  • Israel-Palestine: Do not focus on the colonies

    In Europe, Israeli settlements are often portrayed as the greatest obstacle in Middle East peace talks, which are to resume on August 14. In the view of a Dutch historian, this is a mistaken perception arising from an overly simplistic understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

  • Nobel Prize: Another push for peace

    On December 10, the EU is going to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The question is whether this award is justified, given the ongoing euro crisis and the growing discontent. A Dutch historian argues that the award offers the perfect opportunity for Europeans to remind themselves of the European pacification process because now is the time for them to realise that European peace is not a matter of course.

  • Geopolitics: It’s too early to write Europe off

    Economic power is not the only criterion for global power. What matters is how political systems respond to new crises. And from this perspective, the EU is still in with a chance, writes Dutch historian Dirk-Jan van Baar.
