Codex Vaticanus is often regarded as a pillar of New Testament scholarship, ancient, authoritative, and decisive. In From Erasmus to Maius: The History of Codex Vaticanus in New Testament Textual Scholarship (de Gruyter, 2024) published by De Gruyter in 2024, Dr An-Ting Yi shows that this status was anything but inevitable.Rather than focusing on the manuscript's text, Dr Yi traces how Vaticanus gradually became authoritative. For centuries, it was known but rarely usable, constrained by restricted access, archival control, and scholarly methods that could not yet make sense of it. Only with nineteenth-century methodological shifts and, crucially, with its first printed edition did Vaticanus acquire the authority it now seems always to have had. The book's core insight is simple and powerful. Manuscripts do not possess fixed authority. They gain it through methods, institutions, and infrastructures. Well argued and meticulously researched, Dr Yi's study is less about a single manuscript than about how scholarly canons are formed, stabilised, and remembered. From Erasmus to Maius invites readers to rethink not only textual criticism but also the construction of academic authority. Amisah Bakuri (PhD) is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her work explores the intersections of religion, sexuality, gender, and migration, especially within African diasporic communities in the Netherlands. Learn more about your ad choices.

Familie-vastgoedbedrijven dreigen fiscaal kopje-onder te gaan. Door het stapelen van maatregelen loopt de belastingdruk bij de overdracht naar een volgende generatie op tot een duizelingwekkende 70 procent. Deze aflevering in het kort:☑️ Torenhoge belasting bij overdracht familie-vastgoedbedrijven remt continuïteit☑️ IMF-rapport: zonder rendement valt de middenhuur volledig stil☑️ Hypotheekrenteaftrek dreigt chaos te veroorzaken vanaf 2031 Familie-vastgoedbedrijven zijn de stille motor in binnensteden: ze transformeren, verduurzamen en ontwikkelen voor de lange termijn. Maar sinds 2024 ziet de fiscus álle verhuurde stenen als beleggingsvermogen. Het gevolg? Bij overdracht naar de volgende generatie kan de belastingdruk oplopen tot 70 procent van de waarde. Dan is er volgens Barbara Baarsma en Edwin Sarkinovic van PwC sprake van een situatie die bijna doet denken aan onteigening. In deze aflevering hoor je hoe BOR, DSR en de nieuwe beleggingsfictie in elkaar grijpen, waarom buitenlandse investeerders al zijn afgehaakt en hoe Nederlandse families nu onder stoom en kokend water moeten verkopen.

«Rotwelsch» sind verschiedene, miteinander verwandte Sprechweisen von gesellschaftlichen Randgruppen im deutschen Sprachraum, die sich über Jahrhunderte parallel entwickelt haben. Ein neues Wörterbuch gibt Einblicke in diese Sondersprachen und regt zum Nachdenken über Sprache und Gesellschaft an. Das «Wörterbuch deutscher Geheimsprachen» von Klaus Siewert versammelt Tausende Wörter aus rund 70 verschiedenen Rotwelsch-Dialekten. Deren gemeinsamer Vorfahr ist eine mittelalterliche Sondersprache von Bettlern, Fahrenden, Prostituierten und anderen Gruppen, die von der Mehrheitsgesellschaft diskriminiert und an den Rand gedrängt wurden. In der Sendung werfen wir einen vertieften Blick ins Wörterbuch anhand diverser Beispiele, die es auch in die Schweizer Mundarten des Alltags geschafft haben: etwa «Beiz», «Kaff» oder «Tschugger». Neben den Bedeutungen der einzelnen Rotwelsch-Begriffe liefert das Wörterbuch auch Erklärungen zu deren Entstehung, was anschaulich macht, wie viele verschiedene sprachliche Einflüsse im Rotwelschen zusammenkommen – und wie sprachschöpferisch kreativ diese Sprachen verfahren. Man stösst auf ursprüngliche Lehnwörter: Der berndeutsche Ausdruck «Ligu Lehm» für ein Stück Brot geht beispielsweise zurück aufs hebräische Wort «lechem» («Brot»). Es gibt zahlreiche Ableitungen (der Fisch wird zum «Flössling») und Neukombinationen von Wörtern, die zwar den Regeln der deutschsprachigen Wortbildung folgen, aber trotzdem kaum verständlich sind. Der deutsche Linguist und Rotwelsch-Forscher Christian Efing gibt in der Sendung Auskunft über Status und Bedeutung des Rotwelschen für verschiedene Sprechergruppen und den sozialgeschichtlichen Hintergrund, der die Arbeit an solchen Wörterbüchern erschwert. Seit 2025 stehen die Rotwelsch-Dialekte auf der deutschen UNESCO-Liste des immateriellen Kulturerbes. Ausserdem erklären wir gegen Ende der Sendung die Herkunft und Bedeutung der Familiennamen Felder, Imfeld, Fanger und Infanger.

