%X "In the June 2002 issue of International Sociology, Christian Fleck published a report
on the Austrian Sociological Association (OeGS) which was very critical of that
association and the achievements of Austrian sociology in general. In this paper, we
argue that this was a rather one-sided view. We show that the OeGS and its members
have been very active in fostering international contacts with sociologists from
neighbouring countries (Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland), by
organising common congresses and workshops, and publishing books. In the Eighties,
one of the most important achievements – comitted by Fleck - was the initiation of the
European Sociological Association and the organisation of the first European
Congress of Sociology in Vienna in 1992. Fleck not only disparages the achievement
of Austrian sociology in the Sixties and Seventies, but even more so those in the
Eighties and Nineties. Between 1950 and 2002, Austrian sociologists have published
nearly 1200 books (Haller 2004) thus contributing significantly to the establishment
of sociological research and thinking about contemporary Austrian society." (author's abstract)
