

    Boeksamenvatting bij de 1ste druk van Wat doet een Antropoloog van Strang

    Boeksamenvatting bij de 1ste druk van Wat doet een Antropoloog van Strang

    Introductie

    Wat doen antropologen?

    Dit boekje is een korte introductie naar wat voor werk antropologen doen en de verschillende richtingen die antropologen uit kunnen. De breedste definitie van antropologie is dat het een sociale wetenschap is die zich bezig houdt met groepen mensen en hun gedrag, hun onderlinge interactie en hun interacties met de materiële omgeving. Antropologie bestudeert vooral hedendaagse samenlevingen, maar in sommige landen valt ook archeologie onder antropologie. Antropologie valt midden tussen sociologie, wat meer kwantitatief is, en psychologie, wat zich meer bezig houd met individuen. Antropologie is holistisch, kwalitatief en probeert zoveel mogelijk onder de oppervlakte te komen en de onderliggende dynamiek zichtbaar te maken. Het houdt zich bezig met alle facetten van de mensheid. Antropologen proberen de werkelijkheid van bepaalde culturele en sub culturele wereldbeelden te begrijpen en vertegenwoordigen en proberen deze wereldbeelden cross cultureel te communiceren.

    Dit doen antropologen door middel van etnografie, een portret van een groep, vaak in tekstvorm. In een etnografie worden de belangrijkste elementen van een groep beschreven: de samenhang van de groep, hun economie, de geschiedenis, de sociale en politieke instituten en de geloven en waarden. Etnografie wordt gebaseerd op theorie en methode. De belangrijkste methode van antropologie is comparatief. Antropologie is ook empirisch, data wordt in het veld verzameld.

     

    Antropologie in dienst hebben

    Een grote groep antropologen werkt op universiteiten, daar combineren zij lesgeven met onderzoek. Dat heeft een aantal voordelen, de universiteit is een levendige en ondersteunende omgeving met collega’s en een baan bij de universiteit geeft zekerheid en kan gecombineerd worden met werk als consultant of freelance onderzoek. Waarschijnlijk werken meer antropologen als voltijd onderzoekers of als freelancers bij de overheid, niet govermentele organisaties, hulporganisaties, industrieën, het rechtshof en inheemse gemeenschappen.

     

    Het doen van onderzoek

    Antropologen hebben een verantwoordelijkheid om professionele standaarden, academische onafhankelijkheid en ethische principes te behouden. Projecten worden gemaakt met twee belangrijke vragen in gedachten: hoe zal dit onderzoek nieuwe wetenschap creëren? En hoe kan dit onderzoek ten goede komen van de groep waar het over gaat en van de samenleving in zijn geheel? Het belangrijkste doel van antropologie is om een zo volledig mogelijk beeld te geven. Antropologen verzamelen hiervoor een grote hoeveelheid data. Door middel van literatuur onderzoek en veldwerk. Data worden verzameld door middel van participerend observeren en verschillende soorten interviews(formeel, informeel, individueel, in groepen, diepte, oppervlakkig). Veldwerk wordt gevolg door een proces van analyse, het organiseren van de data en theorie aanwenden om een beeld te krijgen van de resultaten.

    Veel mensen gaan er vanuit dat antropologie verdeeld kan worden in toegepast werk en theoretisch werk. Dit is echter.......read more

    Ga reizen, leer jezelf én een ander kennen

    Ga reizen, leer jezelf én een ander kennen

    Image

    Quote van Eurocommissaris Frans Timmermans, op bezoek bij middelbare scholieren in Bergen op Zoom:

    "Ga reizen, dan leer je jezelf én anderen beter kennen"

    Een uitspraak die ik van harte ondersteun. Natuurlijk is ‘reizen’ niet de enige manier om jezelf of een ander te leren kennen. Maar ik ben er van overtuigd dat een tijdje in het buitenland verblijven als een ‘snelkookpan’ kan werken voor persoonlijke ontwikkeling en een breder of beter begrip voor een ander.

