Kaum eine Studie zum Deutschen Kaiserreich kommt ohne einen Verweis auf die "PreuÃYischen JahrbÃ"cher" als einflussreicher Stimme der Zeit aus, deren Herausgeber Hans DelbrÃ"ck keine Kontroverse scheute. Jonas Kleins systematische Beziehungsgeschichte untersucht, woher das Vertrauen resultierte, das Hans DelbrÃ"ck als politischer Intellektueller parteiÃ"bergreifend genoss. Indem die wichtigsten innen- und auÃYenpolitischen Krisenherde des Kaiserreichs in den Blick genommen werden, kristallisieren sich die politischen Grundlinien heraus, auf die DelbrÃ"ck die "PreuÃYischen JahrbÃ"cher" verpflichtete: fÃ"r einen starken Staat, kulturellen Liberalismus, progressive Sozialpolitik und nationale Integration. Sein unermÃ"dlicher, keineswegs solitÃ¤rer Kampf fÃ"r einen "aufgeklÃ¤rten Konservatismus" zeugt von alternativen Entwicklungsoptionen des Hohenzollernstaates.
