New Perspectives on Austrians and World War II

By: Fritz Plasser

For more than a generation after World War II, offi cialgovernment doctrine and many Austrians insisted they hadbeen victims of Nazi aggression in 1938 and, therefore, bore noresponsibility for German war crimes. During the past twentyyears this myth has been revised to include a more complexpast, one with both Austrian perpetrators and victims. Part one describes soldiers from Austria who foughtin the German Wehrmacht, a history only recently unearthed.Richard Germann covers units and theatersAustrian fought in, while Th omas Grischany demonstrateshow well they fought. Ela Hornung looks atcase studies of denunciation of fellow soldiers, whileBarbara Stelzl-Marx analyzes Austrian soldiers whowere active in resistance at the end of the war. StefanKarner summarizes POW treatment on the Eastern front.Part two deals with the increasingly diffi cult life on theAustrian homefront. Fritz Keller takes a look at how Viennasurvived growing food shortages. Ingrid Bhler takesa rare look at life in small-town Austria. Andrea Strutzanalyzes narratives of Jewish refugees forced to leave forthe United States. Peter Ruggenthaler and Philipp Lesiakexamine the use of slave laborers. And Brigitte Kepplingersummarizes the Nazi euthanasia program. The third part deals with legacies of the war, particularlypostwar restitution and memory issues. Based on newsources from Soviet archives, Nikita Petrov describes theRed Army liberation. Winfried Garscha analyzes postwarwar crimes trials against Austrians. Brigitte Bailer-Galandaand Eva Blimlinger present a survey of postwarrestitution of property. And Heidemarie Uhl deals withAustrian memories of the war. Gnter Bischof is the director of CenterAustria and MarshallPlan Professor of History at the University of New Orleans; FritzPlasser is professor of political science and dean of the facultyof political science and sociology at the University of Innsbruck;Barbara Stelzl-Marx is an APART-fellow with the Austrian Academyof Sciences and the deputy director of the Ludwig BoltzmannInstitut fr Kriegsfolgen-Forschung in Graz.

The Austrian Party System

By: Anton Pelinka,Fritz Plasser

First published in 1989. Political science in Austria is a relatively young discipline. It began to gradually establish itself in the 60's and only as recently as 1971 was it anchored in the curriculum of Austrian universities as a separate field of study. With the present book in English the editors hope to stimulate the interest of international social scientists in Austria, to overcome language barriers, and to make the topical problems and developments of Austrian democracy accessible to an international reading public. The book is intended to reflect the current state of a discipline-political science. However, it is also to be a contribution to the further development of this discipline. It should stimulate further, intensive and critical occupation with the theme "parties and the party system in Austria.

Democratic Consolidation in East-Central Europe

By: Fritz Plasser,Peter Ulram,Harald Waldrauch

The postcommunist regimes in East-Central Europe are confronted with the double challenge of establishing a democratic order and a market economy. The book discusses the concepts of democratic consolidation and analyzes the development of attitudes towards the political and economic system in Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Slovenia. The study compares the political values in East-Central Europe with respective attitudes in the USA and Western Europe. Special attention is given to experiences of the consolidation process in Germany, Italy and Austria after 1945 as well as the more recent developments in Latin America and Southern Europe. The final chapter discusses patterns and paths of democratic consolidation in the light of concepts of regime change.

Global Political Campaigning

A Worldwide Analysis of Campaign Professionals and Their Practices

By: Fritz Plasser

Plasser examines the changing practices of election campaigning worldwide. Based on data of an indepth survey of campaign managers and political consultants from 43 countries, he provides insights into the professional role definitions and strategic orientations determining the future of electioneering in media-centered democracies. The first section gives a state-of-the-art overview of the international literature and modernization theories describing and analyzing the ongoing process of modernization and growing professionalization of electioneering around the world. The second section deals with the topic of an Americanization of campaign practices in countries fundamentally different from the United States from a diffusion point of view. A special focus is the role of U.S. overseas consultants in influencing and modifying campaign practices in foreign countries based on indepth interviews about the professional experiences of leading figures of the Americans overseas consultancy business. The third section deals with central features of campaign practices from a comparative perspective and provides information and data about the media infrastructure and political culture indicators for 50 countries as well as a detailed comparison of country-specific campaign regulations, party system features, and campaign styles. The fourth section focuses on the results of Plasser's Global Political Consultancy Survey among 592 campaign professionals from 43 countries. The results of this first worldwide survey offer insights into professional orientations, role definitions, and practices of campaign managers and political consultants throughout the world. The fifth section discusses different area- and country-specific campaign styles from a comparative perspective. The final chapters present a global typology of distinct campaign styles across the world, summarize the central findings, and link them to the ongoing debate about the future of electioneering in media-centered democracies. An essential research tool for scholars, students, and other researchers involved with comparative electioneering, political management, and political communication.

Schussel Era In Austria (Contemporary Austrian Studies, Vol 18)

By: Günter Bischof,Fritz Plasser

The essays in this volume argue that Schussel's political record and legacy are ambiguous. With a confrontational style of governance he unleashed big reforms -- he was a superb tactician and negotiator and yet failed to transport a larger political vision to the Austrian electorate. His imprint on Austrian history is so significant that many of the authors of the essays in this volume call it the Schussel era.

New Ways of Ontology

New Ways of Ontology

By: Fritz Plasser

Contemporary philosophy has reasserted the belief that philosophy has practical tasks. This turn reflects an understanding that the life of the individual and the community is not molded merely by personal needs and fortunes but also by the strength of dominant ideas. For Nicolai Hartmann, ideas are spiritual powers belonging to the realm of thought, but thought has its own strict discipline and critique of events. In his view, theory must include within its scope problems of the contemporary world and cooperation in work that needs doing.New Ways of Ontology stands in opposition to the tradition of Heidegger. With deep appreciation of the history of philosophical controversy, Hartmann divides mistakes of the old ontology into those related to its method and those concerning its content. Hartmann finds a common mistake behind methodological approaches inspired by late German romanticism in attempts to develop a complete systematic account of the categories of being—not only of the ideal, but of real being.The main task of New Ways of Ontology is to reveal and analyze interdependences and interconnections. The divisions of being and becoming, of the separation of existence and essence, as well as the old view that the real and the ideal exclude each other, require revision. For Hartmann, whose ideas take us close to modern social science research, ontology is the neutral category that includes subject and object, and gets beyond old realism and modern idealism alike.
