Description
A quarter of a century ago His Royal Highness Prince Claus of the Netherlands (1926-2002) formulated his statements on 'development and equity'. To honour him and his work, a professorial chair in 'development and equity' was established in 2003: the 'Prince Claus Chair'. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Chair, a conference was held in The Hague in November 2012. Each of the ten chair holders presented a paper written from his/her own perspective. These papers have been brought together in this book and show the diversity and richness of the theme. The volume also includes three essays by the promising young scholars who were judged to be the top three in a competition for the best Master's thesis in 'development, equity and citizenship'.
