  • The Empire in the Provinces: the Case of Carinthia
    religions Article The Empire in the Provinces: The Case of Carinthia Helmut Konrad Institut für Geschichte, Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, Attemsgasse 8/II, [505] 8010 Graz, Austria; [email protected] Academic Editors: Malachi Hacohen and Peter Iver Kaufman Received: 16 May 2016; Accepted: 1 August 2016; Published: 5 August 2016 Abstract: This article examines the legacy of the Habsburg Monarchy in the First Austrian Republic, both in the capital, Vienna, and in the province of Carinthia. It concludes that Social Democracy, often cited as one of the six ingredients that held the old Empire together, took on distinct forms in the Republic’s different federal states. The scholarly literature on the post-1918 “heritage” of the Monarchy therefore needs to move beyond monolithic generalizations and toward regionally focused comparative studies. Keywords: empire; socialism; Jews; Habsburg Monarchy; Austria; Vienna; Carinthia; German Nationalism; Sprachenkampf 1. Introduction Which forms did the ideas take that allowed the Habsburg monarchy to persist, despite the diversity of nationalisms present in the small Republic of German-Austria, for so long after the end of the First World War? What was the “glue” that held this multiethnic empire together, when its collapse had been predicted since 1848, and which of its elements continued to exist beyond 1918? How was this heritage expressed in the different regions of the new republic? At least six factors can be identified as ingredients of the “glue” that held the monarchy together: first, the Emperor, a figure who symbolized the fusion of the complex linguistic, ethnic and religious components of the Habsburg state; second, the administrative officials, who were loyal to the Emperor and worked in the ubiquitous and even architecturally similar buildings of the Monarchy’s district authorities and train stations; third, the army, whose members promoted the imperial ideals through their long terms of service and acknowledged linguistic diversity.

The balance of power between the various parties remained virtually unchanged, enabling the coalition government headed by the FBP to continue its work. While the difficult work of the past four years, which involved necessary cuts, was not universally well-received, it was however accepted in overall terms. Nevertheless, we safely pi- loted our ship of state through a challenging period, and this was recognised by voters when they confirmed the parliamentary majorities. The new legislative period will be marked by an im- portant anniversary. The Principality of Liechtenstein will be celebrating its 300th anniversary in 2019.

    SALES DOCUMENTS THE DRAURADWEG LIMITLESS CYCLING ENJOYMENT The Drauradweg cycle path is East Tyrol and Carinthia’s main vein in the cycle network. Cyclists can follow the River Drau for over 366 km. The source of the Drau and thus the starting point of the cycle path lies in neighbouring Italy. The source is located on the Toblacher Feld in the Italian Puster Valley. Just a few kilometres further on it crosses the Austrian border and winds its way through East Tyrol and Carinthia to Slovenia (Maribor). As a cyclist, you can follow the Drau nearly all the way to its estuary on the Black Sea, even though the cycle infrastructure is still work-in-progress in neighbouring Slovenia and Croatia. FACTS ABOUT THE DRAURADWEG Continuous signposting (in Carinthia designation R1) Runs mainly directly along the riverbank of the Drau Well-developed cycle paths (asphalt, sand or gravel surface) In Italy and Carinthia suitable for families and leisure cyclists Perfectly suitable for trekking bikes or eBikes The most beautiful Carinthian bathing lakes near the cycle path Many places of interest near the cycle path (also included with the Kärnten Card) Good infrastructure in all partner establishments near the cycle path In Slovenia mountain bikes recommended (poorer infrastructure than in Carinthia) FACTS DRAURADWEG WIRTE WHERE QUALITY IS PARAMOUNT The Drauradweg Wirte (Drau cycle path inns) have been pedalling in the same direction since March 2007.

  • Burgenland-Roma
    Data » Ethnology and Groups » Roma in Austria » Burgenland-Roma http://romani.uni-graz.at/rombase Burgenland-Roma Romani-Project The Roma residing in present Burgenland, which is the furthest east of the nine Austrian federal states, and borders with Hungary, belong to the group whose members are called Ungrian Roma, → Ungrika-Roma or Romungri in older literature. This group living in the western region of Hungarian influence, ranging from southern Slovakia to northern Slovenia, are characterised by their long-term settlement and, consequently, by a strong Hungarian influence in their culture. History At the end of the 14th century, Roma are first mentioned in western Hungary, to which today’s Burgenland belonged at that time. From the beginning of the 15th century, larger Roma groups started entering the Pannonic border area of western Hungary. Most likely due to the fact that they served in the war as soldiers and blacksmiths, the Roma were at first tolerated and to a certain extent even supported by some of the Hungarian nobility. This favourable condition lead to the first settlements: in the second half of the 17th century, there is documentary evidence of the founding of villages under Christoph Batthyány. In contrast to the liberal Battyány, who controlled southern Burgenland, the Esterházy of northern Burgenland expelled the Roma from their area of influence. This contrast characterises the situation of the Roma at that time as one situated somewhere between acceptance and discrimination. After the end of the Osmanic Reign in 1688, the situation of the Roma living in western Hungary changed. The law was laid down that they were to be banned from the country.