De Tweede Kamer wil een onderzoek naar landwinning in het Markermeer, bedoeld om de woningnood te breken. Het inpolderen staat daarmee weer op de kaart.Deze aflevering in het kort:☑️ De politieke roep om nieuwe polders in het Markermeer ☑️ De enorme kosten en ecologische risico's bij nieuwe landwinning.☑️ Mövenpick-hotels heeft forse huurachterstand n miljoenenachterstand opgebouwd bij vastgoedeigenaar DekaStaat Nederland aan de vooravond van een nieuwe polderrevolutie? De Tweede Kamer kijkt met hernieuwde interesse naar het Markermeer om tienduizenden woningen te realiseren. In deze aflevering duiken we met historicus Eva Vriend in de diepe geschiedenis van onze maakbaarheidsdrang. Aan de hand van haar boek De Waterzoon ontleden we het spanningsveld tussen de technocratische Jo Thijsse, die Nederland met beton en dijken vormgaf, en zijn vader Jac. P., die vocht voor elke grasspriet. Wat betekent hun nalatenschap voor de projectontwikkelaars en beleidsmakers van vandaag die dromen van steden in het water?

Ze is Europacorrespondent, NRC-columnist en dé autoriteit op het gebied van de Europese ziel: Caroline de Gruyter. Vandaag schuift ze aan bij de twee grootste zondagskinderen van Nederland. Wij groeiden op in het veiligste continent ter wereld, vrij van reële angsten. Maar zijn we daardoor simpelweg verwend geraakt? Op de vraag 'ga je naar het front?' antwoorden we massaal 'nee'. We hebben ons te lang in slaap laten sussen. Tien jaar geleden kraaide er geen haan naar een Europees leger maar nu staan defensie en veiligheid bovenaan de agenda. Caroline legt uit waarom hoe de wereld is veranderd en of de NAVO en wijzelf dit gaan overleven.Centraal Beheer helpt je met het regelen van de juiste zakelijke verzekeringen, zodat jij zorgeloos kunt ondernemen.

De prefab-revolutie hapert. Terwijl de overheid tienduizenden woningen eist, staan de fabrieken die ze snel kunnen maken met hun rug tegen de muur. Deze aflevering in het kort ☑️ De paradox van lege orderportefeuilles in tijden van woningnood ☑️ Een analyse van de overlevingskansen van prefab-bouwers ☑️ Uitponden zorgt voor meer aanbodDe droom van de woningbouwfabriek spat uiteen tegen de harde muur van de realiteit. Terwijl we in Nederland snakken naar honderdduizenden nieuwe woningen, draaien de hypermoderne hallen waar deze huizen van de band moeten rollen op halve kracht. Harry van Zandwijk is de CEO van Daiwa House Modular Europe, een van oorsprong Japans bedrijf dat in Nederland actief is met vier vestigingen. Hij legt de vinger op de zere plek: de onvoorspelbaarheid van de overheid en de trage vergunningverlening nekken deze innovatie. Bedrijven investeren veel geld in nieuwe productielijnen en kunnen het zich eigenlijk niet veroorloven dat deze voor een deel stilstaan.

