Matthew G. Stanard The leopard, the lion, and the cock
colonial memories and monuments in Belgium
The degree to which the late colonial era affected Europe has been long underappreciated, and only recently have European countries started to acknowledge not having come to terms with decolonisation. In Belgium, the past two decades have witnessed a growing awareness of the controversial episodes in the country's colonial past. This volume examines the long-term effects and legacies of the colonial era on Belgium after 1960, the year the Congo gained its independence, and calls into question memories...

Roeland Goorts War, state and society in Liège
how a small state of the Holy Roman Empire survived the Nine Year's War (1688-1697)
Small power diplomacy in seventeenth century Europe. War, State and Society in Liège is a fascinating case study of the consequences of war in the Prince-Bishopric of Liège and touches upon wider issues in early modern history, such as small power diplomacy in the seventeenth century and during the Nine Years' War. For centuries, the small semi-independent Holy Roman Principality of Liège succeeded in preserving a non-belligerent role in European conflicts. During the Nine Years' War (1688-1697),...

Edy Korthals Altes Some reflections on ethical challenges
towards a war-free world
'The spectacular developments in science, technology and the econ'omy confront us with new challenges making it imperative to develop 'global ethics' for an increasingly interdependent world. Serious obstacles are the dynamics of the worldwide market economy, our fascination with endless ‘growth’ on a limited planet and our prevailing attitudes. For many, life has become horizontal, one dimensional, often resulting in a depressing loss of perspective and lack of vision. Fortunately there is a rapidly...

Edy Korthals Altes Space technology and human security
This paper discusses the use of space technology, focussing on its military applications. The emphasis is on the political and ethical aspects. Space technology is exercising a revolutionary impact not only on our way of life but also in the military field. It does not only comprise a variety of satellites and sensors - serving both civilian and military goals. Countless are the peaceful applications but it cannot be denied that it could also become a nightmare, creating hell on earth. Whether that...

Luc Vanacker On that war
reflections on a century of historiography on the origins of the Great War
‘The time of the great debates about the origins of the Great War is over,’ German historian Oliver Janz wrote in 2013; but nothing proved less true. German historian Fritz Fischer had already, in the 1960s, caused a ‘controversy’ by attributing to Germany a ‘substantial’ and even a ‘decisive’ share in the outbreak of the war; but his work was only based on German sources. We had to wait till the early 21st century before academic studies appeared about the Russian (in 2011) and the French (in 2015)...

CIVITAS, Forum of Archives and Research on Christian Democracy Christian democracy and the fall of communism
The role of Christian Democracy in the collapse of the Communist Bloc. Debates on the role of Christian Democracy in Central and Eastern Europe too often remain strongly tied to national historiographies. With the edited collection the contributing authors aim to reconstruct Christian Democracy's role in the fall of Communism from a bird's-eye perspective by covering the entire region and by taking "third-way" options in the broader political imaginary of late-Cold War Europe into account. The book's...
