Across Europe, military budgets are exploding, arms industries are booming, and war is being normalized. The Netherlands is no exception. But what is the nature of contemporary imperialism, and what does it mean to be anti-militarist today?
Join us for a panel discussion exploring the links between imperialism and militarism, from the global picture to the Dutch context. We’ll examine The Netherlands’ colonial history, its ongoing imperialist role, and the growing militarization of Dutch society. And we’ll ask the most important question: how do we organize against it?
