The volume begins with an evaluation of Habsburg histories of internationalism (Glenda Sluga), devotes six chapters to "remaking actors and networks", and seven to "remaking territories and borders". A fine Epilogue (Patricia Clavin) sums up the relationship between the League and Central Europe as "foundational" for that institution, the region, and the world.
