1. Introduction
Introduction
In 2014, the Institute for History took effort to effectively promote the Horizon 2020 programme
among its members. Although the staff of the Institute is familiar with several of the funding schemes
covered by this programme they have less experience with some of the new instruments that have
recently been introduced. A workshop was organized to acquaint the staff more thoroughly with the
opportunities connected to these instruments.
A follow-up to the investigation carried out last year the Institute developed a new didactical course for
PhD candidates in close consultation with staff members and representatives of the PhD’s. Starting in
2015 the new course will be offered to all PhD candidates employed by the Institute.
In terms of research funding in 2014 the Institute was less successful in obtaining grants compared to
the number and size of the subsidies awarded to the Institute’s staff in previous years. Aiming at a
yearly two million euros external funding it was clear that in the past year this target had not been met.
Whether a temporary dip in income or not the management team is confident that many of its
colleagues will successfully participate in upcoming funding competitions.
Horizon 2020
For the Institute for History NWO is still a major player in the field of research funding. Although it is
not to be expected that this will change in the near future, in the course of the years EU funding has
become increasingly important. Staff members have managed to benefit from subsidies awarded in the
context of the Marie Curie Fellowship programme and the ERC starting and advanced grant schemes.
These opportunities are prolonged within the Horizon 2020 programme under the heading Excellent
Science. A new component of this programme consists of the possibility to submit collaborative
projects. Labelled as Societal Challenges researchers are invited to address questions connected to a
number of much debated issues. For historians two challenges seem to be of particular interest: Europe
in a changing world – Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies, and Secure societies – Protecting
freedom and security of Europe and its citizens.
Together with LURIS the Institute on 31 January organized a meeting to discuss the Societal challenges
component of Horizon 2020. Proposals were presented by staff members and commented upon by
colleagues. Background information was provided and practicalities were explained by LURIS. A
number of aspects were considered: the possibility to match curiosity driven research with policy
oriented outcomes meaningful for European societies; the amount of funding to be gained in relation
to the time and energy invested in the preparation of a proposal and the management of a project; the
success rate of proposals submitted in EU-wide competitions and the need to optimize chances and
reduce transaction costs. All attendants agreed that the Societal Challenges window offers interesting
opportunities to collaborate with colleagues across Europe in a fruitful way. There was consensus on
departing from existing networks when building consortia, taking a deliberate decision if one is invited
to participate in a collaborative project and considering carefully the role one wishes to take up in such
a project (f.e. that of principal investigator).
Didactical course for PhD candidates
Based of insights and experiences of staff members and PhD’s and following lengthy discussions a new
in-house didactical course for PhD candidates was designed. The aim of this course is to provide PhD’s
with a short introduction to the Leiden University history programme, the type of courses that are
offered and the way the programme is structured. Moreover, the course is meant to acquaint PhD’s
with the practice of teaching by way of reading literature, making assignments and being involved in a
co-teaching series. The latter implies that PhD’s will be teamed up with senior lecturers and will
accompany them while teaching a class over the course of one semester. The PhD’s will teach at least
two sessions in this series. The learning outcome and final attainment level of the didactical course is
that PhD candidates who have successfully completed the course are capable of independently teaching
a class at the BA-level. The didactical course is a compulsory part of the PhD training programme and
will be taught by senior lecturers of the Institute from 2015.

3. The Unification of the Mediterranean
World (400 BC – 400 AD)
Description
Antiquity, stretching from the end of Prehistory up to and including the appearance of religions with
universal aspirations – such as, for instance, Christianity – was the first period in world history to
witness the development of inter-local and later inter-regional networks of interaction. This occurred
in the first instance in Mesopotamia and Egypt, and later also on the Indian subcontinent and in
China. Later still, this phenomenon became visible in the Mediterranean Region.
The Leiden section specializing in Ancient History concentrates on the study of Graeco-Roman
cultures within the Mediterranian Region, which culminated in the great empires of Alexander the
Great and his successors. The appearance of these empires led to the development of an interaction
network that stretched from the Atlantic Ocean in the West to Afghanistan in the East. Shortly
afterwards, these Greek empires were incorporated into the Roman Empire, the first (and last) panMediterranean empire in world history. These processes of interaction and expansion brought along
with them numerous transformations at local and regional level. As a result, all parties involved,
including the conquerors, were forced to find a new equilibrium in the political, social, economic,
ideological and religious domains. Many of these developments have parallels in the modern world.
The results of modern globalization may well be new and unique, but the process as such can easily be
compared with the integration and homogenization processes taking place in the Greek and Roman
world.
Themes such as local particularism versus uniformity, the economic effects of the appearance of ‘world
empires’ and the tensions between cultural imperialism and the resistance to it, have direct
counterparts in the modern era. This does not mean that we can simply project our modern relations,
concepts and problems onto the antique world. Rather, a detailed study of the Greek monarchies and
the Roman Empire reveals a number of differences compared to later periods that are at least as
interesting as the similarities. It is undeniably true that the empires to be studied displayed a number of
‘modern’ features, such as a close network of cities, a complex social structure, a lively inter-regional
trade, an advanced legal system and, particularly in Late Antiquity, a developing bureaucracy. In
contrast to this, other features are less recognizably modern, for instance the great importance
accorded to the accumulation of money and goods using political means, patronage networks and the
high degree of freedom for local elites to appropriate for themselves primarily agrarian surpluses.
If we consider the administrative aspects of the great Mediterranean empires, we find an intriguing mix
of ambitious ideological claims and limited practical objectives. On the one hand, the rulers of ancient
empires revered the ideal of an unlimited, universal dominion. On the other hand, in these empires,
the exercise of power was based to a large extent on collaboration with local elites, who were granted a
high degree of administrative freedom. Partially due to this fact, these empires provided room for a
multitude of local laws, cultures and religions. From a modern perspective, the Roman exercise of
power can thus be termed ‘extensive’. The economic, social and cultural transformation set in motion
as a result of the interaction and integration processes mentioned earlier cannot be understood
adequately unless we take into consideration these and other essential characteristics of ancient
empires. Incidentally, the lack of a central administrative style in the great Graeco-Roman empires was
also ‘abnormal’ from the perspective of some other pre-industrial empires. For instance, the Chinese
empire of the Han dynasty, a contemporary of the Roman empire, has a much larger, centralised
bureaucratic system which left much less opportunity for any form of local or regional selfgovernment. Curiously, almost no research has so far been carried out into the origins and historical
implications of these types of contrasts. The choice in favour of the research profile sketched above
takes into consideration a number of methodological and technical assumptions that have contributed
to the recent success of the Leiden Ancient History section. One of these assumptions is that the study
of ancient societies must to a large extent be based on the comparative method. Secondly, the Ancient
History section aims to study the ‘unification of the Mediterranean Region’ by making extensive use of
inscriptions, papyri and legal texts. The Leiden expertise in this area is unique from a national
perspective, and very rare, to say the least, worldwide. A third assumption is that in the study of the
Graeco-Roman world, unilateral approaches, either solely from the social-economic perspective, or
from the perspective of the history of mentality must be avoided. In order to make the research
programme outlined above more concrete, a number of research areas have been defined, which will
7
play a central role in future research. First of all, research will focus on the transformation of economic
life in the Mediterranean Region – including motherland Italy – as a result of the development and
continued existence of a pan-Mediterranean Roman Empire. A clear example of this research area is
the VICI project on Peasants, citizens and soldiers: the effects of demographic growth in Roman
Republican Italy (201-88 BC) began in 2004. A second important area for research focuses on the
transformation of urban life and urban culture in the great Mediterranean empires. In line with the
previously mentioned assumptions, research in this area will focus primarily on those areas for which a
large number of documentary sources are available. A good example is the research on the cities of
Asian Minor from the conquests of Alexander the Great to the ‘Third Century Crisis’. Finally, attention
will be given to the transformation of religion, mentality and cultural identity. Research in this field
will focus on unifying tendencies within religion. A concrete example is the emergence of so-called
‘universalistic cults’ from the 4th century BC onwards. In addition, attention will clearly be paid to the
expansion of Christianity, a process that led to an unprecedented religious homogenization of the
Mediterranean Region in the course of the 4th century AD. Although the Ancient History section aims
to include a broad spectrum of social phenomena in its research, the focus on the political unification
of the Mediterranean Region and the attendant processes of change guarantees a high degree of
coherence. In addition, this ensures the creation of a research profile that is attractive on a national and
international level, as well as being specifically recognizable as a Leiden product. Finally, this choice of
research focus creates a solid basis for collaboration between the Ancient History section and fellow
historians in the Leiden History Department, since much research carried out in other sections focuses
on closely related problems, such as political, economic and cultural expansion, migration and
globalization.

