This research would be a comparative study of the formation of the British and Dutch volunteers' national andtransnational identities in the Spanish Civil War and their governments' responses. The aim of the research is to explorehow individual autonomy and nationality are negotiated in the context of internationalist ideologies and state sovereignty.In recent years, there is an increased interest in foreign war volunteering, especially because of current geopoliticaldevelopments. During the Spanish Civil War, about 40.000 foreign men and women travelled to Spain to join the combaton the side of the Republican government. Although almost all democratic European government agreed to a policy ofnon-intervention, some states, like Britain, were rather lenient in letting volunteers travel to Spain while others, like theNetherlands, applied harsh measures in order to prevent their citizens to join the war as volunteers. In the case of theNetherlands, most volunteers lost their Dutch nationality upon return and became stateless citizens. The research wouldconsist of two elements. The first one is a prosopography of both contingents, to explore how the volunteers experiencedtheir (trans-)national identities and how these were shaped and changed by their experiences as volunteers in Spain.The central part of the research would then explore and compare the negotiation that took place in the interactionsbetween the home states and their subjects.

本研究将对英国和荷兰志愿者在西班牙内战中民族和跨国身份的形成及其政府的反应进行比较研究。这项研究的目的是探索在国际主义意识形态和国家主权的背景下，个人自治和国籍是如何谈判的。近年来，人们对外国战争志愿军的兴趣越来越大，特别是因为当前的地缘政治发展。在西班牙内战期间，大约40.000名外国男女前往西班牙参加支持共和政府的战斗。尽管几乎所有民主的欧洲政府都同意不干预政策，但一些国家，如英国，在允许志愿者前往西班牙方面相当宽松，而另一些国家，如荷兰，则采取严厉措施，以阻止其公民以志愿者的身份加入战争。在荷兰的情况下，大多数志愿者在回国后失去了荷兰国籍，成为无国籍公民。这项研究将由两个要素组成。第一部分是对两支队伍的描述，探索志愿者如何体验他们的(跨)国家身份，以及他们作为志愿者在西班牙的经历是如何塑造和改变这些身份的。研究的中心部分随后将探索和比较在母国和他们的受试者之间的互动中发生的谈判。
