Migration, Culture Conflict, Crime and Terrorism
Immigration and its consequences is a substantially contested subject with hugely differing viewpoints.While some contend that criminal participation by migrants is the result of environmental factors found in the host country that are beyond the control of migrants, others blame migrants for all that is wrong in their communities.In this book, experts from Europe, the USA, Turkey and Israel examine recent developments in the fields of culture conflict, organized crime, victimization and terrorism, all of which intersect to varying degrees with migration and illegal conduct.While the essays further our understanding of a variety of issues surrounding migration, at the same time they illuminate the complexities of managing the challenges as globalization increases.

Antwerp and the Golden Age : Culture, Conflict and Commerce
A remarkable painting by the Antwerp painter Maerten de Vos, 'Moses Showing the Tablets of the Law to the Israelites', shows wealthy merchants, artists and poets, a ground-breaking botanist, a pioneer in women’s education, and the greatest publisher of the age gathered around a portrayal of Moses and Aaron with the stone tablets of the law engraved with the Ten Commandments in Dutch.In searching for an answer to the question of what brought together this diverse group of influential people in sixteenth-century Antwerp, Richard Willmott turns to their letters, diaries, friendship albums and poetry to write a group biography.As he finds out more about each life and explores the links that brought them together, he shows how a network of friendship and exchange of scholarly ideas that crossed the Channel and Europe’s borders lay behind the rich civilisation of sixteenth-century Antwerp, until it was destroyed by the struggle for political and religious power in the Eighty Years War when the Dutch fought the Spanish for independence.

What is a narcissistic culture of conflict?
A narcissistic culture of conflict is a social environment in which individuals prioritize their own needs, desires, and opinions above all else, often at the expense of others. In this culture, there is a lack of empathy and consideration for others, and a strong emphasis on winning, power, and control. Conflict is often fueled by a sense of entitlement, self-importance, and a need for validation and admiration. This can lead to toxic and destructive interpersonal dynamics, as well as a lack of cooperation and compromise in resolving conflicts.

Clan identities play a significant role in shaping social relationships and political dynamics, often leading to competition and violence between different groups. The presence of armed groups, such as Al-Shabaab, further exacerbates the conflict culture in the country.

Was Judaism a high culture before the conquest by the Romans and Egyptians?
Judaism was not considered a high culture in the traditional sense before the conquest by the Romans and Egyptians. It was a religious and cultural tradition practiced by a relatively small group of people in the ancient Near East. However, Judaism did have a rich and complex religious and intellectual tradition, with a strong emphasis on ethical monotheism, law, and prophetic literature. After the conquests by the Romans and Egyptians, Judaism began to interact with and influence the broader Hellenistic and Roman cultures, leading to the development of a more complex and influential religious and cultural tradition.

The Mosque Conflict in Catalonia : Space, Culture, and Capitalism
In The Mosque Conflict in Catalonia: Space, Culture, and Capitalism, Martin Lundsteen examines two paradigms around mosque conflicts—one of an analytical nature and the other of a political-technical nature.Lundsteen argues that both paradigms interpret conflicts culturally, as originating primarily in the symbolic realm.Though racism and xenophobia are certainly at the core of the issue, Lundsteen shows through the study of the conflict surrounding the mosque project in Premià de Mar (Barcelona) that other dimensions of utmost importance lurk behind these interpretations.This book constitutes an anthropological approach to the intersection of local-global processes of contemporary capitalism and emphasizes the understudied socio-spatial dimension of these conflicts.

Strategy Savvy : Balanced Strategy Development Approach Using Insights, Culture, Operations, and Digitization
With the COVID-19 pandemic, many business leaders question the need for strategy and the value of strategic planning and management in today’s environment.This book will demonstrate that our approach to strategy development and implementation needs to change to be able to help organizations change.The proposed new approach in this book can provide insights and perspectives to keep strategy relevant by "Putting Strategy in Action" through developing a "Making the Future Happen Today" way of thinking and living. Many strategy books focus on the perspective of large multinational corporations that have the capacity and capabilities to develop and implement a strategy using very structured methodologies and tools.This book will add a new dimension by focusing on the use of Strategy-as-Practice (SaP), intuition, and serendipity as important complements that can be used by large corporations as well as small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs to develop and implement winning strategies.This is an important dimension to support the strategic decision-making process that is frequently undermined in traditional strategic planning and management-focused books. The author theorizes that developing into a Strategy Savvy professional is about embracing two of the most important concepts in strategy development—Proactivity and Sustainability.This book addresses the opportunities and threats presented by VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) and how we can capitalize on those opportunities to create unprecedented growth opportunities in Society 5.0 that is shaping new economies, such as the Digital Economy, the Experience Economy, the Sharing Economy, the GIG Economy, the Purpose Economy and the Circular Economy.The author also proposes a new approach to strategy development and implementation that mixes formal planning with practice and intuition that is helped by serendipity.He presents a strategy that is driven by four propellers—insights, culture, operations, and digitization—to ensure arrival at a better future.

Which culture is the best culture in the world?
It is not appropriate to label any one culture as the "best" in the world as every culture has its own unique strengths and values. Each culture contributes to the diversity and richness of the world, and it is important to respect and appreciate the differences among them. Instead of comparing cultures, it is more valuable to learn from and celebrate the diversity of cultures around the world.

Why is Turkish culture often confused with Arab culture?
Turkish culture is often confused with Arab culture due to several factors. Firstly, both cultures are located in the Middle East and share some similarities in language, religion, and traditional customs. Additionally, there is a historical connection between the two regions through the Ottoman Empire, which had a significant influence on Arab countries. Furthermore, the media and popular culture often portray a homogenized view of the Middle East, leading to misconceptions and generalizations about the diverse cultures within the region. However, it is important to recognize and appreciate the distinct differences and unique aspects of Turkish and Arab cultures.

What is the difference between historical culture and memory culture?
Historical culture refers to the collective understanding and interpretation of historical events, traditions, and customs within a society. It encompasses the tangible and intangible aspects of a society's past, including artifacts, monuments, and rituals. Memory culture, on the other hand, focuses on the ways in which a society actively engages with and remembers its history. It involves the processes of commemoration, memorialization, and the transmission of historical knowledge through storytelling, education, and public discourse. While historical culture is the broader framework of a society's historical identity, memory culture is the active, dynamic practice of remembering and interpreting that history.
