A.W.F. Idenburg en de moraal van het Nederlands imperialisme. Ik bespreek vier punten. Ten eerste benadruk ik dat het voor lezers en historici belangrijk is de complexiteit van het koloniale verleden te erkennen. Ten tweede laat ik zien dat antikoloniale bewegingen in belangrijke mate aandacht krijgen in mijn boek en dat er inderdaad, zoals Breman stelt, achter de ethische politiek ‘een snoeihard en grootschalig kapitalisme’ zat. Ten derde leg ik uit dat historici die schrijven over een Europees-koloniaal onderwerp niet automatisch ook een eurocentrische benadering toepassen: er bestaat een verschil tussen de tijd van het verleden en de taal over het verleden. Ten vierde probeer ik Bremans verwijt over een bepaalde ‘postkoloniale’ visie te plaatsen in de context van de koloniale historiografie en wijs ik op het belang van historiseren.","PeriodicalId":504931,"journal":{"name":"BMGN - Low Countries Historical Review","volume":"3 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139167748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I investigate the Dutch engagement with the international regulation of deep-sea mining and show that officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs initially manoeuvred to position the Netherlands as a bridge builder between the two competing visions of regulating deep-sea mining. However, as Dutch companies ventured into the deep-sea mining business, conflicts between the ministries of Economic Affairs and Foreign Affairs became more prominent, and the Dutch position became more aligned with other industrialised states. Nonetheless, Dutch officials remained sceptical of plans to pursue an alternative legal regime favourable to business, which the Reagan administration championed. That is why the Netherlands ultimately signed the Law of the Sea, despite strong US opposition.","PeriodicalId":504931,"journal":{"name":"BMGN - Low Countries Historical Review","volume":"6 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139167191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
