A Good Example of Peaceful Coexistence? a Mueller · Wolfgang the Soviet Union, Austria, and Neutrality, 1955–1991 This monograph, based on newly declassifi ed sources from Western and Russi- an archives as well as on communist texts about international law and neutrality, A Good Example of is the fi rst English-language account of Soviet policy towards neutral yet capi- talist Austria during the Cold War. In order to make neutrality a model for the West, the Kremlin presented the unique Soviet-Austrian relationship as “a good Peaceful Coexistence? example of peaceful coexistence” and a showcase for the benefi ts a Western state might reap by declaring neutrality. This honor, however, had strings attached: The communist doctrine of neutrality contained obligations that were expected to make it possible to exploit neutral states as instruments of Soviet policy and bring them nearer the socialist bloc. While Austrian leaders were careful to avoid these pitfalls, Soviet interventions in Hungary and Czechoslovakia in 1956 and 1968 and interference into Austria’s interpretation of neutral policy could not but deeply affect Austrian policy and the Soviet-Austrian honeymoon. “Ein großer Wurf!” – Gerald Stourzh, Professor emeritus, University of Vienna “The study transcends the Austrian case and makes an important contribution to our knowledge about Soviet foreign policy.” – Andreas Kappeler, Professor of Russian History, University of Vienna “Rich in content, mature in its conception, and methodologically innovative.” – Michael Gehler, Professor of History, University of Hildesheim Wolfgang Mueller · A Good Example of Peaceful Coexistence?

  • Austria's Presidential Election Is Set to Be Another Vote Dominated by The
    Austria’s presidential election is set to be another vote dominated by the issue of immigration blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2016/03/01/austrias-presidential-election-is-set-to-be-another-vote-dominated-by-the-issue-of-immigration/ 3/1/2016 Austria will hold a presidential election on 24 April, with a run off scheduled for 22 May if no candidate manages to win an absolute majority in the first vote. Emmanuel Sigalas states that while the post itself is largely ceremonial, the election will be a key test of the relative standing of each of the main parties. He writes that the contest is likely to be dominated by the issue of the migration crisis and the creeping influence of the Freedom Party of Austria’s (FPÖ) anti-immigration platform over the Austrian government. On 24 April, young (the voting age is 16) and old Austrians alike will cast their ballot, in person or by post, for the new President of the Republic. She, or most likely he, will replace the incumbent President Heinz Fischer, who will have served two terms in office (i.e. twelve years). By more or less general accord, Fischer has been regarded as a good President. He has fulfilled his predominantly symbolic duties (embodying and promoting national unity and interests) well. His name has not been associated with any scandals, and even if he is not the most charismatic political leader in the country’s history, he has undoubtedly proved to be simpatico. Of course, when Fischer was first elected in 2004 the context was completely different.

  • The Identification of Customary International Law by Austrian Courts
    The Identifi cation of Customary International Law by Austrian Courts August Reinisch and Peter Bachmayer* I. Introduction Customary international law, that venerable bedrock of inter-state law, has received increased attention recently. After the International Law Associ- ation (ILA),1 the International Law Commission (ILC) included the topic ‘Formation and evidence of customary international law’ in its programme of work,2 and subsequently decided to focus on the question of the ‘Identi- fi cation of customary international law’.3 The following contribution aims at analysing how domestic courts in Austria have addressed this issue of identifying custom. Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) refers to customary international law as ‘evidence of a general practice accepted as law’ and lists it as one of the main sources of international law. Custom is formed by two essential elements: (1) a consistent practice of states as indicated by a state’s external behavior towards other states as well as by internal acts like domestic legislation, government memoranda or judicial decisions if they relate to the international fi eld; and (2) the belief that such a practice has a legally binding effect upon the state (opinio iuris). * August Reinisch is Professor of International and European Law at the University of Vienna and Vice-Dean of the Law School of the University of Vienna. He may be contacted at [email protected]. Peter Bachmayer is a project assistant with the EU-funded project ‘International Law Through the National Prism’. He may be contacted at [email protected].

  • Der Erfolg Der FPÖ: Österreichs Parteien- Und Regierungssystem Unter Druck
    Matthias Belafi Der Erfolg der FPÖ: Österreichs Parteien- und Regierungssystem unter Druck Bei der letzten Nationalratswahl in Österreich am 29. September 2013 konnten SPÖ und ÖVP nur noch ganz knapp über 50 % der Stimmen auf sich vereinen, so dass die Neuauflage der »Großen Koalition« nur noch als »MiGroKo« (für: mittelgroße Koali- tion) bezeichnet wurde und als letzte Chance für die beiden Parteien galt.1 Seitdem war die Regierung beinahe schon gelähmt aus Angst vor Neuwahlen, weil davon auszuge- hen war, dass die FPÖ als stärkste Kraft daraus hervorgehen und den nächsten Kanzler stellen werde. Bestätigt wurde diese Sorge durch die Bundespräsidentenwahl im Jahr 2016, die unterstrich, in welcher schwierigen Situation sich die beiden Regierungspar- teien befanden. Im ersten Wahlgang am 24. April gab es ein Kopf-an-Kopf-Rennen der Kandidaten von SPÖ und ÖVP, das erst nach der Auszählung der Briefwahlstimmen entschieden wurde. Dieses enge Rennen zwischen den Kandidaten der Parteien der Großen Koalition drehte sich allerdings nur um die Plätze vier und fünf. Rudolf Hundstorfer von der SPÖ erzielte 11,3, Andreas Khol von der ÖVP 11,1 %. Der FPÖ-Kandidat Norbert Hofer schnitt mit 35 % mit deutlichem Abstand als bester Kandidat ab und unterlag im zweiten Wahlgang am 22. Mai mit 49,65 % nur knapp dem Grünen Alexander Van der Bellen. Die Wahl wurde auf Antrag der FPÖ jedoch wegen Verstößen gegen das Wahlgesetz aufgehoben und – nach einer weiteren Ver- schiebung wegen nichtklebender Wahlumschläge – am 4. Dezember 2016 wiederholt. Hofer verlor diese Stichwahl mit 46,2 %. Aufmerksam und mit Sorge beobachtete qua- si ganz Europa knapp ein Jahr die mögliche Wahl eines freiheitlichen Bundespräsiden- ten in Österreich, die als Signal für den Aufstieg der Rechtspopulisten in Europa galt.

