The effects of being born with cystic fibrosis on the timing of subsequent births
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease for which there is currently no cure. This study investigated how the birth order of a child with cystic fibrosis influences both the likelihood and timing of subsequent births. We hypothesized that the position of the child with cystic fibrosis within the family birth order is more important than the mere occurrence of the affected birth in determining subsequent fertility behavior. Our r…

On ‘Extreme Violence’ and ‘Impunity’
A key element of the conclusions of the large-scale ODGOI project was the frequent and structural usage by Dutch armed forces of ‘extreme violence’. This extreme violence was enabled by the climate of impunity created by politicians, civil servants, judges, and others in authority positions. The choice not to describe such violence as ‘war crimes’ led to a storm of criticism. This essay rather focuses on the concepts of ‘extreme violence’ and ‘im…
Forum on Decolonisation and Violence in Indonesia
This forum discusses the results of the large-scale research project ‘Independence, Decolonization, Violence and War in Indonesia, 1945-1950’ (ODGOI). The research was conducted by the Nederlands Instituut voor Militaire Historie (NIMH), the Koninklijk Instituut voor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde (KITLV), and the Nederlands Instituut voor Oorlogs-, Holocaust- en Genocidestudies (NIOD) from 2017-2022, resulting in thirteen monographs and edited volu…
Nodes of knowledge, managing transfer
The core theme of the special issue in which this article appears is the inherent impossibility of confining the knowledge required to build and sustain the instruments of travel to a single space or institution. This is certainly true for the ships that built empires - the large sailing and later steam ships produced by navies and companies in the process of European expansion. Ships traveled between polities and required repairs overseas, takin…
Worlds of Labour Turned Upside Down
This volume offers a bold restatement of the importance of social history for understanding modern revolutions. The essays collected in Worlds of Labour Turned Upside Down provide global case studies examining: - changes in labour relations as a causal factor in revolutions; - challenges to existing labour relations as a motivating factor during revolutions; - the long-term impact of revolutions on the evolution of labour relations. The volume ex…
The Political Economy of Slavery in the Dutch Empire
Die Republik der Vereinigten Niederlande und ihr Nachfolgestaat, das Königreich der Vereinigten Niederlande, waren eng mit der Sklaverei und dem Sklavenhandel in der Welt des Atlantiks und des Indischen Ozeans verwickelt. Ihr intensivstes Engagement fällt etwa mit der Periode zusammen, in der dieses kleine Land eine überragende Rolle in der Entwicklung der Ligamente des globalen Kapitalismus spielte – die Kopplung der inländischen Kapitalakkumula…
Introduction
The subject of this special issue is the relationship between the material demands of warfare and the political and administrative development of the Spanish imperial system during the long eighteenth century. Its purpose is to provide a transnational and comparative perspective on the methods employed by the Spanish monarchy to mobilise resources for war, emphasising the international, imperial and inter-regional connections that underpinned Spa…
The value of figures
This comment builds on the methodological reflections presented in the joint article by Brandon and Bosma in this issue. It examines three ‘demarcation problems’ that beset all the articles presented in this issue: where to draw the line between costs and benefits (for whom, at what stage in the process of reaping the gains of the forced labour of the enslaved, and in what link of the global commodity chain?); how to meaningfully translate benefi…
Slavery and the Dutch economy, 1750–1800
This article presents the first methodologically grounded calculation of the weight of Atlantic slave-based activities in the Dutch economy of the second half of the eighteenth century. In this period, the Dutch Republic was one of the most developed commercial societies in Europe. The import, processing and export of slave-produced goods such as sugar, coffee and tobacco played an important role in this economy. In 1770, 5.2% of the GDP of the D…
Piketty and the Political Origins of Inequality
We examine Thomas Piketty's explanations for steady and rising inequality in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the decline of inequality in the half-century after World War I, and the return of high levels of inequality since the 1970s. We specify empirical and conceptual problems with his analysis, which stem from his presentation of causality at a highly general and vague level. That leads him to confuse rather than clarify the caus…
De betekenis van de Atlantische slavernij voor de Nederlandse economie in de tweede helft van de achttiende eeuw
Dit artikel presenteert de eerste methodologisch onderbouwde berekening van het gewicht van op Atlantische slavernij gebaseerde activiteiten in de Nederlandse economie in de tweede helft van de achttiende eeuw. De Nederlandse Republiek was in deze periode één van de meest ontwikkelde commerciële samenlevingen in Europa. In deze economie speelde de import, verwerking en export van door slaven geproduceerde artikelen zoals suiker, koffie en tabak e…
Labour History and the Case against Colonialism
The controversy around Bruce Gilley's article “The Case for Colonialism” has drawn global attention to a stream of revisionist claims and visions on the history of colonialism that has emerged in academia and in the media in recent years. Authors such as Nigel Biggar in the UK, Niall Ferguson in the USA, and Pieter Emmer in the Netherlands, have all published similarly revisionist claims about colonialism, arguing that postcolonial guilt and poli…
Between the Plantation and the Port
Starting from an incident in the colonial port city of Paramaribo in the autumn of 1750 in which, according to the Dutch governor Mauricius, many of the proper barriers separating rich and poor, men and women, adults and children, white citizens and black slaves were crossed, this article traces some of the complexities of everyday social control in colonial Suriname. As gateways for the trade in commodities and the movement of people, meeting po…
Free and Unfree Labor in Atlantic and Indian Ocean Port Cities (Seventeenth-Nineteenth Centuries)
Colonial and postcolonial port cities in the Atlantic and Indian Ocean regions functioned as crucial hubs in the commodity flows that accompanied the emergence and expansion of global capitalism. They did so by bringing together laboring populations of many different backgrounds and statuses - legally free or semi-free wage laborers, soldiers, sailors, and the self-employed, indentured servants, convicts, and slaves. Focusing on the period from t…
War and economy. Rediscovering the eighteenth-century military entrepreneur
The detrimental effects traditionally assigned to warfare in the development of pre-industrial economies have obscured the prominent role that military entrepreneurs played in economic development in this period. Historiography minimises the extent to which war and the concomitant strengthening of the central state provided a whole new range of opportunities for capital investment, a tendency that has been strengthened by the paradigm of Redlich’…
From Williams’s Thesis to Williams Thesis
Eric Williams's Capitalism and Slavery, published in 1944, is one of the most influential and controversial historical studies of the twentieth century. 1 This relatively short book firmly associated the name of its author to key debates about the connections between capitalist development, slavery, the slave trade, abolitionism, and the roots of racismtopics that have recently re-emerged in quite remarkable fashion. 2 This fact in itself * I wou…
The supreme power of the people”
The Batavian Revolution of 1795 that overthrew the old stadtholderly regime of the Dutch Republic was followed by a period of intense political conflict in which popular mobilization played a key role. Among revolutionary elites, the main dividing line between moderates and radicals occurred around questions concerning the reorganization of the state apparatus and the writing of a new constitution. A full rejection of the federative model of the …

