Haben diese Imperien nach ihrer formellen Auflosung ein Vermachtnis im Verhaltnis der Burger zu ihren staatlichen Institutionen hinterlassen? Dieser Beitrag untersucht, ob sich die Zugehorigkeit zum Habsburger Reich, das verschiedene Teile Europas fur mehr als 600 Jahre beherrschte und im Jahr 1918 unterging, in Osteuropa noch heute auf das Vertrauen der Burger in staatliche Institutionen und Korruption auswirkt.

At the same time, these wars were intimations of what was to become the bloodiest, most violent century in Europe's and indeed humankind's history. Wars often lead to other wars. Yet this process of contagion happened in a particularly gruesome manner during the twentieth century. In Europe, the Balkan Wars marked the beginning of the twentieth century's history of warfare.

In several Eastern European countries, communities on both sides of the long-gone border of the Habsburg Empire have been sharing common formal institutions for 90 years now. We exploit this geographic discontinuity in a regression-discontinuity design with country fixed effects using data of individuals living inside a restricted band around the former border. We find that historical Habsburg affiliation increases current social capital and trust and reduces corruption in several public services. Past formal institutions can leave a legacy through cultural norms even after generations of common statehood.

After their dissolution did these empires leave behind a legacy of governmental institutions? Sascha O. Becker, University of Warwick, Katrin Boeckh, Regensburg Eastern Europe Institute, Christa Hainz and Ludger Woessmann examine how having been a part of the Habsburg Empire in Eastern Europe still affects the confidence of citizens today in governmental institutions as well as the prevalence of corruption. If one compares people that live in the same country but on different sides of the one-time borders of the Habsburg Empire, those who live on the Habsburg side have more confidence in the courts and the police. It is also less probable that they pay bribes for these public services. This proves that the institutional heritage has not only left a mark on preferences but also influences the actual interaction between citizens and the state.

Pre-dating the establishment of the states, the elites of the respective countries had convinced the Great Powers that they should be accepted as allies at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919-1920. After the founding of Czechoslovakia and the South Slavic Kingdom, they were recognized internationally and allowed broad territorial expansion with the Great Powers' consent. Their statebuilding showed some common characteristics, for example both Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia created a synthetic, “supernational” ideology (Czechoslovakism and Yugoslavism) to homogenize the ethnic diversity and the different nationalities within the states.

Und als Anstoß, die religiöse Vielfalt Ostmitteleuropas als Charakteristikum dieser Großregion herauszuarbeiten.
