University of Vienna, July 3-4, 2024

The Great War and the breakup of the Habsburg monarchy left its successor states with the challenge of state building under difficult conditions. Following the end of the Second World War, Austria again became a focus of international reconstruction efforts.

“American Agents in Austria – After 1918, After 1945” is a two-day conference devoted to an exploration of the strategies of Austria and the successor states to develop their state capacities and to provide basic public goods with the support of American experts on different levels of administration.

Scheduled for 3-4 July 2024, in Vienna, Austria, the conference is sponsored and co-organized by the Botstiber Institute for Austrian-American Studies, together with the Institute of Austrian Historical Research at the University of Vienna.