    Onder andere door een tweetal subsidieprogramma’s, Xplore en MillenniumDoen!, heb ik in de praktijk bij ruim 1.500 jongeren (15-25 jaar oud) kunnen zien wat een buitenland ervaring vaak betekent voor iemand groei en wereldbeeld. Daarnaast heeft een Tienertoer, Interrail trip en stages/onderzoeken in Guatemala en Maleisië mijn eigen “wereld”beeld stevig verbreed en verdiept.

    Ik gun iedere jongere, maar ook jong volwassene en volwassene, een tijd in het buitenland waarin zelfstandig kan worden gewerkt aan persoonlijke competenties en interculturele vaardigheden.

    Om in de woorden van Timmermans af te sluiten: “Tijdens het reizen leer je wie je zelf bent. Je leert andere landen, andere mensen kennen. En als je de mensen kent, hoef je er niet meer bang voor te zijn.”

    Deel je ervaringen

    • Welke afwegingen en keuzes heb jij gemaakt rondom het wel of niet een tijdje in het buitenland reizen, werken of studeren?
    • Ben je zelf voor wat langere tijd (langer dan de gemiddelde 'vakantie') in het buitenland geweest? Zo ja, wat heeft het jou met name opgeleverd? Wat waren de voordelen, wat waren de eventuele nadelen?

    'Geen beter land dan Nederland!' Of toch niet? Waarom kiezen mensen voor emigratie?

    Image

    Lang niet iedereen die moeite heeft met het feit dat Nederland te volgebouwd raakt, of dat de maatschappij zo sterk is veranderd, of dat het huidige leven niet meer bevalt, kiest voor emigratie. Emigratie is lang niet altijd de "oplossing" voor een gevoel van onvrede met je huidige situatie. Een carrièreswitch, verhuizing binnen Nederland of vrijwilligerswerk waarmee je een maatschappelijke bijdrage levert is voor sommigen voldoende. Toch hakken veel mensen uiteindelijk wel die knoop door en verhuizen voor langere tijd of voorgoed naar het buitenland.

    Onderzoek van EmigratieBeurs (2020) onder ruim 12.000 bezoekers -mensen die zich oriënteren op een lang verblijf in het buitenland- geeft meer inzicht in redenen van vertrek onder deze toekomstige landverlaters.

    • Van de toekomstige emigranten vindt 35% dat Nederland overbevolkt is en zoekt daarom de ruimte in het buitenland. Dit is een stijging van 11% ten opzichte van 2016.
    • Een relatief nieuw motief om te vertrekken zijn de toenemende klimaatregels 4%. 

    Andere belangrijke motieven om te emigreren

    • omdat men gaat genieten van het pensioen 21% (16% in 2016)
    • de slechte mentaliteit in Nederland 19% (23% in 2016)
    • de migrantencrisis 10% (13% in 2016)
    • omdat men een baan zoekt in het buitenland 8% (16% in 2016).

    Minder belangrijke redenen

    • de criminaliteit 3% (5% in 2016)
    • de files 1% (3% in 2016).

    Over het algemeen zijn de meeste emigranten positief en avontuurlijk ingesteld. Ze zijn op zoek naar een betere kwaliteit van leven.

    Aantal emigranten dat jaarlijks vertrekt uit Nederland

    De verwachting is dat de emigratie in 2020 met 5.000 zal stijgen (van 158.000 naar 163.000). De voorspelling is dat deze trend zich zal voortzetten, tot 259.000 emigranten in 2050.

    Overigens moet je met emigratiecijfers altijd voorzichtig zijn; meestal zijn ze gebaseerd op het aantal mensen dat zich heeft uitgeschreven bij de gemeente en het aantal mensen dat zich opnieuw inschrijft in het bevolkingsregister. De hier genoemde aantallen gaan uit van 'emigratie' in een ruime zin des woords: ook de oorspronkelijke buitenlanders, die zich in Nederland vestigden maar weer terugkeren naar het land van herkomst, zijn hier inbegrepen.

