The European Parliament and the Origins of New Policy Fields
Contributing to the growing literature on post-war European democracy from a transnational and comparative perspective, this article explores the role of the European Parliament in pushing the European Community to engage in new transnational policy fields in the long 1970s. Drawing on a wide range of archival sources, parliamentary debates and media coverage, it compares three then-new issue areas and policy fields with limited or no explicit le…

Towards a social history of European integration
This introduction to the special issue 'Towards a Social History of European integration' takes as its starting point that European citizens have from the early days of European integration engaged with 'Europe' as an emerging political and social entity, be this indirectly, as in the case of German coal miners marching to Bonn, or directly, as exemplified by farmers taking to the streets of Brussels. Moreover, European policies have shaped lived…
'The Rhine as One River'
Asked why and how cross-border environmental governance developed in Western Europe, the 1970s are generally considered a key decade. By taking the historical evolution of the international Rhine regime as a lens, we will argue that the post-war decades need to be taken into account to understand the major changes that took place from the 1970s onwards. In this article, we examine the large variety of state and non-state actors that became involv…

Despite all the woeful tidings, much has been achieved over the past forty years in the effort to 'save the planet', make economic growth sustainable and halt the depletion of natural energy resources and the decline in biodiversity. Essential to these changes have been states with the resources and administrativ…
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,…
On New Land a New Society
State projects aimed at technological innovation and social renewal were a widespread phenomenon in inter-war Europe. This is exemplified by the practice of internal colonisation – the construction of new settlements within state territories – in the Netherlands. This article examines one such case, the reclamation and colonisation of the Wieringermeer in the 1930s, in detail. In doing so, it reveals that the principle of state abstention, which …
