This book addresses the many avenues that are still left unexplored when it comes to our understanding of the First World War in the Low Countries. With the ongoing the centenary of the Great War, many events have been organized in the United Kingdom to commemorate its military events, its socio-political consequences, and its cultural legacy. Of these events, very few have paid attention to the fates of Belgium or the Netherlands, even though it was the invasion of Belgium in August 1914 that was the catalyst for Great Britain declaring war. The occupation of Belgium had long-term consequences for its people, but much of the military and social history of the Western Front concentrates on northern France, and the Netherlands is largely forgotten as a nation affected by the First World War. By opening the field beyond the military and beyond the front, this collection explores the interdisciplinary and international nature of the Great War.

In the immediate aftermath of the armistice that ended the First World War, the Allied nations of Britain, France, and Italy agreed to put the fallen German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II on trial, in what would be the first ever international criminal tribunal. In Britain, Lloyd George campaigned for re-election on the slogan 'hang the Kaiser', but the Italians had only lukewarm support for a trial, and there was outright resistance from the United States. During the Peace Conference, international lawyers gathered for the first time to debate international criminal justice. They recommended trial of the Kaiser by an international tribunal for war crimes, and the Americans relented, agreeing to a trial for a 'supreme offence against international morality'. However, the Kaiser had fled to the Netherlands where he obtained asylum, and though the Allies threatened a range of measures if the former Emperor was not surrendered, the Dutch refused and the demands were dropped in March 1920. This book, from renowned legal scholar William A. Schabas, sheds light on perhaps the most important international trial that never was. Schabas draws on numerous primary sources hitherto unexamined in published work, including transcripts which vividly illuminate this period of international law making. As such, he has written a book which constitutes a history of the very beginnings of international criminal justice, a history which has never before been fully told.

En décembre 1918, les troupes belges franchissent la frontière allemande et s'installent sur la rive gauche du Rhin. Elles y resteront plus de dix ans. Pour la première fois, la Belgique endosse le rôle d’occupant. Ce livre décrit cette expérience d’occupation inversée, dans ses dimensions politiques, militaires, sociales et culturelle. Pour la première fois de son histoire, la Belgique endosse le rôle d'occupant. En décembre 1918, ses troupes franchissent la frontière allemande et s’installent sur la rive gauche du Rhin, de Clèves à Aix-la-Chapelle. Elles y resteront plus de dix ans. Occultée de la mémoire collective, cette expérience d’occupation inversée, jusqu’ici étudiée sous des angles particuliers, fait dans ce livre l’objet d’une approche globale qui combine les dimensions politiques et militaires, sociales et culturelles. Résultat d’une enquête minutieuse menée dans les archives belges et étrangères, cet ouvrage revient sur une cohabitation plurielle et complexe entre Belges et Allemands. Le récit s’attarde sur les stratégies de pouvoir, de résistance et de rapprochement mises en œuvre. Il fait entendre les voix souvent discordantes des civils et des militaires, donnant la parole aux petits et aux grands. En toile de fond, il suit l’évolution des mentalités, en Belgique et en Allemagne occupée, au cours de la décennie suivant la fin de la Grande Guerre. A PROPOS DE L'AUTRICE Anne Godfroid est docteure en histoire contemporaine (ULB) et en sciences sociales et militaires (ERM). Sa thèse a été couronnée par le Prix de la Fondation de Greef en histoire militaire. Elle travaille au Musée royal de l'Armée (Bruxelles). Ses publications ont notamment porté sur la justice militaire et les violences faites aux femmes en temps de guerre.

The World of Protracted Conflicts seeks to frame the models to answer three crucial questions about interstate protracted conflict: what are the most likely conditions for the onset of a protracted conflict, its escalation/persistence, and its termination? It presents the findings on protracted conflict occurrence, continuation, and resolution through testing these models and their derived hypotheses against the evidence from 33 interstate protracted conflicts in the last century. These findings will, in turn, shed further light on the conflict-crisis-war linkage. This book examines and explains patterns that exist in the eruption, evolution, and winding down of these conflicts through a systematic comparison of recent and contemporary PCs.

Nowadays political territoriality is profoundly put to the test by globalization, the rise of the network-society, international migration and new types of risk that state governments find hard to control. Yet, new political configurations do not invalidate the relevance of territory and territorial identity right away. Moreover, people who want to escape or forget foreign dominace still reach for the traditionally sovereign state (Eastern Europe, Asia). In this book an international group of political geographers analyse the meaning of post-modern transfromation in territoriality at different geographical scales: global, (inter) national and local. They cover such varied topics as the probability of a clash between civilizations, the rise of World-cities, the disintegration of African States, ethnic conflicts and politics in Europe, the meaning of a supranational territorial order (European Union), the end of the welfare state, nation-building and its symbols, Israeli cultural politics, urban regimes and local conflict-defense mechanisms. The perspectives put forward, match more general theoretical geography and political science and involve case studies from different parts of the World. This important new study is of immediate interest to students of all levels of politcial science, sociology, social geography, administrative science, international relations, contermpoary history, and to policy makers and politicians.
