This contribution is an elaboration of the author's earlier work on the culture-bound nature of patterns of occupation of foreign territory. From historical evidence one can infer that the us exhibit a characteristic modus occupandi which can be interpreted as stemming from the British style of occupation, but modified on account of the origin of the American Republic. Emancipating from British rule, the us developed an anti-colonial ethos which implied occupying foreign territories only by way of military interventions mainly to effectuate regime change. This pattern became institutionalized in earlier centuries in Central America and the Caribbean, is discernible also in the case of the American occupation zone in Germany after Word War II and in the present Iraq war. Finally, in several salient respects one can detect similarities between the traditional styles of occupation of the Germans and the Americans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
De wijze waarop Amerikaanse strijdkrachten in het buitenland orde trachten te scheppen en te handhaven, wordt sinds `9/11' veel becommentarieerd. Voorzover er sprake is van een wetenschappelijke analyse, hanteert men begrippen, inzichten en theorieen uit het internationaal recht, internationale betrekkingen of beleidsstudies. De socioloog kan echter een eigen bijdrage leveren door te letten op `de constanten in de geschiedenis'. Cor Lammers bestudeert vanuit dit perspectiefde bezettingsstijl van de VS in vergelijking met Franse, Britse en Nederlandse bezettingspatronen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
