Abstract

This article analyses how wealthy men and women manipulated citizenship regimes during and after the Habsburg Empire to access the family laws most convenient for their private lives. To do this, I compare migratory divorce practices in pre-1918 Habsburg Hungary and the post-1918 Free State of Fiume. This article shows that while before 1918 it was mercenary actors who utilised legal loopholes between Austrian and Hungarian family laws and citizenship regulations to obtain divorces for the rich, after 1918 it was the impoverished, globally-isolated, mercenary postimperial state that procured the means for rich clients to buy their way out of their own state's family laws, raising questions about the relationship between the early twentieth-century postimperial world of globally dependent European successor states with today's postcolonial ‘golden passport’ system.

离婚磨坊:哈布斯堡帝国黄昏时期的雇佣兵公民身份
本文分析了在哈布斯堡帝国时期和之后,富有的男性和女性如何操纵公民身份制度,以获得对其私生活最有利的家庭法。为此,我比较了 1918 年前的哈布斯堡匈牙利和 1918 年后的菲乌姆自由邦的移民离婚做法。这篇文章表明,1918 年前是雇佣军利用奥地利和匈牙利家庭法与公民身份法规之间的法律漏洞为富人办理离婚,而 1918 年后则是贫穷、全球孤立、雇佣军化的后帝国国家为富人购买摆脱本国家庭法约束的手段,从而提出了 20 世纪早期全球依赖的欧洲继承国的后帝国世界与当今后殖民 "黄金护照 "制度之间关系的问题。

期刊介绍: Contemporary European History covers the history of Eastern and Western Europe, including the United Kingdom, from 1918 to the present. By combining a wide geographical compass with a relatively short time span, the journal achieves both range and depth in its coverage. It is open to all forms of historical inquiry - including cultural, economic, international, political and social approaches - and welcomes comparative analysis. One issue per year explores a broad theme under the guidance of a guest editor. The journal regularly features contributions from scholars outside the Anglophone community and acts as a channel of communication between European historians throughout the continent and beyond it.
