Many colleagues think this is a hidebound field. Young colleagues engage in cultural studies, the history of emotions, and continue to show great interest in social history and the history of minorities. Political history does not attract young scholars much either. Yet the need to assess a nation’s foreign relations persists. In the past quarter century we have moved from the Cold War to the Post-Cold War era in Austria, Europe and the world at large. Yet relatively little assessment is available what the change from the Cold War to the Post-Cold War era signaled for Austria’s position in the world. Austrian foreign policy went through sea changes. The country lost its exposed Cold War geopolitical location on the margins of Western Europe along the iron curtain. With the removal of the iron curtain Austria moved back into its central location in Europe and rebuilt her long-standing traditional relations with neighbors to the East and South. Austria joined the European Union in 1995 and thus further “Westernized.” Its policy of neutrality—so central to its foreign policy during the Cold War—largely eroded during the past quarter century, even though pro forma and reasons of identity, the country holds on to its neutral position. Austrian failed to join NATO and gained the reputation of a “security free rider.” From these basic post-1989 foreign policy reorientations many subsequent political, social and mental departures followed. As a result of the country’s opening to East and South, Austrian business and banking invested big time in the formerly communist Soviet satellites—since 1989 newly independent countries. Austrian businesses wreaked tremendous profits from helping to rebuild prosperity and thus “Westernizing” (not necessarily “Americanizing”) the region. Austria continued to act as a “cultural superpower” and established a whole host of highly visible cultural representations in Eastern and Southern Europe. While Austria’s relations with its traditional neighbors to the East and South and Western Europe flourished, and strong diplomatic representations were built in Asia and x China, relations with the United States wilted. In 2007 the Austrian Foreign Ministry was renamed Ministry of European and International Affairs, reflecting these new priorities in the world. Even the ancient locus of the center of foreign policy formulation has changed. Austrian diplomacy is no longer conducted from the Ballhausplatz but from Albertinaplatz and Herrengasse in Vienna’s first district. Austrian diplomats, building on an old and distinguished tradition, managed to be appointed to many important assignments as mediators, particularly in the post-Yugoslav conflict region in the Western Balkans, by the European Union and the international community. Also, the face of the Austrian foreign service changed dramatically; it is no longer a preserve of male dominance— women increasingly have seized the reins of power in Austrian diplomacy. In the past quarter century Austria distanced itself from its postwar politics of history of claiming to be a “victim of Hitlerite Germany.” Austrian governments concede now that many of their co-nationals had been perpetrators of war crimes during World War II and Austria took responsibility of paying restitution to those truly victimized during World War II. So, an assessment of Austria’s foreign relations and international position in the years since the end of the Cold War is needed. A core portion of the papers in this volume (Arnold Suppan, Erwin Schmidl, Hanspeter Neuhild, James, Sheehan, Norman Naimark) were first delivered in a conference organized by the “European Forum” at Stanford University and the University of Vienna in March 2009 (for the program see http://iis-db.stanford.edu/evnts/5377/Stanford-University_of_Vienna _Conference-March_5-6-2009-Conference_Schedule_-_FINAL.pdf). We would like to thank the Stanford European Forum’s Roland Hsu und Amir Eshel for the conference arrangements and Sean McIntyre for a first round of editing the Stanford papers. Wolfgang Mueller and Arnold Suppan were among the Austrian participants of the workshop and kind enough to suggest these papers be published in Contemporary Austrian Studies. While I was a guest scholar at Vienna’s Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen in June 2012, Mueller engaged me in mapping out a CAS volume built on the Stanford papers. At this point the rest of the authors were invited to contribute essays to flesh out the range of themes

  • The Yugoslav Peoples's Army: Between Civil War and Disintegration
    WARNING! The views expressed in FMSO publications and reports are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. The Yugoslav Peoples's Army: Between Civil War and Disintegration by Dr. Timothy L. Sanz Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth, KS. This article appeared originally in Military Review December 1991 Pages 36-45 August, a crisis in the Balkans, and a revolutionary upheaval in part of Europe--these words raise the hair on the back of the neck. Just a bit less than eighty years ago, Europe inaugurated this century of total war, thanks to the inability of its monarchs, statesmen, and generals to deal with a Balkan Crisis, the latest manifestation of what diplomats then called the "accursed Eastern Question." In the wake of that failure of statecraft, million-man armies marched into battle from one end of the continent to the other. Looking back on the long interval of peace which Europe has enjoyed since the end of the Second World War, the present crisis confirms the reality of a profound shift in the European security system and raises the question of whether the emerging security system in Europe will be able to deal with new Balkan crises. For several decades, while the military might of two ideologically-hostile blocs stood poised for action in Central Europe, a hypothetical internal crisis in Yugoslavia was often seen as an element in a scenario for bringing about a NATO-WTO military confrontation.

