The newest nationalism that currently permeates politics, governmental policies, and official history writing may highlight some global histories, but it often does so in nationalist terms, while denying that the same national societies played roles as active agents in constructing, maintaining, and reforming empire. Global history has come late to Habsburg Central Europe, and when it has, it often tends to bypass the Habsburg Empire and its successor states. ![]() Professor of Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century History ![]()