According to a widespread Islamic tradition, when Adam was expelled from the garden of Eden he fell to earth on Sarandib (now Sri Lanka). In this episode, we hear how this tradition was interpreted in India through the monumental Arabic work, Subhat al-Marjan (The Coral Rosary). Since Arabic isn't often associated with India, we begin by sketching the history of the language in the region. Next, we turn to the biography of Ghulam Ali Azad Bilgrami (1704-86), the author of Subhat al-Marjan who lived during an age of massive political disruption as the Mughal Empire fell apart. Withdrawing to the library of a Sufi monastery in Aurangabad, Azad Bilgrami spent years studying the evidence that linked India to Adam, the Prophet Muhammad, and other key figures of Islamic sacred history. We learn how in his masterpiece Bilgrami brought all this evidence together with the artistry that earned him the moniker Hassan al-Hind (the Hassan of India) for his skills in Arabic. Nile Green talks to Andrea Maria Negri, author of A Mirror of Arabic Language and Literature in India: Gulām ʿAlī Āzād Bilgrāmī's Subhat al-margān fī ātār Hindūstān (De Gruyter, 2026).

For more than two centuries, economists and researchers have struggled with the conundrum of reconciling Adam Smith's views on economics and ethics. While some held that Smith's capitalism and free markets institutionalized selfishness, greed, inequality and injustice, others focused on his theory of the moral nature of all human persons and the application of conscience and self-restraint in capitalist activities. Adam Smith and Modern Economics: Reclaiming the Moral High Ground (de Gruyter, 2026) suggests that neither of these two conventional understandings alone is accurate and conducive to human flourishing. Smith put markets in the context of morality, observing that markets serve best when our moral sentiments are followed. Learn more about your ad choices.

Projectontwikkelaars hebben te maken met strenge regelgeving, stijgende kosten en een stapeling van bouweisen. Hoe houdt een grote speler als Amvest de koers recht in deze marktomstandighedenDeze aflevering in het kort:☑️ Amvest balanceert tussen betaalbaar bouwen en rendement☑️ Heleen Aarts waarschuwt: stapeling van eisen maakt projecten moeilijker haalbaar☑️ Aanpassingen voor de wet middenhuurIn deze aflevering spreken we met Heleen Aarts, topvrouw van Amvest. Dit vastgoedbedrijf ontwikkelt woonwijken en beheert 22.000 huurwoningen. Daarmee zit Amvest midden in het speelveld van beleid en markt. Aarts vertelt over de financiering van gebiedsontwikkeling, waarbij pensioenfondsen een belangrijke rol spelen. Ook de gesprekken met gemeenten komen langs. Die verwachten steeds meer van spelers zoals Amvest, zoals betaalbaarheid, duurzaamheid én leefbare wijken. De stapeling van eisen is vaak de nekslag voor projecten, vertelt ze. Hierdoor wordt het steeds lastiger om plannen financieel rond te krijgen en daadwerkelijk te bouwen.

We leven in Nederland al 81 jaar in vrijheid en dus hebben met afstand de meeste Nederlanders nooit een oorlog meegemaakt. Caroline de Gruyter zoekt in haar nieuwe boek 'Zondagskinderen' naar een antwoord op de vraag wat zoveel tijd in vrede met ons gedaan heeft. Jan Willem Wesselink gaat met De Gruyter in gesprek.

