This database is growing – slowly, but steadily. Appro- ximately twice a year experts from all partner regions meet to discuss the further extension of this database. CentropeSTATISTICS Partners For various reasons, the extension of the cross-border database is not an easy task: All incoming datasets have to be checked on their com- patibility and comparability with existing data. This is ex- tremely important for statistical data because it has to be verified that datasets from different countries were collected in the same way before they are put together in one table.

  • On Burgenland Croatian Isoglosses Peter
    Dutch Contributions to the Fourteenth International Congress of Slavists, Ohrid: Linguistics (SSGL 34), Amsterdam – New York, Rodopi, 293-331. ON BURGENLAND CROATIAN ISOGLOSSES PETER HOUTZAGERS 1. Introduction Among the Croatian dialects spoken in the Austrian province of Burgenland and the adjoining areas1 all three main dialect groups of central South Slavic2 are represented. However, the dialects have a considerable number of characteris- tics in common.3 The usual explanation for this is (1) the fact that they have been neighbours from the 16th century, when the Ot- toman invasions caused mass migrations from Croatia, Slavonia and Bos- nia; (2) the assumption that at least most of them were already neighbours before that. Ad (1) Map 14 shows the present-day and past situation in the Burgenland. The different varieties of Burgenland Croatian (henceforth “BC groups”) that are spoken nowadays and from which linguistic material is available each have their own icon. 5 1 For the sake of brevity the term “Burgenland” in this paper will include the adjoining areas inside and outside Austria where speakers of Croatian dialects can or could be found: the prov- ince of Niederösterreich, the region around Bratislava in Slovakia, a small area in the south of Moravia (Czech Republic), the Hungarian side of the Austrian-Hungarian border and an area somewhat deeper into Hungary east of Sopron and between Bratislava and Gyǡr. As can be seen from Map 1, many locations are very far from the Burgenland in the administrative sense. 2 With this term I refer to the dialect continuum formerly known as “Serbo-Croatian”.

  • Competition and Cooperation of the Cities: Vienna-Bratislava Metropolitan Region
    Technical University of Košice, Faculty of Economics 2nd Central European Conference in Regional Science – CERS, 2007 – 354 – ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Competition and Cooperation of the Cities: Vienna-Bratislava Metropolitan Region MATEJ JAŠŠO Department of Spatial Planning, Faculty of Architecture, Slovak University of Technology Nám. Slobody 19, 812 45 Bratislava Slovakia [email protected] Abstract Transformation and restructuring of European cities and regions has been confirmed as one of the key topics of social and economic discourse of the recent years. Integration on the European level is an important process which yields to a common market. Accordingly, the pressure of competition does not only increase for private enterprises but even for cities and regions as a whole. Struggling for competitive advantages of the particular city or region has been getting more and more significant in their developmental strategies and policies. Regions and cities are successively forced to compete for foreign investments in economic, cultural or tourism fields in which all the relevant actors are highly mobile and sensitive to the standards of location factors on the urban-regional level. Vienna- Bratislava region is situated in one of the principal cross-points in Europe and is an integral part of numerous sectoral networks. It is a place, where both the problems as well as the opportunities after the removal of iron curtain had been appeared in utmost visible way, representing two interlinked trends and their beneficial effects on the development and growth in unified Europe: the lowering of the importance of national barriers with the forthcoming integration of national, regional and local economies, and on the other hand the emergence of new development poles in the form of functional regions that cut across administrative borders.

Introduction The objectives of central banks within the framework of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB) are well defined and aligned to the assignment of the European Central Bank (ECB). Every central bank has to adjust its activities due to its specific environment which is determined and influenced by the size and vitality of the economy as well as by the competitive position and structure of the financial market. Of course, structural shifts have an impact on the decision making processes in central banks. The Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) has been facing four major shifts of its political and economic environment within the last decade. In 1995 Austria joined the European Union, in 1999 Austria was a founding member state of the European Monetary Union, in 2002 the euro cash was introduced and in 2004 the enlargement of the European Union by ten countries (four of them having a common border with Austria) took place. All of these historical events represented an important challenge for the OeNB, and in all four cases the OeNB adjusted to the new framework by: • focusing on the economic analysis of Central and Eastern European countries, • successfully introducing the euro cash, • setting a new focus on the analysis of Southeastern European countries, • providing technical assistance in euro changeover matters especially to neighboring countries (for example: twinning projects with Hungary and Slovakia) and • providing technical assistance in all areas to Central, Eastern and Southeastern European countries as well as CIS countries.

