"Nederland bleef tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog (1914-1918) neutraal. Maar dat betekende niet dat de oorlogvoerenden ons land met rust lieten. Want zowel de Geallieerden als de Centralen probeerden te verhinderen dat hun tegenstanders toegang kregen tot belangrijke markten en grondstoffen en het rijke Nederland. Het belangrijkste nog neutrale handelsland van Europa, werd daarom door beide partijen zwaar onder druk gezet. De Nederlandse regering was bang dat toegeven aan de één door de ander als oorlogsverklaring zou worden gezien en trok zich daarom geheel terug. Zij liet het onderhandelen met de oorlogvoerenden over aan particulieren, die vrijer konden opereren en noodzakelijke compromissen sluiten, zelfs wanneer die indruisten tegen internationaal recht of de neutraliteit. De belangrijkste particuliere organisatie die toen ontstond was de Nederlandsche Overzee Trustmaatschappij (NOT). Dit boek gaat over de werking van deze mysterieuze maar uiterst invloedrijke organisatie, die naast het algemeen ook het eigenbelang van haar rijke eigenaars diende."--Back cover.

"Rather than simply assuming that some states are small and others are big, The Politics of Smallness in Modern Europe delves deep into the construction of different size-based hierarchies in Europe and explores the way Europeans have thought about their own state's size and that of their continental neighbours since the early 19th century. By positing that ideas about size are intimately connected with both basic discourses about a state's identity and policy discourses about the range of options most appropriate to that state, this multi-contributor volume presents a novel way of thinking about what makes one state, in the eyes of both its own inhabitants and those of others, different from others, and what effects these perceived differences have had, and continue to have, on domestic, European, and global politics. Bringing together an international team of historians and political scientists, this nuanced and sophisticated study examines the connections between shifting ideas about a state's (relative) size, competing notions of national interest and mission, and international policy in modern Europe and beyond."--

This book seeks to launch a new research agenda for the historiography of Dutch foreign relations during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It does so in two important ways. First, it broadens the analytical perspective to include a variety of non-state actors beyond politicians and diplomats. Second, it focuses on the transnational connections that shaped the foreign relations of the Netherlands, emphasizing the effects of (post-) colonialism and internationalism. Furthermore, this essay collection highlights not only the key roles played by Dutch actors on the international scene, but also serves as an important point of comparison for the activities of their counterparts in other small states.
