    PRZEGLĄD ZACHODNI I, 2017 AGNIESZKA KISZTELIŃSKA-WĘGRZYŃSKA Łódź FROM THE HISTORY OF POLISH-AUSTRIAN DIPLOMACY IN THE 1970S. AUSTRIAN CHANCELLOR BRUNO KREISKY’S VISITS TO POLAND Polish-Austrian relations after World War II developed in an atmosphere of mutu- al interest and restrained political support. During the Cold War, the Polish People’s Republic and the Republic of Austria were on the opposite sides of the Iron Curtain; however, after 1945 both countries sought mutual recognition and trade cooperation. For more than 10 years following the establishment of diplomatic relations between Austria and Poland, there had been no meetings at the highest level.1 The first con- tact took place when the then Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bruno Kreisky, came on a visit to Warsaw on 1-3 March 1960.2 Later on, Kreisky visited Poland four times as Chancellor of Austria: in June 1973, in late January/early February 1975, in Sep- tember 1976, and in November 1979. While discussing the significance of those five visits, it is worth reflecting on the role of Austria in the diplomatic activity of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). The views on the motives of the Austrian politician’s actions and on Austria’s foreign policy towards Poland come from the MFA archives from 1972-1980. The time period covered in this study matches the schedule of the Chancellor’s visits. The activity of the Polish diplomacy in the Communist period (1945-1989) has been addressed as a research topic in several publications on Polish history. How- ever, as Andrzej Paczkowski says in the sixth volume of Historia dyplomacji polskiej (A history of Polish diplomacy), research on this topic is still in its infancy.3 A wide range of source materials that need to be thoroughly reviewed offer a number of 1 Stosunki dyplomatyczne Polski, Informator, vol.

  • Israel As Seen by Karl Hartl, the First Austrian Diplomat in Tel Aviv (1950–55)
    QUEST N. 7 - FOCUS “He’ll become an antisemite here anyway.” Israel as Seen by Karl Hartl, the First Austrian Diplomat in Tel Aviv (1950–55) by Rolf Steininger Abstract The Austrian government recognized the state of Israel de facto on March 15, 1949. A year later Austria’s first diplomatic representative arrives in Tel Aviv: Consul First Class Karl Hartl, born in 1909 in Vienna and married to Franziska Grünhut, a Jewish physician. He was a socialist and during the war had been active in the French resistance. In his reports he describes and analyzes nearly all aspects of the political, social, and economic life in Israel and the relations with Austria. The longer he is in Israel the sharper is his criticism of the young state, in his opinion an “artificial state,” which has a border “that sweats blood.” He is convinced that Israel has to be content with “what it really is – a small, very poor country. And only peace with the Arabs will lead to this meager halfway-secure existence.” With respect to the Arabs, Israel has reformulated the old law of the desert: “No longer a tooth for a tooth, but a whole set of teeth for a tooth.” By the time Hartl left Israel in 1955 he called himself an antisemite. - Introduction - Karl Hartl and the Consulate General - Israel and “the Israelis” - Relations between Austria and Israel - “The Victim Thesis” and Reparations - Conclusion ____________________ Introduction On May 18, 1948, four days after the founding of Israel, the Austrian legation in Cairo reported about the reaction to the recognition of the new state by the United States.

  • Wolfgang Mueller in the History of the Cold War and Détente, Reference Is
    PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE, NEUTRALITY, AND BILATERAL RELATIONS ACROSS THE IRON CURTAIN: INTRODUCTION Wolfgang Mueller In the history of the Cold War and détente, reference is seldom made to the international relations of the small states. If their fates in the Cold War are mentioned at all, they figure either as hot spots of East-West ten- sion, sometimes using their “leverage of the weak” to extract the most backing possible from their superpower patrons, or as passive objects of great-power policy. With regard to détente, their role has also not yet been comprehensively analyzed. Ostpolitik is usually attributed to only France and West Germany, while among the East European states’ initiatives, little other than the Rapacki and the Gomułka Plans are remembered. Special attention is given to the neutrals above all in the context of the CSCE. But if we want to better understand what role détente took in the European in- ternational system as a whole, however, more research must be undertaken about the foreign relations of Europe’s smaller members on both sides of the Iron Curtain.1 This volume undertakes the task of reassessing comparatively, on the basis of newly declassified sources from Western and formerly Eastern ar- chives,2 the preconditions and varying developments of bilateral relations across the Iron Curtain, between the USSR, Eastern Europe, and neutral but capitalist Austria, in the years of détente and the late Cold War. The first part of this volume provides the reader with information on Austria’s political system, its principles of foreign policy, its trade, and its culture.
