Abstract: The deterioration of social cohesion throughout the Netherlands has caused the government to take action toward improving social conditions within schools, neighbourhoods, villages, and cities. This article looks at how Dutch government initiatives, through education and lifelong learning, are providing the social tools for citizens to empower themselves. Three case studies are brought to light, demonstrating how cultural policy can be linked with art-directed policy and how social cohesion can be achieved through this method. The paper concludes with an analysis comparing traditional and new cultural policy terms, and questions whether or not the two can be integrated successfully. Résumé: La détérioration de la cohésion sociale dans les Pays-Bas a poussé le gouvernement à agir pour améliorer les conditions sociales dans les écoles, les quartiers, les villages et les villes. Cet article examine les initiatives du gouvernement néerlandais pour fournir, au moyen de l'éducation et de la formation continue, les outils sociaux permettant aux citoyens d'accroître leur pouvoir. L'article cite trois études de cas qui démontrent comment on peut associer une politique culturelle à une politique orientée vers l'art et comment on peut ainsi renforcer la cohésion sociale. L'article se termine par une analyse comparant les conditions de politiques culturelles traditionnelles avec les nouvelles et cherche à apprendre s'il est possible d'intégrer ces deux politiques avec succès.

Although the preservation of cultural heritage has always been a primary task of cultural policy in many countries, the idea of combining digital technology and cultural heritage was almost entirely unknown as recently as 1990. It is undeniable that digital technologies have played an important part in our lives. In the case of Taiwan, the government has been working on digitizing cultural heritage by launching National Digital Archives Program since 2002. Most scholarship has focused either on technical practices or the economic value of such practices. Scanty attention has been paid to the relationship between digital cultural heritage, cultural citizenship, and one’s imagined community. In other words, the application of digital technology onto cultural heritage has been largely unmapped in terms of identity formation. This study explores the social and cultural implication of the combination of technology and heritage. When heritage meet contemporary technology, how does it shape and what does it implicate for one’s cultural identity and imagined community?

Since 2010, the Netherlands has led a wide range of initiatives promoting cybersecurity and stability. The government currently engages with variety of stakeholders – including the private sector, civil society, state actors, and intergovernmental organizations – across multiple fora and organizations. Rather than being a passive participant, the Netherlands has been a catalyst, driving change in the field of cyber security both domestically and internationally. Yet, the challenge which lies ahead for the Dutch government is to make sure their cyber efforts as a whole will become greater than the sum of its parts. It will require increased coordination and collaboration across initiatives to turn the current patchwork into a synergistic endeavor. Our argument is presented in four parts. The first part provides an overview of the national cyber security strategies published since 2011. It also addresses which key terms have been defined by the Dutch government. The second part discusses the Dutch government’s views on sovereignty, international law and international cooperation. Part three analyzes the role of the private sector in the Netherlands. The final part concludes.

At a period like the present, when lunacy legislation is attracting much attention, it is interesting to note the various peculiarities of the law as it now exists in various countries. I have no doubt that most of those who listen to me have seen the Blue Book which the Government caused to be published giving some account of the laws dealing with lunatics in several lands, but many who have not practised in Ireland are unacquainted with the very remarkable features which the lunacy law of that part of Her Majesty's dominions presents. It is true that geographical proximity, or even membership of the same kingdom, does not always connote similarity in social conditions; and the social conditions of any country are as important an element in legislation for the insane as for the sane. Nevertheless even from Ireland instruction may sometimes be obtained, though perhaps some will say that that land more often affords examples for avoidance than for imitation.

Universally, research shows that early childhood education (ECE) contributes to children's development in the very early years. Governments among developed countries subsidize an ample amount of money for children's early education development to generate and enhance human capital. Consequently, in developing countries like Bangladesh, ECE is driven by the family, where family socio-economic conditions make a significant contribution to children's transition from home to school, and to ensure their children begin school at a very early age. This qualitative case study explores parental socio-economic aspirations and the phenomena of ECE initiatives by the government for child transitions from home to schools in Bangladesh. This empirical research contributes by placing parental aspirations for child schooling and focusing on the information-gathering actions by parents in line with the social conditions that inspire parents to choose schools for their children.

AbstractThis article analyzes the 1631-33 mutiny led by Kong Youde against the Ming state on the Shandong peninsula and argues that the conflict emerged directly out of the social tensions between local populations and the displaced migrant refugees of the Bohai gulf region. The maritime integration of the Shandong coast city of Dengzhou with the commercial networks of the Liaodong peninsula and the island archipelagoes of the Bohai, together with the militarization of this regional space, created the social conditions in which Kong Youde could mobilize migrant discontent and attempt to construct his own independent military regime. Cette contribution examine la révolte de 1631-1633 dans la presqu'île de Shantung (Shangdong) mené par Kong Youde contre l'Empire Ming. L'auteur estime que ce conflit est en rapport direct avec les tensions sociales entre les populations locales et des migrants déplacés, des réfugés de la région du Golfe de Bohai. D'une part l'intégration maritime de Dengzhou, ville cotière de Shantung avec les réseaux commerciaux de la presqu'île Liaodong, et d'autre part celle avec les archipels de Bohai, ainsi que la militarisation de la région en surcroît, créèrent des conditions sociales qui permîrent à Kong Youde de mobiliser des migrants mécontants qui lui servîrent dans son régime militaire indépendant prévu.

