Magyar protokoloniális kaland a századfordulós Albániában

Until recently, research of the Austro-Hungarian colonial past was almost a taboo subject for Austrian and Hungarian historiography. It did not fit into the former self-image of the Dual Monarchy to present itself as a colonial power. After 1918, the national historiographies and political elites of the successor states of the Danube Empire denied the possibility of a colonial past even more vehemently than the former Kakanian propaganda. Present study reconstructs the conditions under which Count Imre Keglevich rented and cultivated thousands of hectares of land in the first half of the 1890s on the Eastern coast of the Adriatic, in the areas of the Ottoman Empire populated by Albanians. In addition to Keglevich's ambitions, I also present the history of the Albanian landowner Vlora family, who leased their land, and who later became allies of Austro-Hungarian foreign policy. I analyze the Albanian adventures of György Berzeviczy, a Hungarian nobleman who visited Keglevich, and I finally give a colonial interpretation of this series of events explored from three perspectives based on international parallels and archival sources. The adventure of Keglevich was a typical proto-colonial story with indirect colonial consequences. The research of the so-called proto-colonial histories is an integral part of international colonialism research. The scrutiny of the proto-colonial aspirations and activities is also unavoidable in the case of Austria-Hungary. Present study is a contribution to this research field

Die Internationale KOntrollkommission Albaniens und die albanischen Machtzentren (1913/1914). Beitrag zur Geschichte der Staatsbildung Albaniens

The Albanian International Commission of Control and the Albanian power centres (1913–1914) – Contribution to the history of the state-building process in Albania The best guarantee of protecting the rights of Christian minorities on the European territory of the Ottoman Empire in the late 19th century was nothing else, but the establishing of own nation-states, where the Christian population could lead his life without being ruled or controlled by the Ottoman Empire. This process was aided and assisted by the Great Powers. It means, that one form of the humanitarian intervention was the state-building instructed or assisted from abroad. One of the unexpected experiences of the Balkan Wars 1912-1913 was that the members of the Balkan League committed genocides and other kinds of mass violence against other Nationalities and the Muslim population of the peninsula. Among other things the Albanian state-building project of the Great Powers aimed to prevent further genocide and other acts of violence against the Albanian population and other refugees from Macedonia and to put an end to the anarchy of the country. The main international organisation to directly represent the great powers in the new Albania and to be responsible for the state-building process was the International Commission of Control
