Abstract
Assimilation versus Cultural Autonomy: The Struggle for the Czech and Slovak Minority Rights in Austria in the 20th Century
Highlights
From the end of the WWI in 1918, ethnic or national minorities were seen as a potential danger for keeping the peace
Austrian national law (Nationalitätenrecht) was ahead of its time, and it has become clear today that concepts such as minority, autonomy and individual versus collective rights were addressed by legislation and discussed in both parts of the monarchy as early as the second half of the 19th century.[3]
After the split of Czech-Slovakia in 1993, the Slovak minority council (Volksgruppenbeirat) was created at the Austrian Ministry of the Interior, and in the same year Slovaks were recognized as a independent national minority (Volksgruppe).[21]