  • Austria's Ongoing Legal Struggle in the Fight Against the Pandemic
    Austria’s Ongoing Legal Struggle in the Fight Against the Pandemic verfassungsblog.de/no-benefit-of-hindsight/ December 3, 2020 Susanne Gstöttner Konrad Lachmayer 03 December 2020 No Benefit of Hindsight Austria is currently in the midst of a second hard lockdown. This move came after a somewhat carefree summertime that ended rather chaotic. Since then, the government has reacted late, the public was informed at short notice, coordination of the administration was poor and the enacted legislation and enforcement of measures are constitutionally problematic. Croatian Summertime In May 2020, the Austrian government started to reduce the lock-down measures from March 2020 step by step. It appears that in June people were under the impression that the Coronavirus did not have the same relevance anymore, that COVID-19 was defeated. The overall daily infection rate typically ranged between 20 and 70 persons. By mid-June the obligation to wear face masks was abandoned and restrictions in restaurants were significantly reduced. Normal life appeared possible again, which included summer holidays – not only in Austria but especially in Southern European countries like Spain, Italy, Greece, and Croatia. While infection numbers in Spain increased significantly already in July, holidays in Croatia still seemed possible in August. The daily infection numbers, however, started increasing considerably in Croatia as well as in Greece and Italy in the second half of August. During the idyllic summertime, the Austrian government issued a travel warning for Croatia in mid-August 2020. This caused many people to rush back to Austria within one week. All tourists coming back had to provide a negative PCR test at the Austrian border or were quarantined for a period of 10 days or until they were tested negative.

  • Chapter 8 the Interface Between Subnational and National Levels Of
    8. THE INTERFACE BETWEEN SUBNATIONAL AND NATIONAL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT – 143 Chapter 8 The interface between subnational and national levels of government Multilevel regulatory governance – that is to say, taking into account the rule-making and rule-enforcement activities of all the different levels of government, not just the national level – is another core element of effective regulatory management. The OECD’s 2005 Guiding Principles for Regulatory Quality and Performance “encourage Better Regulation at all levels of government, improved co-ordination, and the avoidance of overlapping responsibilities among regulatory authorities and levels of government”. It is relevant to all countries that are seeking to improve their regulatory management, whether they are federations, unitary states or somewhere in between. In many countries local governments are entrusted with a large number of complex tasks, covering important parts of the welfare system and public services such as social services, health care and education, as well as housing, planning and building issues, and environmental protection. Licensing can be a key activity at this level. These issues have a direct impact on the welfare of businesses and citizens. Local governments within the boundaries of a state need increasing flexibility to meet economic, social and environmental goals in their particular geographical and cultural setting. At the same time, they may be taking on a growing responsibility for the implementation of EC regulations. All of this requires a pro active consideration of: • The allocation/sharing of regulatory responsibilities at the different levels of government (which can be primary rule-making responsibilities; secondary rule-making responsibilities based on primary legislation, or the transposition of EC regulations; responsibilities for supervision/enforcement of national or subnational regulations; or responsibilities for service delivery).

  • Political Rituals and Discourses: the Case of Carinthia
    doi:10.7592/FEJF2015.60.fikfak POLITICAL RITUALS AND DISCOURSES: THE CASE OF CARINTHIA Jurij Fikfak Abstract: This article discusses selected ritual practices in Klagenfurt (Sln. Celovec), the capital of the southernmost Austrian state of Carinthia (Germ. Kärnten). The first ritual is connected with October 10, when the 1920 plebiscite is commemorated on the streets of Klagenfurt. In this plebiscite, the majority of people voted for remaining a part of Austria, the successor state to Austria-Hun- gary. The second ritual is a more recent one, known as the Memorial Walk (Germ. Gedenkgehen, Sln. Spominska hoja). Various cultural practices are analysed, as well as the use of symbols and space, media, state, and national discourses. Keywords: alternative practice, memorial walk, Nazism, plebiscite, ritual prac- tices, use of discourse Political rituals are practices set in concrete chronotopes. They express and materialise a sense of belonging, the formation of identities, and the establishment of local, regional, ethnic, national, or state entities. They also represent an area of social cohesion, self-identification, the marking of social affiliation and the exclusion of the Other. Political rituals are unavoidable in social integration (Lukes 1975), socialisation of hierarchies, relations, and the use of power. They are used repeatedly, year after year, to define, embody, and materialise ethnic, language, and other barriers which do not allow a single person, socialised in any community, to remain unaffected or undecided. As Steven Lukes has put it, political rituals mobilise bias, but they also raise questions about the relationships between different discourses, for example, between the official political discourse of the ruling parties, media discourses, the so-called common sense discourse, and the subcultural discourse present mainly among various extremist groups.
