But there are substantial regional differences within and between these countries with respect to available net income. According to GfK’s prognosis, Switzerland’s almost 8.5 million inhabitants have a total purchasing power of €356.9 billion in 2019 (excludes Liechten- stein). Austria’s approximately 8.8 million inhabitants have around €212.3 billion at their disposal in 2019, while Germany’s approximately 82.8 million inhabitants have €1,968.7 billion. Purchasing power is a measure of the nominal net income available to the population, including government subsidies such as unemployment assis- tance, child benefit and pension contributions. The population uses these funds for consumer purchases as well as expenditures related to accom- modation, recreation and savings.

  • START up INFORMATION City/Partnership Metropolitan Area
    START UP INFORMATION City/Partnership Metropolitan Area Styria – Graz & Surroundings Contact Dr. Bernd Gassler, Metropolitan Area Styria; [email protected] Project Urban – Rural Cooperation Cooperation Thematic Area Concrete Challenge Faced Mobility, Land use management The main challenges are to overcome the urban sprawl, to avoid sealing, to minimize emission and to promote sustainable and alternative mobility solutions. Because of demographic challenges (population decline in the periphery areas and population growth in the urban and suburban areas) the region must ensure appropriate measures. SHORT SUMARY OF THE CITY’S CONTEXT The functional, economic and demographic centre of Styria is known as its “metropolitan area” and is characterized by both urbanity and rural areas. It includes the City of Graz and the districts Graz-Surrounding & Voitsberg. With its 52 municipalities it covers about 1.900 km². Approximately 487.000 inhabitants live in the region, this leads to an average population density of 257 IN/km2 (City of Graz included). Regarding the single values in the two districts Voitsberg and Graz-Umgebung, the population density varies from 20 IN/km2 in very rural areas to 100 IN/km2 in peripheral-rural and 600 IN/km2 in (sub)-urban municipalities in the south of Graz. Beside the City of Graz there are two sub centres in the western part of the area: the cities Koeflach & Voitsberg. Referring to the geographical framework, the area is embedded in the south eastern alpine foothills, not far from the border between Austria and Slovenia. The northern and eastern transition zone of the city region of Graz is affected by a relatively abrupt switchover from urban to rural areas once from a topographic and twice from a functional point.

  • 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).

  • Industrial Clusters and Cluster Policies in Austrian Regions
    Cluster Policies – Cluster Development? Edited by Åge Mariussen. Stockholm 2001. (Nordregio Report 2001:2) Industrial Clusters and Cluster Policies in Austrian Regions by Franz Tödtling19 Conceptual Introduction The cluster concept has become highly popular in recent years, leading to considerable variation and even confusion regarding the understanding of the term. A recent OECD publication (1999a, 56) defines clusters as “networks of interdependent firms, knowledge-producing institutions, bridging institutions and customers, linked in a production chain which creates added value. The concept of cluster goes beyond that of firm networking, as it captures all forms of knowledge sharing and exchange .... and it also goes beyond traditional sectoral analysis”. There are vertical links between suppliers and customers, horizontal links between competitors, as well as links to various support organisations. Some of those relationships go beyond mere market transactions and can be considered as networks. Geographically, relevant parts of clusters may be concentrated in specific regions or countries, but often they reach beyond these borders and become linked into international or even global networks (e.g. through international firms, alliances and market links). Due to this insertion into the large-scale markets and networks, clusters are rather dynamic phenomena leading to various forms of global-local interaction. There are a variety of cluster approaches, both conceptually and methodologically (see e.g. OECD 1999b, Steiner 1998, Bergman and Feser 1999). In terms of levels of investigation we find them at the macro-, meso- and the micro levels, where usually different intentions and goals are followed. As far as methodology is concerned, we observe the use of input-output analysis, multivariate statistical techniques, graph and mapping techniques, surveys, as well as the use of more qualitative analysis based on interviews.

