- English abstract
- German. Die Thronfolger explores the persistence of monarchical forms of government in Europe during the Long Nineteenth Century. It focuses on an essential element of every hereditary system of rule: the heir to the throne. Looking at the lives of future monarchs in more than a dozen European states, it investigates their impact on the portrayal, modernization and defence of monarchical systems. The book explores the roles of royal heirs in contexts and arenas as diverse as the changing constitutional framework, media and soft power, the militarisation of society and culture, education and the increasingly tension-ridden sphere of dynastic relations.
