The research group originally consisted of Mette Thunø, MA; Mads Kirkebæk, MA; Dr Tage Vosbein and Dr Kjeld Erik Brødsgaard, who also served as the director of the project. In September 1993 Mads Dall, MA, also joined the group. In addition, Professor Jan Rowinski of the Polish Institute of International Affairs, Warsaw, co-operated with the group in researching diplomatic and political relations between Denmark and China after 1949 and Dr. Erik Baark accepted an invita- tion to write a chapter on the Great Northern Telegraph Company. After the completion of its task in 1997, the research group was dissolved. However, Mads Kirkebæk continued his studies on diplomatic affairs and the result of this work appeared in the form of a Ph.D. dissertation entitled ‘Fortiter in re, suaviter in modo: En undersøgelse af udvalgte dele af Danmarks Kinapolitik 1912–1945’ [Fortiter in re, suaviter in modo: A Study of Selected Aspects of Den- mark’s China Policy, 1912–1945] (Faculty of Humanities, University of Copen- hagen, August 1998). Mette Thunø has also continued her research on the Chinese community in Denmark, which originally formed a part of the project. She has decided not to contribute to the present volume, but an early result of her work can be found in her Ph.D. dissertation ‘Chinese Migration to Denmark: Catering and Ethnicity’ (Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen, December 1997). The editors wish to thank the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for the gene- rous grant which made this research possible and the Taipei Representative Of- fice in Copenhagen for supporting the project through its various stages. We would also like to thank NIAS for their interest in publishing our manuscript and the Daloon Foundation for a grant covering part of the publication costs.

  • Historisk Samling Fra Besættelsestiden
    Historisk Samling fra Besættelsestiden Arkivregistrant Denne registrant er en vejviser til arkivet på Historisk Samling fra Besættelsestiden. Arkivet indeholder et bredt materiale fra og om modstandsbevægelsen – fra illegale blade over Frihedsrådets proklamationer til beretninger fra modstandsfolk landet over. Desuden omfatter arkivet fx britisk propagandamateriale, rapporter og skrivelser fra danske myndigheder, materiale fra de politiske partier, tysk og dansk-nazistisk propaganda, kopier af sager fra retsopgøret samt forsknings- og personarkiver. Dele af materialet er kun groft registreret, og den store samling af illegalt materiale venter stadig på en gennembearbejdning og er kun nævnt i hovedtræk i denne arkivregistrant. En stor del af arkivalierne er indsamlet af tidligere modstandsmand og seminarierektor Palle Schmidt. Men indsamlingen er fortsat efter hans død i 1991, og HSB modtager hvert år – og med glæde – fra hele landet nyt materiale fra og om besættelsestiden. Således vil registranten løbende blive opdateret. Opbygning Arkivregistranten er bygget op om hovedgrupperne 01-60 med tilhørende undergrupper. Opdelingen i hovedgrupper er kronologisk/tematisk, suppleret af forsknings- og personarkiverne (Grupperne 50 og 60). Gruppeinddelingen kan ses umiddelbart nedenfor denne indledning. Med visse ændringer og tilføjelser følger opbygningen registranten for dokumentsamlingen på Frihedsmuseet i København – helt fra HSB’s grundlæggelse under Palle Schmidt har denne registrant udgjort et vigtigt ordningsinstrument på HSB. Søgning Det er en god ide at begynde med at gennemse gruppeinddelingen nedenfor. På den måde kan man orientere sig om arkivets opbygning. Derefter kan man gå direkte til de hoved- og undergrupper i selve arkivregistranten, man interesserer sig for. Vær opmærksom på, at der er overlap i mellem en del arkivgrupper.

