The political culture in the Netherlands is widely assumed to be quite unique: a well-established 'polder model' in a 'consociational democracy' has received much coverage in academic literature. However, de Rooij contends that this serene-sounding label is a myth. The modern political culture in the Low Countries began with a revolution and has continued with shocks and convulsions, rife with acute rivalries amongst several political and ideological factions. With its extremely open economy the Netherlands is particularly vulnerable to external political, cultural and economic pressures. The art of politics is a balancing act between profiting from international developments and maintaining sovereignty. The sudden rise of populism and euroscepticism around 2000 indicates a loss of balance, even a crisis in the political culture.



In this survey of the Dutch political culture of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Piet de Rooij reveals that the ?polder model” often used to describe economic and social policymaking based on consensus is a myth. Instead, modern political culture in the Dutch Low Countries began with a revolution and is rife with rivalries among political and ideological factions. He argues that because of its extremely open economy, the country is vulnerable to external political, cultural, and economic pressures, and Dutch politics is a balancing act between profiting from international developments and maintaining sovereignty. The sudden rise of populism and Euroscepticism at the turn of the millennium, then, indicated a loss of this balance. Shining new light on the political culture of the Netherlands, this book provides insights into the polder model and the principles of pillarization in Dutch society.

Arvustused

Anyone with an interest in Dutch political history will enjoy this book. It does not only offer a novel take, but it is also engagingly written, filled with interesting anecdotes and vivid descriptions. As such, the book is much more accessible than many academic texts that sometimes lose their punch in the weeds of academic jargon, theorization, and methodological reflections.,- Edward Anthony Koning, Canadian Journal of Netherlandic Studies, Vol. 42, Iss. 3
