{"product_id":"9781138836334","title":"Joseph II (Profiles in Power)","description":"Joseph II (1741--90) -- son and eventual successor of Maria Theresa -- has conventionally been seen in the context of the \"Enlightened Despot'''' reformers. Today''s turmoil in his former territories invites a rather different perspective, however, as Joseph grapples with the familiar and intractable problems of creating a viable unitary state out of his multi-national empire in Central Europe. Professor Blanning''s brilliant short study, based on extensive archival research, offers a history of the Habsburg monarchy in the eighteenth century, as well as a revaluation of the emperor''s complex personality and his ill-fated reform programme.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45415724187727,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":8190.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9781138836334-1.jpg?v=1780453534","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/en\/products\/9781138836334","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