    • Wat zijn voor jou redenen om voor langere tijd naar het buitenland te vertrekken? Of om juist de beslissing van vertrek nog niet te nemen, een vertrek uit- of af te stellen?
    • Zijn de hoofdredenen van vertrek voor jou ingevuld, nu je eenmaal in het buitenland woont en/of werkt?

    Ik heb nogal een voorliefde voor alles dat met atlassen en geografische kaarten te maken heeft. Grappige site die ik vond: antipodesmap.com. Een interactieve kaart die je helpt de exacte tegenpool van je huidige locatie (woonplaats, plaats waar je op dit moment bent of juist naar toe wilt, etc.) te berekenen.

    The antipodes of any place on the Earth is the point on the Earth's surface which is diametrically opposite to it. Two points that are antipodal to each other are connected by a straight line running through the centre of the Earth.

    Did you know...

    • The two largest human inhabited antipodal areas are located in East Asia (ChinaMongolia) and South America (Argentina and Chile).
    • The largest antipodal land masses are the Malay Archipelago (IndonesiaPhilippinesNew Guinea), antipodal to the Amazon Basin and adjoining Andean ranges.
    • The Australian mainland is the largest landmass with its antipodes entirely in ocean.
    • The majority of locations on land do not have land-based antipodes.
    • By definition, the North Pole and the South Pole are antipodes.
    • There are no non-stop scheduled flights between any two antipodal locations by commercial airline service. A hypothetically perfect antipode flight would be Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport, Morocco to Whangarei Aerodrome, New Zealand (approximately 20000 km flight).
    • Since 11 October 2018, the longest non-stop scheduled airline flight by great circle distance is between Singapore and Newark, New Jersey at 15,344 km.

    Exact or almost exact antipodes cities...

    • Christchurch (New Zealand) — A Coruna (Spain)
    • Madrid (Spain) — Weber (New Zealand)
    • Wellington (New Zealand) — Alaejos (Spain)
    • Hong Kong (China) — La Quiaca (Argentina)

    Het verbod van een politieke partij: een anomalie in een democratie? - Artikel

    Inleiding

    De democratie moet zich steeds meer verdedigen tegen haar vijanden. In Europa is op dit moment de ontwikkeling gaande dat er een opkomst is van rechts-populistische partijen enerzijds en moslimfundamentalisten anderzijds. Deze opkomst dwingt regeringen ertoe na te denken over de vraag hoe om te gaan met extremistische organisaties en bewegingen wier gedachtegoed of ideologie haaks staat op de uitgangspunten van democratische rechtsstaten.

    Er gaan steeds meer discussies spelen in Nederland, over of salafistische organisaties wel thuis horen in de democratische samenleving, en over of het verkiezingsprogramma van de PVV wel door de beugel kan in onze democratische rechtsstaat. Zowel vanuit de politiek als uit de samenleving komt veel kritiek op de PVV. De PVV is voor een meer directe democratie. Zo willen zij een bindend referendum, waardoor burgers meer macht krijgen. Echter hebben zij ook programmapunten die indruisen tegen de fundamentele bepalingen in onze Grondwet. De PVV wordt hierdoor gezien als een anti-rechtsstatelijke partij.

    Indien de PVV aan de macht komt, is er sprake van een anti-rechtsstatelijke partij die democratisch aan de macht komt. Dit kan leiden tot grote spanningen tussen de rechtsstaat enerzijds en de democratie anderzijds.

    Politieke filosofie: rechtvaardiging van een partijverbod

    Kan het gerechtvaardigd worden dat een politieke partij die op democratische wijze zetels heeft gekregen wordt uitgesloten van het democratisch proces?

