A unique study on the relationship between state administration and politics, examining how the office of the Czech Landsmannminister became the primary vehicle for the politicization of the Habsburg state. Through case studies in Vienna, Prague, and České Budějovice, it chronicles the Young Czech Party’s systematic campaign to gain control of selected key positions within the administration of the multinational monarchy. The narrative details how ministers used personnel policy to embed loyalists within the bureaucracy, consistently bypassing merit in favor of national and political allegiance to successfully “Czechize” the formally supranational administration.

“The author is well acquainted with the complicated structure of Habsburg Austria and is able to translate this difficult topic, not only to readers familiar with the time and region, but also to readers interested in the history of bureaucratic institutions, state development or problems of multi-national entities in times of change and conflict.” • Franz Adlgasser, Austrian Academy of Sciences
