ABSTRACT

Austria's security architecture has changed significantly following the end of the Cold War. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the country's accession to the EU in 1995, and the Yugoslav Wars in the 1990s led to a re-calibration of the Austrian understanding of foreign and security policy. As a result, Austria became more engaged in international peace-keeping operations and was interacting more with international organisations (EU, NATO-PfP). Austria became more and more engaged with EU CSDP, which de-facto undermined the country's neutrality, even if the neutrality issue keeps coming up at the level of political discourses. The public assessment of perceived threats is shifted from more traditional threat categories (e.g. crime) towards new security challenges (e.g. immigration), but in general, Austrians feel extraordinarily safe in comparison with other European nations.

摘要

冷战结束后，奥地利的安全架构发生了重大变化。1989年柏林墙的倒塌，该国1995年加入欧盟以及1990年代的南斯拉夫战争导致奥地利重新认识了对外交和安全政策的了解。结果，奥地利更加参与了国际维持和平行动，并与国际组织（欧盟，北约-PfP）进行了更多的互动。奥地利越来越多地与欧盟CSDP接触，这实际上破坏了该国的中立性，即使中立性问题不断在政治讨论中浮出水面。公众对感知到的威胁的评估已从更传统的威胁类别（例如犯罪）转变为新的安全挑战（例如移民），但总的来说，