Marxism and the ‘Dutch Miracle’
The Dutch Republic holds a marginal position in the debate on the transition from feudalism to capitalism, despite its significance in the early stage of the development of global capitalism. While the positions of those Marxists who did consider the Dutch case range from seeing it as the first capitalist country to rejecting it as an essentially non-capitalist commercial society, all involved basically accept an image of Dutch development as bei…
The Health Risk Behaviours and Social Connectedness of Adolescents in Immigrant Families
Using data from Australia, health behavior outcomes and the social connectedness of adolescents in immigrant families are contrasted with the outcomes of adolescents in non‐immigrant families. Findings suggest that first and second generation adolescents are less likely to drink alcohol and lack social support than third generation adolescents, but more likely not to be physically active and not to have membership to a social club or group than t…

An Analysis of Kin-Provided Child Care in the Context of Intrafamily Exchanges
Little is known about why parents choose kin-provided child care and less is known about how kin-provided child care is related to other forms of in-kind support from relatives close-at-hand. Previous models of the choice of kin-provided child care assumed that the presence of other forms of in-kind support from relatives nearby was inconsequential to estimating effects of economic and demographic factors on the decision to use kin-provided child…

Late-Medieval Weather in Sussex and Its Agricultural Significance
The references to weather afforded by the compotus rolls of the manors of the Abbey of Battle and other ecclesiastical and lay manors in coastal Sussex between 1340 and 1444 are summarized and the evidence of floods during the same period is considered. The departures of the weather regime from that experienced during this century appear to be small, but significant climatic fluctuations are identifiable. Particularly favourable and adverse seaso…

Medieval Clearances in the East Sussex Weald
An attempt is made to define the extent and establish the chronology of the medieval clearances of woodland within a fragment of the Sussex Weald in relation to edaphic and other factors. The amount of clearing at different stages is first examined. The location of the cleared land is then delineated as accurately as the documentary evidence allows and an estimate is made of the extent of residual woodlands and waste c. 15oo. Three case studies h…

Three Deserted Medieval Settlements on Dartmoor
HOUNDTOR, HUTHOLES AND DINNA CLERKS are three deserted medieval settlements on the granite uplands towards the eastern side of Dartmoor Forest, Devon. Houndtor and Hutholes were small villages comprising eleven and six buildings respectively; Dinna Clerks was an isolated homestead. Extensive excavation at these sites by the late Mrs E. Marie Minter revealed a long sequence o f superimposed houses, divisible into two periods. Those of the first we…

Cereal Yields on the Sussex Estates of Battle Abbey during the Later Middle Ages
FEW problems regarding dynamics of English medieval economy are as obdurate as evaluation of levels and trends of agricultural productivity. Despite prolonged debate on subject, in which focus of attention has been great collection of yield data afforded by compotus rolls of bishops of Winchester, whole question still lies submerged in controversy.2 There are two major deficiencies in much of yield data at present published. The statistical short…