Hasil penelitian ini antara lain: (1) kondisi sosial ibu-ibu rumah tangga (umur, pendidikan, pekerjaan, dan pendapatan) berpengaruh terhadap pengelolaan sampah. Hal ini dibuktikan  dengan uji regresi linear berganda diperoleh nilai signifikan kondisi sosial (X1) adalah sebesar 0,771 dan nilai t hitung sebesar 0,292; (2) pengetahuan lingkungan  ibu-ibu rumah tangga berpengaruh terhadap pengelolaan sampah. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan hasil uji regresi linear berganda diperoleh nilai signifikan pengetahuan (X2) sebesar 0,000 dan nilai t hitung sebesar 5,565. Oleh karena itu, Kelurahan Anggoeya perlu mendapatkan perhatian khusus oleh pemerintah, karena wilayah tersebut memiliki volume sampah terbesar di Kecamatan Poasia namun kondisi sosial ibu rumah tangga masih lebih rendah jika dibandingkan dengan wilayah lain seperti Kelurahan Anduonohu dan Kelurahan Anggoeya. Selain itu, pengetahuan ibu-ibu rumah tangga di Kelurahan Anggoeya dominan kategori buruk. Kata Kunci: kondisi sosial, pegetahuan, pengelolaan sampah Abstract: The physical condition of urban areas is increasingly narrow and the lack of open space for waste management needs to be increased by community participation in waste management so that the community is able to independently care for the environment. The purpose of this study are: (1) to determining the effect of social conditions of housewives in Poasia District on waste management; (2) to determining the effect of environmental knowledge of housewives in Poasia District on waste management. This research method is a qualitative research method by conducting multiple linear regression analysis on the application of SPSS version 16.0. The results of this study are: (1) the social conditions of housewives (age, education, employment, and income) affect the waste management. This is evidenced by the multiple linear regression test obtained a significant value of social conditions (X1) of 0,771 and t value of 0,292; (2) environmental knowledge of housewives influences waste management. This is evidenced by the results of multiple linear regression tests obtained a significant value of knowledge (X2) of 0,000 and t value of 5,565. Therefore, Anggoeya Village needs to get special attention from the government, because the region has the largest volume of waste in Poasia District, but the social condition of housewives is still lower when compared to other regions such as Anduonohu and Anggoeya. In addition, the knowledge of housewives in Anggoeya Kelurahan is dominant in the bad category. Keywords: social conditions, knowledge, waste management

Education is considered critical in the development of a nation towing to its role of transmitting knowledge, skills and competencies. The question of whether education can promote social cohesion has and continues to be debated all over the world. The UNESCO commission (1996), identified one of the critical pillars of education for the 21 st Century as ̳Learning to live together.‘ Indeed the demand to achieve this has been heightened by globalization, which has rendered spatial boundaries void. In Kenya, the quest for social cohesion is bedevilled by political gimmicks that perpetuate ethnocentrism and often times lead to civil strife as was evident during the post-election violence (PEV) in 2007. As a result of this, the National Cohesion and Integration Act of 2008 was passed as part of Agenda IV reforms under the National Accord Reform Agenda. This led to the formation of the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) whose mandate is to facilitate and promote equality of opportunity, good relations, harmony and peaceful coexistence between persons of different ethnic and racial backgrounds in Kenya and to advice the government thereof. This paper explores the role education can play in building social cohesion, especially in the period after PEV. Using personal experiences as an educator, I shall challenge the status quo in an attempt to chart the way forward for educators to contemplate as they strive to achieve national cohesion, which is a prerequisite to the attainment of Vision 2030.

<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> Terrorism has been one of the problems that is still an actual issue in Indonesia. Studies on this issue have caught the attention of researchers. This study will examine the roots of the emergence of terrorism and strategies for dealing with it in Indonesia. By applying qualitative research methods, this article implies that the emergence of terrorism is based on the problems of ethnic egoism, poverty, non-democratic systems and discrimination. To deal with terrorism in Indonesia, this study proposes a solution where terrorism must be handled through strengthening the role of the government, ulama or the learned Muslim scholars and academia of universities. These three parties must synergize maximally to prevent the emergence and movement of terrorism in Indonesia. In addition, the government needs to strengthen national defense institutions, minimize social disparities, respect human rights and create laws that do not conflict with the social conditions of society, and it is at this juncture that study contributes to the handling of terrorism in Indonesia.</p><p><strong>Abstrak:</strong> Terorisme merupakan persoalan yang masih menjadi isu aktual di Indonesia.

th-century society. If any active role were possible for the lay Christian it was simply that of promoting true religion in the station in life in which God had placed them. Behind the social derision lay the fear of more sinister influences. Legislation had progressively outlawed suspect political activity, but how could those with a vested interest in maintaining constitutional stability be sure that the emerging networks of village preaching and Sunday schools were not being used as cover for the dissemination of republican and atheis-tic ideas? Across a broad swathe of clergy from English high churchmen such as Tatham and Horsley to the General Assembly, and even to those like Porteous within the Popular party, deep suspicions were entertained. A number of writers suggested that among the preachers disaffected elements were working to dissolve the traditional bonds of social cohesion. They despised the king, sought to destroy patriotic feeling and hoped ultimately to overturn the government. In 1799 both the Pastoral Admonition and the rector of Chislehurst in Kent voiced the fear that Samuel Horsley was to develop the following year in his pastoral charge to the clergy of the Rochester diocese: the belief that the associational structure to which many of the preachers belonged was a device to foster subversion and connect apparently innocuous religious gatherings with the world of clandestine pol-itics. In one or two Anglican clerical outpourings there was even a further