    Er zijn drie democratie-opvattingen te onderscheiden:

    • De formele democratie-opvatting: Volgens deze opvatting is de democratie slechts de procedure van besluitvorming waarin de verkozen meerderheid beslist, ongeacht de inhoud van het besluit.
    • Democratie als zelfcorrectie: Volgens deze opvatting kunnen democratisch tot stand gekomen besluiten door nieuwe politieke meerderheden weer ongedaan worden gemaakt of gecorrigeerd. De democratie is een open proces, waarbij de inrichting van de staat altijd openstaat voor verandering.
    • De materiële-democratieopvatting: De democratie is volgens deze opvatting inherent verbonden met bepaalde rechtsstatelijke waarden zoals vrijheid en gelijkheid.

    Volgens deze laatste opvatting zou het problematisch zijn wanneer een partij als de PVV aan de macht zou komen, wegens de rechtsstatelijke waarden die dan in het geding zullen raken. Deze opvatting levert de grootste verbodsgrond op. Een grote kritiek op aanhangers van de materiële leer is dat zij de democratie en rechtsstaat door elkaar halen. Daarnaast zien zij vrijheid en gelijkheid als absolute waarden, maar dit kunnen zij niet hard maken tegenover hun tegenstanders, tenzij zij een beroep zouden doen op het natuurrecht. Dit blijkt echter allang achterhaald te zijn.

    Of een verbod van een politieke partij gerechtvaardigd kan worden in het licht van de democratie hangt er dus vanaf welke definitie van democratie wordt aangehangen. Om dit makkelijker te maken, zou dus een verbodsgrond geconstrueerd moeten worden die niet afhankelijk is

    Hoe gedraag je je respectvol op reis?

    Hoe gedraag je je respectvol op reis?

    Image

    Respect hebben naar je omgeving. Er zullen weinig reizigers zijn die hier niet achter staan. Toch is je hiernaar gedragen lastiger dan het lijkt. Thuis weet je wat de geschreven en ongeschreven regels zijn en zul je je vaak, onbewust, hiernaar gedragen. Je bent daar immers mee opgegroeid. In een ander land kun je hier niet altijd op terugvallen en zul je je moeten aanpassen aan de lokale gebruiken. Hoe kun je als reiziger ervoor zorgen dat je je toch respectvol gedraagt op reis?

    Verdiep je in de lokale cultuur

    Probeer de cultuur te leren kennen voordat je op reis gaat zodat je rekening kunt houden met de lokale gebruiken. Elke cultuur heeft een eigen identiteit met eigen rituelen, handelingen en gewoonten. Of je het nu eens bent met de regels en opvattingen van een cultuur of niet, je zult er rekening mee moeten houden dat er per cultuur verschillend gedacht wordt over wat acceptabel gedrag is en wat niet. Zoek van te voren bijvoorbeeld wat informatie op over:

    • De grootste problemen in een land waar het toerisme invloed op heeft. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan vernietiging van natuurgebieden, watertekort of uitbuiting. Probeer te voorkomen dat je deze problemen erger maakt. 
    • De lokale wetten. Niet alleen vermijd je zo problemen maar je respecteert ook de lokale cultuur. Het is nu eenmaal zo dat de wetten van het land waar je naar toe gaat gelden en niet die van je eigen land.
    • De gedragsregels van het betreffende land. Dit kun je vaak online vinden of via reisgidsen.

    Bedenk van te voren dat locals ook geïnteresseerd zijn in jouw cultuur. Neem bijvoorbeeld wat foto's mee om te laten zien en neem als je bij locals overnacht een paar kleine cadeautjes mee!

    Kijk naar jezelf

    Wees je bewust van je positie als reiziger en je eigen overtuigingen van een bepaald land. Ook al lijkt het alsof iedereen om je heen de verste reizen maakt, reizen is een privilege dat voorbehouden is aan een klein deel van de wereldbevolking. Zeker op de meer toeristische plekken heeft de lokale omgeving zich vaak al aangepast aan (westerse) reizigers waardoor de plaatselijke cultuur en dingen die daar spelen soms moeilijk te zien zijn. Dat betekent niet dat jij als reiziger daar buiten staat, je bent nog steeds te gast in een ander land.

