Research output: Book/ReportBookScientificpeer-review

Abstract

Although air transport is indispensable to modern society, we know little about
the diplomatic efforts that establish airline services. Nonetheless, aviation features
prominently in the spectrum of international relations: in conflicts between states, for
example, the suspension of landing rights is one of the first acts to symbolize serious
discord. In tracing the unique cooperation between government and industry, this
historical study underscores aviation as a prominent, but understudied topic in Dutch
foreign relations.
