Bøger af Paul van der Velde

With the help of generous excerpts from Jacob Gotfried Haafner's own writings, including material newly translated into English, this book tells an affecting story of a young man who made a world for himself along the Coromandel Coast, in Ceylon and Calcutta, but who returned to Europe to live the last years of his life.

This volume addresses questions of importance to the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) process and to the involvement of the private sector, including: what role can Europe and Asia play in managing an integrated global economy?; and how can the full potential of ASEM be realized?