De rol van banken in de vastgoedfinanciering staat onder druk. Terwijl traditionele geldverstrekkers zich verder terugtrekken, staan nieuwe spelers klaar om het gat te vullen. Deze aflevering in het kort: ☑️ Niet-bancair vastgoed financieren maakt opmars ☑️ De impact van de oorlog in het Midden-Oosten op de vastgoedmarkt ☑️ Hoe lezen we de recente Kamerbrief over de woondeals? Vastgoed Gezocht komt deze keer vanaf de vastgoedvakbeurs Finvast in Amsterdam. Met Daan Reekers van Adelaer duiken we in de snelle opkomst van niet-bancaire financiers. De vraag die centraal staat: is alternatieve financiering inmiddels het nieuwe normaal in vastgoedland? Dat is nog net iets te kort door de bocht, maar volgens Reekers verschuift de markt wel razendsnel deze kant op. Banken hebben te maken met strengere regels en kiezen vaker voor minder risicovolle leningen, terwijl vastgoed juist kapitaalintensief blijft. Zo verandert niet alleen de bron van financiering, maar ook de manier waarop deals worden gestructureerd.

In 1976 near the ruins of the ancient capital Yin, archaeologists rediscovered the tomb of Fu Hao and it transformed our understanding of the Shang Dynasty. Most royal tombs were ravaged by looters, but the final resting place of Fu Hao remained perfectly preserved. Now we know in addition to her duties as queen, she was also a military general, priestess, and she managed lands of her own. For Women's History Month, learn about the life of this legendary figure through the contents of her tomb. From bronze Yue axes symbolizing her military authority to the world's oldest jade archery ring to trade goods from far off lands, learn about some of the artifacts that helped us rediscover a warrior queen from the first dynasty of Ancient China.

How do people justify what others see as transgression? Taking that question to the Persian-Muslim and Latin-Christian worlds over the period 1200 to 1700, Justifying Transgression: Muslims, Christians, and the Law - 1200 to 1700(de Gruyter, 2023) shows that people in both these worlds invested considerable energy in worrying, debating, and writing about proscribed practices. It compares how people in the two worlds came to terms with the proscriptions of sodomy, idolatry, and usury. When historians speak of the gap between premodern practice and the legal theory of the time, they tend to ignore the myriad of justifications that filled this gap. Moreover, a focus on justification evens out many of the contrasts that have been alleged to exist between the two worlds, or the Muslim and Christian worlds more generally. The similarities outweigh the differences in the ways people came to terms with the various rules of divine law. The level of flexibility of the theologians and jurists in charge of divine law varied more over time and by topic than between the two worlds. Both worlds also saw the development of ever more sophisticated justifications. Amid the increasing complexity of justifications, a particular kind of reasoning emerged: that good outcomes are more important than upholding rules for their own sake.

Europa is geen vredig zondagskind meer en uitgerekend Trump en de oorlog met Iran dwingt ons dat eindelijk onder ogen te zien. Dat stelt columnist en EU-correspondent Caroline de Gruyter in de nieuwe aflevering van Europa Draait Door. In haar nieuwe boek ‘Zondagskinderen', laat De Gruyter zien hoe tachtig jaar vrede de Europeanen ‘misvormd' heeft: ze herkennen oorlog niet eens meer als hij voor de voordeur staat. Terwijl Trump Europa onder druk zet om schepen naar de Straat van Hormuz te sturen en EU-leiders opvallend eensgezind ‘nee' zeggen, zoekt Europa uit of dit nu het moment is waarop zij eindelijk haar strategische stem vindt. Of dat zij straks weer in slaap sukkelt zodra de storm in Washington gaat liggen. Verder aandacht voor IJsland, waar een referendum over EU-toetreding. Dat en véél meer in een nieuwe aflevering van Europa Draait Door. Shownotes:                                                                                                  Hongaars veto over Oekraïne-lening is volgens Jetten 'onacceptabel' (FD)     Met elke bom op Iran vindt Europa meer zijn stem (NRC)                         Why Hormuz    will haunt us long after this war ends (Financial Times)     Nu de wereld ruiger wordt, zoekt ook IJsland toenadering tot de EU      (Het Parool)     Balcony MIXTAPE (YouTube)     

