 austria-hungary - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
Many texts refer to the non-Hungarian ("Austrian") half part of Austria-Hungary as Cisleithania -- because most of its territory lay west (or to "this" side, from an Austrian perspective) of the Leitha river (although Galicia to the north-east also counted as "Austrian").
Within Cisleithania and Hungary certain regions, such as Galicia and Croatia, enjoyed special status with their own unique governmental structures.
After 1879 the Austro-Hungarian government slowly began to re-nationalize the rail network, largely because of the sluggish pace of development during the worldwide depression of the 1870s.

 Austro-Hungarian Empire - MSN Encarta
In Cisleithania in the later 1890s the sharpening of the Czech-German conflict in Bohemia led to the paralysis of the parliamentary bodies in Prague and Vienna.
The emperor resorted to governments composed of civil servants, and budgets were regularly implemented by emergency decree, until electoral reform in 1905 held out the prospect that the squabbling bourgeois nationalist politicians would be swamped by the new mass Social Democratic and Christian Social parties.
In Cisleithania electoral reform proved to be no panacea, as nationalist conflicts soon invaded the new mass parties, and parliament was again in deadlock by 1914.

 Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
The agreement to establish the Dual Monarchy, which was worked out primarily by the Austrian foreign minister, Count Beust, and two Hungarians, the elder Count Andrássy and Francis Deak, divided the Hapsburg empire into two states.
Cisleithania [Lat.,=the land on this side of the Leitha River] comprised Austria proper, Bohemia, Moravia, Austrian Silesia, Slovenia, and Austrian Poland; it was to be ruled by the Hapsburg monarchs in their capacity as emperors of Austria.
Transleithania [Lat.,=the land on the other side of the Leitha River] included Hungary, Transylvania, Croatia, and part of the Dalmatian coast; it was to be ruled by the Hapsburg monarchs in their capacity as kings of Hungary.

 Austria-Hungary
The non-Hungarian ("Austrian") half part of Austria-Hungary is often called Cisleithania because most of its territory lay west (or to "this" side, from an Austrian perspective) of the Leitha river, although Galicia to the north-east was also a part.
The dominant ethnic group in each half of the Empire constituted a minority in the area which it controlled: Germans numbered only some 36% of Cisleithania's population, and Magyars slightly under a half of Hungary's.
After 1879 the government began to slowly renationalize the rail network, largely because of the sluggish pace of development during the worldwide depression of the 1870s.

 H-Net Review: William E. Wright on Die Habsburgermonarchie, 1848-1918. Vol. VII, Verfassung und ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Wilhelm Brauneder completes the study of constitutional development in Cisleithania, proposing a division of three periods: the constitutional monarchy of 1848 to 1851; the neo-estates limitation of monarchy from 1852 to 1967; and the constitutional monarchy of the December Constitution from 1867 to 1918.
The first three sections deal with: the general composition of the bodies and the right to the franchise; their structure, instruments, procedures, and their achievements; and, finally, their problems of finance in both the raising and the disbursing of funds.
The representative body of each province of Cisleithania is examined in turn, with more detailed discussion of the peculiarities in history, the distinctive issues and problems, and the manner in which each one overcame--or failed to overcome--its problems.

I have studied its characteristics with interest, remembering that there was at one time, in some quarters of America, a project of a dual government for the Union, as a modus vivendi for North and South.
The seventeen provinces of Austria constitute Cisleithania, which has a complete legislature (Reichsrath) composed of two houses, and a responsible ministry of its own.
The two separate legislatures must provide and pay over the balance of the sums as voted by the delegations, in the proportions which they must separately agree upon, and which, under the compromise now expiring, was 68.8 per cent.

 Czechs in Vienna - A wave of immigrants around 1900
In Cisleithania, this was no more than 35.6 percent, and in all of Austro-Hungary, much less.
In this new democratic system the Germans were forced to relinquish their former position of predominance, to share their rule with the empire's other nationalities, and ultimately to submit them- selves to the non-German majority.
In Cisleithania, the Czechs were the most powerful nation after the Germans; they were highly educated and economically very productive, and they represented a fierce competition to the German-Bohemians, particularly because they were a source of cheaper labor.

Cisleithania was the other half of the Empire and was commonly known as “Austria” even though it included a range of territories other than Austria proper, such as Galicia and Bohemia, with the capital in Vienna.
The Germans dominated Cisleithania although local-autonomy was granted to certain extents to the Poles and Czechs.
Perhaps the most important change was the removal of Beck as the Prime Minister of Austria (Cisleithania).
