Beschreibung
The Centers for Austrian Studies, founded by the Austrian Federal Ministry
for Science and Research since the 1970s, play an important role for the
Austrian as well as the international scientific community. Their tasks
are to promote studies on Austria and Central Europe in 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 2009/2010 and working papers of their most promising PhD
students. The research presented in this volume covers various aspects of
Central European history in Moderns Times, ranging from the sixteenth
century to the present.
