ABSTRACT This article investigates the formation of a transnational secret police corps in the Habsburg Empire in post-Napoleonic Europe. It shows that widespread anxieties in imperigal Austria following several nineteenth-century revolutions (1830, 1848) led to the recruitment of secret police agents, who operated across Europe. These agents were used to keep track of revolutionaries and radical organizations beyond the empire’s borders, who – in the authorities’ perception – might be detrimental for state security. The article uses a microhistorical approach to analyse this state institution and follows closely the lives and careers of several such agents. It thus delivers a transnational and ‘from below’ perspective on nineteenth-century Austrian state formation. This perspective, the paper argues, underlines the blurred and complex relations between state and society, and highlights the personal agency of obscure figures such as secret agents and police informers. 1 1 I would like to thank Alexander Maxwell, Christopher Clark, Brendan Simms, Frank Lorenz Mueller, and the two anonymous reviewrs for their insightful comments during the preparation of this article.

ABSTRACT Both Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson and British publicist and historian Robert William Seton-Watson have been widely recognized as champions of the rights of small nations. Owing to their tireless engagement for the Slovak cause, they are regular “guests of honour” at conferences or commemorations in Slovakia to keep the memory of among others, the Černova tragedy of 1907 alive. Bjørnson’s activity for the Slovaks has received a very special attention in Norway, too, but so far only from a Czechoslovak/Slovak perspective. The emphasis is on the internationally acclaimed Nobel Prize-winning poet’s changing assessment of Hungary: his full support for Hungarian demands during the Austro-Hungarian constitutional crisis (1905-6), followed by a radical change for the worse in his attitude towards Hungary, and his heated debate with the Hungarian Minister of Education, Albert Apponyi. The article seeks to explore Bjørnson’s main motivations for such a large-scale international campaign, the shortcomings of which become all the more apparent in the light of Seton-Watson’s similar pro-Slovak activity. Moreover, Bjørnson’s and Seton-Watson’s articles and correspondence in Norwegian, English, German and French, as well as secondary sources in Slovak and Hungarian reveal hard lessons about the policy of Magyarization and the pre-war Hungarian attitudes towards well-meaning foreign critics. It is argued that instead of being used to foment national antagonisms and conflicts in Central-Europe, historical memory should be inspired by Bjørnson’s and Seton-Watson’s best vision of Europe as a continent of equals.

ABSTRACT This article investigates the debates of the Hôtel Lambert, the constitutional monarchist wing of the Great Polish Emigration, led by Adam Jerzy Czartoryski, about the Austrian rule in Galicia, with a specific focus on the question of the position of Austrian bureaucracy in plans for the future Polish uprising. From the Hôtel Lambert’s point of view, Galicia was an integral part of a restored independent Polish state. Discussions about its strategic position and the role of its inhabitants were a critical part of plans for the future uprising. The local Austrian bureaucracy was also among those groups who were, therefore, debated. The article concludes that although Czartoryski shared the generally accepted negative image of the bureaucracy in his pre-emigration writings, once in Paris all plans for the uprising emphasized the importance of maintaining the functioning administration. Consequently, according to the Hôtel Lambert’s plans, bureaucrats in Galicia (and in the Prussian and Russian partitions as well) would play one of the crucial roles during the Polish insurrection. Either voluntarily, receiving benefits like promotion, or by force, under the direct supervision of insurgents. In that case, they would be later released from the service and expelled from the country. 1 1 Several of the arguments presented in this article had been previously discussed in the author’s study, “Z kolonizátorov asimilovaní, z nepriateľov spojenci: Germanizácia Haliče z pohl’adu Adama Jerzyho Czartoryského a Hôtel Lambert 1830 – 1846 [From Colonizers to those who Were Assimilated, from Enemies to Allies: Germanization of Galicia through the Eyes of Adam Jerzy Czartoryski and Hôtel Lambert 1830 –1846].