Oorlog in Europa leek na de val van de muur voorgoed verleden tijd. Wat heeft tachtig jaar vrede gedaan met een ooit militaristisch continent? En wat betekent het om vrede niet langer voor lief te nemen? In gesprek met Caroline de Gruyter naar aanleiding van haar boek Zondagskinderen.In Zondagskinderen onderzoekt journalist Caroline de Gruyter wat het betekent om in vrede te leven. Vanuit haar ervaring als correspondent laat zij zien hoe acht decennia zonder oorlog onze Europese samenlevingen hebben gevormd en welke patronen en aannames zijn ingesleten in een continent dat geloofde dat ‘nooit meer oorlog' een eindstation was.Caroline de Gruyter (1963) schrijft al ruim twintig jaar over Europa, onder meer vanuit Brussel en Wenen. Ze is columnist en correspondent van NRC en publiceert ook in onder meer De Standaard, Foreign Policy en The New York Times.

Dit keer bespreken we hoe Europa heeft liggen slapen, bij Oekraïne en nu ook Iran. Na ruim 80 jaar vrede zijn we vergeten wat oorlog is, zegt onze hoofdgast Caroline de Gruyter, die er een boek over schreef: ‘Zondagskinderen. Europeanen, oorlog en vrede'. Door Poetins oorlog in Oekraïne en Trump's geopolitieke grillen worden we nu langzaam wakker. Hoe beïnvloedt de roze bril waarmee we zijn opgegroeid onze reactie op de groeiende oorlogsdreiging? En kunnen we het tij nog keren? We kijken in dit licht ook naar onze reactie op de oorlog tegen Iran, waar we als we niet oppassen in worden meegezogen. Verlammen we of komen we in beweging? Annette van Soest bespreekt het met onze hoofdgast, die naast schrijver ook Europa-commentator is voor NRC, en met Stefan de Vries, Europa-verslaggever voor onder meer BNR en Pauw & de Wit en stamgast van het café.

Wij Europeanen hebben de afgelopen tachtig jaar afgeleerd waar we in de eeuwen daarvoor nog zo intens mee bezig waren. Oorlog voeren. Met de Europese samenwerking namen we afscheid van de geschiedenis. Oorlog was iets van anderen en bij anderen. Als Europeanen slaagden we er in conflicten op te knippen in technische compromissen en zo keer op keer te depolitiseren. Zelfs het gedurige geklaag over die technocratie, de slappe compromissen en 'te weinig democratie' hoorde bij de succesvolle lessen uit die historie. Maar de geschiedenis is terug, zij beukt onstuitbaar op onze deur. Caroline de Gruyter schreef er een boek over: Zondagskinderen. Ze is te gast bij Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show!

