Cautious governance: Two centuries Province of South Holland

Nico Randeraad and Roel Potrs are the editors of the book ‘Behoedzaam Bestuur’ (Cautious Governance), Leiden, Primavera Pers, 2014. The book deals with the history of the provincial administration of South Holland in the period 1814-2014. Co-editor Nico Randeraad also acted as scientific coordinator of the project.

The book is generously illustrated, and strikes an excellent balance between academic rigour and public outreach. It presents the province as an often overlooked administrative player that has played an crucial role in the creation of the Dutch unitary state. As mediator between political, administrative and (semi-) private organizations the province has been an important actor in many infrastructural and societal projects over the past two centuries.
