SL 60 le t 7. člena 15. majnika 2015 bo 60 let od podpisa Dunajske državne pogodbe. Z Avstrijsko državno pogodbo (ADP) se ni le spet vzpostavila suverenost Republike Avstrije, za avstrijske narodne skupnosti, zlasti za koroške Slovence, Slovence na Štajerskem ter za gradiščanske Hrvate je ADP Velika listina narodnostnih pravic. Uresničitev 7. člena je potekala skrajno spremenljivo: od popolne ignorance na eni strani do poštenega prizadevanja na drugi, od nasilnega spora v »navalu na krajevne table« (1972; Ortstafelsturm) do dolge vrste razsodb Ustavnega sodišča (UstS), od trditev, da je 7. člen izpolnjen in celo več kakor izpolnjen, pa do nasprotnih ugo - tovitev, da nobena točka ni popolnoma uresničena. Dosti je vzrokov, da 60 let po podpisu ADP predstavimo z vidika narodne skupnosti analizo ter sodoben zasnutek interpretacije tega osrednjega določila avstrijske zaščite narodnih skupnosti. 5 60 LeT 7. ČLenA O nastanku 7. člena Besedilo 7. člena se v glavnem opira na predloga že iz leta 1947; o njem se pozneje niso več intenzivno pogajali. Bila sta dva nasprotna predloga: britanski predlog, po katerem bi bile pred - videne narodnostne pravice odvisne od »sorazmerno precejšnjega števila« pripadnikov narodnih skupnosti v krajih, ki bi jih bilo treba upoštevati, ter sovjetski predlog, ki ustreza sedan - jemu besedilu 7. člena. Sovjetski predlog se spet opira na jugoslovanskega. Jugoslavija je po letu 1945 zahtevala od avstrije dele južnokoroškega ozemlja. Te zahteve je utemeljila s tem, da avstrija oz. koroška po plebiscitu leta 1920 ni uresničila obljub, danih koroškim Slovencem. Število koroških Slovencev v rezultatih ljudskih štetij je upadlo od čez 66.000 pred plebiscitom leta 1910 na le še 37.000 oz. 26.000 pri ljudskih štetjih 1923 in 1934; namesto popolne enakopravnosti, obljubljene pred plebiscitom leta 1920, se je dogajala asi - milacijska in germanizacijska politika. Ljudsko štetje v času nacistične Nemčije leta 1939 je prikazalo spet 42.000 koroških Slovencev (vključno kategorijo »vindiš«, katero so kot novo uvedli nacisti, pozneje pa so jo obdržali), to pa samo zato, ker so za napačne podatke grozile kazni; kakor se je pozneje izkazalo, naj bi bilo služilo prav to ljudsko štetje kot osnova za popolno uničenje slovenske narodne skupnosti na koroškem. uresničitev teh načrtov se je s pregonom koroških slovenskih družin aprila 1942 že začela; preprečil jo je le nadaljnji vojni potek. Jugo - slavija je utemeljevala, da je koroška politika do koroških Slovencev v zadnjih 25 letih dokazala, da obstoj narodne skupnosti ni zagotovljen, če ostane pod avstrijo; zaradi tega da so potrebne ozemeljske spremembe. Jugoslovanski predlog za oblikovanje besedila 7. člena je bil zato prvotno mišljen le za tiste dele, ki naj bi bili ostali tudi po predstavah Jugoslavije pod avstrijo – v glavnem bi bil to dvojezični del Zilje. avstrija je nasprotno poudarjala, da je docela pretrgala z nacistično Nemčijo in tudi s politiko germanizacije iz Prve republike. To naj bi se dokazovalo tudi s tem, da je bil postavljen dr. Joško Tischler kot predstavnik koroških Slovencev za člana prve provizorične koroške deželne vlade. Pod merodajnim vplivom dr. Tischlerja so za osnovno šolstvo za narodno skupnost že 03.10.1945 sprejeli odredbo provizorične koroške deželne vlade, katera je za celo območje pred - videla obvezni dvojezični pouk za vse šolske otroke. Na dvojezičnem ozemlju, določenem z naštevanjem občin, ter v mestih Celovec, Beljak in Šmohor naj bi poleg tega za šolske otroke z dvojezičnega ozemlja na glavnih šolah ter gimnazijah imeli slovenščino kot obvezni predmet v obsegu treh ur tedensko. Pri nastavitvi učiteljstva na dvojezičnem območju naj bi poslušali predstavnika Slovencev v deželnem zboru. izhajali so torej iz tega, da bo v deželnem zboru vedno kak zastopnik Slovencev. kot vodje dvojezičnih ljudskih šol naj bi nastavljali učne moči, ki obvladajo slovenski jezik. Nenazadnje so ob opozarjanju na to šolsko ureditev poudarjali, da se v osvobojeni avstriji koroškim Slovencem ni treba ničesar bati, da so jugoslovanske oze - meljske zahteve neupravičene, da je obstanek južne koroške v avstriji dokončno določen z izidom plebiscita 1920. Če so bile jugoslovanske ozemeljske zahteve sploh kdaj realistične, so postale najpozneje s spo - rom v kominformu ter prelomom med Stalinom in Titom iluzorne. kot kompenzacijo za odstop od ozemeljskih zahtev so velesile sprva prevzele jugoslovanski ter od Sovjetske zveze vloženi predlog besedila za člen o manjšinskem varstvu. Zaradi imenskega naštevanja občin, v katerih 6 60 LeT 7. ČLenA naj bi bil dvojezični pouk, v uredbi provizorične deželne vlade iz leta 1945 naj bi bilo tudi jasno, SL kako ozemeljsko veljavnostno razsežnost naj bi imel ta člen o manjšinskem varstvu. avstrija pravtako ni ugovarjala