Moving Romans. Urbanisation, migration and labour in the Roman Principate
Luuk de Ligt and Rens Tacoma
The aim of the Moving Romans project is to study the relationship between urbanisation, migration
and labour opportunities in Roman Italy in the first two centuries A.D. The central question is to what
extent labour-induced migration was important to the functioning of the towns and cities of Roman
Italy. The project starts from the working hypothesis that the dominance of slavery in some sectors of
18
the urban economy, especially in the domestic sector, reduced labour opportunities for free women. If
this basic idea is correct, most free migrants must have been men, and cities must have been
characterised by a very skewed sex ratio. Since this would have made it impossible for urban
populations to reproduce themselves, it would follow that large-scale migration was a vital prerequisite
for the continued existence of the Roman cities, even more so than in the case of the towns and cities
of later European history, where high levels of urban mortality are commonly identified as the main
reason why urban populations depended for their survival on a continuous influx of free migrants. By
testing this hypothesis against the ancient evidence the project aims to call attention to the crucial
importance of the balance between free and unfree labour as a factor that determined the scale and
nature of migration flows in pre-industrial societies.
While forced migration of unfree labourers has always been important in studies of agricultural
slavery, it has received little attention in studies of migration to towns, for the obvious reason that
most of the existing literature on this topic deals with early-modern and modern Europe where almost
all migrants were free.
In the case of the Roman world, there can be no doubt that the relationships between urbanisation,
migration, and labour were complex. During the first two centuries AD the cities of the empire
blossomed and had flourishing populations. It is often argued that cities could only maintain their
populations thanks to an influx of outsiders. However, who these migrants were and how they were
absorbed by the urban labour market are questions, which have hardly been studied.
The proposed project aims to fill several gaps simultaneously. The interrelationships between
urbanisation, labour opportunities and migration in the Roman world have never been systematically
investigated. Moreover, each of these three subjects is in its own right fundamental to the
understanding of Roman society. One of the central assumptions is that each of the three constituent
elements cannot be studied in the absence of the other two; but also that the interrelationship between
the three is in urgent need of conceptualisation.

Building Tabernae
Miko Flohr
Building Tabernae is a NWO Veni Project based at the University of Leiden (2013-2017) carried out by
Dr. Miko Flohr. The project focuses on urban commercial space in Roman Italy and deals with the
impact of economic growth on urban communities in the late Republic and the Imperial period (200
BCE – 300 CE). It will investigate how favourable economic circumstances under the Roman Empire
fostered the emergence of new and more ambitious forms of investment in commercial space, and it
aims to understand how this transformed the physical and social fabric of the cities of the Italian
peninsula.
The project will use archaeological and textual evidence and belongs to the field of ancient history as
much as it belongs to that of classical archaeology. Thematically, it operates on the interface of social
and economic history and explores to which degree economic developments fostered social change. It
specifically attempts to connect two highly vibrant debates: the debate about Roman urbanism and
that about Roman economic life.
Roman Urbanism
Both debates have seen significant development over the last decades. Discourse on Roman urbanism
has moved away from the traditional emphasis on (monumental) architecture and urban planning
towards studying urban landscapes in a more integrated manner (seminal is Laurence 1994). Discourse
on Roman economic life has developed beyond the consumer city debate that dominated the field in
the 1990s (e.g. Mattingly 1997; Erdkamp 2001), now focusing more and more on the social and spatial
contexts of economic processes (Mouritsen 2001; Robinson 2005; Flohr 2007).
Yet, while these debates play a central role in Roman scholarship and thematically increasingly overlap,
they interact only to a limited degree. Consequently, the relation between economic developments and
developments in urbanism is not well understood. This significantly impedes our understanding of
19
Roman history. This project will contribute to filling this gap.
An empire of 2000 cities: urban networks and economic integration in the Roman Empire
John Bintliff and Luuk de Ligt
The central aims of this project are to establish the shapes of the various urban hierarchies existing in
the provinces of the Roman Empire and (especially) to use the quantitative properties of these
hierarchies to shed new light on levels of economic integration. Should we conceptualize the urban
system of the Roman world as a collection of cellular modules which were only loosely connected by
the imposition of a rudimentary administrative superstructure and by resource flows of limited
significance? Or did the creation of an overarching empire favour the emergence of an economically
well-integrated urban network or at least the growth of certain nodal points which helped to tie the
empire together by mediating resource flows between regions? Key topics to be explored include the
physical size of cities, the overall shape of regional urban hierarchies, the role of harbour cities in
connecting various parts of the empire, and the economic implications of the emergence and existence
of large provincial capitals and other primate cities.
Building on spatial and economic theories from various disciplines, the project starts from the working
hypothesis that the urban system of the Roman empire possessed a number of unique features which
set it apart from that of the various urban system existing in the same geographical area during the
early-modern period. While some of these features (such as the size of Rome) can plausibly be
attributed to the fact that the Roman empire was much larger than the empires and emerging nation
states of early-modern times, the project aims to demonstrate that the specific configuration of
regional urban hierarchies in the Roman world also reflects levels of economic integration which fell
dramatically short of those achieved in various parts of early-modern Europe.

4. Collective Identities and Transnational
Networks in Europe, 1000-1800
Description
Recent concerns about cultural identity underline the ongoing political and social importance of the
question of how, and with whom, people identify. Changing and conflicting identities were highly
relevant for premodern Europe. Paradoxically, the more powerful states became, the more their rulers
tended to depend on good relations with their social elites. Since such elites often identified themselves
primarily with local communities, regions or other group interests, the creation of (proto-)national
loyalties was problematic.
Well-advised rulers, therefore, expended considerable energy on creating loyalty through patronage
networks increasingly based on their courts. New forms were added to traditional media for delivering
political messages, such as pageants and spectacles. The wide circulation of pamphlets and newspapers
gradually changed the nature of political communication, creating new forms of religious and political
engagement.
In the centuries between 1000 and 1800, state borders certainly were not the primary focus of collective
identification. On the one hand, regions within composite states continued to compete with one
another, whereas, on the other hand, transnational networks often proved to be surprisingly resistant
to political division. Even while their rulers were at war, trade networks continued to tie together
Spanish, Flemish, and Dutch economic and financial interests. From the fifteenth century onwards the
world of Europeans expanded to include the Americas, African and Asian coastal areas. However, at
the same time the Mediterranean continued to serve as a conduit for commercial, political and cultural
exchanges between Muslim North-Africa and West Asia with Europe.
Cultural networks transcended national borders. Until 1520, Europe shared one dominant religion.
Soon, the schism in the Roman Church would create transnational interest groups and streams of
refugees while it also reinforced new confessional alliances in international politics. Süleyman the Lawabiding watched the rise of Lutheranism with interest; Francis I of France actively sought his alliance,
an initiative soon followed by the English and the Dutch. Throughout this period, a recognizably
European intellectual culture prevailed, which played an essential role in the fast transfer of knowledge,
religious and political ideas.
In this world of constantly changing borders, strong local political traditions, profitable transnational
trade, and dense networks of international relations, ‘identity’ was never monolithic. The changing
relationship between local identities and the centres of royal or imperial power was a key issue
everywhere in Europe, from relatively unitary states such as France and England to the composite
monarchies ruled by the Habsburgs. It forms an overarching theme in the historical research of the
medievalists and early modernists at Leiden University. Currently our research focuses on three
dimensions of collective identity.
The first touches on relations between subjects and rulers. Research projects study the interdependence
between local administrations and supra local/regional elite formation; the tensions caused by attempts
at political and administrative centralization; and the intercultural comparison of dynastic empires that
rose in Europe, West South-Asia, and East-Asia. The second dimension concerns the operation of
trade networks that increasingly were subjected to the realities and requirements of international
politics. Cultural identities and cultural transfers are the third dimension. Here, a major focus is on the
way in which Europeans engaged with the past, through historical writing, but also through other
cultural practices. A major research project on memory and identity formation examines the lasting
social, political and cultural impact of civil war on early modern identities.

