Andeweg and Cohen de Lara (1999b) is an abridged version of their (1999a) bibliography, to be used in conjunction with Daalder (1989). This bibliography builds on Andeweg and Cohen de Lara (1999a) and covers publications from 1998 through 2007. Andeweg and Cohen de Lara (1999a) is now available on CD-Rom and accessible through the Dutch library system Picarta under the title Compendium voor politiek en samenleving. This bibliography can not claim to be complete and comprehensive for the period covered. First and foremost, all the so-called grey publications that often are accessible through the internet have been ignored. These grey publications cover all series of (working) papers and research reports issued by researchers from various university departments or academic research institutes on their websites. Although these publications offer much useful information on aspects of Dutch politics they tend to increase in numbers very rapidly. For the sake of brevity of the bibliography it is assumed that the relevant papers and reports will eventually have been published as articles in academic journals or as chapters in academic books. Next, no publications have been included that were published by Dutch government ministries, Dutch advisory bodies like the Scientific Council for Government Policy (Wetenschappelijk Raad voor het Regeringsbeleid – WRR) or the Netherlands Bureau for Policy Analysis (Centraal Plan Bureau – CPB), or by the many other quasi non-governmental or semi- public Dutch policy research institutes. These corporations publish many relevant academic reports on aspects of Dutch politics and policies that are usually also publicly available on their websites. Furthermore, no publications have been included that were issued by international corporations and organizations like the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Worldbank, or the European Union (EU). These organizations also publish many relevant reports on aspects of Dutch politics and policies that are often publicly available on their websites as well. Finally, chapters in edited volumes seem to be not systematically reported in Picarta. Therefore, in an effort to be as complete as possible, the assistance of Rudy Andeweg, Uwe Becker, Mark Bovens, Joop van Holsteyn, Hans Keman, Paul Lucardie, Philip van Praag, Bert Jan Verbeek, Anna van der Vleuten and Marcel Wissenburg is gratefully acknowledged.

Thorbecke (1798-1872), I.D. Fransen van de Putte (1822-1902) en S. van Houten (1837-1930); onderste rij: N.G. Pierson (1839-1909) en S. Vissering (1818-1888). Inleiding In de jaren 1865-1875 werd door meerdere liberalen geconstateerd dat de liberale partij 'ziek' was. Dat gold ook voor J.R. Thorbecke, wellicht de grootste en zeker de bekendste liberaal van de negentiende eeuw.1 Een dergelijk negatief zelfbeeld lijkt niet in overeenstemming met de dominante positie die de liberalen destijds in Nederland bekleedden. Deze dominantie was terug te zien in de politiek, de wetenschap en in de publieke opinie.2 Niet onterecht heeft Siep Stuurman geconstateerd dat het tijdvak van 1848 tot 1910 een liberale periode was.3 In deze scriptie staat de ontwikkeling van het Nederlandse liberalisme in de jaren 1865-1875 centraal. Volgens de historiografie was er rond het jaar 1870 een einde gekomen aan de zogenaamde Thorbeckeaanse periode. Zo noemt Henk te Velde de jaren vóór 1870 bijvoorbeeld de 'wittebroodsweken' van het politieke liberalisme in Nederland.4 Historici hebben vastgesteld dat er in deze jaren een nieuwe generatie van liberalen was opgekomen, over het algemeen jong-liberalen genoemd.

Children, Work and 'Child Labour': Changing Responses to the Employment of Children Dr Ben White Inaugural Address delivered on 16 June 1994 as Professor of Rural Sociology at the Institute of Social Studies, The Hague, The Netherlands. Preface Itmay seem a peculiar choice for the inaugural lecture of a Professor of Rural Sociology to focus on the problem of child labour, rather than a more general aspect of rural sociology or rural development. There are in fact s~veral reasons for the choice of topic. Firstly, some years ago, on a different occasion but before a similar audience at the ISS (the Dies Natalis of 1986) I did try to outline what I thought were important elements in a general approach to ·rural devel­ opment, in teaching and research. My views on the subject have not changed much, though I could repeat three elements which I underlined as essential, and which apply equally to the topic on which I will speak today. These are: interdisciplinarity (but without the loss of 'discipline' itself); a learning and teaching strategy anchored in the comparative approach and with due regard for the historical roots of contemporary problems and contemporary diversity; and a concern for issues of social and economic justice, as part of our understanding of the meaning of 'development' itself [White, 1987]. Child employment is generally agreed to be on the increase, in almost all world re gions. Global concern about child labour pro blems is subject to cycles, and we are currently in a period of quite intense interest and concern.

