Our Group - the Branch of Political Leadership of the Austrian Political Science Association (AuPSA)

The Branch of Political Leadership within the Austrian Political Science Association originated in spring following the tri-state-meeting of the German, Suisse and Austrian political science associations in in Vienna. Core topic of the conference was "Politics und Personality".

The founding members were University-Professor Othmar Höll, Ph.d, Regina Jankowitsch, Ph.d, Sigrid Rosenberger M.A. and Günther Burkert-Dottolo, Ph.d.

The task of the newly founded branch was - and remains to date - to support existing and to build further interconnections between the political sciences and the polity, in short strenghtening the ties between the scientific and the political community. The group is commited to work "internationally & interdisciplinarily".

Our Goals

We, as a group of political scientists, professionell political advisors and coaches, aim to put political leadership, a topic widely disregarded in the German-speaking world up until recently, on the public agenda. We want to encourage research in political leadership and nurture public and scientific discourse on the subject in order to raise awareness for the complex phenomenon of leadership within the political context.

In order to achieve above goals, we pose the following questions:

Crucial Questions Concerning Political Leadership

Definition of Political Leadership

Entering the controversial scientific debate on the concept of political leadership, we propose the following definition:

"Based on political context political leadership means the volition and ability of an individual or group to sustainably shape social processes, in adherence to human rights, common good prior to self interest and inclusion of all participants."
