Since the 1970s, the Centers for Austrian Studies, which were founded by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Science and Research, have played an important role for the Austrian and international scientific community. Their tasks are to promote studies on Austria and Central Europe through their host nations, as well as to give Austrian students the possibility to conduct research abroad and to get in touch with the local scientific community. This volume contains reports on the activities of these institutions in the academic year 2012/2013, as well as working papers of some their most promising PhD students. Their research presented in the book covers various aspects of Central European history in modern times, ranging from the 17th century to the present. (Series: Europa Orientalis - Vol. 14)

What are the consequences? Is there even a problem - economically, culturally and morally? No other book confronts so many dimensions of the low fertility issue and none engage with the thorny issues of child psychology, parenting, family, and social policy that are tackled head-on here.

Le statut de l'artiste de cour, à l'âge classique, reposait donc sur cette relation contractuelle et personnelle de fidelitae. Or, tout au long du XVIIIe siècle, le statut et la condition sociale de l'artiste vont connaître des mutations décisives, principalement liées aux profonds bouleversements des structures du marché de l'art. En raison de l'importance du fait musical à la cour madrilène du petit-fils de Louis XIV, la com...
