Abstract

A study of the way in which Allied Military Administration interacted with Dutch state and society in the course of the liberation. The article argues that the Allied Military rulers interacted on a pragmatic level with local civil society representatives in order to secure order behind the front and take care of the most urgent needs of the people; as soon as the situation allowed, they contributed to the restoration of the central state.
