AboutThe research project ‘Historicizing Security: Enemies of the State, 1813-present’ investigates the construction of the National Security State after 1945 as a coherent system of institutions, instruments, measures and ideas concerning national security threats and interests. We focus on the Netherlands, but draw comparisons to the United States, (West-)Germany, the United Kingdom and, incidentally, to other relevant countries.
