    east central europe 42 (2015) 216-248 brill.com/eceu The Rise and Limits of Participation The Political Representation of Galicia’s Urban Jewry from the Josephine Era to the 1914 Electoral Reform Börries Kuzmany Austrian Academy of Sciences [email protected] Abstract This article provides an overview of the political representation and integration of Galician Jews on the municipal, provincial, and central state level under Austrian rule. It demonstrates that political representation on the latter two levels started only after the revolution of 1848 and was rather modest considering the numeric and economic weight Jews enjoyed in Galicia. Even though representation in municipal councils started earlier, the position of Jews depended very much on local circumstances. After the turn of the century, the widening of the electorate to the lower classes led to a broader Jewish representation and participation not only in terms of numbers but also within the political spectrum. This is particularly true for the paper’s second part. In this section, the text explores the reform of the electoral system for Galicia’s provincial parliament and the attitude of Jewish politicians towards the compromise eventually found in 1914. The article argues that among Jews the positive or negative assessment of the new voting system depended largely on their position in the larger antagonism between Jewish nation- alists and assimilationists. The former complained that the entire reform was on the backs of the Jews ignoring their numeric strength and their national rights. Assimilationists, on the other hand, were satisfied that, against all counter- claims of Zionists and Anti-Semites, the compromise legally established that Jews were Poles.

ISBN: 9780241309063 (hardback, £25.00); 9780141986333 (paperback, October 2020, £10.99). Essay by Nicholas Mulder, Cornell University Published 2 April 2020 | issforum.org Editor: Diane Labrosse Production Editor: George Fujii https://issforum.org/essays/51-przemysl The centenary of World War I has been a significant stimulus to new research about that conflict. Like any historical era, the meaning and consequences of the war have been reinterpreted in light of our own twenty-first century concerns. The perception that in recent years the world has witnessed a ‘return to geopolitics,’ ending the relative calm of the post-Cold War period, has made the tensions that produced the Great War appear freshly relevant. It has also refocused attention on the early twentieth-century roots of present-day conflicts. In this new international environment, U.S.-China rivalry begins to look similar to Anglo-German competition in the years before 1914, and the 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement and the treaties of Brest-Litovsk (1918) and Versailles (1919) seem to contain clues about contemporary conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Amidst the welter of new research, Alexander Watson’sThe Fortress stands out as a singularly original study of how the war shaped East-Central Europe. Watson’s book reconstructs a forgotten chapter in the history of the war: the siege of the Galician fortress city of Przemyśl (also known as Premissel in German and Peremyshl in Ukrainian) between September 1914 and March 1915.

Jednak dokładne prześledzenie literatury zagadnienia wykazuje, jak bardzo nierównomiernie rozłożyły się dotych­ czasowe zainteresowania historyków zajmujących się tą problematyką i jak wiele jej aspektów pozostało nie zbadanych. Sama postać generała Sikorskiego skupiła na sobie uwagę wielu bada­ czy, czego wynikiem są przede wszystkim biografie polityczne generała pióra Mariana Kukiela, Walentyny Korpalskiej, Romana Wapińskiego czy Olgierda Terleckiego,1 ale również inne opracowania, dotyczące działalno­ ści rządu polskiego, wysuwające na plan pierwszy postać premiera. Stosunkowo najwięcej prac, wykazanych w bibliografii, ukazało się dotychczas na temat polityki zagranicznej rządu polskiego. Ich autorzy skon­ centrowali uwagę przede wszystkim na stosunkach Polski z wielkimi mo­ carstwami, zwłaszcza ze Związkiem Socjalistycznych Republik Radziec­ kich, co jest wytłumaczone rangą tematu.

  • The Disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Army in 1918
    https://doi.org/10.15633/fhc.3601 Michał Baczkowski Jagiellonian University in Kraków The Disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Army in 1918 Practically from the moment of the dual state’s establishment, the problem of integrity and loyalty of the armies of the Habsburg Monarchy in the event of a war on a European-scale or a profound internal crisis gave sleepless nights to Austro-Hungarian generals. Essentially, such fears were quite unfound- ed at the time, and based on fairly naïve beliefs about the potential enmity of multiple ethnic groups towards the multinational monarchy. The mostly German-speaking generals found it disturbing that the armed forces had lost their predominantly ethnic German make-up, failing to become a national army as in France or Germany. The territorial system of drafting recruits and dislocating their own armies raised concerns and some perceived a threat of the army being broken down into ethnic, “national” Hungarian, Czech, Cro- atian, and Polish formations, which could lead to its internal disintegration. It must be mentioned here that independent attempts were made among the recruits to introduce their own national languages as the language of com- mand. The problem concerned primarily Czechs, and to a lesser degree also the Hungarians, Poles, and Ruthenians. In the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen, this gained a political momentum and was promoted by the local opposition gathered around Ferenc Kossuth. Emperor Franz Joseph I final- ly made a decision, and in the army order issued on 16 September 1903 in Chłopy, he categorically opposed the attempts of nationalisation of individual constituents of the army beyond the framework agreed during the Austro- -Hungarian Compromise in 1867 and in the military act of 1868.1 1.
