    POLITICS OF THE LESSER EVIL
    ANTON PELINKA
    In his pathbreaking book, Leadership, James MacGregor Burns defines a kind of leadership with an indistinguishable personal impact on society. He calls this "transformal" leadership, and sees it as more than routine and calculable responses to demands. In fact, he argues, the more stable a liberal democracy, the less freedom of action for transformal leadership. Anton Pelinka u...

Established by former Nazis for former Nazis, the FPOe entered the mainstream of Austrian politics when i...
