Abstract This article analyzes an 1869 law from Cisleithania that defined all running waters as public goods. Economic and political actors debated the issue of water rights over several decades in the mid-nineteenth century, as is shown in contemporary publications, proceedings of assemblies, and administrative archives. The legal solution that was ultimately adopted established the management of water rights and uses according to a particular form of property which was intentionally preferred over a system of private appropriation. Looking in detail at what “public good” meant for the actors, this article argues that settling the legal status of rivers served to both consolidate the imperial state's power over society and to make water resources available to a productivist economic system. The new relationships to the environment that emerged during this time were inseparable from contemporary political and economic developments, and legislating was one way to bind these aspects together. Moreover, the case of water rights in the Habsburg Empire adds nuance to binary oppositions between private property and commons that dominate the study of property regimes and environment today. It invites us to consider how the establishment of a productivist economic system rested on a combination of different forms of property and strong state intervention.

Abstract This short piece comments on the articles presented in the forum on Adriatic tourism and their analyses of competing historical claims to “our Adriatic.” The comment focuses on questions raised about ownership of the sea and the Adriatic's borders of belonging. While sovereignty over areas of the Adriatic has proven an enduring diplomatic issue in both the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the forum authors instead consider claims by different types of actors: tourists (particularly Czech tourists who claimed a special relationship between Czechs and their South Slav “brothers”); investors in hotels and related infrastructure; socialist Yugoslav tourism planners; and environmentalists concerned with issues of pollution. In tracing out tensions in the agendas of hosts and visitors, as well as planners and scientists, the forum's essays measure and map the socio-ecological metabolism of the modern eastern Adriatic.

standing of identity and community fueled discussions of ethnic and linguistic differences within the Bulgarian Muslim community, especially between ethnic Turks and Tatars. At the same time, Methodieva points out that Bulgarian Muslims demonstrated solidarity with other Muslim communities in a global context. They were particularly interested in the fate of Muslims in Habsburg Bosnia and the Crimean Tatars in the Russian Empire, with whom they shared the experience of being Muslim minorities. Between Empire and Nation is a well-written and thoroughly researched history of Bulgaria’s Muslim community between 1878 and 1908, the period from the emergence of Bulgaria as a nation-state under Ottoman suzerainty to its formal independence. Its main strength is its basis on a careful analysis of Ottoman and Bulgarian archival documents and printed source material, with a specific focus on the writings of Muslim reform activists. Methodieva’s approach achieves its goal of highlighting the voices and experiences of Bulgaria’s Muslims and portraying them as active agents of political and social change. She vividly illustrates how Bulgaria’s Muslims, a minority that enjoyed equal civil rights on paper but nevertheless encountered exclusion and discrimination in practice, found their place in the new Bulgarian state. More importantly, she demonstrates that Bulgaria’s Muslim community was not a homogeneous bloc but consisted of various ethnic and linguistic groups with different ideas and loyalties. Although ostensibly focused on political activists and personalities, Methodieva also considers the situation of marginalized groups, such as women, Muslim Roma, and Pomaks (Bulgarian-speaking Muslims). The result of her efforts is a convincing case for the importance of situating Muslim reform movements and political activism in their specific local contexts, which she accomplishes through her comprehensive account of the political, social, and demographic circumstances in which Bulgaria’s Muslims lived during the period under study. Ideally, the work’s focus on the Bulgarian context could also have been emphasized in its title, which simply refers to Muslim reform in the Balkans. Some other limitations to the otherwise excellent study include its focus on political activists and personalities, with comparatively little attention paid to the everyday experiences of “ordinary” people or the functioning of Islamic religious structures within Bulgarian state structures. Nevertheless, the author’s meticulous research provides a valuable contribution to the study of Muslim communities in Bulgaria and the broader post-Ottoman context. The readable and well-structured work is a valuable resource for historians and others interested in Muslim reformism and minority studies.

Abstract At the turn of the sixteenth century, the Habsburgs formulated a distinct dynastic identity that centered around their claims of ancient ancestry. They promoted this identity through an elaborate symbolic apparatus that extensively evoked historical and mythological figures from antiquity. This article identifies one such strand in the Habsburgs’ symbolic repertoires that centered upon their identification with Scipio Africanus (236/235–183 BC), the famous Roman general celebrated for his campaigns against Carthage. By tracing the Habsburgs’ uses of Scipio, this article offers a reassessment of the dynasty's relationship with these images. Traditionally, the Habsburgs’ shared symbolic repertoires have been understood to be a source of strength, providing a degree of unity and uniformity to the dynasty scattered across early modern Europe. This article argues that this dynastic uniformity ought not to be taken for granted. While the Habsburgs shared an attachment to Scipio, their interpretations of this Roman hero differed from each other in ways that were revealing of their individual needs, ambitions, and struggles as well as rivalries and animosities within the dynasty. The Habsburgs’ different—ultimately competing—uses of Scipio demonstrate that while their reliance on shared symbolic repertoires presented a significant advantage, it also rendered them uniquely vulnerable.
