This volume offers some answers through the case study of the relationship between two quite different states during the Cold War era - Austria, a small neutral country, and the United States, the reigning superpower. The authors challenge naive notions of cultural diffusion that posit the submission of small "peripheral" areas to the dictates of hegemonic powers at the "core." "Americanization" has no doubt taken place since 1945; however, local forces crucially shaped this process, and Austrian elites enjoyed considerable leeway in pursuing "Austrian" political objectives. On the other hand, with the expulsion of Vienna's cultural and intellectual elite after the Anschluß, the United States, more than any othercountry, became heir to the rich cultural legacy of "Vienna 1900," which profoundly shaped politics and culture in both its "high" and popular forms in postwar America. The relationship climaxed and came full circle with the unfolding of the Waldheim affair, which forced Americans and Austrians to reinterpret the meaning of the Nazi era for their own history in a confrontation with the "other." 410 0$aAustrian history, culture, and society ;$vVolume 2. 606 $aCulture diffusion$zAustria 606 $aCulture diffusion$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical culture$zAustria 606 $aPolitical culture$zUnited States 606 $aNational socialism$xPsychological aspects 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zAustria 607 $aAustria$xCivilization$xAmerican influences 607 $aAustria$xRelations$zUnited States 615 0$aCulture diffusion 615 0$aCulture diffusion 615 0$aPolitical culture 615 0$aPolitical culture 615 0$aNational socialism$xPsychological aspects. 676 $a306/.09436 702 $aGood$b David F. 702 $aWodak$b Ruth$f1950- 712 02$aUniversity of Minnesota.$bCenter for Austrian Studies. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798157503321 996 $aFrom World War to Waldheim$93707532 997 $aUNINA
