Thank you for posting Dr Lonnie Johnson's excellent essay on Austria's new coalition government and Joerg Haider. This is a most constructive contribution to the evaluation of recent political developments in Austria and the European Union.
For those of us who do not know him, could you provide a brief biographic sketch on Dr Johnson? Also, perhaps you would be good enough to also provide guidance on the acceptable way to cite this essay (and other works that appear on HABSBURG)?

Here is a brief biography of HABSBURG editorial board member Lonnie Johnson:
Lonnie Johnson is graduate of St. John's University in Minnesota (B.A) and the University of Vienna (Dr. phil). He has lived and worked in Vienna for the past 25 years in the fields of higher education, research, and academic exchange and currently is the executive director of the Austrian-American Educational Commission (Fulbright Commission) in Austria. He is the the author of Introducing Austria (Oesterreichischer Bundesverlag, 1987; Ariadne Press, 1989); Vienna: The Past in the Present (with Inge Lehne, second revised edition Oesterreichischer Bundesverlag and Ariadne Press, 1995); and most recently Central Europe: Enemies, Neighbors, Friends, (Oxford University Press, 1996). It was reviewed on HABSBURG by Maria Bucur: http://www.h-net.msu.edu/reviews/showrev.cgi?path=16645870357161. The ensuing HABSBURG forum on the book is linked under "comments" at the bottom of the review.
