Book Description
Excerpt from The Economic Policy of Austria-Hungary During the War in Its External Relations The main historical interest of the economic policy of Austria Hungary during the War lies precisely in its connection with this idea of a Central Europe bound together, as against the world out side, economically if not politically. This idea, as is pointed out in the following pages, had been warmly advocated before the War by many thinkers and men of affairs both in Germany and Austria Hungary. The War gave it a powerful impetus. The eminent German economist Franz von Liszt published in 1914 a brochure in which he gave it a new expansion, and advocated, in the event of the ultimate victory of the Central Powers, the establishment of a middle-euro pean League of States which should include not only Central Eu rope but all Continental countries from the Arctic Ocean to the shores of the Mediterranean, with the exception of Russia, France, and Spain. The eminent Austrian economist Eugen von Philippe vich followed this up in 1915, at Dr. Von Liszt's invitations, with a contribution to the same serial publication (zwischen K rieg and Frieden) in which, after an elaborate examination of the problems involved, he advocated an economic union between austria-hungary and Germany as the condition precedent to the creation of a wider league. The greatest and most widespread influence, however, was exercised by Friedrich Naumann, whose M itteleuropa also appeared in 1915. This book, with its brilliant and original style and its min gling of practical realism with patriotic and religious idealism, was eminently calculated to appeal to the German popular intelligence. Its success was immense and immediate; it circulated in many thou sands and, translated into several languages, it first revealed the portentous vision of Central Europe to the outside world.

Book Description
After the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, Austria transformed itself from an empire to a small Central European country. Formerly an important player in international affairs, the new republic was quickly sidelined by the European concert of powers. The enormous losses of territory and population in Austria's post-Habsburg state of existence, however, did not result in a political, economic, cultural, and intellectual black hole. The essays in the twentieth anniversary volume of Contemporary Austrian Studies argue that the small Austrian nation found its place in the global arena of the twentieth century and made a mark both on Europe and the world. Be it Freudian psychoanalysis, the “fin-de-siècle” Vienna culture of modernism, Austro-Marxist thought, or the Austrian School of Economics, Austrian hinkers and ideas were still wielding a notable impact on the world. Alongside these cultural and intellectual dimensions, Vienna remained the Austrian capital and reasserted its strong position in Central European and international business and finance. Innovative Austrian companies are operating all over the globe. This volume also examines how the globalizing world of the twentieth century has impacted Austrian demography, society, and political life. Austria's place in the contemporary world is increasingly determined by the forces of the European integration process. European Union membership brings about convergence and a regional orientation with ramifications for Austria's global role. Austria emerges in the essays of this volume as a highly globalized country with an economy, society, and political culture deeply grounded in Europe. The globalization of Austria, it appears, turns out to be in many instances an “Europeanization”.
