The TESG Forum on Rob Tamsma’s (1972) “The Northern Netherlands: Large Problem Area in a Small Country, Small Problem Area in a Large Economic Community”–edited by @evertmeijers.bsky.social, Martijn Smit, @michielvanmeeteren.bsky.social is online (free access) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14679663...