  • 1 Federalism, Sub-National Constitutionalism, and The
    Federalism, Sub-national Constitutionalism, and the Protection of Minorities Joseph Marko/Austria 1. – 3. The Austrian federal system is a combination of integration and devolution. After the break-down of the Habsburg monarchy after World War I the Austrian Republic was established on the territory of the former German speaking „crownlands“ as a unitary state by a decision of the Provisional National Assembly in October 1918. However, at the same time, the „Länder“, as the subnational units were then called, claimed legislative power on their territories. This was then acknowledged by the Provisional National Assembly in November 1918 and the provisional Länder Assemblies were legitimated as Länder parliaments. Moreover, most Länder declared their „accession“ to the newly created republic in order to demonstrate their original independent statehood and claim for autonomy. These events are interpreted in two different ways until the very day: Whereas the Viennese school of legal positivism is of the opinion that the federal system was created „top-down“ by devolution of the unitary state, the Innsbruck school advocates the conception that the Länder came together to create the federal state „bottom-up.“ With the adoption of the federal constitution in 1920, however, the dominant Viennese school of legal positivism of Hans Kelsen and Adolf Merkl enforced, based on their theory of a hierarchy of legal norms, the conception that all subnational powers are devolved from the federal constitution so that all constitutions of the nine Länder (Burgenland, Carinthia, Upper Austria, Lower Austria, Salzburg, Styria, the Tyrol, Vorarlberg and Vienna) are to be seen as mere delegated law.

  • Slovenia As an Outpost of Th~ Third Reich
    SLOVENIA AS AN OUTPOST OF TH~ THIRD REICH By HELGA HORIAK HARRIMAN 1\ Bachelor of Arts Wells College Aurora, New York 1952 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1969 STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY SEP 29 1969 SLOVENIA AS AN OUTPOST OF THE THIRD REICH Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College ii PREFACE This study is concerned primarily with the Nazi occupation of Northern Yugoslavia during 1941 and 1942. Hitler's plan for converting Slovenia into a germanized frontier zone of the Third Reich is assessed in the light of Slovene history, most particularly since 1918. The evidence for the Nazi resettlement program designed to achieve Hitler's goal came from manuscript documents, which were written largely by the SS officers in charge of population manipulation. I wish to express appreciation to members of my advisory committee t from the Department of History at Oklahoma State University who gave helpful criticism in the preparation of the text. Professor Douglas Hale served as committee chairman and offered valuable advice concern- ing the study from its inception to its conclusion. Professor George Jewsbury imparted to its development his own keen understanding of Eastern Europe. To Professors John Sylvester and Charles Dollar, who read the study in its final form, I am also indebted. In addition, I wish to thank my father, Dr. E. A. V. Horiak, for his insightful comments. Dr. Joseph Suhadolc of the Department of For- eign Languages at Northern Illinois University gave freely of his time in reviewing the text.

    Memorandum by the Gauleiter of Styria (Austria) regarding the solution of the ‘’Gypsy Question’’, submitted 1939, Berlin Cable address: Gou Gras Graz, Lanhaus, Herrengasse, Deputy Gauleiter Graz, 9 January 1938 Reich Minister Dr. Lamers, Berlin W 8 Dear Reich Minister, In the enclosure I beg to submit to you my nowly edited thesis on the Gypsy problem. Heil Hitler, (Signature) Portschy Deputy Gauleiter Enclosure The Solution of the Gypsy problem. How urgent it is, to solve the Gypsy problem, is obvious from all these considerations. Up to date, it was possible to hear various opinions as to what that solution, should be like. They are to be quoted in detail here because they show, in how blind and corrupt a manner the matter was tacked by the politicians of the System. 1) The Gypsies are to be absorbed into the entire German nation. They should become assimilated. They only number 8.000 in the Burgenland, and could easily be absorbed by the German people, without any harm to the latter. This opinion sees above all that the approx. 8.400 settled Gypsies in the Burgenland are not the only ones, and that thousands of their race are wandering about the entire territory of the Reich. It is true that today in the face of the awakening of racial consciousness in our German people, this view is only being defended by unscrupulous scoundrels, who do not want to recognize the importance of the purity of the blood. This is the Liberalistic “solution” which is founded on belief in the oneness of humanity and assumes __________________________________________________________________________ 1/6 Shoah Resource Center, The International School for Holocaust Studies hostility towards every race-conscious people.