VICI project: Tales of the Revolt, Memory, Oblivion and Identity in the Low
Countries, 1566-1700
Judith Pollmann
This research project, which started in September 2008, aims to explore how personal and public
memories of the Dutch Revolt in the seventeenth century evolved and interacted to create new political
and cultural identities for the societies that eventually were to become the kingdoms of the
Netherlands and Belgium. While on both sides of the new border there emerged a body of ‘canonic’
knowledge about the Revolt against the Spanish Habsburgs, this simultaneously involved the conscious
eradication of other aspects of the past, meaning that two radically different versions of the same past
came to prop up two distinctive ‘national’ identities.
The first aim of this project is to investigate how these versions of the past came into being, to what
extent they were assimilated by individual Netherlanders, and how they contributed to identity
formation. The project builds on the surge of scholarly interest in the phenomenon of ‘collective’ or
‘social’ memory – the way in which societies remember and deploy the past. Research on the twentieth
century has shown that individual memories will evolve in response to those of other people, or those
that are promulgated in the public domain – thus contributing to the formation of group identity. Few
scholars have so far tried to map the interaction between personal and public memory before 1800.
The second aim of this project is to show that this is both possible and worthwhile. By exploring
storytelling about the Revolt in memoirs, chronicles and many other sources, we will gauge the impact
of different ‘memory policies’ on early modern populations that shared the same past but that became
politically and confessionally divided. This situation was not unique to the Netherlands, and the
project aims to offer insights that can be applied to other parts of Europe, as well as a better
understanding of the differences between early modern and modern memory.
Commemoration and Community. Mediating local memories of the Dutch
Revolt in the Low Countries, 1566-1700 (PhD project)
Marianne Eekhout
The subproject Commemoration and Community focuses on local memories of the Dutch Revolt in
the Dutch Republic and the Southern Netherlands. Memory cultures varied considerably from town to
town. After the Revolt, some towns drew attention to their role as victims of the cruel Dutch or
Spanish soldiers whereas others presented themselves as victors, or tried to cover up their part in the
Revolt. This project seeks to chart both why and how such memory cultures came into existence,
however, and under what conditions they could continue to survive and be deployed to support local
identity or local political positions and reputations. There have been claims that local magistrates
pursued an active memory policy and engaged in memory ‘management’, but whether they were the
most important players is still unclear. Various other actors such as religious groups, families or guilds
also had the ability and power to influence the decisions of which memories should be forgotten and
which ought to be remembered. These uncertainties provoke other questions related to memory
studies and especially to the way in which memories took shape in the seventeenth century. How does
a memory culture develop? Is it the result of a contest between factions and individuals? To what
extent could versions of the past coexist?
Did the population know which groups advocated which memories? Could certain memories be
adapted when new stories turned up? All these questions will play an important role in this project. In
addition, this project seeks to explore local memory cultures as a multimedia phenomenon. It will be
based on literary sources and archival material, but also on commemorative objects including
paintings, prints and a wide range of material and immaterial objects – gable stones, tapestries,
windows, ceramics, or ‘relics’ of the Revolt years, as well as local rituals, place names and lieux de
mémoire. All these media have their own messages and audiences, they will be studied both
individually and collectively in order to understand their position and meaning in the memory process.
Exile memories and the reinvention of the Netherlands (PhD project)
Johannes M. Müller
This research project examines the role of memories of war and exile among Netherlandish refugees
and their descendants in the Netherlands, Germany and England from the beginning of the Dutch
Revolt until 1700. The main objective is to explain how and in which forms images of the past lived on
41
in the Dutch exile communities and how memories about the war and the lost homeland contributed
to the formation of new social identities in the Low Countries and abroad. To meet this objective, this
study will focus on a) the social structures and institutions, through which memories were shaped and
preserved, b) an analysis of the ‘semantics’ of exile, i.e. the social meanings that were attributed to this
phenomenon, and c) the changing topical and intertextual traditions in which exile memories were
modelled and articulated. Leaving behind their hometowns and local social networks which were held
together by mechanisms of trust and reputation, exiles were forced to redefine themselves and to
fashion identities that were acceptable and recognizable in the new society. Especially Southerners, who
had fled to the Republic were immensely active in publishing pamphlets and other literature, in which
they presented themselves as compatriots of their hosts, ‘Netherlanders’, who sought refuge for the
sake of their faith.
Whereas the inhabitants of the Low Countries had previously defined themselves by referring to local
rather than to national identities, exiles began to appeal to ‘the common fatherland’ of all
Netherlanders or to the unity of trans-local religious confessions. So far, the role exile memories played
in the formation of new confessional and ‘proto-national’ constructions of Netherlandish identity has
scarcely been examined. This study will do so, in the belief that this can offer valuable insights into the
development of two distinct Netherlandish states and identities as well as the emergence of new
confessional self-images.
The politics of memory in the Low Countries (PhD project)
Jasper van der Steen
The Dutch Revolt tore apart the seventeen Netherlands and led to the formation of two states that were
at war until the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. Long before 1648, however, it had already become evident
that the division between North and South was likely to be permanent. Due to the rift between the two
Netherlands, diametrically opposed views on the origin of the Revolt developed. Although there is an
extensive literature on the political fissure between North and South, the process by which views on a
shared history diverged and led to different interpretations of a common past has received less
attention. Comparative studies that include both the Northern and Southern Netherlands are also
lacking.
This subproject offers a political and transnational perspective on the development and uses of public
memories of the Revolt in the seventeenth century. It will supplement the local and individual
perspectives studied by other members of the team, and will show how different memory
environments influenced identity formation in the Northern and Southern Netherlands. By offering a
comparison of public memory formation in a decentralised, Republican polity and a monarchical
political system, it should also be able to contribute to a better understanding of the way in which
political systems affected early modern memory formation in general. Accordingly, this project seeks to
explore how and why different Netherlandish canons of the history of the Revolt came into being, how
the contents and (political) uses of these narratives developed in the course of the seventeenth century;
and the extent to which these narratives influenced the formation of new and irreconcilable self-images
in the northern and southern provinces. How did memory and identity mutually influence one
another in this process?
Towards a new history of (early) modern memory
Judith Pollmann
Most scholars who study memory believe that people in different cultures have different ways of
remembering. This implies that it should be possible to write a history of memory. Outlines of such a
history can be found in various modern theories of memory, which often contain a macro-historical
component. They usually posit an evolution of memory and memory practices away from the organic,
local, traditional and collective towards the synthetic, novel and individual. The timeframe in which
this development is placed is usually quite unspecific, but broadly ‘premodern’. While the theories can
and do refer to what is now really a mountain of evidence on memory practices post 1800, they have
considered hardly any evidence for pre modern memory. Yet so far as current macro historical theories
are supported with early modern evidence at all, this is usually derived from studies on early modern
concepts of memory, and the evidence that has been collected to support other generic narratives of
the coming of modernity; the discovery of the self, the rise of the public sphere, the nation and
historical theory. What they do not consider is evidence for actual early modern memory practices. In
recent years early modernists have been doing quite a lot of interesting work on actual remembering as
it was done by early modern people. Modern scholars have transformed the world of custom,
42
community and tradition that Nora so confidently identified as the settings of ‘milieux de mémoire’,
into a much more complex and dynamic phenomenon. They have emphasised how early modern
culture integrated and domesticated change on the one hand, while at the same time innovating much
more radically than itself was willing to admit. This project will attempt to bridge the gap between the
macro-historical narratives of the memory theorists, and the evidence for early modern memory
practices. The aims are both to improve and rethink the macro-historical narratives, and because it
might help early modernists themselves to think more systematically about continuity and change in
the shape and uses of memory in this period. To achieve this aim, this project will pursue two routes.
The first is a comparison over time, through a study of modern and early modern memory practices,
with a focus on those related to civil wars. The second focuses on identifying and explaining changes in
memory by departing from the early modern period. The idea here is to exploring a number distinctive
features of the ways in which early modern people engaged with the past, and the impact of these on
memory practices, before examining the extent to which, and the reasons why, these transformed over
time.
Project: Twilight zone: party strife, factionalism, and feuding in the Northern
Low Countries.
Peter Hoppenbrouwers
During the final centuries of the Middle Ages the Low Countries were ridden by violent clashes
between what contemporary sources called partes (Middle Dutch: partien/pertien), a word that may be
translated as parties or factions, dependent on the extent of their goals, recruitment and activities.
Exactly this ambiguous setting, in a twilight zone between the supra-local and the local, as well as
between a ‘public’/political and a ‘private’/familial field of action, makes party strife and factionalism
attractive subjects of innovative historical research, that can contribute to a better understanding of the
often neglected counterweights that were build-up against the slow but relentless rise of the modern
state in Western Europe during the late medieval and early modern periods. This project’s aim is to
increase our knowledge of party strife and factionalism substantially along two tracks: by extending
existing knowledge geographically and thematically, and by looking for completely new angles that join
in with international research. In this particular case the theme of party strife and faction quarrels will
be linked to four phenomena that are generally considered to have been typical for dealing with
political tension in later medieval society: feuding, bastard feudalism, the creation of bargaining
networks, and popular revolts. The project consists of three subprojects, in which three quite different
variations on the theme of party strife and factionalism are developed for the last three territories in the
Northern Low Countries to be formally incorporated into the Burgundian-Habsburg empire: (prince
less) Friesland West of the Lauwers, the Prince-bishopric of Utrecht, and the Duchy of Guelders.
Eurasian empires: integration processes and identity formations. A comparative program
Jeroen Duindam
What holds people together, what makes them willing to fit within larger political structures? Our
program looks at answers provided by the practices of dynastic rulership in Eurasian empires ca. 13001800. These loose structures accommodated numerous groups under their rule and some showed
remarkable resilience over time. We study patterns of compliance and resistance, mostly from the
perspective of the dynastic centre. In the process, we reassess age-old images of Asia and Europe. While
we focus on the key question of integration and identity, our project also takes into account the global
connections and conjunctures increasingly manifest from the thirteenth century onwards.
The Eurasian Empires program, endorsed by NWO in 2009 in the first round of its G or Horizon
program, started in June 2011 and will continue until the summer of 2016. It brings together a team of
senior researchers based in three Dutch universities: Leiden University (with the principal applicant J.
Duindam and J. Gommans, Leiden coordinates the program), Universiteit van Amsterdam (M. van
Berkel) and the Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen (P. Rietbergen). Together these supervisors coach six
PhD-researchers and two postdocs. The program’s budget totals ca. two million euros.
Each of these eight researchers focuses on a specific project within the program’s overall scope,
covering Europe, West-, South- and East Asia (see http://hum.leiden.edu/history/eurasia/). While the
projects take shape on the basis of specific language expertise and the study of primary sources,
researchers define joint themes and produce joint papers. In this way the program as a whole seeks to
bridge the gap between approaches of global history distant from sources and languages and the
specialized studies of regional experts.