Jetten en zijn team zullen geen 'zondagskinderen’ meer zijn. De Franse denker Raymond Aron zei het al: "Connaître le passé est une manière de s'en liberer", noteert De Gruyter. Wie het verleden kent, kan zich ervan bevrijden. Want de oorlog in Oekraïne is veel meer dan die in Joegoslavië destijds 'onze oorlog'. Dat hier de rol van Rusland als koloniaal imperium een cruciaal verschil vormt, werd eigenlijk pas vier jaar geleden een nieuw besef. De gevolgen voor de Europese Unie zijn ingrijpend, maar zien we dat al scherp genoeg? Keer op keer zien we dat crises ertoe leiden dat de urgentie zo hoog wordt, dat alleen oplossingen op bovennationaal niveau een uitweg vormen. Jean Monnet had dat al door in 1951 bij de oprichting van de Europese Gemeenschap voor Kolen en Staal. Jacques Delors bij de val van de Muur met de Interne Markt. Angela Merkel bij de pandemie en de vluchtelingencrisis en nu staat de EU voor een vergelijkbare uitdaging omdat de Verenigde Staten noch Rusland een betrouwbare partner meer is. De veiligheidsgaranties die wij Oekraïne willen geven, geeft Kyiv de facto ook aan ons, zoals Volodymyr Zelensky fijntjes opmerkte tijdens de veiligheidsconferentie in München. Eigenlijk gaat alles zo op de schop. Ook de Frans-Duitse as. Ineens is niet Frankrijk de militaire, geopolitieke actor, maar treedt Friedrich Merz zo op. Ineens zou de radicaal-rechtse Jordan Bardella zich kunnen ontpoppen als een soort Giorgia Meloni in Parijs. Ineens worden nieuwe organisaties ingericht om de nieuwe uitdagingen het hoofd te bieden: een EU-Veiligheidsraad, een soort Europese Defensiegemeenschap - die in 1954 zo tragisch mislukte - en supranationale vormen van hightech militaire industrie. De Gruyter ziet één land dat hier allang de knop heeft omgezet. Eigenlijk kón Finland nooit anders, wilde het overleven. Of het nu hybride aanvallen, manipulaties via fake news of militaire en politieke intimidatie betreft, de Finnen waren er altijd tegen bewapend. Dat zij meteen de kans grepen toen ze EU-lid en recent ook NAVO-lid konden worden, is voor hen vanzelfsprekend. ‘Se-cu-ri-ty’ zoals een Fin het wat hem betreft allesoverheersende motief formuleerde. Dat juist nu president Alexander Stubb als een heldere, invloedrijke stem op het wereldtoneel klinkt kan dan ook niet verrassen. Hij kan als geen ander uiteenzetten hoezeer Europeanen anders moeten gaan denken over de nieuwe realiteit. Volgens De Gruyter laat de weerklank van Zelensky's moed en van Stubbs betoog zien dat veel Europese burgers al veel verder zijn dan vele nationale leiders durven denken. Dat de Litouwse oud-premier Andrius Kubilius net zo optreedt als Stubb kan evenmin verbazen. Zijn kleine Baltische land heeft nog erger geleden onder Russisch koloniaal imperialisme dan Finland. De Gruyter wijst op iemand die dit aspect al decennia geleden agendeerde: Otto von Habsburg. De kleinzoon van de laatste keizer in Wenen kende als geen ander de wortels van de machtspolitiek van de 18e en 19e eeuw en de rol van Rusland als koloniaal imperium. Kubilius probeert als Eurocommissaris voor defensiesamenwerking die lessen te vertalen naar het Europa van onze tijd. Een Europa dat mentaal en materieel nog maar net is wakker geschud. De Gruyter diepte dit uit met een van diens meest invloedrijke adviseurs achter de schermen, Klaus Welle, een Duitser die ook dicht bij Merz staat. Die wijst erop dat een aantal EU-lidstaten die met Duitsland altijd argwanend stonden tegenover gezamenlijke initiatieven zoals 'eurobonds' nu 180 graden gedraaid zijn. Van de lange tijd nogal eurosceptische Deense premier Mette Frederiksen tot de van nature conservatieve Bundesbank. Alleen het kabinet-Schoof wilde er officieel niets van weten. Ook hier een majeure uitdaging voor Jetten en zijn ploeg. Dilan Yesilgöz (Defensie) en Tom Berendsen (Buitenlandse Zaken) zullen in Europa, in de NAVO en breder geopolitiek minstens zo offensief en doelgericht moeten gaan werken als Jetten en Eelco Heinen (Financiën). De Europese Veiligheidsraad in opbouw, de 'E6' van de grote economieën in Europa en de bouw van een eigen Europese pijler binnen de NAVO zullen veel van hen vergen. Onberekenbare onrust rond de Caraïben in ons koninkrijk niet minder, wellicht. Want pogingen vanuit de MAGA-hoek om de EU te splijten en te vervangen door een losse federatie van Orbánachtige patriottische staten laten één ding zien. Net als het Kremlin is Donald Trumps Amerika bang voor een EU als succesverhaal; als model van effectieve samenwerking.

