This new study of the genesis of the Indonesian national state is based on the notion that the birth of that nation grew out of not only the liberation movement but also from the Dutch rule that the nationalists agitated against. The book places a clear emphasis on the ways in which Dutch rule was established in the Indonesian archipelago in the course of three centuries and examines the developments of Dutch colonial policies. This feeds into chapters that focus on the Indonesian nationalist movement and the Japanese occupation of the colony in 1942-1945. The occupation helped to enable the proclamation of Indonesian indepence and the creation of the Republic in August 1945. The conflict that erupted between the Repub-lic and the Netherlands was brought to an incomplete solution in 1949, but the dis-pute about West-Irian led to a sequel that lasted for another thirteen years. More than half of this book is dedicated to the conflict and its aftermath. Much attention is paid to the sentiments and ideas that informed Dutch policy. Various issues that have received scant attention in the historiography are now dis-cussed. The author based his study on Dutch and international literature, contemporary newspapers and policy documents, and his own memories. In the books title, the stork represents the Dutch and the garuda functions as a symbol of Indonesia. J. Herman Burgers (1926) worked at the Dutch Department of Foreign Affairs. He studied Law in Amsterdam and Political Science at Stanford University. He was deeply interested in the conflict between the Netherlands and the Republic of Indone-sia, as it broke out in 1945. This fascination has never left him, and he has continued to study the conflict and its aftermath, especially during the years 1948-1950 when he was in Indonesia for his Dutch military service.

Du côté de Bruxelles : arrogance, désinvolture, volonté de subordonner les démocraties nationales à une démocratie européenne artificielle. Du côté des citoyens : indifférence, méfiance, sentiment de dépossession, voire d'illégitimité des processus européens. Voilà le terrible bilan : une "Europe sans les peuples", d'autant plus catastrophique que nous aurions vraiment besoin d'une coopération efficace et démocratique. Pour en sortir, il faut un électrochoc, un changement radical. L'actuel projet de Constitution européenne le laisse-t-il entrevoir ? Non, répond Georges Berthu, car il renforce les causes mêmes qui on produit "l'Europe sans les peuples". Après ses analyses des traités d'Amsterdam et de Nice, Georges Berthu fournit ici un commentaire détaillé du projet de Constitution européenne, qui montre ses failles, ses contradictions et ses dangers. Pour sortir d'un piège inextricable, il propose : "l'Europe avec les peuples". On ne peut qu'être frappé par l'obscurité des textes européens qui décourage les meilleures bonnes volontés, malgré l'importance des enjeux qu'ils représentent. Appuyé sur l'intégralité du texte du projet, cet ouvrage fait une analyse claire, dégageant l'essentiel, et permettant de comprendre la portée des ultimes marchandages à venir. Il constitue l'outil indispensable pour tous ceux qui voudront participer activement au débat sur la Constitution européenne
