This Act is based on the principle that victims of violence may stay in their homes and perpetrators have to leave the flat and the environment of the persons they have endangered by using violence. This Act protects people who have suffered domestic violence. However, not everybody is affected by violence to the same extent: in most cases, the victims are women and children, while the majority of offenders is male family members, in particular husbands and live-in partners. Children are always affected by do- mestic violence, either directly, when violence is directed against them, or indi- © Werner Jäger rectly, when they witness violence or its consequences. Austria’s Federal Act on Protection Against Domestic Violence has served as a model for many countries in and outside Europe. It was prepared from 1994 to 1996 by interministerial working groups in which practitioners in this field such as judg- es, police officers and lawyers as well as workers in women’s shelters took part. The variety of know- how contributed by these experts from different fields laid the foundation for a law that is oriented towards the situation and protection of people affected by violence. The Act focuses on the State’s obligation to protect women and children also in their own homes. The protection of people experiencing violence is effected by means of eviction orders issued by the police, under which the perpetrator has to stay away for 10 days, and by means of injunctions under civil law that extend over three months or until divorce or partition proceedings have been completed. Still, it has been evident from the beginning that legal measures alone are not enough but that at the same time, victims have to have access to immediate comprehensive support services. Therefore, in- tervention centres against domestic violence were established in all provinces so that those affected by violence are actively assisted after eviction orders have been issued by the police. Apart from this Federal Act, a number of other measures were also taken in Austria. What deserves special mention here is the Anti-stalking Act, which entered into force in July 2006, and the right to court assistance services: as of January 2006, all victims of domestic violence have been granted the right to cost-free psychosocial and legal court assistance during criminal proceedings, and in addi- tion, the victims’ rights to information, considerate treatment and participation in proceedings have been expanded. Eventually, the Second Protection Against Violence Bill is a further step towards great improvements. 6 Foreword Still, our objective must be to prevent violence against women and children to the greatest possi- ble extent. Therefore it is my task and my concern to continue to take active steps and do everything in my power to combat domestic violence and provide effective assistance to those affected by it. We do not have to start from scratch but can, and will, take over other countries’ knowhow in fields where there might be need for us to catch up. Occasions such as this international conference of ex- perts are excellent opportunities to do this, and I would like to thank all international and national ex- perts for their invaluable contributions.

Sehr geehrte Abgeordnete und NRW-KandidatInnen! Die Lehrerinnen und Lehrer des Gymnasium Bregenz Gallusstraße haben im Rahmen einer Dienststellenversammlung am 20. September 2013 den Entwurf „Neues Dienstrecht – Pädagogischer Dienst“, der ohne Zustimmung der LehrerInnenvertreter am 29. August ausgeschickt worden ist, diskutiert. Veränderte Anforderungen an Schule und Unterricht haben unsere Arbeitsbedingungen in den letzten Jahren stark verändert. Individualisierung des Unterrichts, soziale Integration, vielfältige Unterrichts- und Lernformen, Beratung und Förderung, Schul- und Unterrichtsentwicklung, gleichzeitig aber mehr als ein Jahrzehnt restriktiver Bildungs-Budgetpolitik haben die Arbeitsbelastung und unsere tatsächliche Arbeitszeit enorm erhöht. Reduzierte Lehrverpflichtungen aus gesundheitlichen Gründen, Überbelastung von Kolleginnen und Kollegen und Burnout sind Folgen dieser Entwicklung. Der aktuelle Bericht des Boltzmann-Instituts zum Thema „Gesundheit bei LehrerInnen“ zeigt diese Problematik deutlich auf. Wir wünschen uns Klarheit und Transparenz über unsere tatsächlichen Leistungen und Arbeitsbedingungen und wollen uns nicht auf das beschämende Niveau der in den letzten Wochen von Dienstgeberseite betriebenen Miesmacherei begeben.