  • Session I Abraham Kuyper and Reformed Social Teaching
    Session I Abraham Kuyper and Reformed Peter S. Heslam James D. Bratt Social Teaching James C. Kennedy Journal of Markets & Morality Volume 5, Number 1 (Spring 2002), 11–33 Copyright © 2002 Prophet of a Third Way: The Shape of Kuyper’s Socio- Peter S. Heslam The London Institute for Political Vision Contemporary Christianity A century after Abraham Kuyper’s visit to the United States, the issue that dominated political discourse both in Northern Europe and in the United States was that of the so-called Third Way. This was reflected in a meeting that took place in Washington in the autumn of 1998 between Tony Blair and Bill Clinton, the serving governmental heads of the United Kingdom and the United States. It was a time of seemingly intractable crisis at the White House in the wake of the Monica Lewinsky affair, but the theme that pervaded the agenda of that meeting was that of a Third Way in politics, and it served to cement the Blair-Clinton relationship with bonds of solidarity. It even diverted the focus of media coverage of the United States president, which hitherto had been fixed on the unfolding scandal. Much debate ensured in the broadsheets as to what was meant by the term; was it a radical alternative to two opposing ideologies, one that bore no similarity to what it sought to replace? Or was it an amalgam of the best parts of each of them? Although Kuyper did not use the term, his sociopolitical vision was designed as a Third Way—an alterna- tive to the ideologies of individualism, on the one hand, and collectivism, on the other.

  • Government Schools Or Free Schools? Abraham Kuyper Addresses a Long-Standing Controversy in the Dutch Parliament
    Government schools or Free schools? Abraham Kuyper addresses a long-standing controversy in the Dutch parliament Harry Van Dyke The Netherlands experienced a struggle for educational freedom between 1840 and 1920. Although this freedom was guaranteed in the Constitution of 1848, the ruling elite insisted for many decades that only public schools, which were operated by the government and consigned to religious neutrality, qualified for public funding. Private, religious schools were excluded. This meant that parents who used a private Christian school in fact paid double for the education of their children: first as taxpayers for the public school, and then for their own school. Christian parents in the lower classes thus faced a dilemma: either education for their children in the spirit of home and church, involving expensive tuition fees; or education in the religiously neutral public school, which was free of charge; or else no school attendance at all for their children (school attendance was not compulsory). A foremost champion of parity treatment of both types of schools was the journalist-theologian Dr. Abraham Kuyper. For many years he and his followers campaigned against the inequality, particularly since it jeopardized freedom of conscience. They challenged the claim that education could be religiously neutral. Kuyper spoke often about the issue, both as a member of parliament and from 1901 to 1905 as prime minister. He did that so eloquently that a selection of quotations from his parliamentary speeches is worth taking note of. The struggle was ultimately resolved when both public and private schools were accorded equal funding from the public treasury.

  • Thorbecke Revisited De Rol Van Het Doctrinaire Liberalisme in De Nederlandse Politiek1
    artikel t Thorbecke Revisited De rol van het doctrinaire liberalisme in de Nederlandse politiek1 jan drentje Thorbecke Revisited: The Role of Doctrinaire Liberalism in Dutch Politics 3­ In the political history of the nineteenth century Thorbecke played a crucial role. As the architect of the 1848 liberal constitutional reform he led three cabinets. In many - 4 | 3 28 bmgn-lchr 126 | deel ways he dominated the political discourse during the period between 1840 and 1872. In recent historiography Thorbecke’s liberalism has been chiefly interpreted within the framework of political styles. Thorbecke’s constitutional style could be characterised by a formal, governmental approach to politics, distanced from the citizen and society. In this respect Thorbecke’s liberalism is indebted to the French Doctrinaires as represented by Guizot. In this article it is argued that what is known as doctrinaire liberalism in the Dutch context comprised a correction of the oligarchical political culture of the Restoration and was connected to social and economic questions that had played a role since the time of the Patriots Party. A formal approach to politics had a concrete social significance.Thus the demarcation of public and private legal systems was a means of generating social reform. More generally, strict liberalism can be seen as a way of carrying out politics in which the point was to bring political rationality into the historical context. Naar aanleiding van de protestantse agitatie tegen het ministerie- Thorbecke in 1853 noteerde de historicus Ranke in een van zijn Tagebücher: ‘Er (Thorbecke) ist strenger Doktrinär und hat durch die Entschiedenheit seiner Meinung sich eine grosse Partei gebildet’.

  • Aletta Jacobs En Het Vrouwenkiesrecht
    Aletta Jacobs en het vrouwenkiesrecht Inleiding De geschiedenis van het vrouwenkiesrecht is onverbrekelijk verbonden met de naam van Aletta Jacobs. In het voorwoord bij haar Herinneringen schrijft prof. mr dr J. (Jacques) Oppenheim, gewezen hoogleraar staats- en administratief recht aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen en Leiden, lid van de Raad van State, en neef van Aletta Jacobs: 'In den langen bangen strijd voor het algemeen kiesrecht der vrouw hier te lande, heeft dr. Jacobs het leeuwenaandeel gehad en haar wilskracht is het vooral geweest die de vrouw het stembiljet in handen heeft gegeven.'1 Zij is de eerste vrouw in Nederland die als arts is afgestudeerd en gepromoveerd, en wel aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen2. Tijdens haar leven en werk stuitte zij op allerlei belemmeringen om zich, net als de man, vrijelijk te ontplooien en een onafhankelijk bestaan op te bouwen. Zo kwam zij ertoe om uiteindelijk haar artsenpraktijk vaarwel te zeggen en zich met niet aflatende ijver in te zetten voor verbetering van de positie van de vrouw, onder meer door de verwezenlijking van het algemeen kiesrecht voor vrouwen in Nederland. In haar rijke leven heeft zij zich niet tot deze strijd beperkt, maar zette zij zich ook in voor andere zaken. Zo introduceerde zij het pessarium occlusivum als middel om ongewenste zwangerschap tegen te gaan en was ze betrokken bij de oprichting van de Nieuw Malthu- siaansche Bond in Nederland. Ook bond ze de strijd aan tegen de reglementering van de prostitutie. Ze gaf voorlichting over hygiëne om kindersterfte en ziekte tegen te gaan, voerde actie om winkelmeisjes gedurende werktijd te laten zitten, omdat het langdurig staan bij hen medische afwijkingen veroorzaakte.

  • Hoe Kwam Het Algemeen Kiesrecht Tot Stand? 2
    Hoe kwam het algemeen kiesrecht tot stand? 2 In de jaren 2017/19 is het honderd jaar geleden dat het algemeen kiesrecht voor mannen en vrouwen is ingevoerd. Dat is bepaald niet zonder slag of stoot gegaan. De grondwet van 1848, die de basis legde voor ons politieke bestel, kende het kiesrecht slechts toe aan een beperkte groep mannen. In de loop van de negentiende eeuw nam het aantal kiezers gestaag toe, maar het zou tot 1917/19 duren alvorens we van algemeen kiesrecht kunnen spreken. Hoe verliep de uitbreiding van het kiesrecht? Wie hebben zich daarvoor ingezet? In deze brochure volgen we de weg van beperkt naar algemeen kiesrecht. Hoe kwam het algemeen kiesrecht tot stand? 3 Grondwet 1848 en kieswet 1850 recht zouden krijgen die een aanslag in In 1848 vond een ingrijpende herziening de directe belastingen hadden plaats van de Nederlandse grondwet. ontvangen.
