  • A SOVEREIGN COUNT of ORANGE Armed Citizens Marched to the City
    CHAPTER SEVEN A SOVEREIGN COUNT OF ORANGE Armed citizens marched to the city hall in a large number of cities in Holland, Zeeland and Friesland during the first days after the murders. There they stood, hundreds at a time, shouting in markets and public squares in Dordrecht, Veere and Leeuwarden, waving their flags in Haarlem, Zierikzee and Monnikendam, throwing stones at regents in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Goes. Essentially the riots played out in simi- lar fashion in most towns: the march was led by the most respectable citizens, who climbed the steps of the city hall with a petition in their hands. While scared regents drafted an answer to the demands in these petitions, citizens outside threateningly yelled that they knew what had happened in The Hague and that they would also start to collect “noses and ears” if the regents delayed. In the wake of the murders, hundreds of regents lost their offices. It was a political earthquake. At the same time, a second wave of printed petitions flooded the Republic. Since by this time it was clear that dozens, if not hundreds, of political offices would quickly become vacant, the demands in these petitions were mostly concerned with political capability. Citizens wanted a (not even necessarily the) vote in the appointment of new magistrates and members of the city councils. Moreover, citizens wanted to appoint their own city militia administra- tion. For the first project petitions containing lists of capable candidates for available offices were spread. In all cities, citizens shared one wish: all incapable regents had to lay down office as quickly as possible.

  • Interreg I / Ii : Cross-Border Cooperation
    INTERREG I / II : CROSS-BORDER COOPERATION Euregio Meuse-Rhine: implementation and management in practice Speech by Mr K.H. Lambertz - Chair of the Monitoring Committee for the Euregio Meuse-Rhine Interreg Programme - Director of Euregio Meuse-Rhine - Minister-President of the German-speaking community of Belgium 1. General background and geographical situation In 1974, the governors of the Dutch and Belgian provinces of Limburg, together with the Chief Executive of the Cologne county administration, acted on the proposal made to them by the future Queen of the Netherlands, Princess Beatrix, during an official visit to Maastricht, to draw up draft arrangements for an association under which even closer cross-border collaboration could develop, along the lines of the Dutch-German Euregio project that had been running since 1957. This initiative was part of the new Community direction in regional policy, which in 1975 was to be provided with an instrument to assist economic development called the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). In 1976, the principle of cross-border institutions was passed in law. Initially formed as an ad hoc association, the Euregio Meuse-Rhine was designed to promote integration between inhabitants on each side of the national borders. The area covers: • in Holland: the southern part of the Dutch province of Limburg; • in Germany: the city of Aachen, and the districts of Aachen, Heinsberg, Düren and Euskirchen, which make up the Aachen Regio, and • in Belgium: the entire province of Limburg. The province of Liège joined the Euregio Meuse-Rhine in 1978. In 1992, the German-speaking community of Belgium became the fifth partner in the Euregio Meuse- Rhine.

The book advances an original and intriguing argument that armed forces have had a vested interest in preserving the environments and habitats in which they operate, and have thus contributed to envi- ronmental conservation long before this became a popular cause of wider humanity.

  • The Worlds of the Seventeenth-Century Hudson Valley
    1 The Seventeenth-Century Empire of the Dutch Republic, c. 1590–1672 Jaap Jacobs he overseas expansion of the Dutch Republic, culminating in the “First Dutch Empire,” is a remarkable story of the quick rise to prominence of a small country in northwestern Europe. Much smaller Tin population than European rivals like Spain, England, and France, and without considerable natural resources, the Republic was able within a few decades to lay the foundation for a colonial empire of which remnants are still part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands nowadays. This First Dutch Empire, running roughly from the beginning of the seventeenth century until the early 1670s, was characterized by rapid expansion, both in the Atlantic area and in Asia. The phase that followed, the Second Dutch Empire, shows a divergence in development between the East and West. In the East, ter- ritorial expansion—often limited to trading posts, not settlement colonies— continued and trade volume increased, but in the Western theater the Dutch witnessed a contraction of territorial possessions, especially with the loss of New Netherland and Dutch Brazil. Even so, Dutch trade and shipping in the Atlantic was not solely dependent upon colonial footholds, not in the least because the Dutch began to participate in the Atlantic slave trade. This Second Dutch Empire ended in the Age of Democratic Revolutions, when upheavals in Europe and America brought an end to both the Dutch East and West India Companies and led to the loss of a number of colonies, such as South Africa, Sri Lanka, and Essequibo and Demerara on the Guyana coast.
