Our country is bursting with talent. If we give our people freedom, confidence and...

Sven Biscop This Is Not a New World Order
Europe Rediscovers Geopolitics, from Ukraine to Taiwan
If every event in international politics is a turning point, one can only go and lie down, out of sheer dizziness. In reality, we have been living in the same multipolar world for more than three decades. Europeans are only now again getting used to how such a world of great powers works. In the process, the European Union has rediscovered the importance of geopolitics. Without geopolitical awareness, crafting good strategy is impossible.

R. Widemann Money is a mind thing
Money was a mind thing long before certain goods were used as money and coins started circulating. As it happens money isn't a thing, but an idea, an idea of debt. What we generally take for money, are merely symbols of this idea of money. In this book a reader accompanies the author on a tour along various ideas on value man had from the beginning of time. The result is a colourful description of the historical development of ideas on money and values from ancient history to our present time. Reinold...

Patrick Develtere | Huib Huyse | Jan Van Ongevalle International development cooperation today
a radical shift towards a global paradigm
Over the past 60 years high-income countries have invested over 4000 billion euros in development aid.

Today, however, international development cooperation is no longer restricted to helping by giving. Instead, it is rather about opportunities, mutual interests, risk taking, and an inclusive societal approach. With the arrival...

Henny Bos If criticism hurts
(or a blessing in disguise)
We all get criticized. That's part of life. Parents, partners, friends, haters, strangers, they all have an opinion on what you do, what you don't do, and what you should do. But if the critique hurts and leads to anger or sadness, it means you are a victim of two unexpected enemies: your ego and your inner critic. If you want to be free from the pain of judgment, you need to say goodbye to your ego and welcome your true Self, the authentic and unique person that you are. Henny Bos links personal...