5. Political Culture and National Identities
Description
Leiden has its own tradition in the field of political and national history. More than at other Dutch
universities, research is conducted into the national, often political history of individual countries in
Europe and beyond. Such a focus on national history is no longer common practice within the field.
However, if this focus is problematised, it still remains a fruitful basis for a study of the past. The
construction of national identities is not least a question of political action in the broadest sense of the
word, and it therefore makes sense to study these matters in their relation to one another. This step
seems all the more obvious if, in thinking of politics, we think primarily of political culture: on the one
hand, the cultural aspects of the political realm itself, and on the other hand the broad social-cultural
and cultural-intellectual embedding of politics. In both respects, political culture has to a large extent
developed in national contexts and, conversely, ‘national identity’ is often simply another word for
traditions in the field of political culture.
Problematising ideas concerning national identity is also closely related to problematising the accepted
assumptions about established politics. Leiden University, more than any other university, offers an
ideal environment for the study of this complex, due to the presence among its historians of so many
country specialists and specialists in the history of the European Union. The parallel presence of these
specialisations does not automatically lead to collaboration. Among historians, it has long been a habit
to concentrate on one country and to study this country in its unique characteristics (The German
Sonderweg, Great-Britain versus the Continent, l’exception française, The Netherlands as an exception
to the general human pattern, American exceptionalism, etc.), while the study of the history of Europe
and European unification was effected in a separate area of research.
In recent decades, an increasing amount of criticism has been voiced concerning the nationally
oriented historical tradition, and calls have been made for more comparative research. In practice,
however, it proves to be far from easy for a historian (as opposed to, for instance, a sociologist) to
study history from a comparative perspective. Comparative history begins with placing a number of
national cases side by side, but it is, of course, far more than that. Expertise in the field of national
history will probably reach its full potential if, rather than concentrating on separate juxtaposed
national cases, historians focus instead on the connections between them. To this end, the German and
French history of ideas tradition has developed the concept of ‘culture transfer’, i.e. the adoption of
foreign examples and the inspiration of which they engender.
This concept can easily be transferred to the political domain, for instance with regard to social
movement, parties and parliaments, and the use of symbols and material objects. In the attempt to
escape the pressure of the national template in research (whereby national phenomena are
automatically understood and explained in terms of national developments), the concept of political
transfer is an important heuristic tool. In addition, Europe and international or supra-national
organisations, such as those involved in post-War European unification, can then be studied as
platforms of political transfer.

Organizing the Masses: The Contested Nature of Early Irish, British and American
Pressure Groups, 1820-1840
Maartje Janse
In the early nineteenth century, Irish, British and American pressure groups opposing, for
example, slavery or the British Corn Laws, introduced a new type of politics: mass politics.
This did not go unnoticed. Some contemporaries expressed enthusiasm about the fact that
people who were formally excluded from political life could now engage in politics without
breaking the law or making revolution. Others despised the influence an organization could
gain by efficient fund raising and the distribution of propaganda, and feared that this
development would corrupt the proper functioning of the political system.
This project asks why these early pressure groups were so heavily contested. The working
hypothesis is that there was much at stake: the debate on pressure groups was essentially a
debate over democracy. In the post-revolutionary context, the future of politics was unclear.
What was considered good politics, who should participate, and in what way? For
contemporaries, this was by no means an academic debate. Their social position was at stake.
Those who had little social standing and were excluded from the political process (women,
members of the (lower) middle class or ethnic and religious minorities) aspired to be
accepted as worthy members of civil society and political life. The members of the social elite
who represented the political establishment in turn feared the loss of their privileged
position.
By making use of biographical sketches and digitized nineteenth-century newspapers, I will
be able to reconstruct the debate on the merits and perils of the first pressure groups.
Historians have devoted much energy to the study of individual movements, but following
the observations of contemporaries, the modern pressure group was a phenomenon in its
own right. Exciting and promising, or threatening and unethical - it heralded the advent of
mass politics.
The VENI-project is closely related to the project ‘The Promise of Organization. Political
Associations, 1820-1890, Debate and Practice’ (awarded in the Vrije Competitie
Geesteswetenschappen) coordinated by Dr. Maartje Janse and Prof. Dr. Henk te Velde.
The Promise of Organization. Political Associations, 1820-1890, Debate and Practice
Henk te Velde, Maartje Janse
Political parties have often been seen as obstacles on the road to true democracy, and as
instruments of over-ambitious career politicians. And before modern parties even existed,
political associations were seen as dangerous ‘machines’, producing ‘oligarchies’. Still, the
modern voluntary association was ‘democratic’ because it integrated ordinary men and
women into the political process in a disciplined, civilized manner. Without it, many people
would never have been able to use the political system. Voluntary organizations could fit
into the system of representative government, which rejected unrestrained popular passions,
but also be an instrument of mobilizing the common people. The contested machine-like
appearance of voluntary organizations and political parties was the nearest one could get to
the ideal of respectable democratization. This program will focus on the enthusiasm,
arguments and concrete activities of the organizers as well as the criticism offered by
opponents of modern political organization. The three projects focus on three waves of
associational mania and debate: modern antislavery organizations and other early pressure
groups; organizing during the revolutions of 1848; mass political parties during the 1870s
and 1880s. Together they give an overview of the introduction of organizations into politics.
We will study the separate discussions about the merits and dangers of voluntary
associations and political parties as parts of a general debate during the 19th century, and
assume that the intensity of the debate was caused by the controversial issue of
78
democratization and the related issue of inclusion and exclusion. By studying the contested
nature of modern organizations, and in particular by thick description of the perception and
introduction of new forms of organization, by biographical research, and by studying the
debate on organizing in particular in (recently digitized) newspapers, the program will
elucidate one of the most hotly debated issues of modern politics.

