Summary note

• The Hungarian Parliament (1867-1918). A Mirage of Power analyses parliamentary representation in Hungary under the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. It offers an insight into the workings of a specifically Central European form of liberalism by describing the legal, social, national and cultural aspects of the representation mechanism and depicting the atmosphere in which a legitimation process characterised by both conservative and liberal elements gradually unfolded.
• This book attempts to discover why the first modern attempt to establish a constitutional state in Central Europe was so unsuccessful, while nevertheless creating a solid and liberal framework for pre-Trianon multinational Hungary and the region as a whole for over half a century.
