Urban tourism promotion in Belgium and the Netherlands
Urban tourism has expanded dramatically in recent decades, reshaping European cities economically, socially and culturally. Yet its roots run much deeper, as (early) modern urban centres – especially in the Low Countries – developed distinctive traditions of tourism and place promotion. This special issue highlights how civic boosterism, marketing innovations and inter-urban competition shaped these early practices. Bringing together new research…
Promoting normalcy
During World War II, German occupation obstructed foreign tourism to Amsterdam. The local tourist association VVV did not, however, cease its promotional activities. On the contrary; as a public–private association largely financed by the Amsterdam municipality and the local Chamber of Commerce, the VVV functioned as an institutional nexus between the German-controlled municipal authorities, local entrepreneurs in the city’s tourist industry, tou…
Seasonal Cycles of Social In- and Exclusion
During the long nineteenth century, public and semi-public venues of urban recreation were spaces where people actively shaped local social order by reinforcing, challenging, and changing patterns of social in- and exclusion in terms of class, gender, ethnicity, and other axes of social difference. Over the last decades, historians have been able to demonstrate how these tactics and patterns of social in- and exclusion functioned by focusing on d…
Peter Borsay
The death of Peter Borsay towards the end of last year was both untimely and unexpected. In him we have lost one of the finest historians of eighteenth-century urban Britain and an exceptionally generous, constructive and collegial friend. 1 Peter's academic career began at Lancaster where, as he would later recount, his ambition to study the industrial revolution was thwarted by Harold Perkin taking study leave, forcing
Fostering Democracy? Associations and Local Politics in Nineteenth-Century The Hague
This case study of the Dutch residential capital of The Hague explores the relationship between nineteenth-century associational life and local politics, testing the well-known argument of scholars such as Robert Putnam, that high numbers and high levels of participation in local voluntary associations are often positively correlated with processes of local political democratization. A quantitative analysis of (double) membership in the city's mo…

Le bon public de la Haye’. Local governance and the audience in the French opera in The Hague, 1820–1890
In nineteenth-century The Hague, the French opera performances in the Royal Theatre were the most important occasions during the winter season at which men and women from almost all social ranks experienced a strong sense of social cohesion in a common leisure pursuit, albeit one in which social hierarchies were clearly demarcated. This article analyses the changing social composition of the opera audience through analysis of subscription and adm…
