Austria's International Position after the End of the Cold War
In the past quarter century, we have moved from the Cold War to the Post-Cold War era in Austria, Europe, and the world at large. Yet relatively little assessment is available to gauge what the change from the Cold War to the Post-Cold War era signaled for Austria and Europe's positions in the world. Volume 22 of Contemporary Austrian Studies aims to fill in these gaps by providing a detailed p…