  • Slovenian Minority in Austria Tereza Smejkalová1
    Slovenian minority in Austria Tereza Smejkalová1 Abstract: This paper will analyse the issue of the Slovenian minority in Austria and focus on its history, development and contemporary concerns as well as attitudes on both sides of this disputed subject. It also stresses the importance of tolerance, democracy and the respect of people’s values, which should be part of the contemporary world and especially of the European Union. If the language and culture of a minority are not adequately respected, the European Union should be concerned and act accordingly. However, in the case of the Slovenian minority this does not occur. Keywords: Slovenia, minority, language policy, and bilingual signposts The autochthonous Slovenian ethnic minority, which is a remnant of former Slavic groups that populated the entire south and east of today’s Austria, now lives in the south Austrian provinces of Carinthia and Styria. Although this minority has had its rights guaranteed by two international treaties – the Saint Germain Peace Treaty of 1919 and the Austrian State Treaty of 1955 – and European conventions, Austria has failed to fully implement them. The Slovenian minority in Styria is not even officially recognised, while ethnic Slovenians in Carinthia have had to fight for every benefit that should have been taken for granted. This status is also indisputably linked to the fact that the former head of the Freedom Party, who has been criticised for his xenophobic and racist statements, is currently the governor of Carinthia. Jorg Haider used the so-called bilingual signpost dispute (“Ortstafelsturm”) in the pre-elections campaign in the summer of 2006 and his actions have dramatically worsened the tensions between the two neighbouring countries.

  • The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe by Kimberly Ann Twist a Dissertation Submitted In
    The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe by Kimberly Ann Twist A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jonah D. Levy, Chair Professor Jason Wittenberg Professor Jacob Citrin Professor Katerina Linos Spring 2015 The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe Copyright 2015 by Kimberly Ann Twist Abstract The Mainstream Right, the Far Right, and Coalition Formation in Western Europe by Kimberly Ann Twist Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Jonah D. Levy, Chair As long as far-right parties { known chiefly for their vehement opposition to immigration { have competed in contemporary Western Europe, scholars and observers have been concerned about these parties' implications for liberal democracy. Many originally believed that far- right parties would fade away due to a lack of voter support and their isolation by mainstream parties. Since 1994, however, far-right parties have been included in 17 governing coalitions across Western Europe. What explains the switch from exclusion to inclusion in Europe, and what drives mainstream-right parties' decisions to include or exclude the far right from coalitions today? My argument is centered on the cost of far-right exclusion, in terms of both office and policy goals for the mainstream right. I argue, first, that the major mainstream parties of Western Europe initially maintained the exclusion of the far right because it was relatively costless: They could govern and achieve policy goals without the far right.

  • Utilization of Communal Autonomy for Implementing Additional Bilingual Names of Populated Places and Streets in Carinthia (Austria)
    GEGN.2/2021/71/CRP.71 15 March 2021 English United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names Second session New York, 3 to 7 May 2021 Item 12 of the provisional agenda * Geographical names as culture, heritage and identity, including indigenous, minority and regional languages and multilingual issues Utilization of communal autonomy for implementing additional bilingual names of populated places and streets in Carinthia (Austria) Submitted by Austria ** Summary An improved political climate between the German-speaking majority and the minority of Slovenes in the Austrian Province of Carinthia now allows the utilization of communal autonomy (a principle of the Constitution) to implement additional bilingual town signs and new bilingual street names. While that possibility always existed, implementation was not previously possible because the German-speaking majority in all bilingual communes but one would not have passed such a decision in favour of the minority. Now, the opportunity to implement bilingual place names in addition to the 164 defined in amendment No. 46/2011 to the National Minorities Act has been used by three communes in various ways. Experience has shown that the introduction of street names replacing bilingual names of populated places poses new challenges to bilingual communes. The recommendations of the Austrian Board on Geographical Names regarding the naming of urban traffic areas in 2017 (see E/CONF.105/21 and E/CONF.105/21/CRP.21) referred explicitly to the value of using field names and/or other traditional local names when applying new names. Those recommendations contributed to the conservation of traditional local place names of the minority as street names.

  • Codebook CPDS I 1960-2013
    1 Codebook: Comparative Political Data Set, 1960-2013 Codebook: COMPARATIVE POLITICAL DATA SET 1960-2013 Klaus Armingeon, Christian Isler, Laura Knöpfel, David Weisstanner and Sarah Engler The Comparative Political Data Set 1960-2013 (CPDS) is a collection of political and institu- tional data which have been assembled in the context of the research projects “Die Hand- lungsspielräume des Nationalstaates” and “Critical junctures. An international comparison” directed by Klaus Armingeon and funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. This data set consists of (mostly) annual data for 36 democratic OECD and/or EU-member coun- tries for the period of 1960 to 2013. In all countries, political data were collected only for the democratic periods.1 The data set is suited for cross-national, longitudinal and pooled time- series analyses. The present data set combines and replaces the earlier versions “Comparative Political Data Set I” (data for 23 OECD countries from 1960 onwards) and the “Comparative Political Data Set III” (data for 36 OECD and/or EU member states from 1990 onwards). A variable has been added to identify former CPDS I countries. For additional detailed information on the composition of government in the 36 countries, please consult the “Supplement to the Comparative Political Data Set – Government Com- position 1960-2013”, available on the CPDS website. The Comparative Political Data Set contains some additional demographic, socio- and eco- nomic variables. However, these variables are not the major concern of the project and are thus limited in scope. For more in-depth sources of these data, see the online databases of the OECD, Eurostat or AMECO.
