Volgens de zojuist verschenen Burgerperspectieven van het SCP verdwijnen de zorgen van de burger over de economie naar de achtergrond, wordt het thema integratie weer belangrijker en groeit de steun voor terrorismebestrijding en militaire missies. Dit soort inzichten zegt echter weinig over hoe 2015 kan gaan verlopen. Wat de economie betreft startte in 2014 een […]
For Norway natural gas can serve many purposes. However many questions remain about the future role of natural gas. Can it act as a positive factor on the road towards a zero-emission society? Or, will it displace renewable solutions? And, what about the role of geopolitics? Norwegian magazine ‘Leadership Weekly’ spoke with several experts, including […]
We zijn allemaal geneigd de waarheid uit krijgsgevangenen te slaan en moeten leren hoe misdadig dat is, betoogt kolonel b.d. Peter Wijninga. Naar aanleiding van het rapport van de Amerikaanse Senaat over de martelpraktijken van de CIA schreef Peter Wijninga een opiniestuk in NRC Handelsblad. Het opiniestuk is te downloaden met de knop rechts op deze […]
Fee-free public events, like the Nijmeegse Vierdaagse, the Summer Carnival in Rotterdam and the Uitmarkt in Amsterdam, typically attract twenty thousand up to two million visitors. How can public and private partners effectively cooperate to manage such large crowds? How can the safety and security of the visitors of public events be guaranteed? In this […]
As the Executive Director of The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies (HCSS) since May 2014, I have been in touch with a multitude of people and organizations involved with HCSS.

De discussie die het SCP met het onderzoek ‘Verschil in Nederland’ heeft aangezwengeld gaat inmiddels alleen nog maar over de elite. Veel Nederlanders verafschuwen die, om haar schurkerige zelfverrijking én het feit dat zij voorstander is van immigratie. De hardwerkende Nederlander wordt dus door die elite op twee manieren gepakt: hij wordt erdoor uitgemolken en […]
At this time of year, people around the world celebrate together, but they also reflect on the all too painful perils to peace. At HCSS, we recognize the growing imperative to embrace diversity and promote inclusion—not only to protect human rights, but also to stimulate productivity, strengthen security and build societal resilience. Globally, we have […]
Burdened by western sanctions, Russia is desperately looking for new friends. The gas deal with China, concluded last May, fits neatly within Putin’s goal to lessen his dependence on the West. The same goes for the cancellation of the South Stream pipeline on 1 December 2014, and the subsequent announcement of an alternative pipeline to […]
The AGRI LNG project plans to carry natural gas via pipeline from Azerbaijan to Georgia, where the gas will be liquefied, put on tankers and carried across the Black Sea to reach a regasification facility in Romania. The gas will subsequently be transported to Hungary via gas pipelines. Anadolu news agency from Turkey interviewed Sijbren […]
Net voor de feestdagen neemt de verkoop van consumentenelektronica een vlucht. Ik vroeg me af wat iedereen die een ‘technocadeau’ krijgt, doet met zijn oude spullen? Worden die netjes ingeleverd bij een inzamelpunt voor e-waste? Consumenten zijn steeds meer doordrongen van de milieudruk van de consumptiemaatschappij. Ons grondstoffengebruik loopt aan tegen de grenzen van de […]
