Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The Faculty of Law and State of the University of Vienna (ReStaWi) was the institutional framework for important schools of the interwar period, namely the Viennese School of Legal Theory by Hans Kelsen and the Austrian School of Economics, whose head can be considered at that time Ludwig Mises. At the same time, the faculty was the scene of bitter battles between the various worldviews (Austromarxism, Austrofascism); but everything was superimposed by the increasingly aggressive anti-Semitism.
The seminar aims to bring together the individual scientists and their schools that existed at the faculty from 1918-1938, but also to place the history of the faculty in a context with the constitutional and political backgrounds.

Assessment and permitted materials

The participants are expected to hold a 20-minute presentation and write a written seminar paper. If this is to be counted towards the diploma thesis, it must have a length of at least 50,000 characters and comply with the following requirements:
