Grote Technische Systemen in Nederland in De 20E Eeuw
Author version PUBLISHED AS: Erik van der Vleuten, ‘Networked Nation. Infrastructure integration of the Netherlands,’ in: Johan Schot, Arie Rip, and Harry Lintsen (eds), Technology and the making of the Netherlands. The age of contested modernization 1890-1970 (MIT Press/ Walburg Pers, 2010), 47-123. 2 Networked Nation: Infrastructure Integration of the Netherlands Erik van der Vleuten “The word landscape literally refers to creating land and space. Without humans there would be no landscape. This is the essence of the Netherlands.”1 Thus the Dutch presentation of their country at the World Fair 2000 in Hanover, Germany. Several government documents further elaborate this image: this shaping of Dutch space, and also of the Dutch economy and society, particularly relies on human-built material infrastructure, or “networks.”2 The Fifth National Policy Document on Spatial Planning 2000/2020, published in 2001, and the National Spatial Strategy (in 2006) explicitly portray the Netherlands as an evolving “network society” and a “network economy.”3 Unlike modern network society theorists focusing exclusively on information and communication technology, Dutch policymakers emphasize that this process is carried by the “entirety of roads, railways, waterways, pipelines and sewers, digital networks, seaports, airports and transfer points.”4 These networks are conceived of as a spatial layer mediating between the natural condition and social life, shaping “where people live, work, and spend their leisure time.”5 For one, “the activities of [Dutch] citizens and businesses occur in increasingly larger spaces, in both a physical and a virtual sense.”6 Successive governments of different political stripes have long agreed on this pivotal role of networks in Dutch space and society and the need to sustain and expand them, despite recurrent disagreements about the role of the central government in this undertaking. -

Social Movements and Contentious Politics, Revised and Updated Third
This page intentionally left blank Power in Movement, Revised and Updated Third Edition Social movements have an elusive power but one that is altogether real. From the French and American Revolutions to the post-Soviet, ethnic, and terrorist movements of today, contentious politics exercises a fleeting but powerful influence on politics, society, and international relations. This study surveys the history of the modern social movements in the West and their diffusion to the global South through war and colonialism and puts forward a theory to explain their cyclical surges and declines. It offers an interpretation of the power of movements that emphasizes their effects on the lives of militants, policy reforms, political institutions, and cultural change. The book focuses on the rise and fall of social movements as part of contentious politics as the outcome of changes in political opportunities and constraints, state strategy, the new media of communication, and transnational diffusion. Sidney G. Tarrow is Maxwell M. Upson Professor of Government and Professor of Sociology at Cornell University. His recent books include Dynamics of Contention (with Doug McAdam and Charles Tilly), Contentious Europeans (with Doug Imig), Transnational Protest and Global Activism (coedited with Donatella della Porta), The New Transna- tional Activism,andContentious Politics (with Charles Tilly).
