Abstract Julius von Voß’ Utopie Ini. Ein Roman aus dem ein und zwanzigsten Jahrhundert (1810) entwirft für Europa eine fortschritts- und technikoptimistische Zukunft, in der für Katastrophen eigentlich kein Platz ist: Sicherheit triumphiert über Gefahr, und Katastrophenprävention hat höchste Priorität. Dass der Text dennoch vom Krieg, von Naturkatastrophen und Verkehrsunfällen erzählt, scheint dem Unterhaltungswert der Katastrophe geschuldet zu sein.Julius von Voß’s utopian novel Ini: Ein Roman aus dem ein und zwanzigsten Jahrhundert (1810) depicts a future European state that is marked by immense technical progress. In this state, national and individual security are highly important and every effort is made to prevent catastrophic events. However, in order to entertain his readers, Voß uses his novel to explore great catastrophes such as the horrors of war, natural desaster, and traffic accidents.

The City

- Unlike other great cities of Europe, Budapest did not experience any significant urban development before the nineteenth century, especially before 1867, the year of the foundation of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. After that, the city became the second pole, after Vienna, of this important European state. The capital of the Kingdom of Hungary grew through the use of various types of urban architecture and especially through a "style" that was meant to express Hungarian national identity. Architects, engineers, and other professionals from Hungary and Austria contributed to this process of modernization as well as many foreigners from Germany, France and England. The city's master plan - modeled after Paris's - focused on the area crossed by the Viale Sugár [Boulevard of the Spoke] was set on the Parisian model and so covered only certain parts of the city. The Committee on Public Works (1870-1948) played a leading role in putting the plan approved in 1972 - into effect in all aspects of urban planning, architecture and infrastructure.

This chapter focuses on limiting sovereignty. If unlimited sovereignty once looked plausible, even inviting, as a strategy for securing social order, the chapter reveals how the acts of the Stuart monarchs had made it look repellent. Strictly speaking, no European state ever attained full sovereignty as described by the classic theories. But efforts by some state actors to pursue such sovereignty inspired their opponents not just to rethink the theory, but also to engineer actual limits on political authority. In addition, the chapter turns to the American example—particularly on its applications of constitutional limits and restraints to sovereignty, and how these bear upon the classic theory.
