V . from Eec Association Application to “Going It Alone to Brussels” 1961–69 373 V . FROM EEC ASSOCIATION APPLICATION TO “GOING IT ALONE TO BRUSSELS” 1961–69 1 . GENERAL INTRODUCTION: THE ADVANCING AND GROWING EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES – A PRODUCT OF THE MERGER OF INSTITUTIONS A thaw occurred relatively quickly after the death of Stalin on March 5, 1953. This also occurred within the context of the Hungary crisis that had been smold- ering since that time (1953–1955/56) and the new course of confrontation that had been set between West and East with the growing second crisis in Berlin 1958–1961. This caused Austria’s ambitions for ECSC/EEC membership – which had been increased in the face of growing domestic political resistance, above all on the part of the SPÖ and the trade unions – to be moved considerably to the background and may be understood, starting from a process of reflection and self-discovery, as an actual phase of profiling the Austrian neutrality. Added to this were French ambitions for hegemony within the ECSC and the EEC under the State President Charles de Gaulle (in office 1958–69)1 with growing reservations regarding integration policy with respect to Austria,2 as well as Italian objections above all else as a result of the South Tyrol conflict3 and, last but not least, Euro- pean Communities reservations about the postulate of Austrian neutrality. These aspects had as much of a formative influence upon Austrian integration policy as internal resistance did. The EEC arrived at economic progress and political setbacks. On January 1, 1959, tariffs were reduced for the first time by 10% in order to then continue being reduced little by little until completely eliminated. In parallel to this, a common external tariff was set up. In the multilateral General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) tariff negotiations within the framework of the “Kennedy Round”, the EEC lowered its external tariffs (with the exception of agricultural products) by 35 to 40%, depending upon the product. They came to an end on June 30, 1967. 1 Maurive VAÏSSE, La grandeur.

From EEC Association Application to “Going It Alone to Brussels” The EEC of the 1960s moved in the shadow of de Gaulle, who sought with it to perpetuate French hegemony on the continent and the exclusion of Great Britain from the EC. It was a decade of progress for the integration of trade and tariff policy and stagnation for supranationality policy.4 The “Fouchet plans” of 1961–625 were harbingers of a further intracommunity and institutional crisis that were to escalate with de Gaulle’s veto of the United Kingdom in 1963 and the “empty chair” policy in 1965–66.6 This crisis was de- fused through the exclusion of the United Kingdom from the community and the maintaining of the dominance of France on the continent as the first among the six EEC states at least for the time being. The crisis of the policy of the “empty chair” practiced by Charles de Gaulle – who blocked decisions in the Council of Minis- ters for half a year because of the controversial matter of agricultural financing – ended with the “Luxembourg Compromise” of 1966 with the establishment of the possibility of a veto with matters of important national interest and the prevention of the introduction of majority decisions.7 1967 March 25: Stamp commemorating the tenth anniversary of the signing of the Treaties of Rome (EEC and EURATOM) 4 Michael GEHLER, Europa.

