THE HABSBURG EMPIRE - A NEW HISTORY - PIETER M ...

Moving beyond older approaches to the history of the Habsburgs in Central Europe in which
nations are the main actors and nationalist conflict the inevitable moving force in the
monarchy's trajectory  Pieter Judson offers an alternate narrative framework for the history of
Habsburg Central Europe from the eighteenth century to the demise of the empire in World War I.
He investigates how shared imperial institutions  administrative practices  and cultural
programs helped to shape local society in every region of the empire. He shows how all of these
elements gave imperial citizens fundamentally common experiences that crossed linguistic 
confessional  and regional divides--experiences that even shaped nationalists' understandings
of nationhood. And he traces what happened to the common or shared elements of imperial
practice when the Habsburg monarchy formally ceased to exist in 1918.--Provided by publisher.
