Focal point
Location
National Academic Research and Collaborations Information System (NARCIS) is the main Dutch national portal for those looking for information about researchers and their work. NARCIS aggregates data from around 30 institutional repositories. Besides researchers, NARCIS is also used by students, journalists and people working in educational and government institutions as well as the business sector.
NARCIS provides access to scientific information, including (open access) publications from the repositories of all the Dutch universities, KNAW, NWO and a number of research institutes, datasets from some data archives as well as descriptions of research projects, researchers and research institutes.
This means that NARCIS cannot be used as an entry point to access complete overviews of publications of researchers (yet). However, there are more institutions that make all their scientific publications accessible via NARCIS. By doing so, it will become possible to create much more complete publication lists of researchers.
In 2004, the development of NARCIS started as a cooperation project of KNAW Research Information, NWO, VSNU and METIS, as part of the development of services within the DARE programme of SURFfoundation. This project resulted in the NARCIS portal, in which the DAREnet service was incorporated in January 2007. NARCIS has been part of DANS since 2011.
DANS - Data Archiving and Networked Services - is the Netherlands Institute for permanent access to digital research resources. DANS encourages researchers to make their digital research data and related outputs Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable.

Displaying 986 - 990 of 1863The assertion of rights to agro-pastoral land in North Cameroon: a cascade to violence?
What are the key causalities in the linkages between environmental resource scarcity, the non-violent assertion of rights to the environment and the (non) avoidance of violence itself? Focusing on the natural resource land, the author studies three different cases of conflict over land at the local level in Diamar‚, Baba Deli and Kubadje, in the extreme north of Cameroon, from 2001 to 2004, using different sociological, geographical and anthropological methods.
Democracy compromised: chiefs and the politics of the land in South Africa
This book offers a historical analysis of the embattled structures of rural local governance in South Africa, with specific reference to the role of traditional authorities in Xhalanga in the Eastern Cape. More specifically, the book illustrates how at least in the Xhalanga district chieftainship was contested from the establishment of the district in 1865 to the advent of democracy in South Africa.
Competing jurisdictions: settling land claims in Africa
The papers included in this volume were earlier presented at a conference on the settlement of land claims in Africa, which was held in Amsterdam in September 2003. The papers are written primarily from an anthropological perspective.
Een nota ruimte met nieuwe vergezichten, maar kijk eens een andere kant uit... : oproep tot vakdebat over ruimtelijke ordening
Door onderzoekers Wagegeningen UR is uitgebreid kennis genomen van de Nota Ruimte, de WRO2, de wijze van totstandkoming en de ontwikkelingen in de praktijk. Het is hen opgevallen dat de koerswijziging in een erg kleine kring is voorbereid en uitgewerkt. Vakdebatten zijn achterwege gebleven, er is niet of nauwelijks inspraak en er is in zeer beperkte mate geluisterd naar de buitenwereld. Daarom een oproep tot een vakdebat. In dit vakdebat zien ze belangrijke rollen voor universiteiten, Ruimtelijk Planbureau en beroepsverenigingen.
