Conclusion. 330 $aThis edited collection presents a pan-European history of intermediary government and administration in nineteenth-century Europe. Taking a closer look at senior government officials who represented the sovereign or state far away from the capital, the book highlights the intermediary nature of their roles, which fell somewhere between the municipality and central bureaucracy. Against the backdrop of revolution and upheaval brought about by the Enlightenment and the First World War, the nineteenth century was a crucial period for reform and political change. Taking a transnational approach, the contributors examine the similarities between the challenges that faced government officials in different European states, focusing on their common role as mediators: firstly, between the ?centre? and the ?peripheries?; and secondly, between the population and hierarchies of power. The status and prerogative of these officials are discussed, providing insights into the lives of French Préfets, Prussian Oberpräsidenten, Austrian Statthalter, Italian Prefetti, dutch Commissarissen des Konings and governors in Russia and Spain. The special case of the United Kingdom, where there were neither prefects nor governors, serves as a mirror. Dismantling the barriers between different national histories, this book represents a comprehensive and comparative investigation into the roles of nineteenth-century provincial administrators in Europe, an important read for anyone researching European political history or the history of the state. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Political History,$x2946-5184 606 $aEurope$xHistory 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aWorld history 606 $aEurope, Central$xHistory 606 $aEuropean History 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History 606 $aHistory of Germany and Central Europe 606 $aGovern$2thub 606 $aPolítica$2thub 606 $aFuncionaris$2thub 607 $aEuropa$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aEurope$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 0$aEurope, Central$xHistory. 615 14$aEuropean History. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 615 24$aHistory of Germany and Central Europe. 615 7$aGovern 615 7$aPolítica 615 7$aFuncionaris 676 $a341.2422 676 $a940.280922 702 $aKarila-Cohen$b Pierre 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910629284403321 996 $aPrefects and governors in nineteenth-century Europe$93083399 997 $aUNINA
