Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Advisor: Dr. Christopher Browning Reader: Dr. Konrad Jarausch Reader: Dr. Lloyd Kramer Reader: Dr. Michael Hunt Reader: Dr. Terence McIntosh ©2007 Kevin Mason ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kevin Mason: Building an Unwanted Nation: The Anglo-American Partnership and Austrian Proponents of a Separate Nationhood, 1918-1934 (Under the direction of Dr. Christopher Browning) This project focuses on American and British economic, diplomatic, and cultural ties with Austria, and particularly with internal proponents of Austrian independence. Primarily through loans to build up the economy and diplomatic pressure, the United States and Great Britain helped to maintain an independent Austrian state and prevent an Anschluss or union with Germany from 1918 to 1934. In addition, this study examines the minority of Austrians who opposed an Anschluss . The three main groups of Austrians that supported independence were the Christian Social Party, monarchists, and some industries and industrialists. These Austrian nationalists cooperated with the Americans and British in sustaining an unwilling Austrian nation. Ultimately, the global depression weakened American and British capacity to practice dollar and pound diplomacy, and the popular appeal of Hitler combined with Nazi Germany’s aggression led to the realization of the Anschluss .

By 1922, the First Austrian Republic (1918-1938) was experiencing enormous problems, including hyperinflation. Little confidence existed that the country could survive as a unified and independent entity. In this context, the Economic and Financial Organisation (EFO) of the League designed a financial reconstruction scheme for Austria. The scheme was the first such project carried out by an international institution and this thesis explores its genesis, attributes and impacts. This thesis argues that this programme came into existence less, as is sometimes argued, because of the work of idealistic internationalists at the League of Nations, and more because the governments, diplomats and officials of certain powers, particularly France, but also Britain and others, wished to see Austria survive because they regarded its continued existence to be an important part of upholding post-war European order, and furthering their interests and diplomatic strategies.

  • Viennese Planning Culture: Understanding Change and Continuity Through the Hauptbahnhof
    VIENNESE PLANNING CULTURE: UNDERSTANDING CHANGE AND CONTINUITY THROUGH THE HAUPTBAHNHOF by VERONICA RAFFAELA SOPHIE REISS B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2014 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN PLANNING in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (PLANNING) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (VANCOUVER) AUGUST, 2017 © Veronica Raffaela Sophie Reiss, 2017 Abstract Today, cities across the globe face a multitude of similar challenges – climate change, new disruptive technologies, new conceptions of both labour and capital, and mass migration, among others; simultaneously, planning scholars are continually acknowledging the diversity of both the conception and practice of planning around the world. As such, the concept of planning cultures has grown in recognition and importance. While the literature around planning cultures grows, few area specific studies have been completed. This thesis seeks to contribute to the understanding of the planning culture of Vienna, Austria, through an exploration of the history of urban planning in Vienna and through a contemporary case study of the planning of the Vienna Hauptbahnhof project, the recently completed central train station. This thesis seeks to expand the understanding of planning processes, practices, and outcomes in Vienna, a city world renowned for its affordable and social housing, as well as for its high quality of life. ii Lay Summary This thesis seeks to expand the understanding of spatial planning processes, practices, and outcomes in Vienna, Austria, a city world renowned for its affordable and social housing, as well as for its high quality of life. This is done through an exploration of the history of urban planning in Vienna and through a case study of the planning process of the recently completed Vienna central train station.

