Annuaire Europeen 1998 / European Yearbook 1998
The "European Yearbook" promotes the scientific study of nineteen European supranational organisations and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Each volume contains a detailed survey of the history, structure and yearly activities of each organisation and an up-to-date chart providing a clear overview of the member states of each organisation. In addition, a number of articles on topics of general interest are included in each volume. A general index by subject and name, and a cumulative index of all the articles which have appeared in the "Yearbook," are included in every volume and provide direct access to the "Yearbook"'s subject matter. Each volume contains a comprehensive bibliography covering the year's relevant publications. This is an indispensable work of reference for anyone dealing with the European institutions.
Nationality, Migration Rights and Citizenship of the Union
One of the most striking changes contained in the Maastricht Treaty was the establishment of a de jure `citizenship of the Union'. For the first time since the Roman Empire, peoples of Eastern, Western, Northern and Southern Europe share a common legal citizenship status. The significance of this development is potentially profound, yet it is one of the least discussed aspects of the Maastricht Treaty. In this book Stephen Hall examines the legal implications of establishing a European citizenship. He shows that Community law has never given unqualified effect to the Member States' dispositions of their nationalities, and that the Member States have had their sovereign power to confer and wi...

John de Witt, Grand Pensionary of Holland, 1625-1672
Known to his contemporaries for his sharpness of mind, strength of purpose, fortitude, and good humor, John de Witt was a brilliant leader whose career ended in a death of horror rarely paralleled in history. Herbert Rowen's biography embraces all aspects of De Witt's political, intellectual, and personal life, including his role as a mathematician admired by Newton, an "unphilosophical Cartesian," and a political thinker. The author describes De Witt's youth, Dutch society of his day, and his central part in the domestic and foreign politics of the Dutch Republic from 1651 to 1672. He puts De Witt's relation to the House of Orange in a new light, more subtle than in the traditional history....
Creaturen van de macht
For a long time the image of the Dutch Republic in the seventeenth century was that of a predominantly bourgeois, egalitarian and, above all, tolerant society. This book highlights the role of one of its principal representatives, William Frederick of Nassau (1613-1664), to reveal a different image of the Dutch ‘Golden Age’. William Frederick’s extensive yet little researched diaries in particular offer a unique opportunity to examine the meaning and practical implications of patronage in political, religious and other social settings. In doing so, this book identifies distinctive patronage roles, appropriate to different social spheres, thus reconsidering the way patronage influenced early modern politics, determined religious divisions and shaped social identities. This is the first in-depth study of patronage in the Dutch Republic in English, offering a fundamentally new image of a society, which, in all its precarious complexity, generated one of the most splendid ‘Golden Ages’ in European history.