  • Demologos Case Study Centrope
    Institut für Regional- und Umweltwirtschaft Institute of Regional Development and Environment Andreas Novy, Lukas Lengauer, Daniela Coimbra de Souza Vienna in an emerging trans-border region: Socioeconomic development in Central Europe SRE-Discussion 2008/08 2008 Vienna in an emerging trans-border region: Socioeconomic development in Central Europe NOVY, Andreas1 LENGAUER, Lukas1 COIMBRA DE SOUZA, Daniela1 Abstract: Drawing upon a periodisation of socio-economic development based on the regulation approach, the paper conducts a historical spatial development analysis of Vienna in its broader territory and multi-level perspective. The National context and the East-West cleavages mark the geography of the study. This periodisation is the basis to understand the strategies of Vienna in changing territorialities, the social forces and discourses that are reflected in the present context of Europeanisation, internationalisation and integration of border regions. A critical institutionalist approach is used to analyse the hegemonic liberal and populist discourses and strategies. The lessons taken in this section build the path to outline windows of opportunity for progressive politics, which are sketch out in the last section of the article. The ideas exposed in the paper are partial results of broader research carried out in the frame of DEMOLOGOS, an EU financed project.

  • The Future of the Protestant Church: Estimates for Austria and for the Provinces of Burgenland, Carinthia and Vienna
    WWW.OEAW.AC.AT VIENNA INSTITUTE OF DEMOGRAPHY WORKING PAPERS 02/2020 THE FUTURE OF THE PROTESTANT CHURCH: ESTIMATES FOR AUSTRIA AND FOR THE PROVINCES OF BURGENLAND, CARINTHIA AND VIENNA ANNE GOUJON AND CLAUDIA REITER DEMOGRAPHY OF INSTITUTE Vienna Institute of Demography Austrian Academy of Sciences VIENNA – Vordere Zollamtsstraße 3| 1030 Vienna, Austria [email protected] | www.oeaw.ac.at/vid VID Abstract Secularization and migration have substantially affected the place of the Protestant Church in the Austrian society in the last decades. The number of members has been shrinking markedly from 447 thousand members in 1971 to 278 thousand in 2018. The trend is visible across all provinces, although the magnitude is stronger in Vienna where both disaffiliation and international migration are stronger: In the capital city, the Protestant population diminished from 126 thousand to 47 thousand over the 1971-2018 period. Using population projections of membership to the Protestant Church, we look at the potential future of affiliation to the Protestant Church in Austria, and in three provinces: Burgenland, Carinthia, and Vienna from 2018 to 2048, considering different paths of fertility and disaffiliation. We also look at the impact of different scenarios regarding the composition of international migration flows on affiliation to the Protestant Church. Our findings suggest that in the absence of compensatory flows, the Protestant Church will keep shrinking unless it manages to stop disaffiliation. The projections also show that migrants, especially within mobile Europe, are a potential source of members that is at present not properly contributing to membership in Austria. According to the TREND EUROPE scenario, which is – seen from today – the most likely scenario with a continuation of declining entries and increased exits, the Protestant population in Austria would still decline from 283 thousand in 2018 to 144 thousand in 2048 (-49%).

Furthermore – also consistent with previous results – CENTROPE also in com- parison to other polycentric cross-border regions is a region which is highly attractive to FDI and whose comparative advan- tage primarily seems to be rooted in medium skills while the share of high skilled in the population is low in CENTROPE also relative to other polycentric cross-border regions. Although regional disparities in terms of per-capita GDP are high in CENTROPE, CENTROPE is not the polycentric cross-border region with the largest internal disparities, and relative to this com- parison group (and in contrast to a comparison with the EU average) the share of R&D expenditure in GDP has increased more than average in the last decade.

  • The Impact the Collapse of the Habsburg Monarchy by Michaela and Prof
    The impact the collapse of the Habsburg Monarchy By Michaela and Prof. Dr. Karl Vocelka (Article from: “Wine in Austria: The History”) The end of the First World War in 1918 produced profound consequences for Central Europe, affecting every sphere of activity within the region, ranging from high-level political decisions to the everyday lives of the inhabitants. The outcome of the ‘great seminal catastrophe of this (20th) century’ (George F. Kennan) had long-term consequences, which endure to the present day. The Second World War of 1939–1945, the Cold War that persisted in Europe until 1989, as well as the creation and expansion of the European Union are all inseparable from developments that occurred during and immediately after the Great War. A significant influence was also exerted – in an international context – on viticulture in Austria, which provides us with our current subject. This was brought about by a new world order of nation states, including the establishment of the Republic of German-Austria on 12 November 1918, on territory formerly ruled by the Habsburg Monarchy. Although the dissolution of the multinational Habsburg Empire had begun before the end of the war, a final line was not drawn until two peace agreements were concluded in the Parisian suburbs in 1919. The borders of the new Republic of Austria were set out in the Treaty of Saint- Germain-en-Laye on 10 September 1919.1 The country’s border with Hungary was established by the subsequent Treaty of Trianon in 1920.2 The victorious powers forbade the planned union with Germany and prohibited use of the name German-Austria.