Historicizing Security. Enemies of the state, 1813-present
Beatrice de Graaf
After 1945, the (re-) construction of parliamentary democracies was paralleled by the
development of a national security state: a system of organisations, policy procedures and
other instruments directed at promoting national security – as well as the underlying
ideology, culture and perceptions. How and why did this happen?
Parliamentary democracies entertain an ambivalent relationship with national security. As
open societies, they are more vulnerable to external threats, but at the same time they require
public legitimacy to adopt security measures – which themselves might contradict
democratic values. This project compares national security regimes in three Western
democracies (the Netherlands, the U.S. and [West-] Germany) during the 1945-2010 period.
It will provide a new view on postwar security history since it firstly rejects the ‘essentialist’
approach to threats and interests undertaken by traditional security studies and does not
take for granted balance-of-power explanations for the build-up of military stocks and other
security instruments. It rather brings the concept of national security to discussion and
investigates why and how certain security threats and interests were perceived and gave rise
to security measures (whereas others were overlooked), by exploring the political and social
determinants that inform these measures. In the second place it will explore how these
interests and threats were contested and how national security regimes transformed over
time. Thirdly, it will demonstrate how the national security state became a defining aspect of
parliamentary democracies. Through processes of identifying and excluding certain groups
as threats to national security, the arena of democratic politics was redefined.
The project adds to our understanding of the ‘iron spine’ of parliamentary democracies: the
development of a national security state. It will analyze different types of national security
regimes, the way they are determined, how ‘enemies of the state’ are constructed and how
these regimes transformed through stages of contentious politics.
In this project we will ask the following questions:
Who were the decision-makers regarding the new national security infrastructures?
What were their intentions, what threats did they identify? What factors did propel them to
construct these images of national security threats and interests?
Did these measures and corresponding threats possess political legitimacy?
Did the decision-makers and/or their measures mobilize public and political support?
Did the new security instruments change the underlying security regimes and culture, did
they create new security and threat images?
In answering these questions, we will learn more about the way national security lies at the
heart of modern western democracies, and to what extent national security is intertwined
with both the political legitimacy conferred on the government by its citizens and the way
governments strive to uphold their position of legitimate power by defining threats and
dangers to their order.

The Development of a Secret State. The Intelligence & Security Services and
their contribution to the National Security State, 1945-1989
Constant Hijzen
How did a professional ‘secret state’, consisting of a system of intelligence & security
services, as well as the underlying assumptions on national security threats and interests
79
came into existence after 1945? Which national security measures were carried out
(establishment of bureaus, organisations as well as concrete measures such as ‘internment
lists’, occupational bans in government institutions), and what where the underlying threat
assumptions? Was this process of constructing a secret state made subject to parliamentary
or public control? How did parliament, opposition, society react to these security measures?
Military legitimacy during the Cold War: The Dutch army and its criticasters
Coreline Boot
The onset of the Cold War brought to the fore new international and national threats to the
military. On an international level, Moscow and its allies became a permanent military and
political danger. Nationally, organizations from inside and outside the army started to
criticize the military culture, its national and international security policy (including the
Dutch contribution to the NATO), or even doubted the legitimacy of the military institution
itself.
The VIDI-project already resulted in a number of articles, a special issue of Tijdschrift voor
Geschiedenis (Volume 125, No. 3), a special issue of Historical Social Research (forthcoming),
Journal of Modern European History (forthcoming) a website
(http://hum.leiden.edu/history/enemies-of-the-state/) and a collaboraty
(http://collab.vuw.leidenuniv.nl/sites/enemies-of-the-state/seminar-securitydispositives/
Pages/default.aspx). A Research Network on Securitization was furthermore
created in cooperation with social scientist Willem Schinkel that resulted in a series of
seminars and an edited volume on securitization (forthcoming).
Democratization and political terrorism: The formation and destruction of the
two-party system in the Red River Valley of Louisiana, 1865-1878
Adam Fairclough
This project analyzes the failure of Congressional Reconstruction after the American Civil
War. It treats Reconstruction as an effort by the Republican party to democratize the states of
the former Confederacy on the basis of universal suffrage and equal citizenship By giving
voting rights to black men, the Republicans hoped to control the South politically and
thereby protect the newfound citizenship of the former slaves. The majority of southern
whites, however, refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of black suffrage and the
Republican state and local governments that black voters supported. Instead of accepting
the new two-party system, they used the Democratic party as a vehicle to reestablish white
supremacy by means of destroying the Republican party. The project, which employs two
PhD candidates, focuses on the Red River Valley of Louisiana, a region where blacks
constituted a majority of the voters, and where the Democratic party used violence,
intimidation, and electoral fraud to dislodge the Republicans. This kind of political
terrorism exposed the weakness of the federal authorities and postponed the
democratization of the southern states for one hundred years.
The Scholarly Self: Character, Habit, and Virtue in the Humanities, 1860-1930
Herman Paul, Christiaan Engberts , Léjon Saarloos , Katharina Manteufel
Why did 'character', 'habit', and 'virtue' serve as key terms in late 19th and early 20th-century scholarly
correspondences, biographies, and obituaries? Why did scholars around 1900 display so much interest
in the working habits and character traits of what they called the 'scholarly self'?
Focusing on the humanities around 1900, this project examines the hypothesis that many of those who
laid the foundations of modern disciplinary infrastructures saw 'discipline formation' as a project that
not only required professorial chairs and scientific periodicals, but also, and especially, a disciplining of
the scholar's body, heart, and mind. Their emphasis on the exercise of scholarly habits (e.g., disciplined
time management) and character virtues (e.g., impartiality) is therefore best understood as an attempt
to provide emerging humanities disciplines with an appropriate research ethic.
If this hypothesis is correct, it will alter our understanding of scholarly discipline formation. It will
correct one-sided accounts of discipline formation in institutional and/or methodological terms by
drawing attention to a personal dimension, consisting of a disciplining of the scholar's 'self'.
Four subprojects examine (1) how 'scholarly selfhood' was envisioned by late 19th and early 20thcentury humanities scholars, (2) how these scholars implemented their ideals of scholarly selfhood, (3)
how they monitored the observance of these ideals in day-to-day research, and (4) what kind of
80
contexts and conditions enabled these ideals to flourish around 1900. Each of the subprojects focuses
on one or more humanities disciplines, in one or more European countries. Their main sources
include scholarly letters, (auto) biographies, obituaries, lecture notes, and methodology manuals.
Although the project focuses on the humanities, it includes a conference aimed at comparing scholarly
selfhood in the humanities with its role in medicine, law, chemistry, and physics, thereby placing its
results in a wider framework and paving the way for follow-up research.