    Ook heb je, door de media of verhalen van anderen, vaak een eenzijdig beeld van een land. Als je een land bezoekt kun je je daar naar gaan gedragen. Bij Afrika is dat beeld bijvoorbeeld dat het een arm, onderontwikkeld continent is waar jij als rijke westerling kan helpen. Om respectvol om te gaan met de lokale bevolking is het daarom belangrijk om je bewust te zijn van je eigen overtuigingen en met een open blik het contact aan te gaan. Je kunt veel van ze leren.

    Leer de lokale gedragscodes

    Zoek van te voren uit hoe je je hoort te kleden in de plaatselijke cultuur. Vooral voor vrouwen gelden vaak strengere (culturele) gedragsnormen. Kijk daarom goed wat de bevolking zelf draagt. Lopen de vrouwen bijvoorbeeld in korte rokjes, dan kan jij dit ook doen. In een land waar de vrouwen allemaal gesluierd lopen, is het weer niet verstandig om in je korte broek en topje over straat te gaan.

    Behalve de kledingcodes, is het ook verstandig om de bestaande gedragscodes in de gaten te houden. In landen als bijvoorbeeld Pakistan is het contact tussen mannen en vrouwen aan strenge regels gebonden en kunnen sommige gebaren heel anders worden opgevat. 

    Zoek van te voren goed uit wat de houding is van de regering en de bevolking tegenover alcohol, en houdt je dan ook aan de lokale gebruiken. Ook roken is een punt van aandacht. De tabakindustrie probeert in veel ontwikkelingslanden het beeld te schetsen dat roken bij een rijke levensstijl hoort en het feit dat roken longkanker veroorzaakt wordt vaak verzwegen. Als je als “rijke” westerling gaat staan roken, bevestig je alleen maar dit beeld. Verder kunnen onderwerpen als homoseksualiteit, maar ook de lokale politieke situatie gevoelig liggen.

    Wees voorzichtig met het maken van foto's van mensen. In sommige culturen is dit ongebruikelijk en veroorzaak je een probleem (bijv. door bijgeloof). Soms wordt ook geld gevraagd voor een foto of het maken van foto's, probeer daar een beetje soepel mee om te gaan. Over het algemeen geldt dat het het beste is om eerst even vragen of je een foto mag maken. In bijvoorbeeld veel Afrikaanse landen wordt het op toeristische plekken niet gewaardeerd, terwijl men het in kleinere dorpjes juist ontzettend leuk vindt.

    Ga bewust om met geld

    Wees netjes bij het afdingen. Ook al dingt de lokale bevolking veel meer af dan jij en lijkt het dus alsof jij veel te veel betaalt, bedenk dat zij ook veel minder te besteden hebben. Met het geld dat jij “te veel” betaalt, kan dat ene huishouden waarschijnlijk een hele tijd eten. 

    Probeer je geld zoveel mogelijk lokaal te besteden. Ga eens uit eten bij een restaurant dat lokale producten inkoopt, doe je boodschappen zoveel mogelijk bij de kleine, lokale winkels, boek een lokale rondreis of excursie en in plaats van te overnachten in grote hotels, ga naar een lokale bed & breakfast. Geef ook een fooi als je bij een lokaal restaurant gegeten hebt of als het kamermeisje je kamer schoongemaakt heeft.

    Probeer gebruik te maken van de diensten van de lokale bevolking. Sta bijvoorbeeld toe als iemand aanbiedt om je tassen te dragen en betaal ervoor (wat lokaal gebruikelijk is, of net een klein beetje meer). Hetzelfde geldt voor riksjas en tuktuks.

