		It is a member of the Party of European Socialists in the European Parliament.

	Wolfgang Schüssel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-21)
		However, after negotiating for months with both the Social Democratic Party (SPÖ) and the Green Party, Schüssel, whose own party had won a landslide victory, decided to renew his coalition government with the Freedom Party, which had been reduced to a mere 10 per cent of the vote.
		The coalition with the Austrian Freedom Party and the various raised fees because of the "Nulldefizit" policy were the main points of criticism.
		He is fond of mountaineering in the Austrian Alps (he has actually co-authored a tour guide) and, a lover of music, plays several instruments including the piano.

	Otto Bauer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although he was politically active during his studies, his gradual rise in the Austrian Social Democratic Party began after he had finished his PhD.

		When Engelbert Dollfuss, with the assistance of elements of the Christian Social Party and the Heimwehr, installed an authoritarian, corporatist dictatorship in 1933, the activities of the Austrian Social Democrats were severely curtailed.

	The Lithuanian Social Democratic Party and the Revolution of 1905 - Dalius Vasys
		Thus the Social Democrats' decision after 1900 to expand beyond the urban centers, into the countryside, was facilitated by their tactical flexibility but in turn required new ideological adjustments.
		The Social Democrats, then in the forefront of the revolutionary movement, thought that the planned conference, which originally was to have been largely academic in content, would be a relatively minor event in the course of the revolution.
		Thus, paradoxically, a Marxist party, supposedly committed to proletarian internationalism, played a central role in the national reawakening of Lithuania and accelerated the political differentiation of Lithuanian society by forcing the Democrats and clergy, in order to preserve their influence in society, to seek mass support by means of modern political party structures.

	Lessons from European Social Democracy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-21)
		In March 1933 when the reactionary government of Dollfus unleashed its armed attacks on the social democratic party, the workers and other toiling people, the social democratic party, pinning faith on the parliamentary system betrayed the fighting workers who offered resistance.
		Otto Bauer was the brains of the social democratic party.
		Conveniently the whole leadership of the party, Bauer and Deutsch excepted, were in the lion’s den and the authorities simply arrested the lot.

	Kelsen and his Circle: The Viennese Years
		The unique role of Austrian social democracy derives from the fact that it cultivated a traditional Marxist rhetoric while, in view of the notorious weakness of the liberal bourgeoisie in Austria, becoming a sort of protecter of modern trends per se.
		The notable accomplishments of Municipal Vienna under social democratic rule in the areas of adult education, educational reform and housing ensured the social democratic movement support from many bourgeois intellectuals.
		In the idea of the state as person, the `illustrative personification of the legal order constituting the social community and founding the unity of a diversity of human behaviour', an example of a `reification' was to be replaced by the recognition of the state as a legal function.

	Ultra-right Freedom Party takes second place in Austrian parliamentary elections
		Taking into account the low overall voter turnout of 76.2 percent, the social democratic vote fell by 20 percent from the total registered by the party in the last parliamentary elections four years ago.
		The two parties have ruled Austria in a coalition government for the past 13 years, weaving a web of nepotism and political corruption unparalleled even by Austrian standards.
		According to Klestil the continued exclusion of Haider's party from responsible posts constitutes an abuse of the electorate and is undemocratic.

	Central Europe Review - Austria: Brown Stains
		Kreisky was a victim of the Nazi regime, forced into exile during the war, but he ambiguously believed that "a member of the Nazi party or of the SS can occupy every political office in Austria as long as he has committed no crime"[3] and engaged in bitter controversy with the "Nazi-hunter" Simon Wiesenthal.
		Maria Rauch-Kallat, the general secretary of the ÖVP, described Gusenbauer's move as "an important step" for the SPÖ and added that, unlike the Social Democrats, her party had already dealt with and overcome its Nazi past and in 1980 created the Karl Vogelsang Institute for this purpose [4].
		To an extent, the reintegration of former Nazi party members (estimated by historians at between 500,000 and 600,000) into Austrian society after 1945 was an economic necessity and a way of healing the political divisions of the country.

	The Voice of the Turtle
		Many Austrians were shocked to discover that Jorg Haider's Freedom Party (FPÖ) had won over one million votes, or 27.6 per cent of the electorate, placing it within touching distance of power.
		Yet perhaps one area in which the Freedom Party is different from Hitler's NSDAP or Mussolini's PNZ, is that the Austrian party's rhetoric combines chauvinism with free-market economics.
		Meanwhile, the party's leading candidate in the recent elections was a prominent industrialist, Thomas Prinzhorn.

	Social democrats win Chamber of Labour elections
		In the Austrian "social partnership" system, the Federal Chamber of Labour (Bundesarbeitskammer, BAK) and its regional organisations in the nine federal states (Länder), the Chambers of Labour (Arbeiterkammern, AK s) represent labour - along with the Austrian Trade Union Federation (Österreichischer Gewerkschaftsbund, ÖGB) (AT0004218F).
		The Institute for Social Research and Analysis (SORA) conducted an opinion poll after the AK election in Vienna, in which it sought to identify the motives of voters.
		Since most employees surveyed expect a worsening of their personal situation in respect of pensions and social insurance in the event of illness, accidents and unemployment, the outcome of the AK election seems to reflect a widespread opposition to the government's initiatives.

	Huge losses for Haider's Freedom Party in Austrian elections An analysis of the vote
		This is the biggest increase in votes by a party in post-war Austria and was the greatest election victory for the ÖVP in 36 years.
		Secondly, it makes clear that the social democrats are incapable of regaining their former voters because they have nothing to offer which could be regarded as an alternative to the right-wing and conservative policies of the ÖVP.
		Three years ago the FP became the strongest party in the Austrian capital of Vienna, with Haider referring to Vienna as a “bastion for freedom”.

		The origins of social partnership lie in the violent class struggles and high unemployment of the years between the two world wars, culminating in the civil war of 1934 and the annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany in 1938.
		It is mainly true of pay and incomes policy in the social partnership context, which enables the trend in labour costs to be attuned to economic requirements.

	Central Europe Review - The Other Austria
		Yet this generational change at the head of what remains, after all, the largest political party in Austria must be relativised and put into perspective: Haider took over the Freedom Party in 1986 at the age of 36, and the new finance minister, Karl-Heinz Grasser, is only 31.
		Gusenbauer has assumed the mantle of the Social Democrats' mythic figure of the Second Republic, Chancellor Bruno Kreisky (1970 to 1983), and has described seeing Kreisky in 1968 - at the age of eight - as one of his earliest and most formative political experiences.
		What is more, the indictment of the Austrian nation as a whole indirectly gives Haider ammunition and criticises him while flirting with the same kind of unacceptable racist and ethnically based rhetoric he and his party often use.
