The Netherlands is a country with traditions of both emigration and immigration. There are others in the common crucible of culture: migrants from former colonies (Indonesians, Surinams), economic migrants from the time of the economic boom in Europe in the ‘60s (Turks, Moroccans, the people of the former Yugoslavia, Italians, Spaniards), migrant workers from the European Union (Poles, Slovaks, Romanians, Bulgarians), highly qualifi ed employees of international organizations, managers of international companies, academic staff and finally the musicians and painters here who have chosen this as their place to live. The choice of this country as a case study of migratory phenomena is, therefore, by all means justifi ed. It is most interesting to look into Dutch society and see which groups of foreigners have settled in it and how they are perceived. The intent of this article is to pay special attention to the Poles who, in large numbers, after Poland’s accession to the European Union and upon access being granted to them to the Dutch labour market, chose this particular country as a “new home” for a shorter or longer period of time.

Information sources are considered a catalyst for innovation improvement, and because of this it is particularly important to learn more regarding their impact on innovation performance. Therefore, the goal of this research is to investigate to what extent the usage of different information sources influences internal and external R&D activities in three countries, Croatia, France and the Netherlands, by employing CIS data, which covers the period from 2006 to 2008. These countries were chosen because of the different levels of their country competitiveness (measured by the Global Competitiveness Index), which permits us to investigate if the usage of information sources has varying impact on their innovation performance. Our results reveal that internal sources, customers, suppliers and universities are important information sources for both internal and external R&D activities in all three countries. However, significant differences are also found. Firms from the Netherlands (which has the highest country competitiveness) use information sources differently, relying on competitors as one of their most important sources of innovation. On the other hand, the government did not have any impact on firms in Croatia (which has the lowest country competitiveness), indicating that this may be the reason for similar countries lagging behind.

The integration of immigrants and refugees (especially since the migration crisis) is at the heart of the world’s socio-political discourse. Acceptance of the arrivals by the receiving societies is nowadays in considerable doubt. The countries of the European Union (especially the so-called old Union) have found themselves at a crossroads. On the one hand, they want to respect their traditions, values such as tolerance and openness to „strangers,” while on the other hand, an alarmingly high percentage of European citizens do not accept the growing number of foreigners (especially those of Muslim origin) within their countries, according to statistical data. The article points out worrying, growing phenomena of racial discrimination, unequal treatment, and exclusion, making it difficult for immigrants and refugees to find themselves in a new reality for them, mainly blocking their integration in the new society.

The problem of discrimination and unequal treatment of women from culturally diverse backgrounds affects countries such as the Netherlands. The centuries of tolerance and openness to an “alien” seem to be ending. This is evidenced by numerous reports and scientific studies, statements from specialists, and experts on the issues of immigrant integration. Increasingly, feeling marginalised and deprived of development opportunities, immigrant or refugee women come to the fore. Some of them (those remaining in isolation) are represented by aid organisations, i.e. foundations, associations, volunteer groups, and the municipalities themselves. This article covers the existing issue of the increasing number of refugees and immigrants in the Netherlands, especially refugee and immigrant women towards whom, according to specialists, integration policy should be redefined.

Flood is not an episode in the history of the Netherlands, but a recurring fact of nature and social experience. The Dutch struggle against water (this metaphor seems to dominate the descriptions of the Netherlands) is not only troublesome and strenuous, but its significance also happens to be assessed in a positive way. In the literature indicated by the author, fascination with the capriciousness of the element of water and Dutch water engineering (satisfying a tourist‘s appetite?) takes prece‑ dence over the catastrophic and empathic discourse of lamentation. The article is an interpretation of the Dutch model of struggling against the element of water through the prism of anthropological categories of culture and nature. The exemplifications come from travel literature, tourist guides and scientific monographs, the reading of which shows that the mutual relationship (symbiosis) of the water element and cul‑ ture, the mentality of the Dutch who struggle with nature is the reoccurring conceptscheme. What is the main feature of the aquatic element is the ambivalent influence of water on Dutch culture. It is Dutch fairy tales that may prefigure this ambivalence.

