Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"A New Statesman Book of the Year"
"A really fascinating read."---Justin Kempf, Democracy Paradox
"A valuable contribution to the extensive, and growing, historiography concerning the origins of the modern state. While others have concentrated on non-Western or Western European countries to reach their conclusions about the evolution of modern politics, Wheatley’s case study breaks new ground in its analysis of an especially difficult case, the Austrian Empire after the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867." * Choice *
"A richly rewarding book. . . . Wheatley gracefully unpacks the complicated constitutional issues faced by inhabitants of the Habsburg monarchy." * History Today *
"Monumental. . . . Wheatley’s narrative recovers a world where international law was not a dead letter but a blueprint for a multinational and pluralistic world."---Yosef Malka, BR!NK
