Her work—before the Nobel Prize announcement largely unknown outside the German-speaking world, —resembles that of acclaimed Austrian playwright Thomas Bernhard: the pathology of destruction and its concomitant comedic abrogation. Nevertheless Jelinek's writing is deeply rooted in the tradition of Austrian literature. At its best it combines Robert Musil's sadness and Franz Kafka's sense of humor. Jelinek's political philosophy, in particular her stance regarding feminism and her views regarding Austria's political parties, is of ...

Populism - Classical populism. The word populism is derived from the Latin word populus, which means people in English (in the sense of "I will govern for the people", not in the sense of "There are people visiting us today").

This is in contrast to elitism, aristocracy, or plutocracy, each of which is an ideology that espouse government by a small, privi ...

Since deception is the whole purpose of employing a political decoy, there are many instances of alleged decoying which remain uncertain. Joe R. Reeder, an undersecretary for the U.S. Army from 1993 to 1997, has gone on record with claims that a number of figures around the world have or have had decoys, including Manuel Noriega, Raoul Cédras, Enver Hoxha, Fidel Castro and Osama bin Laden [9]. Of Noriega's alleged four decoys, Reeder said: "They were good. They practiced his gait, his manner of speech and hi ...

In the 1999 parliamentary election, the FPÖ received 27% of the votes, more than in any election before; by a small margin (about 400 votes, with 4.6 million Austrians voting) they even beat the ÖVP (the conservative "People's Party"), which had until then always taken first or second place in national elections. In early 2000, the FPÖ joined a coalition government with Wolfgang Schüssel's ÖVP. The Freedom Party had to take a junior part in the coalition, as otherwise the ÖVP would have continued their coalition with the SPÖ. T ...
