Description
First published in 1990, A Contemporary History of Austria analyses the politics of modern Austria and reviews the changes that have taken place since the Keisky era (1970-83), and traces the traumas of a country which has only recently begun to examine critically its past. Gone is the cosy image of Austria as a country spared the political and economic difficulties experienced elsewhere. Melanie Sully shows that the two main political parties are facing increasing competition from the 'new middle class' and alternative/green groups and that the once legendary stability and predictability of Austrian politics can no longer be taken for granted. This book will be of interest to students of history and political science.
