Set in a multiethnic region of the nineteenth-century Habsburg Empire, this thoroughly interdisciplinary study maps out how the competing Romanian, Hungarian and German nationalization projects dealt with proper names. With particular attention to their function as symbols of national histories, Berecz makes a case for names as ideal guides for understanding historical imaginaries and how they operate socially. In tracing the changing fortunes of nationalization movements and the ways in which their efforts were received by mass constituencies, he provides an innovative and compelling account of the historical utilization, manipulation, and contestation of names.

In the nineteenth century, the Netherlands and its colonial holdings in Java were the sites of dramatically increased industrialization. Led by a group of “merchant kings” who exemplified gentlemanly capitalism, this ambitious trading project transformed the small, economically moribund Netherlands into a global power. Merchant Kings offers a fascinating interdisciplinary exploration of this episode and reveals not only the distinctive nature of the Dutch state, but the surprising extent to which its nascent corporate innovations were rooted in early welfare initiatives. By placing colony and metropole into a single analytical frame, this book offers a bracing new approach to understanding the development of modern corporations.

Across eighteenth-century Europe, political power resided overwhelmingly with absolute monarchs, with notable exceptions including the much-studied British Parliament as well as the frequently overlooked Hungarian Diet, which placed serious constraints on royal power and broadened opportunities for political participation. Estates and Constitution provides a rich account of Hungarian politics during this period, restoring the Diet to its rightful place as one of the era’s major innovations in government. István M. Szijártó traces the religious, economic, and partisan forces that shaped the Diet, putting its historical significance in international perspective.

Personnage contrasté, souvent incompris, malheureux dans sa carrière militaire, Joseph Bonaparte souffre d'une image particulièrement négative en regard de la légende qui auréole la statue de son frère cadet Napoléon. Et pourtant, l'aîné de l'empereur fut le soutien permanent de son élévation et un pilier du nouveau régime instauré après le coup d'État du 18 Brumaire. Homme politique aux convictions modérées, grandement influencé par les idées des penseurs des Lumières, mais proche également des théories de Germaine de Staël, Joseph, est un personnage incontournable de la vie politique française. Devenu roi de Naples en 1806, puis roi d'Espagne en 1808, il s'attache, sans succès, à allier les principes du système de famille napoléonien à ses propres conceptions du pouvoir. Comme tous les souverains faisant partie intégrante de l'Empire, il ne parvient pas à éviter les tensions avec le maître de l'Europe, et le « meilleur des frères », et se mue peu à peu en un opposant résolu. Cette étude, qui se fonde sur les archives personnelles de Joseph, sa correspondance et des témoignages de contemporains, aborde successivement l'éducation parallèle des deux frères, leur parcours sous la Révolution, l'opposition menée par Joseph dans les premières années de l'Empire, son « laboratoire » napolitain, l'échec espagnol et la tentative d'instaurer dans la Péninsule un régime politique libéral, ainsi que les jours sombres de la Campagne de France. Elle tente également de comprendre l'émergence d'une pensée politique se voulant novatrice, le bonapartisme. Il s'agit moins d'une biographie de Joseph que du portrait de ses relations avec l'homme qu'il prétendait le mieux connaître et partager les traits, Napoléon.
