Exemplarity as political process

One of the preliminary conclusions is that the support for the European project was conditional. This support was linked to the idea of the Netherlands as a guide country within the EEC and the EU, which in turn acted as a lever for global influence. The notion of being organically connected with the European “larger whole” played a major role in Dutch missionary internationalism, but it played an even greater role in domestic support for European integration.