Kreisky‘s Special Way of Dealing with Europe 375 On July 1, 1967, the “merger treaty” entered into force which provided for the setting up of a common Council and a common Commission. From then on, the partial communities of the ECSC, the EEC, and EURATOM formed the EC on the basis of the existing treaties. On July 1, 1968, eighteen months earlier than provided in the Treaties of Rome, the EEC customs union entered into force. The internal tariffs were thus abolished and a Common External Tariff for trade with third states was introduced. But the regulation of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) remained a problem.8 2 . KREISKY’S SPECIAL WAY OF DEALING WITH EUROPE: INTEGRATION AND NEUTRALITY POLICY IN ORDER TO BUILD UP AUSTRIAN IDENTITY Bruno Kreisky came from a liberal, upper-class Jewish family of Southern Moravian origin. Born in Vienna on January 22, 1911 as the son of Max Kreisky, entrepreneur and president of a company in the wool industry, he was already engaged as a young college preparatory student in the social democratic youth movement as early as 1926. Kreisky also belonged to the youth section of the Paneurope movement of Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi and was familiar with his writings.9 Kreisky began his studies in jurisprudence in Vienna. He joined the Social Democratic Worker’s Party (Sozialdemokratische Arbeiter Partei, or SDAP). After it was banned in February 1934, Kreisky committed himself in the under- ground against the dictatorship of Engelbert Dollfuss and Kurt Schuschnigg and joined the banned “Revolutionary Socialists”. Apprehended in 1935, a prison sen- tence of several months followed. During the trial, he defended himself skillfully, which attracted international attention. In 1937–38, he completed his studies. In the wake of the Anschluss, he was taken into custody awaiting trial until the au- tumn of 1938. Under the condition that he leaves the country, he managed to get to Sweden with the help of friends, where he worked as a journalist and a scholar of business law in the cooperative movement. During his Swedish exile, Kreisky was engaged in the Youth International and served as chairman of the Austrian Socialist Group. In Stockholm, he befriended leading Scandinavian politicians (among them Dag Hammerskjöld, Tage Erlander, August Fagerholm, and Hans Hedtoft) as well as those who had fled Germany such as Willy Brandt.10 8 Gerold AMBROSIUS, Die Zollunion von 1968 und das Binnenmarktprojekt von 1993, in: GEHLER (Hrsg.), Vom gemeinsamen Markt zur europäischen Unionsbildung, 419–433; for this chapter see the documents 41–68 and the appendix “Documents”. 9 Bruno KREISKY, Im Strom der Politik.

From EEC Association Application to “Going It Alone to Brussels” For Austria’s development after 1945, the dissociation from Germany and indeed from all Germans was essential. Austria’s continued existence, its pro- claimed “victim status” (according to the Moscow Declaration of November 1, 1943), and its independence all played a crucial role in Kreisky’s thinking about Austrian foreign policy. On the advice of friends as well as Austrian president Karl Renner, Kreisky entered the diplomatic service in 1946 and was assigned to the Austrian legation in Stockholm. In the early 1950s, he succeeded in returning to Austria. From 1953 to 1959, he was Undersecretary for Foreign Policy. Kreisky grew with these tasks and was repeatedly at the diplomatic mission or presenta- tions in the FRG. He had constant contact with the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), in which he initially did not have any particularly powerful posi- tion. Starting in 1959, when Kreisky became foreign minister, a separate foreign ministry was set up under him, while his fellow party member, the tactician Bru- no Pittermann, was chairman of the SPÖ, vice chancellor, and responsible for nationalized industry.11 Starting from 1955, the Austrian government was compelled for reasons of neutrality policy to back integration policy solutions in order to find a clever bal- ance of interests between options of a small or large Europe. The three existing initiatives (FTA, EFTA, and a possible EEC association together with the neu- trals) were possible because they were compatible with the neutrality status as a sort of “middle path”. After entry in EFTA, Foreign Minister Kreisky presented Austria’s policy with respect to integration matters as a strategy of “well-balanced caution paired with a policy of firm determination”.12 This formula reflected the openness and indecisiveness in the foreign ministry with regard to the question as to what position to take on the further course of Western European integration. In Kreisky’s view, the “building of bridges” to the EEC should take place in a multilateral manner through a framework treaty, but EFTA should not be prematurely disposed of through a fluctuating Austrian policy.

