From the Industrial Revolution to World War II in East Central Europe
The Centers for Austrian Studies - founded by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Science and Research - play an important role for the international scientific community. Their tasks are to promote studies on Austria and Central Europe, and to give Austrian students the opportunity to conduct research abroad and make contact with local scientific communities. This book contains reports on the activities of these institutions during the 2010/2011 academic year, as well as the working papers developed by some of their most promising PhD students.

Die Freimaurer
Mit der Freimaurerei im 18. Jahrhundert entstand ein Freundschaftsbund, der nicht nur jüngere Männerbünde und Zusammenschlüsse direkt oder indirekt beeinflusste, sondern auch zum erklärten Ziel sinistrer Verschwörungstheorien geworden ist. Was als kleinbürgerlicher und zünftischer Zusammenschluss in London 1717 begann, wurde rasch ein Sammelpunkt der alten Eliten und des aufstrebenden Bürgertums und war damit stets ein Spiegel der Gesellschaft, innerhalb der die bunte Vielfalt der Logen existierten und existieren durften. Verfolgt von Inquisition, linken und rechten Diktaturen und totalitären Regimen, angegriffen von völkischen Kreisen als Internationalisten und vaterlandslosen Ge...
Austria 1867-1955
Austria 1867-1955 connects the political history of German-speaking provinces of the Habsburg Empire before 1914 (Vienna and the Alpine Lands) with the history of the Austrian Republic that emerged in 1918. John W. Boyer presents the case of modern Austria as a fascinating example of democratic nation-building. The construction of an Austrian political nation began in 1867 under Habsburg Imperial auspices, with the German-speaking bourgeois Liberals defining the concept of a political people (Volk) and giving that Volk a constitution and a liberal legal and parliamentary order to protect their rights against the Crown. The decades that followed saw the administrative and judicial institution...

Uprooted and Unwanted
The tragedy of war does not end when the soldiers put down their guns. Among the after-effects, the dislocation and relocation of civilians often loom large. The aftermath of the Bosnian conflicts has left many refugees needing to establish new lives, often in radically different cultures. In Uprooted and Unwanted, Barbara Franz offers a cogent look at how these refugees have fared in two representative cities—Vienna and New York City. Between 1991 and 2001, some 30,000 Bosnian refugees settled in Austria, and 120,000 found their way to the United States. Franz focuses on the strategies, skills, and informal networks used by Bosnian refugees, particularly women, to adapt to official policies and administrative practices in their host societies. Her analysis concludes that historically inaccurate ideas on how to deal with displaced persons have led to policies in both Europe and North America that have adversely affected those whose lives have been devastated by war.
