Non-Toleration of Dual Citizenship in Austria. Sitzungsberichte der philosophisch-historischen Klasse|Dual Citizenship and Naturalisation|
No full textThis chapter addresses the puzzle of why Austria has resisted the global trend towards the toleration of dual citizenship, even though none of the common explanations for such resistance apply to the Austrian case. We start by examining the history of Austrian citizenship law and the international conventions that Austria has joined. We then present a detailed analysis of those provisions in Austrian law that are relevant for dual citizenship. We find that Austria has accepted dual citizenship in the case of acquisition by birth but still clings to a general prohibition of dual citizenship in both the naturalisation of immigrants and when Austrians voluntarily acquire another citizenship. We suggest that politicised hostility towards dual citizenship for one particular group of immigrants – those from Turkey – seems to have blocked debates about reform. The chapter ends with the sketching of pathways to policy change and a menu of legislative reforms building on principles – already recognised in Austrian citizenship legislation – that could lead to the toleration of dual citizenship

GENERAL ASPECTS The Significance of Developments in Peloponnesian Pottery over the Middle to Late Helladic Transition. Veröffentlichung der Mykenischen Kommission|(Social) Place and Space in Early Mycenaean Greece Mykenische Studien 35|
No full textThe Peloponnese is often called the heartland of Mycenaean civilisation, and it is certainly possible to followthe processes involved in Mycenaean development more closely through the archaeological material of the Peloponnesethan through that from any other region of mainland Greece. But the Peloponnese was not a unity in the MiddleHelladic period; its different regions show evidence of distinctive characters, not least in their pottery, and show differingpatterns of contact with the outside world. We might therefore expect them to show differences in their developmenttowards Mycenaean, and there is evidence for this, in the pottery as in other features; but there are also indications ofcloser links between the regions, which helped spread the influence of the increasingly prominent northeast and thedevelopment towards the notably homogeneous pottery tradition of later Mycenaean times. This paper will consider theevidence now available for these developments and the motivation that may lie behind them
Preface. Veröffentlichung der Mykenischen Kommission|(Social) Place and Space in Early Mycenaean Greece Mykenische Studien 35|
No full textTransforming Expressions and Perceptions of Prestige in the Middle Helladic and Early Mycenaean Southwestern Peloponnese. Veröffentlichung der Mykenischen Kommission|(Social) Place and Space in Early Mycenaean Greece Mykenische Studien 35|
No full textThis paper assesses evidence for the transformation of prestige expression in the southwestern Peloponneseduring the early Mycenaean period (late MH–LH II) with special attention on the shift from patterns of elite behaviourobservable throughout the MH period in the region, especially the kind of prestige conveyed by the construction andmaintenance of funerary mounds or tumuli. It focuses on the appearance of novel perceptions of monumental prestigein architecture, such as the early employment of cut masonry, as well as the emergence of various types of built burialspace, and particularly the tholos form (perhaps a local invention) and its role in the dramatic transformation of thefunerary landscape of the region. Such novelties, apparently appearing in the southwestern Peloponnese earlier in comparisonto other mainland regions, need not have a uniform explanation, as they might reflect cultural imports or localdevelopments responding (or even contributing) to the formation of a new socio-political environment. These lastinginnovations shaped basic elements of an emerging monumental prestige vocabulary that had a considerable impact inother regions of the Greek mainland and contributed, especially from LH IIA onwards, to the formation of a supraregional‘Mycenaean’ elite identity. In this regard, the broader social and ideological change that took place throughoutthe earlier part of the Late Bronze Age Aegean culminated in the adoption of what has been termed the wanax ideology,a kingship institution that is established by LH IIIB times, but whose first appearance on the Greek mainland can beplausibly associated with the formative stages of the palatial administrations established there
Terezín und Jasenovac – Umkämpfte Gedenkstätten vor und nach 1989
No full textTerezín was turned into a memorial site in 1947. Unlike the Jasenovacconcentration camp in Croatia that was destroyed by the Ustaša in 1945, the Czechconcentration camp was largely untouched by the end of the war. During the liberalizationphase of the 1960s, Czechoslovak authorities began planning a ghettomuseum in Terezín to be dedicated to the Holocaust, which had until that timebeen marginalized. At the same time, the Yugoslav Communist Party authorizedthe construction of a memorial and museum in Jasenovac. This study exploreswhether the two sites of memory have played a comparable role in the communistnarrative of the past since their establishment and examines the role the twomuseums now play in new national narratives of the post-communist era. TheGhetto Museum was established in Terezín in 1991, its current permanent exhibitionopened in 2001. The current exhibition opened at the Jasenovac MemorialMuseum in 2006, when Croatian EU accession talks were stagnating. The timinggives cause for the study to question the part the two institutions played in therespective country before joining the EU, that is, were the exhibitions understoodas a “dray horse towards Europe”—as one Croatian journalist once put it—, asproof of the countries “Europeaness”? In addition, the museums’ treatment ofdifferent perpetrators, on the one hand, the Ustaša, who ran the camp on theirown, and on the other, the members of the protectorate government and the gendarmeswho guarded the ghetto in Terezín, is examined in regard to their focuson the victims
