Product description

Unter schwierigen Umständen wurde nach dem Ende der Monarchie 1918 die Republik in Österreich gegründet. Jedes politische Lager kritisierte von Beginn an durchgehend bis 1933/34 die existente, in der Verfassung verankerte Demokratie. Zwar existierte unter den politischen Akteuren der Grundkonsens, dass die Regierungsform »demokratisch« sein sollte, allerdings herrschten zwischen den politischen Parteien unterschiedliche Auffassungen von »Demokratie«. Jede der Parteien wollte einen Idealzustand von Demokratie erreichen, während die in der Verfassung verankerte Demokratie als »politische« bzw. bloß »formale Demokratie« überwunden gehöre.Under difficult circumstances, a republic was founded in Austria after the end of the monarchy in 1918. From the beginning until 1933/34, the leading politicians consistently criticized the existing constitutional democracy. Although there was a basic consensus among political actors that the form of government should be "democratic," different understandings of "democracy" prevailed among the political parties. Each of the parties claimed to replace the existing democratic order by a new and "ideal form of democracy."

We might all once have felt that the moment of saturation for books about the Third Reich might be approaching when British writers start writing fairy in depth histories of not very significant Bavarian villages during the period. And Julia Boyd is not even the first British person to analyse the social history of smaller places in the era (I think Ian Kershaw might be able to make that claim). This book is however a valuable and well-written addition to the popular history of Nazi Germany. Boyd's cast of characters is kept small enough to mean you begin to understand the internal politics of the village and she faithfully tells stories in an unembellished way. Boyd is not an academic and it sometimes shows in both positive and negative ways. There are a few small inaccuracies in the book but her empathy for her characters shines through (occasionally to an almost jarring extent). In short, even if this is the moment of saturation, I think we might be best off just adding more water.
