The Legacy Of The Social Democratic Party Of Austria Sp A Dictatorial Party Facilitating Abuse Of Power Bureaucratic Despotism And Violations Of Human Rights In The Republic Of Austria

The SP Party has governed Vienna - and Austria on a national level - for a few years since 1946. The SP Party is also responsible for facilitating mediocrity, victimisation and violation of human rights in Austria. This includes victimisation of clients at the Social Welfare Department and the Public Employment Service in Vienna (AMS); as well as the Department of Families - the author having conducted observational studies within these departments. Being shielded by the SP Party, bureaucrats in the Vienna magistrates are not held accountable when victimising marginalized people and clients; abusing their power at their disgression - so this evidence-based study concludes. Social challenges - such as abuse of power, bureaucratic despotism and solidarity deficit within the SP - are also explored in this evidence-based study; so that basic human rights can be restored in Austria. It should also be noted, that the SP Party's contribution to global gender equality and global peacebuilding is absolute zero

Freedom in the World, the Freedom House flagship survey whose findings have been published annually since 1972, is the standard-setting comparative assessment of global political rights and civil liberties. The survey ratings and narrative reports on 192 countries and a group of select territories are used by policy makers, the media, international corporations, and civic activists and human rights defenders to monitor trends in democracy and track improvements and setbacks in freedom worldwide. Press accounts of the survey findings appear in hundreds of influential newspapers in the United States and abroad and form the basis of numerous radio and television reports. The Freedom in the World political rights and civil liberties ratings are determined through a multi-layered process of research and evaluation by a team of regional analysts and eminent scholars. The analysts used a broad range of sources of information, including foreign and domestic news reports, academic studies, nongovernmental organizations, think tanks, individual professional contacts, and visits to the region, in conducting their research. The methodology of the survey is derived in large measure from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and these standards are applied to all countries and territories, irrespective of geographical location, ethnic or religious composition, or level of economic development.

This book provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the five main parties of the extreme right in the Netherlands (Centrumdemocraten, Centrumpartij), Belgium (Vlaams Blok), and Germany (Die Republikaner, Deutsche Volksunion). Using primary research - including internal party documents - it concludes that rather than right-wing and extremist, the core ideology of these parties is xenophobic nationalist, including also a mix of law and order and welfare chauvinism. The author's research and conclusions have broader implications for the study of the extreme-right phenomenon and party ideology in general.
