Prof. Frederik Dhondt published a chapter in the collective volume Les Forces armées, gardiennes des institutions et des libertés (eds. Oscar Ferreira & Fabrice Hoarau), with the assistance of student-researchers Max Van Den Bosch and Senne De Kerpel.

Abstract:
The Belgian Revolution of 1830 associates the people to regime change. The Civic Guard, created at this juncture, further evolves within a bourgeois context, with furthermore unequal capacity in local government across the country. We study the genesis of the triad "army - gendarmerie - civic guard" and its evolution in the Belle Époque. The civic guard's end after World War One and the effective introduction of conscription create a new relationship between citizens and soldiers.

The book can either be read on paper, or electronically, chapter by chapter (DOI 10.48611/isbn.978-2-406-15064-0.p.0137).
