title = "Dealing with Dualities: The Daily Life of a Dutch King{\textquoteright}s Commissioner",
abstract = "In this chapter we set out to describe the work and craft of a King{\textquoteright}s Commissioner (KC) in The Netherlands. Using a single case study design, based on diary analysis, interviews and document analysis, we argue that the office is highly personal and contextual in nature. KCs have considerable leeway in shaping their role, structured by the legal, political, economic, inter-personal and media realities of the situation. In our view, the incumbent KC needs to come to terms with at least three simultaneous dualities that require intentional role-taking: acting in-between national and provincial duties; in-between the province and various sub-regions within the province; and finally in-between the {\textquoteleft}positional{\textquoteright} and {\textquoteleft}personal{\textquoteright} interpretation of the office.",