Wong All rights reserved. Professor Michael Szonyi John D. Wong Global Positioning: Houqua and his China Trade Partners in the Nineteenth Century Abstract This study unearths the lost world of early-nineteenth-century Canton. Known today as Guangzhou, this Chinese city witnessed the economic dynamism of global commerce until the demise of the Canton System in 1842. Records of its commercial vitality and global interactions faded only because we have allowed our image of old Canton to be clouded by China’s weakness beginning in the mid-1800s. By reviving this story of economic vibrancy, I restore the historical contingency at the juncture at which global commercial equilibrium unraveled with the collapse of the Canton system, and reshape our understanding of China’s subsequent economic experience. I explore this story of the China trade that helped shape the modern world through the lens of a single prominent merchant house and its leading figure, Wu Bingjian, known to the West by his trading name of Houqua.

  • Danish Cold War Historiography
    SURVEY ARTICLE Danish Cold War Historiography ✣ Rasmus Mariager This article reviews the scholarly debate that has developed since the 1970s on Denmark and the Cold War. Over the past three decades, Danish Cold War historiography has reached a volume and standard that merits international attention. Until the 1970s, almost no archive-based research had been con- ducted on Denmark and the Cold War. Beginning in the late 1970s, however, historians and political scientists began to assess Danish Cold War history. By the time an encyclopedia on Denmark and the Cold War was published in 2011, it included some 400 entries written by 70 researchers, the majority of them established scholars.1 The expanding body of literature has shown that Danish Cold War pol- icy possessed characteristics that were generally applicable, particularly with regard to alliance policy. As a small frontline state that shared naval borders with East Germany and Poland, Denmark found itself in a difficult situation in relation to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as well as the Soviet Union. With regard to NATO, Danish policymakers balanced policies of integration and screening. The Danish government had to assure the Soviet Union of Denmark’s and NATO’s peaceful intentions even as Denmark and NATO concurrently rearmed. The balancing act was not easily managed. A review of Danish Cold War historiography also has relevance for con- temporary developments within Danish politics and research. Over the past quarter century, Danish Cold War history has been remarkably politicized.2 The end of the Cold War has seen the successive publication of reports and white books on Danish Cold War history commissioned by the Dan- ish government.

  • 555 the Regime of Passage Through the Danish Straits Alex G. Oude
    The Regime of Passage Through the Danish Straits Alex G. Oude Elferink* Netherlands Institute for the Law of the Sea, Utrecht University, The Netherlands ABSTRACT The Danish Straits are the main connection between the Baltic Sea and the world oceans. The regime of passage through these straits has been the subject of extensiveregulation, raising the question how different applicable instruments interact. Apart from applicable bilateral and multilateral treaties, it is necessaryto take into account the practice of Denmark and Swedenand other interested states, and regulatory activities within the framework of the IMO. The Case ConcerningPassage Through the Great Belt before the ICJ provides insights into the views of Denmark and Finland. The article concludesthat an 1857treaty excludesthe applicabilityof Part III of the LOS Convention to the straits, and that there are a number of difficultiesin assessingthe contents of the regimeof the straits. At the same time, these uncertaintiesdo not seem to have been a complicatingfactor for the adoption of measuresto regulate shipping traffic. Introduction The Danish Straits are the main connection between the Baltic Sea and the world oceans. The straits are of vital importance for the maritime communication of the Baltic states and squarely fall within the legal category of straits used for international navigation For a number of these states the Baltic Sea is the only outlet to the oceans (Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland).

Bax2,16 Abstract Background: Our knowledge of the benthic fauna at lower bathyal to abyssal (LBA, > 2000 m) depths off Eastern Australia was very limited with only a few samples having been collected from these habitats over the last 150 years. In May–June 2017, the IN2017_V03 expedition of the RV Investigator sampled LBA benthic communities along the lower slope and abyss of Australia’s eastern margin from off mid-Tasmania (42°S) to the Coral Sea (23°S), with particular emphasis on describing and analysing patterns of biodiversity that occur within a newly declared network of offshore marine parks. Methods: The study design was to deploy a 4 m (metal) beam trawl and Brenke sled to collect samples on soft sediment substrata at the target seafloor depths of 2500 and 4000 m at every 1.5 degrees of latitude along the western boundary of the Tasman Sea from 42° to 23°S, traversing seven Australian Marine Parks.
