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 20
11/2012 and working papers of some of their most promising
PhD students. Their research presented in this volume covers
various aspects of Central European history in Moderns
Times, ranging from the fifteenth century to the present.