Grammar books for L2-learners mostly follow grammatical themes, e.g. sentence – verb – conjunctions. However, when a L2-learner composes a text, he will probably focus more on the function he wants to express than the form he wants to use. In this article, functionality versus grammatical categories will be discussed in order to answer the question, whether and – if so – how German and Dutch students differ in their way of expressing causality in academic writing. An analysis of German Bachelor’s and Master’s theses written by German and Dutch students showed differences between these groups in their use of subcategories (word classes) and specific words for expressing causality. The absence of a functional structure and specific information about the use of causal connectives in grammar books can therefore be regarded asan important cause for these findings. Especially for advanced L2-learners of German it seems recommendable to organize grammar books to put a greater focus on function (rather than form).

The aim of the article is to identify and analyse the relationship between events in Ukraine in 2014 and changes in defense policies of selected European Union countries. The author assumes that at least some of the countries belonging to the European Union have changed their defense policy. They limited the reduction of defense expenditures and even started to increase them. Especially countries bordering on the Russian Federation. Verification of this hypothesis can be carried out on the basis of defense white papers published in 2014–2017 or similar documents. Moreover, by analyse of the actions which have been taken to implement the adopted assumptions. The neorealistic approach was considered to be the right research perspective.

Celem artykułu jest wskazanie relacji pomiędzy wydarzeniami, które miały miejsce na Ukrainie w 2014 roku i latach następnych, a zmianami w politykach obronnych wybranych państw Unii Europejskiej. Autor zakłada, że przynajmniej część z państw należących do Unii Europejskiej zmieniła swoją politykę obronną. Ograniczyła redukcję wydatków obronnych, a nawet rozpoczęła ich zwiększanie. Szczególnie w państwach graniczących z Federacją Rosyjską. Weryfikację tej hipotezy można przeprowadzić w oparciu o publikowane w latach 2014–2017 białe księgi obronności, lub dokumenty o tożsamym charakterze. Ponadto poprzez wskazanie działań (lub ich braku) realizowanych przez rządy państw zgodnie z przyjętymi założeniami. Za właściwą perspektywę badawczą uznano podejście neorealistyczne.

The purpose of this article is to present Hugo Grotius’s views concerning the idea of freedom. It must be pointed out that the idea of freedom was not the subject of a separate thought, except for the freedom of the seas, which Grotius dedicated a separate work. Theses on freedom were formulated in the light of other issues such as natural law or the essence and scope of state power. For this purpose, the first part of the article presents a historical background. In the second part, Grotius’s views will be presented in three contexts. First, freedom of the individual as power over oneself. Second, freedom in political terms, as a relationship of community. Finally freedom in the global aspect, as freedom of navigation, trade and migration.

Niniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest Marcinowi Lutrowi, znaczeniu jego pracy oraz postrzeganiu „Roku Lutra” w Holandii z ekumenicznej perspektywy. Czy istnieje ekumeniczna chęć do przeprowadzenia nowej oceny Reformacji? Czy możemy świętować pięćsetlecie protestantyzmu czy tylko pamiętać o tej rocznicy? Nie powinniśmy zapominać o ciemnych stronach Reformacji. Osobiście postrzegam Reformację jako retusz błogosławieństwa. Artykuł opisuje kilka ważnych doświadczeń w życiu Lutra. W roku 2017 potrzebujemy pełnego ekumenicznego zaangażowania jako kościoły przyszłości. Apeluję o to oraz o pozostawienie za sobą starych sporów i dążenie do zjednoczenia.

In this article, I focus on Martin Luther’s legacy and the ecumenical perspectives of the ‘Luther Year’ in the Netherlands. Is there willingness to re-evaluate the Reformation in an ecumenical perspective? Can we celebrate 500 years of Protestantismor just commemorate it? We should not forget the dark sides of the Reformation. I see the Reformation as a blessing in disguise. I summarize some important experiences in Luther’s life. In 2017, we need wholehearted ecumenical commitment as churches for the future. I make a plea for it, leaving behind our conflicts from the past and looking forward towards communion.

