"This volume celebrates the study of Austria in the twentieth century by historians, political scientists and social scientists produced in the previous twenty-four volumes of Contemporary Austrian Studies. One contributor from each of the previous volumes has been asked to update the state of scholarship in the field addressed in the respective
volume. The title "Austrian Studies Today," then, attempts to reflect the state of the art of historical and social science related studies of Austria over the past century, without claiming to be comprehensive. The volume thus covers many important themes of Austrian contemporary history and politics since the collapse of the Habsburg Monarchy in
1918—from World War I and its legacies, to the rise of authoritarian regimes in the 1930s and 1940s, to the reconstruction of republican Austria after World War II, the years of Grand Coalition governments and the Kreisky era, all the way to Austria joining the European Union in 1995 and its impact on Austria's international status and domestic
politics." - "Dieser Band ist den Österreichstudien im 20. Jahrhundert gewidmet, und zwar den von Historikern, Politik- und Sozialwissenschaftlern in den vorhergehenden 24 Bänden von "Contemporary Austrian Studies" gelieferten Forschungsergebnissen. Jeweils ein/e AutorIn der bislang produzierten CAS-Bände wurde gebeten die Forschung zum jeweiligen Thema auf den neuesten Stand zu bringen. Der Titel des Bandes "Austrian Studies Today/Österreichstudien Heute" stellt also einen Versuch dar, den Stand der historischen und sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschung zu Österreich im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert in den Griff zu bekommen, ohne den Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit zu erheben. Der Band versucht möglichst viele wichtige Themen zur österreichischen Zeitgeschichte und Gegenwartspolitik seit dem Zerfall der Habsburger Monarchie 1918 abzudecken – der Erste Weltkrieg und sein Vermächtnis, der Aufstieg der autoritären Regime in den 1930er und 1940er Jahren, der Wiederaufbau eines demokratischen Österreich nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, die Jahre der Großen Koalition und die Kreisky- sowie die Vrantizky-Ära, Österreichs Beitritt zur Europäischen Union 1995 und die Folgen auf Österreichs Innen- und Außenpolitik, bis hin zur Ära Schüssel.

De ideeën van Paracelsus over gezondheid vanuit een sociaal-economische visie zijn al 500 jaar oud, maar werden eerst recent teruggevonden en toegankelijk gemaakt door een nieuwe editie van zijn sociaal-economisch werk. Ook de andere hier weergegeven inzichten over gezondheid en gezondheidszorg vanuit een economisch, sociaal en politiek perspectief zijn weinig bekend. In dit boek gaat het over de meest belangrijke ideeën van sociale wetenschappers en economen over gezondheid en gezondheidszorg, beginnend met Paracelsus en eindigend met Schumpeter. Behandeld worden grondleggende ideeën en concepten van Wolff, Justi, Roscher, Menger, Schmoller, Bücher, Oppenheimer en Althoff. De conclusie luidt dat hun bijdragen wel deels zijn te herkennen in de moderne gezondheidseconomie, maar dat wij toch ook belangrijke invalshoeken, die zouden voortvlooeien uit hun werk, vandaag missen. Daarom kan een geschiedenis van de theoretische ontwikkeling van de gezondheidseconomie ook geen Whig history zijn. Volgens deze richting is de huidige stand van de ontwikkeling het logische gevolg van werk dat vroeger al is gedaan. Om een aantal redenen hoeft dit niet per se zo te zijn. De nieuwe economie van de gezondheidszorg heeft andere wortels, met name de Engelse National Health Service. Verder staan de hier besproken bijdragen niet in het Engels, vandaag de lingua franca van de sociale wetenschappen, ter beschikking. In de dissertatie zijn, naast één voorbeeld van wetenschapspolitiek (Althoff), uitsluitend auteurs uit het Duitse taalgebied die klassieke bijdragen hebben geleverd voor een bespreking opgenomen. De hier gekozen auteurs zien gezondheid als onderdeel van menselijk handelen en gezondheidszorg als onderdeel van cultuur. De nadruk ligt op culturele ontwikkeling en gezondheid, op het subsidiariteitsbeginsel en op een minimale rol van de overheid in de gezondheidszorg. De weergave van de inzichten van de behandelnde auteurs geeft ook een antwoord op de vraag in hoeverre zij een bijdrage leveren over aspecten zoals vraag naar en aanbod van de gezondheidszorg, informatie, optimale contracten, de markt voor geneesmiddelen, verzekeringen, technologie, instituties zoals ziekenhuizen en bejaardenhuizen, waardering van levens en levenskansen, sociale verzekeringen, en beleid en vraagstukken in de toekomst. Aangegeven wordt dat hun voorstellen politieke relevant waren in hun eigen tijd

Census data of 1951 demonstrate that regular work outside the fam shapes everyday life for a high % of the F pop in Austria On the basis of several field studies undertaken by L. Rosenmayr, the following findings are summarized: (1) F employment corresponds to an econ necessity in relation to the 'basic' fam budget. Financial motivations for women's work outweigh other motives. The Rosenmayr study of 3,623 cases (both men & women) shows that the % of women who worked 'because they liked the job' was signif'ly lower than the % of men who were 'enthusiastic' about their jobs. (2) Other than financial reasons for the women's work were: very high with teachers, artists, women employed in Med care, soc work, etc; medium with clerical workers; & lowest with manual labor. (3) A small-scale study comprising 240 depth interviews showed that financial motives for work were professed more frequently by mothers with 3 or more children. This led to the discovery of a serious role conflict: the greater the number of children, the greater is the financial need for the mother to work outside; yet at the same time, the greater is the necessity for her to stay at home. (4) As a result of changes of the occup'al structure by expanding industrialization, & of the new requirements of society, fewer women work on fam farms, help in fam artisan production or fam business, or work as household servants for the UC's. (5) A real conflict, in current models of the F role in modern society, becomes visible in the paradoxical coexistence of the ideal of partnership on the one hand & the dramatization of femininity practiced by the industry of stimulation on the other. Observations of this kind could lead to studies of the ideals, expectations & wishes of husbands & wives re the woman's role, as well as to investigations of the official ideas of soc instit's re the woman's role. Finally, the interpretation of data in the light of regional soc & cultural history is recommended, since surviving forms of established traditions are often encountered which can be understood only in a historical context.