  • The House of Austrian History a Press Report
    Journal of Social Science Education Volume 18 Issue 1 Fall 2019 Documentation DOI 10.4119/jsse-1281 "Austria is celebrating itself” The House of Austrian History A Press Report Bernhard Trautwein University of Vienna – The opening of the Haus der Geschichte Österreich (HGÖ - House of Austrian History) is the culmination of a discussion which has taken nearly one hundred years. – The discussion is the result of a struggle between political parties over the right to seek a definite interpretation of the Austrian interwar period. – The didactical-conceptual orientation of the announced project has the potential to both discuss and question politically influenced interpretations of the Austrian interwar period. Purpose: On the occasion of its one hundredth birthday, the Republic of Austria has opened a history museum in November 2018 called the House of Austrian History. The considerations towards this are almost as old as the republic itself. This article shall analyze why political parties could not agree on a specific project for so long and illustrate the decision-making process and its implementation before ultimately categorizing the didactical-museographical concept of the exhibition from a historical-didactical perspective. Design/methodology/approach: The basis for the analysis is provided by Austrian daily newspaper coverage of the House of Austrian History. The body of sources limits itself to the period between January 2008 and January 2019 and has been evaluated based on the analysis of its content. Findings: In the course of the discussion, which preceded the opening of the House of Austrian History, the Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) and the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) debated bitterly for decades about how to best interpret Austrian contemporary history and were unable to find common ground.

  • Is Austrian Budgetary Policy Still “Political”? a Cross-Time Comparison of Budget Speeches1
    Research Article Is Austrian budgetary policy still “political”? A cross-time comparison of budget speeches1 Johannes Karremans, Johann Kaltenleithner University of Salzburg [email protected] Abstract This paper investigates whether and how the democratic feedback loop between the government and parliament has been affected in Austrian budgetary policy-making. The question stems from the observation that since 2009 the budgetary policy- making process has been substantially affected by both national and European reforms, with some scholars arguing that budgetary policy today has become a bureaucratic rather than a political exercise. Through a comparative content analysis of finance ministers’ budget speeches we show that this is not the case and that instead – compared to the past – the share of political discourse has remained substantial. Furthermore, we find that today Austrian governments present the parliament with more detailed information about their planned expenditures and taxations, and that these plans are linked more strongly to the governing parties’ manifestos rather than the European country-specific recommendations. Keywords accountability; Austrian politics; budgetary policy; European Semester; party-government Ist die österreichische Budgetpolitik noch “politisch”? Ein zeitübergreifender Vergleich von Budgetreden Zusammenfassung Dieser Beitrag stellt den Anspruch, zu ergründen, ob und auf welche Weise die demokratische Rückkopplungsschleife zwischen Regierung und Parlament im Bereich der österreichischen

  • Meetings 2012 Vienna Economic Forum
    INTERNATIONAL CONSULTATIVE STATUS NON-GOVERNMENTAL WITH THE ECONOMIC AND ORGANISATION SOCIAL COUNCIL (ECOSOC) OF THE UNITED NATIONS VIENNA ECECONOONOMIC FORUM MEETINGS 2012 History of a Vision INTRODUCTION Dear Members of Vienna Economic Forum! We have the pleasure to report about another successful Vienna Economic Forum year 2012! Vienna Economic Forum is proud that the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations at its Substantive Session of July 2012 adopted the recommendation of the Committee on Non-Governmental Organiza- tions (NGOs) to grant Special consultative status to Vienna Economic Forum. The Special consultative status of Vienna Economic Forum enables us to actively engage with ECOSOC and its subsidiary bodies, as well as with the United Nations Secretariat, programmes, funds and agencies in a number of ways. In 2012 we organized „Vienna Economic Talks – Sofia Meeting“ under the motto „Liberalisation of Markets in the Region South-Eastern Europe“ in cooperation with the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) in April, „Vienna Economic Talks – Meet Turkey in Vienna 2012“ under the motto „Turkey – Important Player in the Regional Economy“ in cooperation with Vienna Insurance Group, Ray Sigorta A.S. Turkey and Verbund AG in June, and our 9th Vienna Economic Forum „Quo vadis, Europe? Regional Cooperation for European Integration“ in November 2012 in Palais Niederösterreich in Vienna, Austria. This year our 11th Traditional Garden Party „Culinary and musical journey through the partner countries of Vienna Economic Forum“ took place in the garden of the Embassy of Ukraine. According to our motto „for a better understanding“ we had the reason to celebrate one event together, which also unites all people around the world, entrepreneurs, politicians, artists and sportsmen – the European Football Championship, which took place in this year both in Ukraine and in Poland and we want to thank the Ambassador of Ukraine and the whole VEF- Ambassadors Committee for our outstanding and intensive good cooperation.
