A Late Iron Age/early Roman Enclosed Settlement at Basing View, Basingstoke
Excavation in advance of housing development at Basing View, Basingstoke, revealed the remains of an Early Roman enclosed settlement that possibly originated in the Late Iron Age and was occupied to the early 2nd century. The settlement was fairly low status, focussed on mixed farming practices, but was notable for the presence of a possible sunken- featured building with a baby burial. The site adds to current knowledge of the Late Iron Age/Earl…

Strategic Coalitions and Agenda-Setting in Fragmented Congresses: How the PRI Sets the Legislative Agenda in Mexico
This essay suggests a theory of strategic legislative agenda control. It argues that a single party can effectively set the agenda under majoritarian gatekeeping rules without obtaining majority or even plurality status. The agenda-setting party need not be the median party in the assembly nor supported by executive-led parliamentary coalitions. The Mexican Chamber of Deputies provides a case study of how majoritarian gatekeeping and political co…
NS-Siedlungen in Wien: Projekte, Realisierungen Ideologietransfer, by Ingeburg Weinberger
The Nazis had ambitious building plans when they took over in Vienna in March 1938: new houses, estates and public buildings were to be infused by a new Germanic spirit, taking inspiration from the greatest architect of all, who, it was supposed, had shown his first signs of architectural genius in the city before the First World War. Herman Neubacher, the new Mayor, greeted Hitler in a state of religious exaltation, thanking the Almighty, beggin…
Black Vienna: The Radical Right in the Red City, 1918–1938, by Janek Wasserman
Inter-war Vienna has sometimes appeared as the slightly neglected republican step-child of its polyglot fin-de-siècle predecessor, in which interest continues to be insatiable. The main exception is the social engineering experiment of Vienna’s Social Democrats; the project of creating a ‘new kind of human being’ through a combination of social policy, progressive taxation, education (including adult education), public health and housing estates …

National Construction Work and Hierarchies of Empathy in Postwar Austria
This article seeks to link Austrian policy and attitudes towards Displaced Persons and refugees with the postwar project of establishing a national identity which was clearly demarcated from National Socialist Germany. Building on critical views of Austria as a ‘reluctant country of exile’ it goes back to postwar Austrian perceptions of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) as an organization which, though providing …
Der Grosse Illusionist: Otto Bauer (1881–1938), by Ernst Hanisch
The description of the Austrian Socialist and Marxist theoretician Otto Bauer as an ‘Illusionist’ (in the sense of ‘self-deluded’) is amply justified throughout this biography by Ernst Hanisch. Bauer’s illusions are ultimately underpinned by his early conversion in the late Habsburg monarchy to Marxism and a belief in the inevitability of socialist revolution. They appear (not entirely without justification) in the ruins of the monarchy with the …
Söldner für den Anschluss: Die österreichische Legion, 1933–1938, by Hans Schafranek
Hans Schafranek examines, in depth and expertly, the careers of nearly 15,000 Nazi activists (almost all of them Sturmabteilung [SA] members), who fled to Germany after the Austrian Chancellor, Engelbert Dollfuss, banned the Nazi party in June 1933. In the previous year the Nazis had achieved major electoral breakthrough in Austria, gaining up to 20 per cent of the vote in regional elections, and, enthused by Hitler’s take-over, they started a ca…

Ich war mit Freuden dabei: Der KZ-Arzt Sigbert Ramsauer--eine osterreichische Geschichte, by Peter Pirker and Lisa Rettl
Dr Sigburt Ramsauer was a middle-ranking killer who, having served and murdered for the Third Reich, was punished and subsequently went on to live to a ripe old age, unrepentant in the conviction that he had acted ‘decently’. His mixture of self-assurance and matchless cynicism was displayed in a remarkable film in 1992, in which he and three other aged Austrian Nazis expounded their views on the world and their own achievements, in the near cert…

Denazification and Integration in the Austrian Province of Carinthia
Denazification—whether defined narrowly as a political purge or more broadly\nas an attempt to change the values of post-Nazi society—has not enjoyed a\ngood press. In the case of Austria, as in the two German “successor societies”\nof the Third Reich, criticism has divided roughly into a conservative and a\n“left-liberal” position. The former has weighed denazification in the balance\nagainst Western legal principles (notably the prohibition of …
Last one out turn off the lights: The influence of geographic, demographic and economic factors on the provision of library services in rural and remote communities
The ongoing withdrawal of population and services from rural areas has generated an interesting and somewhat unexpected challenge for public libraries, which are often assuming de facto roles as multi-service providers to their communities. This paper reports on research carried out in 2001 which aimed to provide some insight into how libraries in rural and remote locations overseas are dealing with the issues of service withdrawal and population…

Ethnicity and Identity in the Cold War: The Carinthian Border Dispute, 1945–1949
consensus exists that ethnic politics disappeared during the cold war, but explanations of how or why they did vary widely. Three groups can be distinguished; first, those rooted in the Second World War and National Socialism. Mark Mazower, for example, argues that well before the cold war began, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and boundary changes had created more homogeneous states and thus removed many sources of ethnic conflict.1 A variation clai…
Contours of Memory in Post-Nazi Austria
Knight discusses both domestic and foreign aspects of the post-war Austrian 'landscape of memory', going back to the Anschluss and the antisemitic violence that followed it. In the years after 1945 this memory was sidelined, first by the West in the interests of the Cold War and then by the Soviet Union, although it has persisted in a subterranean sort of way. Since the 'Waldheim affair' it has surfaced to join a new international politics of sen…
