A unique study on the relationship between state administration and politics, examining how the office of the Czech Landsmannminister became the primary vehicle for the politicization of the Habsburg state. Through case studies in Vienna, Prague, and České Budějovice, it chronicles the Young Czech Party's systematic campaign to gain control of selected key positions within the administration of the multinational monarchy. The narrative details how ministers used personnel policy to embed loyalists within the bureaucracy, consistently bypassing merit in favor of national and political allegiance to successfully "Czechize" the formally supranational administration.
Martin Klečacký is a researcher at the Masaryk Institute and Archives of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague. He specializes in the modern history of the Bohemian lands, with a focus on public administration, elites, and parliamentarism in the Habsburg Monarchy and interwar Czechoslovakia.