  • AV Austria Innsbruck
    AV Austria Innsbruck Home Die Austria Die Geschichte der AV Austria Innsbruck Austrier Blätter Folgend geben wir lediglich einen kurzen Überblick und Auszüge von unserer Verbindungsgeschichte: Programm Interesse? Die ersten Jahre Intern Unsere Verbindung wurde am 9. Juni 1864 von zwei Kontakt Philosophiestudenten, Franz Schedle und Johann Wolf, gegründet. Sie ist damit die älteste katholische Verbindung Österreichs und die "vierte" Verbindung, die dem damals noch Deutschland, Österreich und Tschechien umfassenden Cartellverband (CV) beitrat. Die Anfangsjahre waren von der liberalen und kirchenfeindlichen Denkweise vieler Professoren und Studenten an der Universität, speziell der schlagenden Corps, und daraus resultierenden Anfeindungen bis hin zu tätlichen Übergriffen geprägt. Ein gewaltiger Dorn im Auge war den bestehenden Corps vor allem die Ablehnung der Mensur, was zu vielen Provokationen und Ehrbeleidigungen führte. Ein in Couleurkreisen relativ bekannter Austrier beispielsweise, Josef Hinter, späterer Gründer der Carolina Graz, wurde wegen der Ablehnung eines Duells mit einem Schlagenden unehrenhaft aus der kaiserlichen Armee entlassen, und dies war kein Einzelfall. Dennoch gelang es der Austria, binnen sechs Jahren zur größten Verbindung Innsbrucks zu werden. Die Austria bildete 1866 etwa den dritten Zug der Akademischen Legion (Studentenkompanie) im Krieg gegen Italien. Zugsführer war der Gründer der Austria, Franz Xaver Schedle! Die Fahne der Studentenkompanie hängt heute in einem Schaukasten bei der Aula der Leopold-Franzens-Universität Innsbruck. In dieser Aula prangert übrigens auch an der Strinseite des Saales unser Wahlspruch! Damals wie heute lauteten die Prinzipien: RELIGIO, das Bekenntnis zur Römisch-Katholischen Kirche PATRIA, Heimatliebe und Bekenntnis zum Vaterland Österreich SCIENTIA, akademische und persönliche Weiterbildung AMICITIA, Brüderlichkeit und Freundschaft Mehr über unsere 4 Prinzipien erfährst Du unter "Prinzipien".

  • Why the European Union Promotes Democracy Through Membership Conditionality Ryan Phillips
    Why the European Union Promotes Democracy through Membership Conditionality Ryan Phillips Government & International Relations Department, Connecticut College, 270 Mohegan Avenue, New London, CT 06320, USA, E-mail: [email protected] Prepared for 2017 EUSA Conference – Miami, FL DO NOT CITE OR CIRCULATE Abstract Explanations of why the European Union promotes democracy through membership conditionality provide different accounts of its normative rationale. Constructivists argue that the EU’s membership policy reflects a norm-driven commitment to democracy as fundamental to political legitimacy. Alternatively, rationalists argue that membership conditionality is a way for member states to advance their economic and security interests in the near abroad. The existing research, however, has only a weak empirical basis. A systematic consideration of evidence leads to a novel understanding of EU membership conditionality. The main empirical finding is that whereas the constructivist argument holds true when de facto membership criteria were first established in the 1960s, the rationalist argument more closely aligns with the evidence at the end of the Cold War when accession requirements were formally codified as part of the Copenhagen Criteria (1993). Keywords: democracy promotion, political conditionality, enlargement, European Union, membership Word Count: 7177 1 Introduction On October 12, 2012 in the Norwegian capital of Oslo, Thorbjørn Jagland declared, ‘The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2012 is to be awarded to the European Union. The Union and its forerunners have for over six decades contributed to the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe’ (Jagland 2012). In awarding the EU the Nobel Peace Prize, the former prime minister voiced a common view of the organization as well as its predecessors, namely that it has been a major force for the advancement of democracy throughout Europe.

  • From the History of Polish-Austrian Diplomacy in the 1970S
    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.

Cette dernière s'étend sur douze années (mars 1933-avril 1945) au cours desquelles l'ordre démocratique est démantelé et baillonné. Cet état de choses n'arrive pas du jour au lendemain; il est l'aboutissement de conflits qui opposent, sous la Première République, le camp conservateur au camp social- démocrate. Le résultat de ces conflits, c'est l'élimination par étapes de la démocratie par le parti chrétien-social et ses alliés fascistes, en particulier les "Heimwehren". Celle-ci s'effectue principalement par le fait qu'en 1933 le Parlement est mis hors d'état d'agir et qu'en 1934 tous les partis politiques sont interdits. On peut au contraire définir les deux grandes périodes démocratiques mentionnées auparavant comme jeu de rapports de force entre les partis politiques, jeu qui se déroule essentiellement dans le cadre des institutions parlementaires.