  • Eastern Europe
    * *»t« »t<»»t« ************* Eastern Europe INTRODUCTION FTER A PROTRACTED STRUGCLE, Nikita Khrushchev succeeded in July 1957 AL. in securing the removal from top Communist Party and government positions of Vyacheslav Molotov, Lazar Kaganovich, Georgi Malenkov, and Dmitri Shepilov. At the same time two other lesser party leaders, Mikail Pervukhin and Maxim Saburov, were removed from the Party presidium. The decision to remove them was taken at a plenary meeting of the Com- munist Party Central Committee in Moscow June 22-29, 1957. Khrushchev and the 309-member Central Committee accused the deposed leaders, the so- called "anti-Party group," of wanting to lead the Party back to the pattern of leadership and the political line that had prevailed under Josef Stalin. While there were varying interpretations as to which of the contending men and factions represented what policy, it was clear that in this all-important fight for power a new and significant element had been introduced. In his duel with the oldest and most authoritative leaders of the Party, Khrushchev could not muster more than about half of the presidium votes. The powerful support he needed to break the deadlock came from the Soviet army. The backing of Marshal Georgi Zhukov, according to reliable reports, assured Khrushchev's victory. At the same Central Committee meeting, Zhukov was elevated to full membership in the Party presidium. After the June plenum, the influence of Marshal Zhukov and his role in the government of the Soviet Union seemed to increase, and the marshal's pronouncements indicated that he did not underestimate his newly acquired power position.

  • 1 Introduction 2 the New Religious Orders 3 the Council of Trent And
    NOTES 1 Introduction I. This term designates first of all the act of 'confessing' or professing a par­ ticular faith; secondly, it indicates the content of that which is confessed or professed, as in the Augsburg Confession; finally then it comes to mean the group that confesses this particular content, the church or 'confession'. 2 The New Religious Orders I. The terms 'order' and 'congregation' in this period were not always clear. An order usually meant solemn vows, varying degrees of exemption from the local bishop, acceptance of one of the major rules (Benedictine, Augustinian, Franciscan), and for women cloister.A congregation indicated simple vows and usually subordination to local diocesan authority. A con­ fraternity usually designated an association of lay people, sometimes including clerics, organized under a set of rules , to foster their common religious life and usually to undertake some common apostolic work. In some cases confraternities evolved into congregations, as was the case with many of the third orders, and congregations evolved into orders. 2. There is no effort here to list all the new orders and congregations that appeared in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. 3. An English translation of Regimini Militantis Ecclesiae, the papal bull of 27 September 1540 establishing the Society ofJesus, is found in John Olin, The Catholic Reformation: Savonarola to Ignatius Loyola: Reform in the Church, /495-1540 (New York: Harper and Row, 1969), pp. 203-8. 3 The Council of Trent and the Papacy I.

We used multilingual topic modeling to examine language-specific bias in the English, Spanish, and Russian versions of Wikipedia. In particular, we placed Spanish articles discussing the Cold War on a Russian-English viewpoint spectrum based on similarity in topic distribution. We then crowdsourced human annotations of Spanish Wikipedia articles for comparison to the topic model. Our hypothesis was that human annotators and topic modeling algorithms would provide correlated results for bias. However, that was not the case. Our annotators indicated that humans were more perceptive of sentiment in article text than topic distribution, which suggests that our classifier provides a different perspective on a text’s bias.

    Digital Archive digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org International History Declassified February 21, 1948 Report of the Special Action of the Polish Socialist Party in Prague, 21-25 February 1948 Citation: “Report of the Special Action of the Polish Socialist Party in Prague, 21-25 February 1948,” February 21, 1948, History and Public Policy Program Digital Archive, Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Warsaw), file 217, packet 16, pp. 1-11. Translated by Anna Elliot-Zielinska. http://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/117117 Summary: In the midst of a cabinet crisis in Czechoslovakia that would lead to the February Communist coup, several delegates from the Polish Socialist Party were sent to Prague to spread socialist influence. The crisis is outlined, as well as a thorough report of the conference in Prague. Credits: This document was made possible with support from the Leon Levy Foundation. Original Language: Polish Contents: English Translation In accordance with the resolution of the Political Commission and General Secretariat of the Central Executive Committee (CKW) of the Polish Socialist Party (PPS), made late on the night of 20 February 1948, Com. Kazimierz Rusinek, Adam Rapacki, Henryk Jablonski, and Stefan Arski were delegated to go to Prague. This decision was made after a thorough analysis of the political situation in Czechoslovakia brought on by a cabinet crisis there. The goal of the delegation was to inform the Central Committee of the Czechoslovak Social Democratic Party (SD) about the basic stance of the PPS and possibly to influence the SD Central Committee in the spirit of leftist-socialist and revolutionary politics. The motive behind the decision of the Political Commission and General Secretariat was the fear that, from the leftist socialist point of view, the situation at the heart of SD after the Brno Congress was taking an unfavorable shape.
