L'Impero Asburgico, una storia d'Europa (1740-1918?)

Abstract

A major revision has recently transformed the Habsburg studies, by providing non-national and antideterministic approaches to the national questions and nationalism. Fostering and following this revision, Pieter Judson’s important work re-writes the history of the Habsburg Empire as part and parcel of Europe as a whole. He focusses on the processes of (imperial) state-building, on the modernization of the everyday life, on the nationalist movements (and on the obstacles to them), on the long-standing Habsburg legacies in the successor states.
