Defining Subversion. Policing Politics in Austria 1918-1955


MacNeill-PhotoThis project examines the policing of politics in Austria from 1918 to 1955 under the successive democratic, authoritarian, Nazi, and Allied occupation governments. Lindsay MacNeill is especially interested in how Austrian police forces defined and policed subversion under these different ideological regimes. The policing of politics is often understood as something that uniquely reflects the political ideology of a given regime. MacNeill seeks to challenge this view by examining the ways in which certain continuities in police behaviours, beliefs, and assumptions existed across national borders and continued despite regime change.
