This volume brings together a set of key studies on the history of medieval Central Europe (Bohemia, Hungary, Poland), along with others specially commissioned for the book or translated, and a new introduction. This region was both an area of immigration, and one of polities in expansion. Such expansion included the settlement and exploitation of previously empty lands as well as rulers' attempts to incorporate new territories under their rule, although these attempts did not always succeed. Often, German immigration has been prioritized in scholarship, and the medieval expansion of Central Europe has been equated with the expansion of Germans. Debates then focused on the positive or negati...

The Workgroup Human–Computer Interaction & Usability Engineering (HCI&UE) of the Austrian Computer Society (OCG) serves as a platform for interdisciplinary - change, research and development.

Wie funktioniert das politische System in Österreich? Warum hat es in den letzten Jahren an Vertrauen eingebüßt? Und was erklärt die vielzitierten "österreichischen Lösungen"? Antworten auf Fragen wie diese zu finden, gestaltet sich oft schwierig. Die rechtlichen Grundlagen gelten als schwer verständlich. Und viele politische Weichen werden in informellen Räumen gestellt, die in der Verfassung gar nicht vorgesehen sind. Das politische System gleicht somit einem Rätsel. Das Kritische Handbuch der österreichischen Demokratie möchte hier Antworten geben – wissenschaftlich fundiert, aber allgemein verständlich. Es beleuchtet das Regelwerk der Bundesverfassung, die Institutionen des demokratischen Prozesses und die politischen Funktionsweisen der Verwaltung. Vor allem aber zeigt es Theorie und Wirklichkeit des österreichischen Parteienstaates auf und denkt über Defizite und Reformmöglichkeiten nach.