  • AV Austria Innsbruck
    AV Austria Innsbruck Home Die Austria Die Geschichte der AV Austria Innsbruck Austrier Blätter Folgend geben wir lediglich einen kurzen Überblick und Auszüge von unserer Verbindungsgeschichte: Programm Interesse? Die ersten Jahre Intern Unsere Verbindung wurde am 9. Juni 1864 von zwei Kontakt Philosophiestudenten, Franz Schedle und Johann Wolf, gegründet. Sie ist damit die älteste katholische Verbindung Österreichs und die "vierte" Verbindung, die dem damals noch Deutschland, Österreich und Tschechien umfassenden Cartellverband (CV) beitrat. Die Anfangsjahre waren von der liberalen und kirchenfeindlichen Denkweise vieler Professoren und Studenten an der Universität, speziell der schlagenden Corps, und daraus resultierenden Anfeindungen bis hin zu tätlichen Übergriffen geprägt. Ein gewaltiger Dorn im Auge war den bestehenden Corps vor allem die Ablehnung der Mensur, was zu vielen Provokationen und Ehrbeleidigungen führte. Ein in Couleurkreisen relativ bekannter Austrier beispielsweise, Josef Hinter, späterer Gründer der Carolina Graz, wurde wegen der Ablehnung eines Duells mit einem Schlagenden unehrenhaft aus der kaiserlichen Armee entlassen, und dies war kein Einzelfall. Dennoch gelang es der Austria, binnen sechs Jahren zur größten Verbindung Innsbrucks zu werden. Die Austria bildete 1866 etwa den dritten Zug der Akademischen Legion (Studentenkompanie) im Krieg gegen Italien. Zugsführer war der Gründer der Austria, Franz Xaver Schedle! Die Fahne der Studentenkompanie hängt heute in einem Schaukasten bei der Aula der Leopold-Franzens-Universität Innsbruck. In dieser Aula prangert übrigens auch an der Strinseite des Saales unser Wahlspruch! Damals wie heute lauteten die Prinzipien: RELIGIO, das Bekenntnis zur Römisch-Katholischen Kirche PATRIA, Heimatliebe und Bekenntnis zum Vaterland Österreich SCIENTIA, akademische und persönliche Weiterbildung AMICITIA, Brüderlichkeit und Freundschaft Mehr über unsere 4 Prinzipien erfährst Du unter "Prinzipien".

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • France and the Dissolution of Yugoslavia Christopher David Jones, MA, BA (Hons.)
    France and the Dissolution of Yugoslavia Christopher David Jones, MA, BA (Hons.) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of History August 2015 © “This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution.” Abstract This thesis examines French relations with Yugoslavia in the twentieth century and its response to the federal republic’s dissolution in the 1990s. In doing so it contributes to studies of post-Cold War international politics and international diplomacy during the Yugoslav Wars. It utilises a wide-range of source materials, including: archival documents, interviews, memoirs, newspaper articles and speeches. Many contemporary commentators on French policy towards Yugoslavia believed that the Mitterrand administration’s approach was anachronistic, based upon a fear of a resurgent and newly reunified Germany and an historical friendship with Serbia; this narrative has hitherto remained largely unchallenged. Whilst history did weigh heavily on Mitterrand’s perceptions of the conflicts in Yugoslavia, this thesis argues that France’s Yugoslav policy was more the logical outcome of longer-term trends in French and Mitterrandienne foreign policy. Furthermore, it reflected a determined effort by France to ensure that its long-established preferences for post-Cold War security were at the forefront of European and international politics; its strong position in all significant international multilateral institutions provided an important platform to do so.
