French and Soviet Musical Diplomacies in Post-War Austria, 1945-1955
French and Soviet Musical Diplomacies in Post-War Austria, 1945-1955 investigates how promoting 'national' music and musicians was used as an important asset by France and the USSR in post-Nazi Austria, covering music’s role in international relations at various levels, within changing power frameworks. Bridging international relations, musical sociology, media studies, and Cold War history, four incisive chapters examine the crossroads of Soviet, French, and Austrian cultural politics and discourse-building, presented in two parts - institutions of musical diplomacy: Soviet and French cultural diplomats in comparison; sounds of music coming to Austria: Soviet and French musicians on tour. Using a communication- and media-oriented approach, this study casts new light, firstly, on the interpretative power of 'receiving' publics and, secondly, on the role of cultural transmitters at different levels. This is a valuable study for those specialising in Russian and East European music and music and politics. It will also appeal to cultural historians and all those interested in the intersections between music, international relations, and Cold War history.

The Hybridization of Vocational Training and Higher Education in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland
Austria, Germany, and Switzerland are increasingly relying on hybridization at the nexus of vocational training and higher education to increase permeability and reform their highly praised systems of collective skill formation. This historical and organizational institutionalist study compares these countries to trace the evolution of their skill regimes from the 1960s to today‘s era of Europeanization, focusing especially on the impact of the Bologna and Copenhagen processes.
Französische Österreichbilder – Österreichische Frankreichbilder
Die kulturellen Beziehungen zwischen Frankreich und Österreich haben sich oft anders gestaltet als die zwischen Frankreich und Deutschland. Das Frankreichbild der Österreicher ist immer ein anderes als das der Deutschen gewesen und auch manch einem Franzosen war durchaus bewusst, dass Österreich – trotz der Dominanz der deutschen Sprache –´ein anderes Land als Deutschland ist. Die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes stellen an ausgewählten Beispielen Besonderheiten der gegenseitigen Wahrnehmung vor: Vom Artikel „Autriche“ in Diderots Encyclopédie führt ihr Weg dabei über Reiseberichte, das Frankreichbild in österreichischen Schulbüchern für den Französischunterricht des späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts sowie frankreichfeindliche Karikaturen der 1920er Jahre bis hin zu den verklärenden Paris-Erfahrungen Rudolf Kassners und Stefan Zweigs.