  • Krzysztof Rybinski
    Krzysztof Rybiński: Easier, faster and more economical! Things we have never done before Address by Mr Krzysztof Rybiński, Vice-President of the National Bank of Poland, at the Congress of e-Economy, Warsaw, 21 March 2006. * * * Ladies and Gentlemen, The first Congress of e-Economy in Poland is held in the period where the enormous progress in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT), accompanied by a decline in transport costs and reduced commercial barriers, has resulted in a radical acceleration of the globalization process. Some of us go even further and define the process straightforwardly as the third industrial revolution1, creating the vision of remote medical services such as, for instance, x-ray pictures taken in the United States and interpreted by a physician in India or Australia. New technologies go beyond borders and reach further than the human imagination. Nearly half a million of Americans have their tax returns completed by tax consultants in India2 the voice coming from the microphone in some McDonald’s drivethroughs belongs to a person sitting a few thousand miles away, table bookings in certain restaurants are also made in this way. This phenomenon, called outsourcing and offshoring, has radically increased labour efficiency, improved the quality of products and services, and reduced prices. Even consumer satisfaction surveys in the United States are often conducted by call centres located in India. The progress in the ICT is also one of the main factors explaining why the American economy has developed at a far faster rate than the economy of the euro area in the past ten years.

  • Olicy Options for Competitiveness and Economic Development in the Western Balkans: the Case for Infrastructure Investment
    JUNE 2016 Policy Notes and Reports 16 Policy Options for Competitiveness and Economic Development in the Western Balkans: the Case for Infrastructure Investment Mario Holzner The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies Wiener Institut für Internationale Wirtschaftsvergleiche Policy Options for Competitiveness and Economic Development in the Western Balkans: the Case for Infrastructure Investment MARIO HOLZNER Mario Holzner is Deputy Director of the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw). Executive Summary › The Western Balkans are a region with a substantial economic catch-up potential. Compared to other European economies these countries are either poor or very poor. › Structural underdevelopment and low competitiveness impede the catch-up process. Mass unemployment and a huge trade deficit indicate heavy internal and external imbalances. › Short-run policy measures should focus on fiscal devaluation and NPL resolution to foster cost competitiveness and private investment. › A ‘Big Push’ in infrastructure investment is imperative for long-term prosperity. An investment volume of EUR 7.7 billion as envisaged in the ‘Berlin Process’ has the potential for an additional GNP growth impulse of about 1% p.a. and a positive employment effect of up to 200,000 people in the region. Keywords: Macroeconomic Policy, Investment, Infrastructure, Fiscal devaluation, Competitiveness, Western Balkans, Berlin Process JEL classification: E27, E60, F21, H54, O24 CONTENTS Introduction .................................................................................................................................................................

Furthermore, the support of financial elites was crucial in successfully launching the scheme, and representatives of these groups were centrally involved in the design and implementation of the programme via the EFO’s Financial Committee. The programme reflected their beliefs about the proper operation of finance and economics, and introduced to Austria orthodox financial measures that had a mixed, in many ways negative, effect on the Austrian economy and on Austrian prospects for stability.

  • AUSTRIA 2020: the Impact of Medium-Term Global Trends on the Austrian Economy
    FIW Research Reports 2009/10 FIW Research Reports 2009/10 N° 04 January 2010 Policy Note AUSTRIA 2020: The impact of medium-term global trends on the Austrian economy E. Christie, J. Francois, M. Holzner, S. Leitner, O. Pindyuk Abstract This study quantifies possible impacts of medium-term structural changes in the global economy on the Austrian economy. Emphasis is placed on the effects of continued medium term growth in emerging markets, especially in Asia and Latin America, on the structure of the Austrian economy. The issues here include the identification of price effects (due to increased demand for raw materials) that can be expected, as well as how these may impact the commodity composition of both exports and imports. Underlying global trends also involve both investment patterns and total factor productivity trends at a more regional level, also impacting on the Austrian economy. Finally, these structural changes at the global level also lead to changes in household incomes and the cost of living in Austria, impacting on patterns of inequality in Austria at the household level. The FIW Research Reports 2009/10 present the results of four thematic work packages ‘Microeconomic Analysis based on Firm-Level Data’, ‘Model Simulations for Trade Policy Analysis’, ‘Migration Issues’, and ‘Trade, Energy and Environment‘, that were commissioned by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Economics, Family and Youth (BMWFJ) within the framework of the ‘Research Centre International Economics” (FIW) in November 2008.
