Life

Anton Pelinka was born in Vienna in 1941 in "attached" Austria; his father's family (an insurance employee) had Czech roots, his mother's German ( Westphalia ). Although relatives were quite inclined to National Socialism, he came from a conservative family home, which was initially “anti-Marxist”, later “anti-Nazi”.

There he was influenced by the Austrian-American sociologist Paul Lazarsfeld with his election research . In 1966/67 he was the editor of the Catholic-oriented weekly newspaper Die Furche , headed by Kurt Skalnik at the time , based in Vienna; in the editorial team he was one of the more progressive journalists.

In 1975 he was appointed full professor for political science at the University of Innsbruck .

From 1993 to 2006 he was co-editor of the joint project Contemporary Austrian Studies at the University of New Orleans / University of Innsbruck. From 2004 to 2006 he was dean of the recently founded Faculty of Political Science and Sociology at the University of Innsbruck; his successor was the political scientist Fritz Plasser . He then joined a private university in the English-language Budapest Central European , where he has since the Department of Political Science Studies as professor in the Nationalism Studies Program ( Nationalism Studies teaches).

From 1990 to 2012 he took over the scientific management of the Institute for Conflict Research (IKF) in Vienna, which specializes in the interdisciplinary research of “political, social and individual conflicts”; his successor was Birgitt Haller . From 1994 to 1997 he was the Austrian representative in the European Commission against Racism and Xenophobia . In addition, he was the founding director of the Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies in Vienna , but then resigned from his position in 2009 due to differences of opinion with the Vienna Jewish Community . Until 2012 he was chairman of the scientific advisory board at the Sir Peter Ustinov Institute , which conducts prejudice research . Furthermore he was u. a. Member of the following advisory boards: Yearbook for Islamophobia Research , Journal for Comparative Political Science and Information on Political Education (Austria) as well as “Project Gedenk- und Lernort Äußeres Burgtor ” for the redesign of the Austrian hero monument. In Austria he is jointly responsible for the coordination of the magazine for parliamentary questions . He is currently chairman of the Society for Political Enlightenment (GfpA), which was founded in 1982 and is committed to “promoting the quality of Austrian democracy”. In 2009 he became a member of the Commission for Comparative Media and Communication Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences . In addition, he is u. a. Member of the Austrian Society for Political Science (ÖGPW) and the American Political Science Association (APSA); he was one of the founding members of the ÖGPW and chaired it in 1970/71 and 1984/85. He later became an honorary member of the ÖGPW. He is also a member of the advisory board of Austrian Gay Professionals .

In addition to his scientific work and his honorary posts, Pelinka also appears as a commentator in German-language media ( profil , Der Standard and Die Zeit as well as ORF, among others). Pelinka is politically independent. He has not yet made any election recommendations; only in the national elections in Austria in 1994 did he give the impression that one vote for the Liberal Forum could be one against Haider. Pelinka was one of those well-known scientists who had been repeatedly "attacked" by the FPÖ under Jörg Haider in a defamatory and propagandistic manner. After he accused Haider on Italian television of playing down National Socialism in 1999 , he was sued by Haider, Governor of Carinthia . In the legal dispute, Pelinka was acquitted in the last instance after a judgment of the Higher Regional Court of Vienna on March 21, 2001 of the accusation of defamation . The contemporary historian Michael Gehler assessed the course of the process as "walking a tightrope in connection with maintaining the freedom of (political) science in Austria".

From 2018 to 2023 he is a member of the University Council of the University of Innsbruck .

Pelinka married the journalist Marta (* 1947), b. Marková, and has one child. He is a brother of the journalist Peter Pelinka , former editor-in-chief of the news magazine News and Format , and the uncle of Niko Pelinka .

Research and Teaching

Pelinka's focus is on democracy theory , political system and political culture in Austria and comparative party and association research. Concerning Austria (and beyond) he is a sought-after expert on the topics of right-wing extremism (including the author of the DÖW collections Right-Wing Extremism in Austria after 1945 and the Handbook of Austrian Right-Wing Extremism and the Handbook of German Right-Wing Extremism ) and xenophobia in society.

He is considered a central figure and "synonym" of Innsbruck political science. According to Innsbruck political scientists Ferdinand Karlhofer and Fritz Plasser , Pelinka “made a decisive contribution to the visibility and attractiveness of the location”. The political scientist Andrei S. Markovits and the contemporary historian Anson Rabinbach call him: “Austria's leading political scientist”. Other scholars, such as the historian Bruce F. Pauley, judge its importance similarly.

His academic students include: a. Clemens Heni , Andreas Maislinger , Gerhard Mangott and Hubert Sickinger .

plant

In many publications, Pelinka deals with his main research areas, above all with the Austrian political system .

He depicts the changes in Austrian society on a historical level in his book Five Questions for Three Generations. The anti-Semitism and we today. to. In contrast, he also analyzed outstanding stages in Austria's politics, such as the upswing of the FPÖ and its then chairman Jörg Haider, in The Haider Phenomenon (2001). In other publications he clarifies the influence of parties as well as economic, social and cultural factors on society .

Example: On the glamor and misery of the parties (2005):

  • Investigation of the importance of parties for democracy

Austrian politics over the past 50 years has been shaped to a particularly high degree by parties.

His stay in New Delhi motivated him to question the democracy of India ( Democracy in India. Subhas Chandra Bose and the becoming of political culture , 2005) - because despite the classification as a developing country there has been a surprisingly stable, functioning democracy in this state for decades - the largest in the world in terms of population. He analyzes these with a view to the history of the country, especially since independence, as well as the influence of the diverse cultural currents.

Various publications on comparative party and association research have also appeared, which mainly serve as an introduction to this branch of political science. Example: Comparison of political systems (2005):
