Historical legacies and the political mobilization of national nostalgia
The goal of this introduction to the special issue is threefold. First, we map a nascent research field on connections between populism and the past and, in so doing, point to gaps in existing work. Second, we develop the contours of an integrated analytical framework that, addressing these gaps, reconstructs the relationship between populism and the past comparatively and on multiple levels. Our approach pays special attention to the interlinked…
Differentiated Cooperation through Local Authority Networks
Transnational networks of sub-national authorities are an established and growing phenomenon in Europe, where they perform a number of (soft) governance functions for their members, often in direct connection with European Union (EU) institutions. Differentiation is an inherent characteristic of sub-national authority networks, which is nonetheless still largely unexplored. Building on original empirical data, we identify three dimensions of diff…

Memory politics of the far right in Europe
In recent years, we have seen a significant increase of memory politics among far-right political actors. In public spheres across Europe, discursive repertoires and historical tropes that mythologize the past have been (re)articulated by far-right actors who construe themselves as the true heirs and bearers of national historical traditions and values. This special issue, comprising six research articles on French, Polish, Italian, Spanish, Serb…
Right-wing populism’s (ab)use of the past in Italy and the Netherlands
Historical analysis is increasingly used as a tool in the study of present-day populism in Europe. The past is often explored as a source of analogies through which to examine today’s populism, and at other times in search of causal mechanisms to explain the current populist wave. In this paper we focus on a third kind of link between populism and the past, namely the ways populist movements and leaders use and abuse history and historical memory…
L’(ab)ús del populisme de dretes del passat a Itàlia i els Països Baixos
L’anàlisi històrica s’utilitza cada vegada més com una eina en l’estudi del populisme actual a Europa. El passat sovint s’explora com una font d’analogies per a examinar el populisme del present i altres vegades en busca de mecanismes causals per a explicar l’onada populista actual. En aquest article ens centrem en un tercer tipus de vincle entre el populisme i el passat, és a dir, les formes en què els moviments i líders populistes usen i abusen…
In Search of the Social
This introductory text presents the overarching question that informs the articles in this special section: How have notions of neighborhood and community determined urban planning discourse and practice in mid-twentieth century Europe? Against the backdrop of World Wars, crises and recovery schemes, aspirations to repair – or create – social cohesion among urban dwellers were manifest in the parlance and actions of a range of historical actors, …
Building Democracy Anew
This article interrogates the political semantics of neighborhood planning during and after the Second World War. It argues that as much as a geographical substrate for social and spatial planning, the neighborhood was an organizing principle in agendas of urban political reform in the 1940s and 1950s. Taking the case of Rotterdam, a severely bombed city that suffered from warfare in many respects, this article discloses the languages of politica…
Experimental Planning after the Blitz. Non-governmental Planning Initiativesand Post-war Reconstruction in Coventry and Rotterdam, 1940–1955
Experimental Planning after the Blitz. Non-governmental Planning Initiatives and Post-war Reconstruction in Coventry and Rotterdam, 1940-1955 This article probes into two non-governmental planning initiatives in the bombed cities of Coventry and Rotterdam. It articulates planning practices by non-state actors at the local level during the 1940s and early 1950s. These practices comprise a set of alternative visions on urban reconstruction and the …
Experimental Spaces
Recent years have seen a sharp increase in the scholarly interest in planning and social engineering, which became widespread in the Western world as well as the colonies and post-colonial states in the age of High Modernity.This age, covering the years between 1890 and 1970, has been distinguished from other periods, firstly, by the sheer rapidity of economic, social and cultural changes, such as industrialisation, urbanisation, mass emigration,…
The managerial revolution in local government
This article probes into the impact of management thought on municipal administration in Amsterdam in the period 1900–1940. To understand the discursive and practical impact of management thought – and the city manager as one of its most feasible expressions – on municipal administration in its historical context, this article places this European case study against the background of the American hotbed and source of management reform in local go…

Research in urban history
The ways in which the organization of local government and the practice of political power locally have changed over time has attracted heightened interest from urban and administrative historians over recent decades. Much of this burgeoning interest has paralleled the concurrent decline in the status and powers of local government since the 1980s. In recent years, a shifting focus from government to governance has allowed the historian to re-con…