    Het geven van geld aan bedelaars is een lastig punt. In sommige landen wordt het afgekeurd, terwijl het in andere landen weer gebruikelijk is om wat aan bedelaars te geven, bijvoorbeeld omdat het vorm van sociale voorziening is. Over het algemeen is een makkelijke regel: daar waar de lokale bevolking bedelaars steunt, kan je ook dezelfde bedragen geven. In plaats van geld te geven aan bedelaars kun je er ook voor kiezen om geld te doneren aan een lokaal goed doel. Als je toch liever direct wat geeft, geef dan bijvoorbeeld een handdoek of eten.

    Dat rekening houden met de lokale cultuur en omgeving belangrijk is zal elke reiziger beamen. Toch kan het gebeuren dat je, bewust of onbewust, lokale normen of gedragscodes overtreedt, wat tot vervelende situaties kan leiden. Als reiziger heb ik bijvoorbeeld meegemaakt dat medreizigers ruzie kregen met de plaatselijke bevolking om geld, of zelfs in aanraking kwamen met politie door zich niet aan de regels te houden. Ik denk dat een goede voorbereiding daarbij veel kan schelen. In deze bundel heb ik daarom wat tips en leesmateriaal verzameld.

    Samenvatting Democratie in Europe

    Samenvatting Democratie in Europe

    2. De Europese unie en nationale instituties

    Nationale leiders nemen een stelling in met betrekking tot het debat over het toekomstige ontwerp van de EU. Deze aanvankelijke stellingen zijn diep geprojecteerd op traditionele visies op de nationale democratie in de EU. Het Duitse voorstel dat gelanceerd werd in het debat was bijzonder federalistisch. Een Europese federatie die bestaat uit een tweede kamer met bevoegdheden zoals die van de Duitse Bundesrat, en een Europese Grondwetgevende Verdrag zoals de Duitse grondwet die op EU-niveau competenties uit zou zetten terwijl de rest werd overgelaten aan de overige lidstaten.

    Het Franse tegenvoorstel was meer een intergouvermentele, waarbij meerdere overheden betrokken bij zijn.

    De EU komt het dichtste bij een quasi federaal systeem dat verticaal wordt gekarakteriseerd door verschillende divisies van macht, verdeelt tussen supranationale en nationale niveaus en horizontaal door een dynamische verwarring van krachten tussen executieve, wetgevende macht en rechtelijke macht.

     

    De structuur van het quasi federaal systeem

    Voor de algemene beschouwer lijken de basis structuren van de EU op een typisch federaal systeem op basis van de verdeling van macht tussen de centrale en lagere niveaus en de verdeling van het uitvoerende, wetgevende en rechtelijke macht. Van dichtbij bekeken, blijkt dat de EU niet bepaald past in een traditioneel model van overheid. De juridische macht en de beslissingen hiervan zijn het middelpunt van de wet voor elke inwoner van een land, zoals in een federale staat. Alleen in de EU zijn de samengestelde leden compleet in controle over de juridische macht, zowel in erkenningsvoorwaarden en in uitvoering. Vanaf het ontstaan van de internationale structuren van de EU is het een probleem om hier een goede definitie aan te geven. Vooral om de verschillende opvattingen over wat de EU is en wat het moet worden. Federalisten van het eerste uur begrijpen dat een federale visie een bedreiging is voor nationale leiders. De EU ontwikkelde zich zonder een duidelijke set van ideeën of redenen over wat het is of hoe het moet zijn. Er werd enkel gekeken hoe het in stand werd gehouden. Dit was een uitnodiging voor leiders van de verschillende landen om hun eigen nationale visies te projecten op de EU. Op deze manier konden ze de Europese integratie promoten zonder te hoeven nadenken over de impact van de EU op de nationale structuren.

    De eerste moeilijkheid is dan ook om een definitie te geven van de overheidsstructuren van de EU. Deze structuren conformeren nog een traditionele eenheidsstaat, nog een federale staat.

     

    Federalisme is een systeem met een formeel opgerichte, verticale verdeling van de macht. De centrale raad van bestuur betrekt subnationale eenheden in haar besluit. De procedures zijn verankerd in.....read more
