Chambers in Austria
October 2017, Alexander Ackerl BA, Mag.a Susanne Halmer BA, MMag.a Barbara Hauenschild, 28 pages
Chambers are organized in Austria as public corporations and specifically enshrined in the constitution, which is unique in the world. Their task is the representation of interests of the respective occupational group with respect to other interest groups and the state, also in the context of Austria's "social partnership". There have been many calls for reform in recent years. In particular, the "forced membership" is criticized again and again.
