De Nederlanders in het openbaar de les te lezen, maakt ze waarschijnlijk nog koppiger in plaats van minder koppig. En ze zijn al koppig genoeg," schreef een Britse diplomaat in juli 1947. 0Hoe keken de Verenigde Staten, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Frankrijk in de periode 1945-1949 aan tegen de Indonesische onafhankelijkheidsoorlog? Toonden zij vooral begrip voor het Nederlandse politieke en militaire beleid of eerder voor het Indonesische standpunt, en op welke manieren probeerden zij de partijen te beïnvloeden? Waar haalden de Nederlanders hun militaire materieel voor het voeren van de oorlog in Indonesië vandaan? In 'Diplomatie en geweld' wordt naar de internationale context van de Indonesische onafhankelijkheidsoorlog gekeken.0De auteurs laten zien hoe andere landen en de kort daarvoor opgerichte Verenigde Naties betrokken waren bij het Nederlands-Indonesische conflict en het verloop en de uitkomst daarvan mede hebben bepaald. Hierbij richten zij zich niet alleen op de politieke en diplomatieke aspecten van de strijd, maar ook op buitenlandse visies op het gebruik van geweld door de Nederlandse krijgsmacht.

This book presents a new perspective on the trans-Atlantic slave trade and slavery in Western Africa itself, through its examination of the role of commercial agriculture. The idea of promoting the export of agricultural produce from Africa first became central to European thought in the context of the campaign to end the trans-Atlantic slave trade from the late eighteenth century. The eleven essays in this book explore this issue, re-appraising the links between slavery and colonialism and the rise of 'legitimate commerce' which marked the beginnings of economic 'modernity' in West Africa. The development of commercial agriculture in West Africa began with Danish attempts to establish plantations on the Gold Coast (Ghana) from 1788, followed by the British colony of Sierra Leone, after it was taken over by the Sierra Leone Company in 1791. The slave trade itself is also seen to have stimulated commercial agriculture in West Africa, to supply provisions for slave ships in the Middle Passage, and the experience of this trade in provisions may have facilitated the development of other export crops from the nineteenth century onwards. Commercial agriculture was also linked to slavery within Africa, since slaves were widely employed there in agricultural production. Although Abolitionists expected or hoped production of export crops in Africa would be based on free labour, in practice it often tended to promote more extensive and intensive use of slave labour, so that the institution of slavery in Africa persisted into the early colonial period.

While the impact of a colonising metropole on subjected territories has been widely scrutinized, the effect of empire on the colonising country has long been neglected. Recently, many studies have examined the repercussions of their respective empires on colonial powers such as the United Kingdom and France. Belgium and its African empire have been conspicuously absent from this discussion. This book attempts to fill this gap. Belgium and the Congo, 1885-1980 examines the effects of colonialism on the domestic politics, diplomacy and economics of Belgium, from 1880 - when King Leopold II began the country's expansionist enterprises in Africa - to the 1980s, well after the Congo's independence in June of 1960. By examining the colonial impact on its mother country Belgium, this study also contributes to a better understanding of Congo's past and present.