6. Colonial and Global History
Description
One of the central themes of the history of the last five hundred years is the phenomenon
currently referred to as the process of globalisation. In this process, a central role has been
played in the past by the phenomenon of Western European expansion, the various ways in
which other continents responded to this and the developments resulting from this
expansion. Globalisation means the emergence of a world economy, worldwide migration
flows, the birth of nation states and many other phenomena. Central to this history are the
early activities of the chartered trading companies, the rise of colonial empires and
enterprises, resistance movements, wars of independence and decolonization, all of which
have left us their archives whose unique character stems from the interaction between
expanding and contracting Europe and the rest of the world. It is therefore no coincidence
that this history has its own historiography and its own journals. Owing to the rich
economic, anthropological and political data they contain, ‘colonial’ archives are also of
inestimable value in the study of the autochthonous history of non-Western areas, as
demonstrated by the success of the TANAP and ENCOMPASS projects which the history
department of Leiden University is presently carrying out in close cooperation with
academic institutions in Asia and South Africa. The scholarly and societal importance of
studying the history of European expansion and global interaction cannot be
overemphasized.
The history department plays an important role in the study of global history. As early as
1902, Leiden University offered lectures on ‘colonial history’, but from the 1950s onwards
turned towards ‘global history’. This concept should not be understood in the sense of the
comparative method, but as an approach, which focuses on the study of emerging global
connections in history. As the American historian Patrick Manning puts it: ‘Connection
conveys the character of world historical analysis better than any other term. It
acknowledges locality and uniqueness, yet also invokes broad patterns.’ (Navigating World
History: Historians Create a Global Past 2003).
In this context, the history department of Leiden University centres on the study of global
interaction processes making use of the wide range of primary sources available in the broad
environment of the university. Leiden possesses in this respect a unique infrastructure for
the use of both primary and secondary source materials. Not only are the rich archives of the
VOC, the WIC and the former Ministry of Colonies in the National Archives in The Hague
located at a fifteen minutes distance by public rail system from Leiden, but the Leiden
University Library also houses the entire library collection of the former Ministry of
Colonies, while the KITLV and Africa Studies Centre have world famous collections on
Caribbean, Southeast Asian and African history. In addition, Leiden is home to other
libraries and instances which are involved in the study of the world outside Europe and
which belong to the largest in their fields in Europe. The Leiden MA and MPhil programmes
offer students from within and outside the Netherlands thorough training in the use of these
primary sources while they are carrying out their research. A follow-on PhD track is also
offered, with a clearly recognizable individual character. In this way, the history department
has created a niche for itself in the field of global history focusing on the search for
connections and the origins of the migration and transfer of people, beliefs, goods and ideas
within and among the continents.

Presentation of the film ‘Airtime’ at the Museum, London about Information and Communication
Technology in Africa. Produced by Mirjam de Bruijn & Sjoerd Sijsma
The Information and Communication Technology ‘revolution’ in Africa has been an important force
of social and economic change. This film exists of five parts, each part tells a mini story of change in
relation to ICT: phone use (mobile communities), credit sales, gender, phone reparation and the
historical developments. It is a visual experience and thought story of the appropriation of technology
by Africans and how it is transforming lives

Dutch connections: the circulation of people, goods and ideas in the Atlantic
world, 680-1795
Gert Oostindie, Karel Davids (VU), Femme Gaastra and Henk den Heijer
The early modern era witnessed the emergence of an integrated Atlantic world connecting Europe,
Africa, and the Americas, including the West Indies. These parts of the western hemisphere were
connected by the circulation of people, goods and ideas. This integrated Atlantic world disappeared in
a few decades after the Revolutionary era due to several causes, particularly the end of the slave trade
and the decolonisation of the Americas. In recent years, it has increasingly become clear that Dutch
activities in this Atlantic world were of far greater significance than historians hitherto assumed. This
project focuses on the Dutch dimension of the integrated Atlantic World between 1680 and 1795. The
pivotal and indeed exceptional role of the Dutch in the Atlantic world was not one of empire-builders,
but one of middlemen and brokers, who greased the Atlantic economic machine with unrivalled credit
facilities and a myriad of commodities and distribution channels. This project aims to analyze how the
Dutch networks functioned in this Atlantic world system and to explain to what extent and why these
networks changed during this period. The analysis relates to the circulation of people and goods as well
as to that of ideas. The project will not only generate more insight into the relevance of the Atlantic
dimension to Dutch history, but will also contribute to the rapidly expanding international field of
‘Atlantic history’ at large. The research will focus on four (clusters of) pivotal centres at both sides of
the Atlantic (Amsterdam/Rotterdam; Paramaribo; Curaçao/St. Eustatius; Elmina). Each of these
centres is considered to be a major junction in the flow of people, goods and ideas connecting the three
continents of the Dutch Atlantic and its multinational environment. The project will result in a
synthesizing monograph and an edited volume, two monographs, a number of articles in international
and national journals, two doctoral dissertations (one of which primarily financed from other sources),
a number of papers at international conferences, and digital databases. These publications will be
mostly in English in order to contribute to the burgeoning field of Atlantic studies.