After analyzing the Czech literature of the second half of the 16th and the beginnings of the 17th century (historical, polemical, occasional, the “proto-journalism”; narrative as well as poetry; translations as well as original works), it can be stated that the Black Legend reflected also in the Czech Lands. Predominant were the themes of the Inquisition and other problems related to the confessionalization in Europe (the rebellion in the Netherlands aÝer the year 1566, the defeat of the “Invincible Army” in 1588, the religious wars in France) as well as in the New World. As for the focus of propagation of the anti-Spanish literature, it was not possible to localize it specifically, because there were numerous connections between non-Catholic Bohemians and different streams of European Protestantism of the period. However, majority of the most important connections were detected between the members of the Czech Unity of Brethren and the Calvinists in Geneva.

ES

Analizando la literatura checa de la segunda mitad del siglo XVI y principios del XVII (la histórica, la polémica, la ocasional, el “protoperiodismo”; la narrativa como también los versos; tanto traducciones como obras originales) se puede constatar que hubo manifestaciones de la leyenda negra también en los países checos. Prevalecían los temas de la Inquisición y cualquier otra problemática actual ligada con la confesionalización en Europa (la rebelión de los Países Bajos después de 1566, la derrota de la “Armada Invencible” en 1588, las guerras de religión en Francia), incluso su transmisión al Nuevo Mundo. En cuanto a los focos de irradiación de la literatura antiespañola, no se ha podido localizar uno único porque hubo múltiples conexiones de los no católicos checos con diferentes vertientes del protestantismo europeo en aquella época. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los lazos importantes se detecta entre los miembros de la Unidad de Hermanos Checos y los calvinistas de Ginebra.

Wraz z wybuchem Wielkiej Wojny powstała nowa “przestrzeń” — miejsce, w którym rozgrywały się różnego rodzaju wydarzenia równoległe do walki zbrojnej. Prowadziły do powstania nowych sieci zależności między instytucjami i aktorami indywidualnymi. Nie tylko w krajach okupowanych i walczących zbrojnie, ale i w tych neutralnych miała równolegle miejsce walka o przychylność opinii publicznej. W Niderlandach aktywne były biura prasowe państw walczących, których celem było zbieranie i dystrybucja wiadomości w sensie konwencjonalnym, dziennikarskim, choć z ukrytymi intencjami. Oprócz nich działalność prowadziły przedstawicielstwa prasowe innych krajów, między innymi Polski. Ich zadaniem było sprawienie, by ‘kwestia Polska’ była obecna na łamach niderlandzkiej prasy. Do najważniejszych instytucji należało Polskie Biuro Prasowe Zygmunta Gargasa i biuro prasowe pod auspicjami Naczelnego Komitetu Narodowego. Grały one częściowo również rolę w ‘psychologicznej wojnie’ niemieckiego aparatu propagandy.

EN

With the outbreak of the Great War, there arose a new “space”, in which various events took place, parallel to the armed struggle. They led to the development of new relational networks between institutions and individuals. Not only in the warring and the occupied countries, but also in the neutral states, besides the armed fight, an ardent battle took place for the favours of public opinion, waged by means of propaganda activities. In addition to the press agencies of the fighting countries active in the Netherlands, which were intended to collect and distribute news in a conventional journalistic sense (but with hidden intentions), there were also press representatives from other countries, including Poland. They made sure that the Polish question was present in the Dutch press. The most important among those institutions were Sigismund Gargas’s Poolsch Persbureau (Polish Press Office) and the news agency under the auspices of the Naczelny Komitet Narodowy (Supreme National Committee). In part, they also played a role in the ‘psychological warfare’ of the German propaganda apparatus.

