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 and 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 2010/2011 and working papers of some their most promising
PhD students. Their research presented in this volume covers various
aspects of Central European history in Moderns Times, ranging from the
seventeenth century to the present.
