  • The Marshall Plan in Austria 69
    CAS XXV CONTEMPORARY AUSTRIANAUSTRIAN STUDIES STUDIES | VOLUME VOLUME 25 25 This volume celebrates the study of Austria in the twentieth century by historians, political scientists and social scientists produced in the previous twenty-four volumes of Contemporary Austrian Studies. One contributor from each of the previous volumes has been asked to update the state of scholarship in the field addressed in the respective volume. The title “Austrian Studies Today,” then, attempts to reflect the state of the art of historical and social science related Bischof, Karlhofer (Eds.) • Austrian Studies Today studies of Austria over the past century, without claiming to be comprehensive. The volume thus covers many important themes of Austrian contemporary history and politics since the collapse of the Habsburg Monarchy in 1918—from World War I and its legacies, to the rise of authoritarian regimes in the 1930s and 1940s, to the reconstruction of republican Austria after World War II, the years of Grand Coalition governments and the Kreisky era, all the way to Austria joining the European Union in 1995 and its impact on Austria’s international status and domestic politics.

  • Österreichs Wirtschaft Lenkt

Aber die wichtigste ist wohl: Pölzl besitzt ein hoch entwi- Gckeltes Gespür für den gezielten Einsatz von Macht. Im Juni 2005 führte Niederösterreichs Landeshauptmann Erwin Pröll die Handymastensteuer ein. Pölzl, damals Chef von T-Mobile, wollte das nicht schlucken. Von geschickten Be- ratern eingefädelt, fand im zwölften Stock eines Hoch- hauses am Donaukanal in Wien ein diskretes Treffen statt. Und wenig später erschien in Österreichs größter und ein- flussreichster Tageszeitung, der „Kronen Zeitung“, ein Ar- tikel mit der Überschrift: „Österreicher gegen Handymas- tensteuer“. Es sollte nicht die einzige Story mit diesem Tenor bleiben. Der Machtkampf war entschieden: Die Mobilfunker gelobten, ihre Masten in Zukunft gemeinsam zu nutzen, und Pröll trat den geordneten Rückzug an. Am 15. Dezem- ber 2005 wurde im niederösterreichischen Landtag die Handymastensteuer wieder abgeschafft. Obwohl der Post-Aufsichtsrat gerne ein Loblied auf sei- ne Unabhängigkeit singt: Pölzl würde nicht im Oktober als General eines der wichtigsten heimischen Konzerne antreten, hätten Verbündete nicht für ihn in der ÖVP Stimmung gemacht und hätte er nicht die guten Kontakte zu SPÖ-Kanzler Werner Faymann genützt – kurz ge- > EBOR D ICHEL- M EIDI H ICTUREDESK.COM, ICTUREDESK.COM, P ICHARD/WIRTSCHAFTSBLATT/ R TANZER CHOTT (2), CHOTT S AUSCH- R ICHAEL ICHAEL M MACHTJuli 2009 | trend 7 51 Defilee am roten Teppich bei den Salzburger Festspielen: Siemens-Österreich-Vorstands- vorsitzende Brigitte Ederer mit Salzburgs Landeshauptfrau Gabi Burgstaller und Festspiele-Präsiden- tin Helga Rabl-Stadler (v.

  • The Bulletin
    THE BULLETIN The Bulletin is a publication of the European Commission for Democracy through Law. It reports regularly on the case-law of constitutional courts and courts of equivalent jurisdiction in Europe, including the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Communities, as well as in certain other countries of the world. The Bulletin is published three times a year, each issue reporting the most important case-law during a four months period (volumes numbered 1 to 3). The last two volumes of the series concerning the same year are actually published and delivered in the following year, i.e. volume 1 of the 2002 Edition in 2002, volumes 2 and 3 in 2003. Its aim is to allow judges and constitutional law specialists to be informed quickly about the most important judgments in this field. The exchange of information and ideas among old and new democracies in the field of judge-made law is of vital importance. Such an exchange and such cooperation, it is hoped, will not only be of benefit to the newly established constitutional courts, but will also enrich the case-law of the existing courts. The main purpose of the Bulletin on Constitutional Case-law is to foster such an exchange and to assist national judges in solving critical questions of law which often arise simultaneously in different countries. The Commission is grateful to liaison officers of constitutional and other equivalent courts, who regularly prepare the contributions reproduced in this publication. As such, the summaries of decisions and opinions published in the Bulletin do not constitute an official record of court decisions and should not be considered as offering or purporting to offer an authoritative interpretation of the law.

  • Pavel Holländer
    Pavel Holländer From the principle of subsidiarity to Joseph Haydn Ladies and Gentlemen, Please accept above all my apologies for my audacity, or arrogance (not being a specialist or expert on European law, nor even an internationalist or an expert on international law) in coming before you with thoughts on the principle of subsidiarity in European law. Besides that, I can not let my other handicap go without mention: however filled with satisfaction at the formation of a new Europe in the previous 50 years and however joyful at Central European nations being able to participate in this process since 1989, in confrontation with the language, intelligibility and competence of clear and foreseeable interpretation and application of European law, I feel that classical legal knowledge and education (focussed on logic, philosophy and political science), as well as many years of judicial practice represent to me more of a burden than an advantage. The principle of subsidiarity is one of the classifying principles of the system of jurisdictional relations and ties between the European Union and its members. In my opinion this can not be considered without taking at least a general, basis consensus in the matter of its political-science comprehension. The legal basis of the European Union is its primary legislation, which is contractual law comprising the basic EU constitutional treaties concluded by EU Member States (to which the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties from 1987, No. 15/1988 Coll., applies). It can be said of secondary European

  • Federalism and Recent Political Dynamics in Austria
    Federalism and Recent Political Dynamics in Austria Peter Bussjäger Professor at the Institute of Public Law, State and Administrative Science at the University of Innsbruck, and Director of the Institute of Federalism in Innsbruck Christoph Schramek Research associate (post doc) at the Institute of Federalism in Innsbruck Mirella M. Johler Project assistant at the Institute of Public Law, State and Administrative Science at the University of Innsbruck and the Liechtenstein Institute abstract From a comparative perspective, the Austrian Federal Constitution appears rather centralized, given that the majority of legislative competences are allocated at the federal level. However, a closer look indicates that the Länder (the federal units) gain con- siderable political weight by serving as the administrative centre of gravity; namely, the Länder execute their own laws and most of the laws based on the federation’s subject-matters. Hence, one might speak of “administrative federalism”. History shows that Austrian poli- tics resemble a tug-of-war over the federal division of (legislative) competences. The newly elected coalition government’s program joins the ranks of long-winded discussions on how to make Austrian federalism more efficient. Even if pro-federal by rhetoric, the actual content of the government program is either conceptually ambivalent or substantially in favour of increased (legislative) centralization, especially in the realm of social and educational policy. keywords Administrative Federalism; Austria; Coalition Government; Distribution of Competences; Education; Federal Constitution; Federalism; Federation; Government Program; Parliament; Reform; Government Program; Social Policy.
