In a panoramic and pioneering reappraisal, Pieter Judson shows why the Habsburg Empire mattered so much, for so long, to millions of Central Europeans. Across divides of language, religion, region, and history, ordinary women and men felt a common attachment to their empire, while bureaucrats, soldiers, politicians, and academics devised inventive solutions to the challenges of governing Europe s second largest state. In the decades before and after its dissolution, some observers belittled the Habsburg Empire as a dysfunctional patchwork of hostile ethnic groups and an anachronistic imperial relic. Judson examines their motives and explains just how wrong these rearguard critics were.
Rejecting fragmented histories of nations in the making, this bold revision surveys the shared institutions that bridged difference and distance to bring stability and meaning to the far-flung empire. By supporting new schools, law courts, and railroads, along with scientific and artistic advances, the Habsburg monarchs sought to anchor their authority in the cultures and economies of Central Europe. A rising standard of living throughout the empire deepened the legitimacy of Habsburg rule, as citizens learned to use the empire s administrative machinery to their local advantage. Nationalists developed distinctive ideas about cultural difference in the context of imperial institutions, yet all of them claimed the Habsburg state as their empire.
The empire s creative solutions to governing its many lands and peoples as well as the intractable problems it could not solve left an enduring imprint on its successor states in Central Europe. Its lessons remain no less important today."

评分 评分说起哈布斯堡,绝大多数中国人是比较陌生的。地名,还是人名,恐怕都分不清楚。但是,如果是在欧洲,这绝对会是一个震耳发聩的名字,如同我们现在说起罗斯柴尔德一样。 哈布斯堡,是一个家族的名字,更代表了一个王朝。从十三世纪鲁道夫一世成为神圣罗马帝国的皇帝开始,这个家...
评分在现今的中欧,属于哈布斯堡王朝的痕迹愈来愈淡,生活在王朝曾经领土上的人们,或在民族国家中享受民主,抑或水深火热,却很少再提起那个曾辉煌多时的庞大帝国。从11世纪初兴起的哈布斯堡强大家族,15世纪开始先后统治了神圣罗马帝国、奥地利帝国、奥匈帝国等跨语言、跨民族的...
