HMS Leander was completed in 1963 as the first ship of the Leander Class Improved Type 12 General Purpose Frigates. In 1974, she joined the 3rd Frigate Squadron, which included other Leander-class frigates. The design was the most successful Western frigate of its time and led to several new international designs

This textbook explains the main economic mechanisms behind energy markets and assesses how governments can implement policies to improve these markets' performance. Adopting a microeconomic perspective, it systematically analyses the various types of market failures on the electricity and gas markets as well as coal, oil, hydrogen and heat markets in order to identify government policies that can improve welfare. Critical factors in this regard include the natural monopoly and the public-goods character of energy infrastructures; market power structures resulting from inflexibility of supply and demand; international trade restrictions; negative externalities concerning the use of fossil energy; positive externalities concerning innovative new energy technologies; information asymmetries with regard to the product characteristics of energy commodities; and other public concerns, such as energy poverty. In turn, readers will learn about various measures that governments can use to address these market failures, including incentive regulations for electricity grids; international integration of wholesale energy markets; environmental regulatory measures like emissions trading schemes; subsidy schemes for new technologies; green-energy certificate schemes; and energy taxes. This second, updated and expanded edition addresses recent developments in international energy markets that have resulted in extremely high prices and concerns about the markets' ability of to provide a secure energy supply. Further, it examines several countries' intensified measures to implement the transition to a low-carbon energy system. Given its scope, the book will appeal to upper-undergraduate and graduate students from various disciplines who want to learn more about the economics and regulation of energy systems and markets. "Given Mulder's experience in government and academia, he provides a novel contribution to the literature by systematically analyzing different types of market failures and potential remedies offered by economic theory. Overall, Mulder's textbook should be a valuable reference for students and energy policy analysts." (J. Wesley Burnett, The Energy Journal, Vol. 43, Number 3).

The primary role of the Type 42 destroyers was providing air defense for the fleet. With their long-range sensors, the ships could also act as radar pickets, sailing ahead of a task group. HMS Southampton was the eighth ship originally destined to be a 16-ship class – two of these ships have been exported to Argentina. The type 42 comprised eight Batch 1 vessels, four Batch 2 and four Batch 3 Stretched Type 42

HNLMS Zuiderkruis (1975-2012) was the second Fast Combat Support Ship of the Royal Netherlands Navy. It was primarily intended for Replenishment At Sea, fueling task groups and NATO units. As a modern design Zuiderkruis enabled a "one stop replenishment" and also carried AVCAT, fresh water and spare parts. A helicopter deck facilitated vertical replenishment

Protected cruiser (Pantserdekschip) HNLMS Gelderland was a Holland-class cruiser of the Royal Netherlands Navy. This class, of six ships, was considered a modest, but well thought-out design. At a speed of 10 knots the radius of action would have been 8000 miles, while the two triple expansion engines could generate a maximum speed of 19,5 knots

Trapped in the Far East by the over-run of the Netherlands and by the occupancy of the Netherlands East Indies, Tromp's destiny lay in the Indian Ocean and Pacific onslaughts. The ship became one of the highest decorated Dutch warships of World War II. Often referred to as 'The Ghost Ship', the crew preferred to call her 'The Lucky Ship', since she was no less than five times claimed to be sunk

In 'Buitengewone transporten' wordt het verhaal verteld van de deportaties van Joden, Roma en Sinti uit Nederland in de periode 1940-1945. Centraal daarin functioneerde kamp Westerbork dat voor bijna ieder van hen als depot diende, een tussenstation tussen huis en haard en de concentratie- en vernietigingskampen elders in Hitler-Duitsland. Met meer dan 100 transporten werden 107.000 personen gedeporteerd. Van hen overleefden slechts 5.000 mensen.0In dit boek is voor het eerst de verspreide kennis over de Jodentransporten bijeengebracht. Maar ook is veel nieuwe informatie uit recent onderzoek opgenomen. Het resultaat is dat menig beeld moet worden bijgesteld, zoals over het aantal transporten, het gebruik van personenrijtuigen of over het bekende ?treinbord?. Nieuw is ook dat niet alleen de rol van de Nederlandse Spoorwegen wordt behandeld maar ook die van de Deutsche Reichsbahn, alsook hun plek in de naoorlogse geschiedenis van de verwerking van de oorlog. Een naoorlogs verhaal waarin pas na veertig jaar de0goederenwagen iconisch wordt voor de Holocaust.0'Buitengewone transporten' verschijnt aan de vooravond van de 80-jarige herdenking van het eerste transport met Joden dat op 15 juli 1942 vanuit kamp Westerbork naar Auschwitz vertrok. Deze en alle volgende transporten zijn met vermelding van datum, vertrekplek, bestemming en aantal gedeporteerden opgenomen.

"Tracing the history of economic sanctions from the blockades of World War I to the policing of colonial empires and the interwar confrontation with fascism, Nicholas Mulder combines political, economic, legal, and military history to reveal how a coercive wartime tool was adopted as an instrument of peacekeeping by the League of Nations.This timely study casts an overdue light on why sanctions are widely considered a form of war, and why their unintended consequences are so tremendous."

Economic sanctions dominate the landscape of world politics in the first decades of the twenty-first century. Originally developed in the early twentieth century as a way to use the flows of globalization to defend liberal internationalism, their continuing appeal is that they function as an alternative to war. This view, however, ignores the dark paradox at their core: designed to prevent war, economic sanctions are modeled on devastating techniques of warfare. Tracing the use of economic sanctions from the blockades of World War I to the policing of colonial empires and the interwar confrontation with fascism, the author combines extensive archival research with political, economic, legal, and military history to reveal how a coercive wartime tool was adopted as an instrument of peacekeeping by the League of Nations. This timely study casts an overdue light on why sanctions are widely considered a form of war, and why their unintended consequences are so tremendous.

To counter a growing threat of Soviet submarines and aircraft shortly after WWII, the Royal Netherlands Navy ordered new ships. Classified as ASW destroyer (onderzeebootjager), but so close to contemporary destroyers in terms of specifications. Still suffering from the havoc of war the national industry managed to design and construct these ships in two classes. Drenthe was of the more capable Type 47B series
