The University College of Teacher Education Lower Austria considers the participation in this programme an important contribution to the implementation of its own modernisation and internationalisation strategy and thus cooperates actively with European partner institutions in 30 countries of southern, central and northern Europe (Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, France, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Ireland, United Kingdom) in numerous projects, long-distance learning, as well as regular student and staff mobility.

  • Labor, War, and Revolution in a Habsburg Industrial District, 1906-1919
    CALAMITOUS METHODS OF COMPULSION: LABOR, WAR, AND REVOLUTION IN A HABSBURG INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT, 1906-1919 John Robertson A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the decree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Chad Bryant Konrad Jarausch Wayne Lee Louise McReynolds Donald Reid © 2014 John Robertson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT John Robertson: Calamitous Methods of Compulsion: Labor, War, and Revolution in a Habsburg Industrial District, 1906-1919 (Under the direction of Chad Bryant) This investigation re-centers violence in the domestic experience of the First World War in order to explain the collapse of the Habsburg Monarchy, arguing that the First World War revolutionized the experience of Habsburg governance in the Ostrava-Karviná industrial district. Before the outbreak of war, the state acted as judge and arbiter; afterwards it acted as tyrant, according to plans laid out before the war. The tyrannical character of war-time Habsburg governance as it sought to mobilize and coerce industrial labor hollowed out the state, as deprivation and violence drove desperation and resistance. Ultimately by the summer of 1918 the Habsburg state had become disposable, shattering Habsburg authority long before the formal end of Habsburg rule in the Bohemian lands. The end of the war and the dissolution of the Habsburg state opened up a moment of broad political and social possibilities, in which the ethno- nationalist and class politics suppressed by the war re-emerged as competing power centers. Though there were many claimants for legitimacy and loyalty in Ostrava-Karviná, the iron fist of the Czech Legion led to the establishment of a new multi-ethnic empire in Ostrava-Karviná - Czecho-Slovakia.