Today we are joined by Luiz Guilherme Burlamaqui, author of The Making of Global FIFA: Cold War Politics and the Rise of João Havelange to the FIFA Presidency, 1950-1974 (De Gruyter, 2023). This book was previously published in Portuguese as A Dança das Cadeiras a eleição de João Havelange à presidenência da FIFA (1950-1974). In our conversation, we discussed João Havelange's rise to FIFA's presidency, how the FIFA leader crafted his own legacy, and the difficulties of publishing work in translation. In The Making of Global FIFA, Burlamaqui argues that while Havelange was the FIFA president that signed the first deal with Coca Cola, his election was not a radical departure from “pure” football into commercialization. Far from a tale of British stiffness and Brazilian flexibility, Burlamaqui shows a longer and interconnected history of FIFA's global expansion. Former FIFA president Stanley Rous was less conservative than critics alleged. Havelange was more conservative than many assumed, happy to work with entrenched forces across the political and sporting worlds. Burlamaqui conducted extensive archival research in Brazil, the UK, and at FIFA and the IOC in Switzerland. His compelling argument demonstrates the contingency of Havelange's rise. His success was tied intimately to the domestic politics of the military regime and diplomatic efforts of Brazil in the 1970s. He was also the beneficiary of global forces: the Cold War, decolonization, and the growing resistance to racial oppression. Unlike many other sports scholars, Burlamaqui also argues that what happened on the field mattered: Havelange relied on the field prowess of the seleção. The book proceeds chronologically. The first chapter shines a new light on FIFA President Stanley Rous. Rous steered FIFA from the middle – between the conservatism of Swiss Ernst Thommen and the radicalism of the Yugoslavian Mihailo Andrejevic. Burlamaqui thus characterizes Rous' tenure as setting the stage for Havelange's globalization. Chapters 2 and 3 offer biographical examinations of Havelange and situate his personal history into the broader story of Brazil and the globe. His rise in Brazil's sportocracy was not simple: he served on both the Brazilian Olympic Committee and the Brazilian Sports Confederation. In the latter, he was heavily criticized for Brazil's failure at the 1966 World Cup. Yet Havelange benefitted from the interplay between the Brazilian business and military communities during the military regime (1964-1985). In preparation for the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, Havelange developed a “Mexico Plan” and gambled his success on a seleção victory. When the national team delivered and raised the Jules Rimet for the third time, Havelange cemented his position. Chapter 4 is the crux of the book, where Burlamaqui shows how decolonization, ideas about development, and the myth of Brazilian racial equality intersected to make the Brazilain sportocrat a strong candidate for FIFA's 1974 Presidential election. Havelange campaigned with the support of his allies at home and abroad. He sold a particular vision of Brazil: a model of developed decolonization that was charting a third path between the United States and the Soviet Union. He appealed especially to FIFA officials from the “Third World”, sending emissaries to Africa and Asia, and even allegedly helping to pay off some of their FIFA dues to win their votes. In chapter 5, Burlamaqui explains who voted for Havelange. Havelange mobilized support from new FIFA countries, benefiting from the rise of China, the support of the communist bloc, and the disunity of Europe. Burlamaqui's deeply researched and convincing account opens new avenues for research into sports bureaucrats. The Making of Global FIFA: Cold War Politics and the Rise of João Havelange to the FIFA Presidency, 1950-1974 will be of interest to scholars interested in global football, FIFA, and sports diplomacy.

Welfare Work Without Welfare: Women and Austerity in Interwar Bucharest (De Gruyter Oldenbourg, 2025) argues that women activists, wage workers, and homemakers in the Romanian capital Bucharest became de facto social workers in the interwar period through their "austerity welfare work". Revealing links and tensions between the performers of different types of underpaid or unpaid austerity welfare work, each empirical chapter focuses on a key domain: - knowledge production about social problems by "women welfare activist" (professional social workers, lay experts, left wing militants); - municipal-level social assistance policy, with emphasis on a pioneering generation of women local politicians in shaping welfare practices; - paid household work by underpaid servants; - unpaid household work by homemakers or precariously employed women in working class communities. The book offers a novel interpretation of state-society relations after the First World War, showing that unpaid labor and gender relations were crucial in responding to economic crisis in an Eastern European urban setting and beyond. At once a local and transnational history of women's work, Welfare Work Without Welfare contributes to the historicization of social reproduction work and to the rethinking of the history of welfare states.
