- Summary:
- This study, based on exhaustive use of state archives, analyzes Kaunitz's mature political career, as the most influential proponent of modernization and reform. Enlightened absolutism in the Habsburg Monarchy produced some of the boldest innovations in eighteenth-century Europe, and this book uses the biographical focus to elucidate the full complexity of the decision-making processes and inner workings of the regime.
