  • In Memoriam Jan Herman Van Roijen (1905-1991)
    341 IN MEMORIAM JAN HERMAN VAN ROIJEN (1905-1991) The death of Herman van Roijen meant not only the disappearance of a very important personality from Dutch public life but also of a man of unusual qualities who made a special contribution to international relations of our age. His career was crowned by the outstanding ambassadorships in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. In all of these countries Herman gained not only personal friends, but also forged deep links, profound mutual understanding between governments of his country and the host state. He did much more, he contributed to the development of friendship between peoples. For he was indeed an unusual man. He prepared his doctoral thesis at Utrecht University in 1929 on 'The Legal Status of International Recognition of Newly Created States and Governments'. He could hardly guess that twenty years later he would be heading his country's delegation preparing a round table conference with Indonesia, a country which, formerly under control of the Netherlands, gained independence as one of the newly born states of the world community. Thus life offered him very many surprises but he lived up to them due to his capacity of mind and the special features of his character. Up to his last fatal illness he reflected his unusual personality, the eagerness to know and of absorbing as much knowledge as possible. Not insisting to convince people to his views he much rather helped them to find their own way. Hence it was his own courtesy -more I would say kindness- which attracted so many to seek his company.

The period treated in this thesis is one which is often characterized as a transition between World War II and the Cold War. By approaching it instead as a window of opportunity – a period in which the governments of small states perceived both an unusual space and an urgent need to reevaluate security – the security policies of two small northwestern European countries, the Netherlands and Sweden, are subjected to a critical reappraisal. Through a systematic comparison of the security ideas and strategies in two countries that ended up with different positions on alignment/non-alignment during the Cold War, this dissertation sheds new light on the reasons for the development of those security policies as well as on their significance.

    Memoires 1987-A Willem Oltmans bron Willem Oltmans, Memoires 1987-A. Papieren Tijger, Breda 2016 Zie voor verantwoording: https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/oltm003memo43_01/colofon.php Let op: werken die korter dan 140 jaar geleden verschenen zijn, kunnen auteursrechtelijk beschermd zijn. 7 Inleiding In 2004, direct na het overlijden van Willem Oltmans, besloot ik dan eindelijk zijn Memoires te gaan lezen. Beginnend bij 1961 (het toen chronologisch ‘oudste’ verkrijgbare deel bij Papieren Tijger) en gestaag doorlezend (onderwijl delen 1-5 bij antiquariaatsboekhandels zoekend). Inmiddels ben ik ruim veertig delen verder, die allemaal gelezen als een steeds langer wordende blauw-oranje vlag in de boekenkast staan. De obsessie van Oltmans, zijn grote gelijk voor het nageslacht, is mijn fascinatie geworden. En daarmee schijn ik tot een zeer select gezelschap te behoren, in het voorwoord bij deel 40 werd zelfs voor het eerst de term ‘cult’ gebruikt. Wie Oltmans wilde leren kennen, moest zijn boeken maar lezen, daar stond het allemaal in. Ik hoef geen aanhalingstekens te gebruiken, want wie hem gekend heeft - al is het maar van radio of televisie - hoort het hem zeggen. En in zekere zin is het ook waar. Het staat er waarschijnlijk allemaal in. Helemaal zekerheid bestaat daarover nooit, maar gelet op de verscheidenheid aan onderwerpen per dag - die hem zeker niet altijd in een mooi licht plaatsen - twijfel ik daar eigenlijk niet aan. Vaak wordt de rode draad van al die delen gevonden in Oltmans' levenslange gevecht tegen de Staat, die hem daadwerkelijk belemmerde in zijn journalistieke werkzaamheden en waarin hij pas laat zijn gelijk kreeg.
