Violence, Democratization, and the Rule of Law in the Late Habsburg Empire<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Online Workshop<\/p>\n\n\n\n April, 16 2021, University of Padua, Italy \u2013 ZOOM link: https:\/\/unipd.zoom.us\/j\/84726303163<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n This one-day workshop will bring together historians of the Habsburg Empire\u2019s final decades to discuss recent approaches to the tensions between state and society in Austria-Hungary. Moving away from analyses centred on nationalism, the goal will be to analyse other sources of conflict in Habsburg society. The introduction of universal male suffrage in 1907 and the battles for democratization of the political process reshaped domestic equilibriums. Growing international tensions provoked insecurity among the military elite. Questions addressed will range from the relations between military and civilian power, the state repression of social unrest, and the role played by the rule of law at the local level. To what extent did the \u201cinternal war\u201d of the Habsburg government against its citizens have roots in the pre-1914 period? How were internal and external threats articulated in the minds of the military and administrative elite? What was the practice on the ground and what were the regional differences?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Programm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 10.15 \u2013 10.30: Welcome and introduction (Matteo Millan and Claire Morelon)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10.30 \u2013 12.00: First session 12.00 \u2013 14.00: Break<\/p>\n\n\n\n 14.00 \u2013 15.30: Second session 15.30 \u2013 16.00: Break<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kontakt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n matteo.millan@unipd.it<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.dissgea.unipd.it\/sites\/dissgea.unipd.it\/files\/2021.04.16_0.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
