“…By 1914, Imperial Austria had developed into a nationalising empire, to paraphrase Brubaker's (1996, p. 63–65, 83–84) notion of “nationalising states.” It was not a nationalising empire in the sense of de facto nation states, like the modern British or French empires that nationalised around the ethnic core in the metropolis or the very late Russian and Ottoman empires, which increasingly applied elements of nationalising policies after the respective revolutions in 1905 and 1908 (Berger & Miller, 2015; Breuilly, 2017). Neither was it nationalising in the sense of aiming to create a supranational imperial Austrian nation (Komlosy, 2015; Reifowitz, 2003), because the very essence of the Austrian “state idea” remained true to a monarchic ideal (Haslinger, 2008). Instead, it had become what Stergar and Scheer (2018, p. 576, 584–585) have so pointedly termed a “multinationalising empire.” Developing their concept further, this paper suggests that Imperial Austria was a hybrid between a nationalising state and an empire with two equally valid, and not two competing components.…”

Western societies over the last few decades have seen an increased interest in questions of group belonging and group identities, including ethno-national groups. According to essentialising or constructivist paradigms, belonging to a national group is commonly conceptualised in the range of objective versus subjective criteria, where objective entails ascription and subjective, self-identification. This paper suggests disentangling the paired dimensionsobjective and other-classification versus subjective and self-classification-by analysing the late Habsburg Empire. I argue that the introduction of national registers in the new provincial constitutions and electoral laws of Moravia, Bukovina and Galicia accelerated an objective understanding of nationality and increasingly favoured other-classification over self-classification in cases where national belonging had become an administrative category. Yet, to do justice to the individual's subjective feelings, authorities were supposed to investigate objectively a citizen's subjective identification-a procedure that can be termed "objectivisation." Such objectivising procedures thus reconciled an individual's subjective identification with an increasingly objective understanding

“…Upon uncovering the disparities in interpreting the empire across different periods, it is not surprising that there is no comprehensive study addressing the migration patterns between the two parts of the Monarchy. Numerous significant studies and books by Austrian and Hungarian authors focus solely on either the Austrian or Hungarian part of the Monarchy (Beluszky 2005;Dányi 2000;Dövényi 2001;Fassmann 1986;Fassmann 1999;Hanák 1975;Komlosy 2003;Mikoletzky 1992;Puskás 1990;Steidl et al 2007;Zöllner 1998).…”

Constellations of Scarcity on the Viennese Housing Market. Relevant Factors and Negotiation Processes from the Perspective of Housing Seekers Using Vienna as an example, the article develops a differentiated view of scarcity in the housing market that goes beyond a general consideration of the relationship between supply and demand or its focus on issues of affordability or formal accessibility. In addition to looking at housing supply and access regulations, it focuses on the demand side through a qualitative analysis of the experiences of people looking for housing, presented in explorative case studies, asking for whom and due to what factors housing is scarce. The results suggest that the socio-cultural resources of housing seekers, such as origin and language, knowledge of the housing market, housing search practices and strategies, and time invested in housing search, are additional factors influencing scarcity that have only been marginally considered. At the same time, the paper shows that the way in which housing needs are manifested as demand in a housing market through the actions of housing seekers is the result of complex negotiations and trade-offs that take place against the background of subjective assessments of scarcity in parts of the housing market and experiences of one's own opportunities in this context.