NL

Met de uitbraak van de Grote Oorlog is een nieuwe ‘ruimte’ ontstaan waarin zijdelingse gebeurtenissen plaatsvonden. Ze leidden tot de ontwikkeling van nieuwe betrekkingsnetwerken tussen verschillende instituties en personen. Niet alleen in de gewapend strijdende en bezette landen, maar ook in de neutrale staten, vond er naast het gewapend gevecht ook een veerkrachtige strijd plaats door middel van propaganda-activiteiten om de gunsten van de publieke opinie. Behalve de in Nederland actieve persbureaus van de vechtende landen, die ten doel hadden nieuws te verzamelen en distribueren in een conventionele, journalistieke zin (echter met verborgen intenties), waren er ook persvertegenwoordigers van andere landen actief, waaronder Polen. Ze zorgden ervoor dat de Poolse kwestie in de Nederlandse pers aanwezig was. De belangrijkste instellingen waren het Poolsch Persbureau van Sigismund Gargas en het persbureau onder de auspiciën van het Nationaal Hoofdcomité. Gedeeltelijk speelden ze ook een rol in de “psychologische oorlogvoering” van de Duitse propaganda-apparaat.

Este artículo reconstruye la misión de espionaje naval llevada a cabo entre 1778 y 1780 en Francia, Inglaterra y Países Bajos por el futuro virrey de Nueva Granada y Perú, así como Ministro de Marina de España, Francisco Gil y Lemos. La misión de Gil y Lemos, hasta la fecha ignorada por la historiografía, fue ordenada por el conde de Floridablanca, a la sazón Primer Secretario de Estado de España, con el objeto de conocer el estado de las fuerzas navales de Francia e Inglaterra y así determinar con conocimiento de causa si a España le convenía o no entrar en la Guerra de Independencia de los Estados Unidos de América. Como se demuestra en este artículo, gracias a la misión de Gil y Lemos, así como a la actividad de las Embajadas de España en París y Londres y a la red de agentes de la que disponía Madrid en Inglaterra, las autoridades españolas lograron obtener información sumamente exacta sobre las fuerzas navales británicas y francesas, así como sobre su estado de preparación, armamento y la respectiva disponibilidad de pertrechos. Ello fue un factor determinante en el ingreso de España en la guerra del lado del bando que finalmente resultó victorioso. Este artículo no sólo presenta información novedosa sobre el espionaje naval y diplomático de la época, sino también sobre los aprestos navales llevados a cabo por España, Francia e Inglaterra durante el conflicto. Asimismo, contribuye a clarificar el proceso de decisión interno que llevó a la entrada de España en la Guerra de Independencia de Estados Unidos del lado de los rebeldes americanos y ofrece nuevos testimonios tanto sobre la conocida rivalidad entre el conde de Floridablanca y el conde de Aranda −en esos momentos Embajador de España en París− como sobre la desconfianza que reinaba entre las Cortes de Madrid y París pese al Tercer Pacto de Familia.

This article studies the espionage mission undertaken by the future Viceroy of Nueva Granada and Peru and Spanish Navy Minister Francisco Gil y Lemos to France and Britain in 1778-1780. The principal aim of this mission, ordered by the Count of Floridablanca, at the time Spanish Prime Minister, was to inquire into the relative naval strength of France and Britain, in order to determine whether it was in Spain's interest to join the American War of Independence. The article shows that thanks to Francisco Gil y Lemos, the Spanish Embassies in Paris and London and Spain's network of spies in England, the authorities in Madrid were able to obtain exceedingly precise information about the strength, preparedness and availability of supplies of the French and British navies. This information was to prove of crucial importance in determining Spain's entry into the war on the side of the future victors. This article not only provides novel information regarding naval and diplomatic espionage between the belligerent powers, but also about the naval preparations in the run-up and early stages of the conflict. Furthermore, it helps shed light on the decision-making process which led to Spain’s entry into the war, reveals the distrust which reigned between Paris and Madrid despite being bound by a treaty of alliance, and provides further proof of the intense political rivalry between the Count of Floridablanca and the Count of Aranda, at the time Spanish Ambassador in Paris.
