It explains how the Netherlands upheld and protected its non-belligerency during the First World War despite constant interference from its warring neighbours.

The Art of Staying Neutral makes important contributions to the study of neutrality and the domestic history of the Netherlands in this seminal world event. The Art of Staying Neutral geeft boeiende inzichten in de problemen en uitdagingen van neutraliteit in een tijdperk van 'totale oorlog'. Het boek zet uiteen hoe Nederland zijn neutrale status tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog wist te handhaven en beschermen, ondanks de constante druk van buren die wél in oorlog waren. Neutraal blijven was een kunst die de Nederlanders beheersten door middel van uitgekiende diplomatie, zorgvuldige naleving van internationale wetten, uitgebreide mobilisatie van gewapende eenheden, regelmatige patrouillering langs de landsgrenzen en nauwgezette controle van de onderdanen, maar ook dankzij een flinke dosis geluk. The Art of Staying Neutral levert een belangrijke bijdrage aan de studie van neutraliteit en besteedt ook volop aandacht aan de nationale en internationale gevolgen van de opstelling van Nederland tijdens deze ingrijpende periode uit de wereldgeschiedenis. 2021-02-10T13:58:36Z 2021-02-10T13:58:36Z 2010-12-31 23:55:55 2019-12-10 14:46:32 2020-04-01T15:34:53Z 2006 book 340189 OCN: 85831125 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/35154 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/32385 eng open access image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg n/a n/a n/a https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35154/1/340189.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35154/1/340189.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/35154/1/340189.pdf Amsterdam University Press 10.5117/9789053568187 10.5117/9789053568187 de2ecbe7-1037-4e96-8c3a-5a842d921e04 424 open access
