Südtirol

The bomb attacks in 1967, which at last had a massive negative impact on the already sensitive Austrian-Italian relations at the time, are considered to represent the peak of the conflict in South Tyrol. The forty-fifth anniversary of these events was taken as opportunity to discuss the history and the present situation of the autonomous region with international experts at a conference at the Andrássy University Budapest. The focus of the conference was the transition of South Tyrol from an inter-European conflict case to a role model of peaceful conflict settlement and sustainable implementation of minority rights. The current edition, consisting of the papers presented at the conference, thematises the historical, political and societal aspects of the conflict and demonstrates perspectives of the region’s future developments.
