Coordinating Committee: An Austrian Deputation Looks at War, Taxes, and Reform, 1697-1703

by William B. Slottman

This study, better known as the Deputatio, is that of the institution established by Emperor Leopold toward the end of the Austro-Turkish War (1683-1699) to coordinate procedures designed to raise financial support for the war from the monarchy. Since the Deputatio dealt also with numerous other problems affecting the empire, this book is also a fundamental analysis of the institutional and political problems of fin de siecle Habsburg monarchy.
