Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Konrad Jarausch Reader: Dr. Lloyd Kramer Reader: Dr. Michael Hunt Reader: Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Kevin Mason ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kevin Mason: Building an Unwanted Nation: The Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934 (Under the direction of Dr. Christopher Browning) This project focuses on American and British economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties with Austria, and particularly with internal proponents of Austrian independence. Primarily through loans to build up the economy and diplomatic pressure, the United States and Great Britain helped to maintain an independent Austrian state and prevent an Anschluss or union with Germany from 1918 to 1934. In addition, this study examines the minority of Austrians who opposed an Anschluss . The three main groups of Austrians that supported independence were the Christian Social Party, monarchists, and some industries and industrialists. These Austrian nationalists cooperated with the Americans and British in sustaining an unwilling Austrian nation. Ultimately, the global depression weakened American and British capacity to practice dollar and pound diplomacy, and the popular appeal of Hitler combined with Nazi Germany’s aggression led to the realization of the Anschluss .

  • Rethinking the Sharing Economy: the Nature and Organization of Sharing in the 2015 Refugee Crisis

Online only https://doi.org/10.5465/amd.2016.0138 RETHINKING THE SHARING ECONOMY: THE NATURE AND ORGANIZATION OF SHARING IN THE 2015 REFUGEE CRISIS MARTIN KORNBERGER1 EM Lyon Business School; University of Edinburgh Business School STEPHAN LEIXNERING WU Vienna University of Economics and Business RENATE E. MEYER WU Vienna University of Economics and Business; CBS Copenhagen Business School; UNSW Sydney Business School MARKUS A. HOLLERER¨ WU Vienna University of Economics and Business; UNSW Business School Our article focuses on a non-standard sharing example that harbors the potential to disrupt received wisdom on the sharing economy. Although, originally, entering the field to analyze, broadly from a governance perspective, how the 2015 refugee crisis was handled in Vienna, Austria, we found that the non-governmental organization Train of Hope—labeled as a ‘citizen start-up’ by the City of Vienna officials—played an out- standing role in mastering the crisis. In a blog post during his visit in Vienna at the time, and experiencing the refugee crisis first-hand, it was actually Henry Mintzberg who suggested reading the phenomenon as part of the ‘sharing economy’. Continuing this innovative line of thought, we argue that our unusual case is in fact an excellent op- portunity to discover important aspects about both the nature and organization of sharing. First, we uncover an additional dimension of sharing beyond the material sharing of resources (i.e., the economic dimension): the sharing of a distinct concern (i.e., the moral dimension of sharing).

  • The Compromise of Return: Viennese Jews After the Holocaust
    PRAISE FOR THE COMPROMISE OF RETURN “In an engaging, thoroughly researched study, Elizabeth Anthony reveals how and why Jewish returnees came back to ‘their’ city, Vienna, but not to Austria. They persisted in reclaiming their familial, professional, and polit- ical homes, as they compromised with ongoing individual and governmen- tal antisemitism, including the refusal to return their property. Elegantly written, Anthony’s book highlights the hardships and disappointments of Jewish survivors as they settled back ‘home.’” —Marion Kaplan, author of Hitler’s Jewish Refugees: Hope and Anxiety in Portugal “With The Compromise of Return Elizabeth Anthony brings history alive. She paints a vivid picture of the life of Jewish Austrians who chose to remain in or returned to Vienna after the fall of the Nazi regime. Through poignant personal interviews coupled with meticulous archival research and in conversation with international scholarship, the author convinc- ingly argues how their unique Jewish-Viennese identities allowed them to remain in an anti-Semitic society that presented itself as Hitler’s first vic- tim. The Compromise of Return, the first comprehensive English-language study on the topic, constitutes a major contribution to post-war Austrian and Holocaust histories.” —Jacqueline Vansant, author of Reclaiming Heimat: Trauma and Mourning in Memoirs by Jewish Austrian Reémigrés “Deeply researched and beautifully written, this book tells the poignant story of Jewish survivors’ return to Vienna, really for the first time. Brim- ming with insights, it gives voice to the returnees; it is they who stand at the core of this history.” —Dirk Rupnow, Institute for Contemporary History, University of Innsbruck The Compromise of Return THE COMPROMISE OF RETURN VIENNESE JEWS AFTER THE HOLOCAUST ELIZABETH ANTHONY WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS Detroit © 2021 by Elizabeth Anthony.

  • Federal Republic of Germany
    Federal Republic of Germany National Affairs ITOLITICAL LIFE DURING the latter half of 1995 and the first six months of 1996 was dominated by Chancellor Helmut Kohl's efforts to shore up the economy and to reduce the unemployment rate of over 9 percent (15 percent in the former East Germany). The first half of 1996 showed signs of slowly in- creasing economic activity, but unemployment was still the main problem. The government's proposed "Sparpaket" (savings package) was the focus of on- going controversy. The package that Kohl formally presented to the Bundestag on April 26, 1996, included cuts of DM 25 billion (roughly $15 billion) from the 1997 budget in social spending, notably in sick leave and unemployment bene- fits, in postponed increases in payments to families with children, and in salaries of public employees. The opposition Social Democrats' Oskar Lafontaine charged that the plan would undermine Germany's postwar consensus on social justice and offered a substitute plan to increase personal income taxes at the higher end of the social scale along with other tax measures. The period also saw significant episodes of white-collar crime involving some of the country's biggest industrial enterprises, culminating in the arrest of ten se- nior officers of the Ruhr coal-and-steel producer Thyssen AG. The ten were ac- cused of illegal financial transactions in connection with the liquidation of a for- mer East German metallurgical company. Top officers of other manufacturing giants, like Mannesmann AG, carmaker Daimler-Benz AG, factory-installation company Klockner-Humboldt-Deutz AG, and shipbuilder Bremer Vulkan Ver- bund AG, were under investigation.