The Institute for History has long been host to scholarly communities in the field of colonial and
global history. Following in the footsteps of the TANAP program (1999-2006) and ENCOMPASS
(2006-2012), August 2012 saw the inception of Cosmopolis. Cosmopolis represents a common
endeavor of Leiden University and the National Archives at The Hague to extend the accessibility and
study of all Dutch sources pertaining to Asia by deepening the cooperation with Asian universities,
archives and local cultural institutions. It has grown into a research community with monthly
seminars, events, and excursions to archives and places of historical interest. Aside from Encompass,
students and researchers from three other programs are also part of Cosmopolis: DIKTI, Erasmus
Mundus IBIES and the LUF-funded Leiden-UGM joint degree program. Cosmopolis is managed by
Carolien Stolte.
Cosmopolis builds directly on the previous ENCOMPASS (Encountering a Common Past in Asia)
program. Encompass saw its inception in 2006 as an education program for Asian students
(BA3/MA/MPhil). All students started with a conversion year at BA3 level, during which they learned
Dutch and started working with primary research materials. After the first year, students joined the
MA or MPhil at the Institute for History. The Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OC&W)
made a total of twelve yearly grants available for Asian students for a two or three year stay in Leiden in
the period from 2006 to 2011. The last two MPhil students from the fifth and final batch are set to
graduate in the Fall of 2013.
Since 2009, the Encompass program has also included a PhD track, funded by NWO and LUF. Its aim
is to offer the best students the possibility to continue their education in Leiden, and to ensure the
continuity and innovation of research on the Modern and Early Modern history of Asia. The emphasis
in this research program lies on the use of Dutch colonial sources. Since 2009, five PhD students have
been employed in the context of this program. A number of other Encompass alumni have found PhD
positions at other universities in the Netherlands and abroad.
With the launch of Cosmopolis in 2012, Encompass was continued, and entered a new phase as
ENCOMPASS II. The former Encompass conversion year was renamed the Cosmopolis Foundation
Year, and the program is now open to qualified students from all over the world. The Ministry of
115
Education, Culture and Science has made eleven more annual scholarships available annually for a
four-year period between 2012-2013 and 2015-2016. For the Encompass scholarships however, only
students from Asia are eligible. Depending on the previous education of the participating students, the
conversion year, which leads to a BA degree, can now be followed as a pre-MA or pre-PhD track. In the
latter case, the conversion year’s final thesis functions as a PhD pilot. Students from outside of
Indonesia apply directly to Leiden. The selection of Indonesian students is carried out in close
collaboration with the Arsip Nasional and the Universitas Indonesia in Jakarta, as well as with the
Universitas Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta. Interviews take place in Yogyakarta before a committee that
includes a member of Encompass Leiden. During the conversion year, the students follow intensive
Dutch language classes, as well as courses in heuristics, and colonial and global history courses.
After the conversion year, students continue with the regular MA program in History, within which
they follow either the Colonial and Global History specialization, or Historical Archival Sciences.
Funding for continuation in MA, MPhil or PhD programs occurs on a competitive basis. The program
offers two annual MA scholarships for the most promising students. Students apply for a number of
other scholarships and fellowships, both in the Netherlands and abroad. A memorandum of
understanding was conducted with the Arsip Nasional (National Archives) in Jakarta, under which
agreement the Arsip contributes fifty per cent in the education costs of their staff members who
participate in the Encompass program. In 2012, participating students came from Indonesia, India,
Japan, and China. The PhD track currently includes students from the Philippines, China, India, Sri
Lanka and Indonesia.
‘State and Economy in Modern Indonesia’s Change of Regimes’
Thomas Lindblad
The research programme ‘State and Economy in Modern Indonesia’s Change of Regimes’ examines
how changes of regimes in Indonesia between the 1910s and c. 1960 affected the meaning and
functioning of the State and its role in the economy. The research programme consists of two PhD
projects, entitled ‘State Performance and Political culture in Indonesia’ (Farabi Fakih, MPhil) and ‘The
Political Economy of Transition in Indonesia’ (Pham Van Thuy, MPhil). It also provides for an
international conference to be held in Leiden in October 2011 that will serve as a basis for a collective
volume with a synthesis. The programme is executed in close co-operation with historians in
Indonesia. The total research budget is €410,000.
From Muskets to Nokias: Technology, Consumption and Social Change in
Central Africa from Pre-Colonial Times to the Present
Robert Ross
Firearms and mobile phones are fitting examples of the kind of foreign technological innovations that
Central African peoples have appropriated and absorbed within their social structures over the course
of the past three centuries of their history. The individual research projects that make up ‘From
Muskets to Nokias’ together represent an attempt to rewrite the history of the Zambian and Congolese
copperbelts and their hinterlands through the lenses of technology and consumption, and their
relations to social organization. Adopting an explicitly social historical perspective, all the members of
the proposed research team will seek to understand the changing dynamics of African engagement with
the products of industrial technology and the impact of the transformation of consumption patterns
upon the region’s social structures and related notions of wealth. Set in a much deeper chronological
framework than has hitherto been the case, ‘From Muskets to Nokias’ moves away from a teleological
narrative of oppression and exploitation with a view to reinstating Africans as independent economic
agents. It thereby intends to avoid the obfuscation of the full range of Central African peoples’ social
experiences which has so often marred materialist interpretations of the region’s history because they
portray rural Africans as mere pawns in the impersonal clash between capital and organized labour.
The main planks of this project are, first, the investigation of the history of firearms in history of
Central Africa since around 1800, which is the task of the Post-doc within the project, Dr. Giacomo
Macola, and secondly, the PhD project of Ms Iva Peša on the social and economic history of
Mwinilunga, a district in the far north-west of Zambia, which is concentrating on the changes
associated with, first, the ending of the long-distance caravan trade and, secondly, the opening of new
labour and product markets in the copperbelts. Her work is based on a combination of archival
research in Great Britain and Zambia with extensive fieldwork and the collection of oral history in
116
Mwinilunga itself. In both cases there has been significant progress. In addition, there are a number of
Zambian, Congolese and other scholars associated with the project, who met in Lusaka in July 2009 to
discuss the development of the project, as associated researchers.
Challenging Monopolies, Building Global Empires in the Early Modern
Period:
Catía Antunes, Kate Ekama, Erik Odegaard, Joris van den Tol
How did free agents in the Dutch Republic react to the creation of colonial monopolies (VOC and
WIC) by the States General? This project answers this question by looking at the role individuals
played in the construction of an informal global empire parallel to the institutional empire devised by
the States General and enabled by the chartered monopolies.
Free agents came into conflict with the Companies from the very beginning of the monopolies. Their
defiance against the state-imposed monopolies – that is to say, the discrepancy between the goals and
needs of the state-sponsored monopolies and the interests and objectives of the agents – drove the
latter to work against, together with or in name of- the monopolies and, ultimately, the State. Even
though the mechanisms of opposition, cooperation and appropriation/representation may be
separately identified, they were not necessarily mutually exclusive.
The informal empire that resulted from the individual choices of free agents and their networks as a
reaction to the State imposed monopolies was, in our view, a borderless, self-organized, often crosscultural, multi-ethnic, pluri-national and stateless world that can only be characterized as global.
Connecting in Times of Duress: Understanding Communication and Conflict
in Middle Africa’s Mobile Margins
Mirjam de Bruijn, Inge Ligtvoet, Lotte Pelckmans and Catharina Wilson
This research programme seeks to understand the dynamics in the relationship between social media,
mobile telephony and the social fabric under duress in Africa’s mobile margins. It combines studies on
mobility/migration, conflict and communication in an attempt to uncover these new dynamics, which
have been so evident in North Africa and the Middle East in 2011. Societies under duress are
characterized by long periods of war or repression that lead to mobilities (forced or economic) and
marginality. People who live in such circumstances have to manoeuvre between oppressive structures
and possibilities to communicate, which are often informed by violence, fear and poverty. The
introduction of new ICT is enhancing information flows and communication between people and this
is expected to lead to social change and to influence the social fabric in its (re-)forming of communities
and the construction of identity and feelings of belonging, which will increasingly differentiate social
groups. The study is situated in northern Middle Africa (Chad, Central African Republic, Cameroon
and eastern Nigeria). The proposed methodology is interdisciplinary (anthropology, history,
communication studies, conflict studies and social geography), historical-ethnographic and
comparative, involving regional sub-projects among diverse mobile populations in urban centres,
refugee camps and remote rural areas. Film and photography will also form part of the methodology,
acting as a form of communication between researchers, local communities and stakeholders and will
result in a documentary. The study contributes to the development of a theory of connections. The
findings will enhance our understanding of conflict dynamics and further the debate on the role of
social media and ICT in conflict and post-conflict societies. Workshops and conferences in Africa and
Europe will guarantee regular exchanges between policy makers and academia.

7. Cities, Migration and Global
Interdependence
Description
Our specialisation Cities, Migration and Global Interdependence (CMGI) focuses on urbanisation,
migration, and economic development in a comparative and global context. The central question that
guides our research is: How did individual lives change in the period 1350-2000 by processes of city
growth, increasing mobility, and global interaction? Put another way, how did globalisation,
industrialisation, and state formation alter urban environments, mobility patterns, gender roles, and
mentalities, both at the local and at the global level? The specialisation Cities, Migration and Global
Interdependence focuses on processes of urbanisation, mobility, economic development, and the
increase in global interaction. It seeks to explain when, how and why these processes changed and how
these changes affected the lives of people, and organisational infrastructures (at the group, local,
national and international level). How did ordinary people experience major changes of the past? Why
did some societies achieve more economic growth than others? Why are some inequalities much more
persistent than others? Who had access to power and how did certain groups manage to exclude others
from power? When and why did collective action occur? Within our specialisation we look at the
movement of people, goods, services, capital, and ideas. We study the means by which actors influence
these changes, but also the restrictions they encounter, which can be demographic, physical, spatial,
political, institutional, legal, technical, financial, and imagined. In short, our group focuses on the ways
that men and women created social, cultural, and economic processes and how these processes affected
them. Without losing sight of the value of individual experiences in historical analysis, CMGI attempts
to analyse the aggregate or structural level of social groups, networks, and polities, and tries to
understand how people are empowered and limited by both formal and informal institutions. CMGI
aims at understanding larger processes and mechanisms of change over time, by focusing on:
- urban and state institutions and their effects on inclusion and exclusion;
- social engineering, criminality and urban subcultures;
- changing labour relations in capitalist institutions and their relations to economic development;
- the (gendered) interaction between migration and membership regimes in different parts of the
world and the effects of societal categorisation in making distinctions between migrants and nonmigrants;
- development of freedoms and unfreedoms;
- cross-cultural commercial networks, cultural exchanges and comparative socio-economic systems in
the pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial world and Systems of Empires.
We make comparisons over time – 1350-2000 – and space. We combine historical research with
methods, theories and insights from the social sciences, archaeology, anthropology, linguistics, and
economics. We pay systematic attention to the intersection of categories of analysis such as gender,
class, religion, sexuality and race/ethnicity, which are elements of power and equality/inequality, and
defining elements of identity (personal, social, legal), social location, opportunity, and experience (see
figure below).
118
What is important for our specialisation are theories on civil society, mobility, agency,
intersectionality, orientalism, network formation, governmentality, civilisation, social movements,
public sphere, social cohesion, imagined communities, and forms of capital. Our specialisation builds
on a long and well-established tradition that dates back to the British tradition of studying (radical)
transitions (with authors such as the Webbs, Hobsbawm, E.P. Thompson, Stedman Jones, Patrick
O’Brien) and combines this with the more structural approach developed by the French Annales-type
of history. There is a range of valuable theories that assist us in analysing these issues, building on the
ideas of the great thinkers of our field of expertise such as Weber, Marx, Foucault, Tilly, Braudel, Said,
Elias, Gramsci, Kymlicka, Wallerstein, Habermas, Putnam and Bourdieu. There is not one general
theory that can explain the complex transformations we study. The interlocking processes need to be
approached from different angels and recent authors have argued against the use of one all-embracing
general theory, and favour a focus on the contradictions and unintended consequences of social
action. 1 We adhere to this idea. History has an empirical core and the marriage between theory and
evidence is indispensable.

