Response
This brief response discusses the principal themes raised by the three commentaries.

This brief response discusses the principal themes raised by the three commentaries. In particular, it re-assesses my interpretation in The Sorrows of Belgium (2012) of the political normalisation of Belgium which occurred after the Second World War, the nature of the Belgian national and political community in the aftermath of the German occupation, and the way in which the events of the war years may have contributed to the democratic reconstruction of the Belgian nation-state. This response is part of the discussion forum 'The Sorrows of Belgium' (Martin Conway). Repliek In deze korte reactie gaat Martin Conway in op de belangrijkste thema’s die in de drie commentaren aan de orde zijn gesteld. Het artikel besteedt in het bijzonder aandacht aan zijn interpretatie van de terugkeer naar politieke normaliteit na de Duitse bezetting in België, en de manier waarop de oorlog mogelijk een bijdrage heeft geleverd aan de democratische reconstructie van de Belgische natiestaat, zoals dit in zijn boek The Sorrows of Belgium (2012) aan de orde komt. Deze repliek maakt deel uit van het discussiedossier 'The Sorrows of Belgium' (Martin Conway).
