19Decay and the political Gestalt of decline in Bernard Mandeville and his Dutch contemporariesHistory of European Ideas 36 (2): 153-166. 2010.Dutch decline is usually studied as a topic in economic history: when did it really start, what shape did it take? In this article an attempt is made to show the actual awareness of the strengths and weaknesses of the Dutch economy, in the terms used by participants in three public debates. The classical Dutch discourse of decay and decline evolved in response to national and international political reality.

28Sociability and Hugo GrotiusHistory of European Ideas 41 (5): 589-604. 2015.SummaryGrotius has a rudimentary theory of sociability. Only with hindsight has a remark about appetitus societatis been promoted to the starting point of a theory that flourished in the writings of later natural jurists.

Writing in the just war tradition, Grotius is first of all intere…Read more
