Renowned academics compare major features of imperial rule in the
19th century, reflecting a significant shift away from nationalism
and toward empires in the studies of state building. The book
responds to the current interest in multi-unit formations, such as
the European Union and the expanded outreach of the United States.
National historical narratives have systematically marginalized
imperial dimensions, yet empires play an important role. This book
examines the methods discerned in the creation of the Habsburg
Monarchy, the Ottoman Empire, the Hohenzollern rule and Imperial
Russia. It inspects the respective imperial elites in these
empires, and it details the role of nations, religions and
ideologies in the legitimacy of empire building, bringing the
Spanish Empire into the analysis. The final part of the book
focuses on modern empires, such as the German "Reich." The essays
suggest that empires were more adaptive and resilient to change
than is commonly thought.
