“More than generating mere accounting, these state-building practices sought eventually to replace traditional local relationships of power with new loyalties that tied individuals to the central state. To do so, however, meant breaking the traditional political dominance exercised by regional powerbrokers, the local nobility.”

“Since the late 1990s historians of the Habsburg Monarchy have often been in the forefront of European historians in developing cultural, transnational, or comparative approaches that question some of the most tenacious binary concepts that have traditionally structured most accounts of Western versus Eastern Europe: “civic nationhood” versus “ethnic nationhood,” “developed” versus “backward,” “democratic” versus “authoritarian,” “ethnic homogeneity” versus “ethnic mosaic.” Their work shows that these supposed oppositions largely fail when tested against evidence drawn from local society.22 Today the field of Habsburg history flourishes as a site of remarkable creativity and innovation.”