Uncovering the Determinants of Labor Union Support for Redistribution:
Union Structure and Cross-National Differences in Income Inequality
(Rubicon project)Dennie Oude Nijhuis
This research project aims to contribute to our understanding of the causes of cross-national
differences in income inequality by conducting a comparative analysis of organized labor’s post-war
involvement in wage bargaining and the development of redistributive policies in the Netherlands, the
United Kingdom, the United States and Sweden. The main purpose of the project is to uncover the
determinants of labor union support for wage compression and redistributive government
intervention in the labor market. Despite massive attention for the involvement of labor unions in
labor market development, this issue has not been addressed in a systematic manner. In much of the
literature on income equality and the broader literature on labor market development, labor union
support redistribution is simply taken for granted. This project proceeds from the recognition that
150
labor union support for redistribution depends on the organizational structure of labor unions.
Crime and gender 1600-1900: a comparative perspective
Manon van der Heijden
This project contests the assumption of criminologists that gender differences in recorded crime are
static over time and that women are in general less likely to commit a crime than men. We argue that
there is discontinuity rather than continuity in the contribution of men and women to criminality.
Given the evidence of high female crime rates at times in the past, the need for a long- term historical
approach to crime and gender has been stressed. However, so far no scholar has taken up the challenge.
This project presents a new dynamic perspective, that of change and variation. It aims at developing an
explanatory model of gendered crime patterns by providing a comparative analysis of crime and
gender between 1600 and 1900 based on various primary sources.
Crime rates defined by public roles
The hypothesis is that gender differences in crime rates are strongly determined by the public roles
attributed to men and women, which have varied over time and space. Scholars generally assume that
women commit fewer and different crimes than men because of the different nature of their public
lives. Specific gender roles would also lead to prosecutors and courts treating men and women
differently. However, this assumption has never been tested in a long-term comparative perspective.
The innovative character of the proposed research lies in the fact that it introduces a conceptual
framework of public roles that looks at both ideologies regarding the role of men and women and
practices in public life, and their impact on gender differences in recorded crime. This model
distinguishes between various public activities of men and women, and links such roles to a set of five
determinant factors: 1. Moral and legal norms 2. Urbanisation 3. Family structure 4. Labour
participation 5. Living standards.
The project combines developments through time with comparisons between different societies, first
of all within Europe, but ultimately also globally. By comparing England, Germany, Italy and the
Netherlands, this project offers both quantitative and qualitative data to test the impact of public roles
on gender differences in recorded crime in this part of the world. Such an analysis will be an important
step in developing a European and global field of comparative historical studies that will help to
explain gender differences in crime linked to the public roles of men and women in various areas of the
world.
Fighting Monopolies, Defying Empires 1500-1750: a Comparative Overview of Free Agents
and Informal Empires in Western Europe and the Ottoman Empire
Catia Antunes
How did ‘free agents’ (entrepreneurs operating outside of the myriad of interests of the centralized,
state-sponsored monopolies) in Western Europe and the Ottoman Empire react to the creation of
colonial monopolies (royal monopolies and chartered companies) by the central states in the Early
Modern period? This proposal will answer this question by looking at the role individuals played in the
construction of what I have called ‘informal empires’, understood as a multitude of self-organized
networks operating world-wide, whose main goal was safeguarding their personal social and economic
advantages, regardless of (and in spite of) state intervention.
Self-organized networks challenged royal monopolies held by the Ottoman Sultans, the Iberian and
French Kings and the Dutch, the English, Swedish or Danish chartered companies. Free agents, their
families and networks operated in the Atlantic or Asia, across geographical borders between empires,
went beyond the restrictions imposed by religious differences, ethnic diversity or the interests of the
different central states had in Europe, or in their territories in Africa, the Americas and/or Asia, and led
to the questioning of loyalties and the redefinition of identities. This informal empire, brought to
fruition by the individual choices of free agents and their networks as a reaction to the state-imposed
monopolies, was, I hypothesize, a borderless, self-organized, often cross-cultural, multi-ethnic, plurinational and stateless world that can only be characterized as global.
The informal empires resulting from the self-organized networks of free agents operated alongside the
institutional empires promoted by the central states and put into place by the monopoly holders. My
research question will challenge traditional historiography that privileges the role that institutionalized
monopolies played in building empires, while all but ignoring the contribution of free agency to the
construction, maintenance and growth of those same empires.
151
My approach is innovative in that it employs a theoretical grid for the analysis of the instances in which
Early Modern monopolies were challenged, mediated, co-opted or quite simply hijacked by free agents.
My model delineates actions an re-actions such as illegal activities, cooperative strategies or even
extensive collaboration between free agents and central states. Based on the unique comparison
between Western Europe and the Ottoman Empire, as well as in analyses linking the Atlantic and the
Asian expansions of European empires, our proposal will pioneer a new approach to the comparative
history of empires between 1500 and 1750.

Research Master Programme
The Research Masters Programme in History is founded on fields of research well presented in Leiden.
The programme consists of five specialisations each containing a number of specific subjects and
possibilities. The five specialisations are: Ancient History, Medieval and Early Modern European
History, History of Political Culture and National Identities, History of European Expansion and
Globalisation, and History of Migration and Global Interdependence. The individual students’
interests, knowledge, and capabilities determine the ‘specialisation’ ultimately decided upon. Following
their examinations the Research Masters students will be able to function as a beginning academic
researcher, either in a semi-academic position, or at an university. The student will be well-prepared to
conduct PhD research successfully within the time limits set.
The components of the Research Masters Programme in the first year include a literature seminar, a
research seminar and a seminar on historical theory in the fall semester, and a tutorial, a colloquium
on historical controversies and a research seminar in the spring semester. The second year offers
students the possibility to take classes in a masters programme of another discipline and at another
university (in the Netherlands or abroad) up to 20 ECTS. The remaining part of the second year is
focussed on the writing of a substantial research masters thesis based on original source research and in
principal worthy of elaboration into a PhD dissertation.
The total number of research master students in the Institute for History in 2014: 65.
PhD Programme
The PhD programme in history is characterized by a strong international orientation, a broad variety
of disciplinary perspectives, a focus on the use of primary sources and an incorporation into a
humanities faculty which is the only such faculty in The Netherlands to provide the opportunity to
study the languages and cultures of Africa, Asia and America.
PhD candidates primarily focus on conducting research and writing their dissertation under the
guidance of their supervisor. In addition, they take a range of courses relevant to their field of research,
which are offered by the Institute for History and other institutions, including national research
schools in the field of history. PhD candidates are also involved in teaching history. To prepare them
for these teaching tasks the candidates follow apractical educational course. Finally, the PhD
programme provides a timely orientation towards a career after the completion of the PhD.
The number of regular PhD candidates currently employed in the Institute for History is 90.
Besides, there are more than 100 PhD candidates affiliated to the institute but mostly having their
working place elsewhere.
