The transnational dimensions of the early socialist pillars in Belgium and the Netherlands, c. 1885-1914 : an exploratory essay2012 •
Since the 1960s scholars pf pillarization (the formation of strong confessional and ideological communities or ‘pillars’ - also referred to as verzuiling, consocationalism or compartimentalization) have tried to find a way between two extremes: overemphasizing the peculiarity of the Belgian and Dutch case versus overgeneralizing the commonality of the European experience. Transnational history may offer a way out of this methodological bind. On the one hand it implies a shift away from the nation-state perspective and from explanations in terms of a national Sonderweg, while still taking the national framework into account (not as the default choice, but as one of a number of actors or spatial levels that interact). On the other hand, transnational history avoids the superficiality of broad, noncommittal similarities between different European cases because it focuses on contact and exchange between concrete historical actors. What is important from a transnational perspective are the cross-border relations between people and organizations and the possible transfer of ideas, norms and practices. Starting from the particular case of contacts between Belgian and Dutch socialists during the belle époque, this contribution suggests a number of future research avenues

Nationalism, transnationalism and European socialism in the 1950s: a comparison of the French and German cases (Jan. 2020)2020 •
This article explores national dimensions of transnational interaction between the French Socialist Party (SFIO) and the German Social Democratic Party (SPD) in the 1940s-1950s within a comparative framework. Doing so allows us to uncover why the French and German parties retained intensive transnational contacts with one another despite their disappointments with postwar socialist internationalism. The SFIO and SPD were eager to put a socialist stamp on reconstruction, European integration, and French-German relations. The article shows why transnational engagement with their cross-Rhine colleagues appeared the most promising path to do so. Despite lengthy conflicts on Cold War politics, the international politics of reconstruction, and, later, decolonization and the Algerian and Suez Wars, the SFIO and SPD successfully compartmentalized their differences by establishing an autonomous track for transnational relations in European parliamentary assemblies. French-German cooperation on matters of European integration yielded the period's greatest transnational successes, including the establishment of the Congress of Socialist Parties of the European Communities. In the early 1960s, the two-track nature of French-German inter-socialist relations endured but structural factors eroded the balance of power between French and Germans needed to sustain the mutual satisfaction with transnational cooperation that had peaked in the mid-1950s.