本文调查了由Adam Jerzy Czartoryski领导的波兰大移民中的君主立宪派Hôtel Lambert关于奥地利在加利西亚的统治的争论，并特别关注奥地利官僚机构在未来波兰起义计划中的地位问题。从Hôtel兰伯特的观点来看，加利西亚是恢复独立的波兰国家不可分割的一部分。关于其战略地位和居民角色的讨论是未来起义计划的关键部分。因此，奥地利当地的官僚机构也在辩论的群体之列。文章的结论是，尽管恰尔托雷斯基在他移民前的著作中分享了普遍接受的官僚主义的负面形象，但一旦到了巴黎，所有的起义计划都强调了维持行政运作的重要性。因此，根据Hôtel兰伯特的计划，加利西亚(以及普鲁士和俄罗斯的分区)的官僚将在波兰起义中发挥关键作用之一。要么是自愿接受升职之类的好处，要么是在叛乱分子的直接监督下被迫接受。在这种情况下，他们随后将被解除兵役，并被驱逐出境。11本文中提出的几个论点已经在作者的研究中讨论过，“Z kolonizátorov asimilovaní， Z nepriateľov spojenci: Germanizácia hali Z pohl 'adu Adama Jerzyho czartorysksamho a Hôtel Lambert 1830 - 1846[从殖民者到被同化的人，从敌人到盟友:亚当·Jerzy Czartoryski和Hôtel Lambert 1830 - 1846]。在捷克共和国:捷克共和国režimov，斯洛伐克共和国和životného štšlu，斯洛文尼亚共和国和斯洛伐克共和国，捷克共和国和波兰共和国Eurôpe。做警察。storočia。Jubileum Dušana Kováča。-布拉迪斯拉发:HistorickÝ ústav SAV: Veda, vydavate 'stvo SAV, 2021，第65-82页。ISBN 978-80-224-1921-5。

ABSTRACT During the Age of Revolutions, the Habsburg monarchy initially opposed nationalist movements as revolutionary. While the monarchy later sought to co-opt loyal patriots, historical memory often imagines the Habsburg state as implacably opposed to both nationalism and nationalist movements. In practice, however, Habsburg officials and central European nationalisms overlapped and engaged with each other in surprising ways. Their interaction problematizes a sharp line between monarchism and nationalism. This essay speficially introduces a special issue of Central Europe, consisting of two papers presented at a 2022 conference on the Habsburg state apparatus. The two papers explored the tensions and interactions between Habsburg officials and patriot circles as they played out in international relations. Polish exiles sought to recruit Habsburg officials to the national cause, while Habsburg agents sought to recruit patriots to the spy network of the Habsburg political police.

This is the second part of an ongoing series that is part of this journal’s continuing commitment to our colleagues in Ukraine. In more peaceful times they could focus on publishing their work on the larger culture of central Europe in journals such as this one. Instead, they are now forced to confront the horror of war every day. The least we can do is provide another forum for their voices to be heard. We are grateful to our colleagues in Ukraine for their texts and to their translators for making this series possible.

ABSTRACT The study is the first to examine Anglo-Czechoslovak relations during the second world war from the perspective of discourse analysis. It reconstructs the evolution of the Czechoslovak exiles’ Anglophilia through articles published in three major exile newspapers – Čechoslovák, Mladé/Nové Československo and Nová svoboda – between October 1939 and May 1945. It claims that the new significant Other, whose image included numerous idealizations as well as objective reflections, liberated exiled Czechs and served as an important guide in the quest for a better future for their own country. The study also demonstrates how quickly favourable conditions can create fruitful transcultural space between nations that had, hitherto, been separated by geography, culture and language.
本研究首次从话语分析的角度考察了二战期间英捷关系。它通过在1939年10月至1945年5月期间在三份主要的流亡报纸Čechoslovák、mlad / nov Československo和novvoboda上发表的文章，重建了捷克斯洛伐克流亡者亲英主义的演变。它声称，新的重要他者，其形象包括许多理想化和客观的反思，解放了流亡的捷克人，并在为自己的国家寻求更美好的未来方面发挥了重要的指导作用。这项研究还表明，有利的条件可以在迄今为止因地理、文化和语言而分离的国家之间迅速创造出富有成效的跨文化空间。
