What are rising powers? Do they challenge the international order? Why do some countries but not others become rising powers? In Why Nations Rise, Manjari Chaterjee Miller answers these questions and shows that some countries rise not just because they develop the military and economic power to do so but because they develop particular narratives about how to become a great power in the style of the great power du jour. These active rising powers accept the prevalent norms of the international order in order to become great powers. On the other hand, countries which have military and economic power but not these narratives do not rise enough to become great powers--they stay reticent powers. An examination of the narratives in historical (the United States, the Netherlands, Meiji Japan) and contemporary (Cold War Japan, post-Cold War China and India) cases, Why Nations Rise shows patterns of active and reticent rising powers and presents lessons for how to understand the rising powers of China and India today.

An epic account of the House of Orange-Nassau over one hundred and fifty years of European history. Three rulers from the House of Orange-Nassau reigned over the Netherlands from 1813 to 1890: King William I from 1813 to 1840, King William II from 1840 to 1849, and King William III from 1849 to 1890. Theirs is an epic tale of joy and tragedy, progress and catastrophe, disappointment and glory—all set against the backdrop of a Europe plagued by war and revolution. The House of Orange in Revolution and War relates one and a half centuries of House of Orange history in a gripping narrative, leading the reader from the last stadholders of the Dutch Republic to the modern monarchy of the early twentieth century, from the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars to World War I and the European Revolutions that came after it.

After years at the margins of medical history, the relationship between war and medicine is at last beginning to move centre-stage. The essays in this volume focus on one important aspect of that relationship: the practice and development of medicine within the armed forces from the late nineteenth century through to the end of the Second World War. During this crucial period, medicine came to occupy an important position in military life, especially during the two world wars when manpower was at a premium. Good medical provisions were vital to the conservation of manpower, protecting servicemen from disease and returning the sick and wounded to duty in the shortest possible time. A detailed knowledge of the serviceman's mind and body enabled the authorities to calculate and standardise rations, training and disciplinary procedures. Spanning the laboratory and the battlefield, and covering a range of national contexts, the essays in this volume provide valuable insights into different national styles and priorities. They also examine the relationship between medical personnel and the armed forces as a whole, by looking at such matters as the prevention of disease, the treatment of psychiatric casualties and the development of medical science. The volume as a whole demonstrates that medicine became an increasingly important part of military life in the era of modern warfare, and suggests new avenues and approaches for future study.

During the seventeenth century, the Dutch and English emerged as the world's leading trading nations, building their prosperity largely upon their maritime successes. During this period both nations strongly contested for maritime supremacy and colonial dominance, yet by the nineteenth century, it was Britain who had undoubtedly come out on top of this struggle, with a navy that dominated the seas and an empire of unparalleled size. This volume examines the colonial development of these two nations at a crucial period in which the foundations for the modern nineteenth and twentieth century imperial state were laid. The volume consists of ten essays (five by British and five by Dutch scholars) based on papers originally delivered to the Fourteenth Anglo-Dutch Historical Conference, 2000. The essays are arranged into five themes which take a strongly comparative approach to explore the development of the British and Dutch colonial empires in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. These themes examine the nature of Anglo-Dutch relations, the culture of imperialism and perceptions of the overseas world, the role of sea power in imperial expansion, the economics of colonial expansion and the extension of the metropolitan state to the colonies. Taken together, these essays form an important collection which will greatly add to the understanding of the British and Dutch colonial empires, and their relative successes and failures.

In Tussen Leger en Maatschappij, Militaire muziek in Nederland 1819-1923 staat de positie van de militaire muzikant centraal. Zijn plaats was gedurende de negentiende en vroeg twintigste eeuw een bijzondere, vaak ook wankele, tussen de militaire organisatie met haar strakke hiërarchie en de civiele wereld van de muziek, waar een geheel andere cultuur heerste. Een militaire organisatie die enerzijds de muzikant om praktische redenen en ook wel ten behoeve van het imago van de krijgsmacht waardeerde, maar anderzijds niet bereid was hieraan veel geld te spenderen. Pas rond 1900 begon de Tweede Kamer zich met de positie van de onderofficier, en daarmee ook de militaire muziek, bezig te houden. Dat betekende overigens niet dat de muzikant er op vooruitging. Inkrimping van de muziekkorpsen was het hoofddoel. De Nederlandse militaire muziek was gedurende de negentiende eeuw innovatief en invloedrijk, zeker als het gaat om de mate van landelijke spreiding. Maar vanwege zijn militaire status kon de muzikant moeilijk emanciperen. In militaire zin bleef zijn status laag en kwetsbaar in tijden van bezuiniging. Deze studie is de eerste gedetailleerde inkijk in de wereld van de Nederlandse militaire muziek in de negentiende eeuw, waarbij zowel naar repertoire, instrumentarium als naar de sociale en militaire positie wordt gekeken.

After the Napoleonic Wars the borders of Europe were redrawn and relative peace endured across the region, but the volatile politics of the late nineteenth century generated an atmosphere of fear and distrust, and it gave rise to a new era of fortress building. In the neutral states situated between France and Germany - The Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland - the need for extensive fixed defences was particularly urgent, and this is the subject of this highly illustrated new study. The strategic thinking that gave rise to these defensive schemes is described in detail, as is the planning, design and construction of the lines themselves. Their operational history in wartime, in particular during the Second World War, is a key element of this expert account.

J.C.C. den Beer Poortugael (1832-1913) is een van Nederlands markantste officieren uit de negentiende eeuw: geen houwdegen maar een verfijnde intellectueel die met groot gezag over tal van militaire en politieke onderwerpen schreef. Hij ontpopte zich vooral als een autoriteit op het terrein van het volkenrecht en het humanitair oorlogsrecht. Ook was hij korte tijd minister van Oorlog. In zijn Levensschets doet Den Beer op boeiende wijze verslag van zijn veelzijdige officiersbestaan. Het ene moment treffen we hem aan in de kazerne onder het ruwe soldatenvolk, dan volgen we hem naar een salon voor een soiree, dan weer zien we hem een vlammend betoog houden in een deftige debating club, dan weer is hij op oefening op de hei en menigmaal biedt hij ons een inkijk in huiselijke kring. Met vaardige pen schildert hij het Nederland van de negentiende eeuw, waarbij ook de liefhebbers van roddels over de Haagse society aan hun trekken komen. Koning Willem III blijft evenmin onbesproken. Deze Levensschets is aangevuld met een saillante selectie uit de dagboekaantekeningen van Den Beer. Tezamen vormen deze egodocumenten een rijke historische bron die met deze uitgave voor het eerst voor een breed publiek beschikbaar komt.
