The study aims to characterize the general tendency of centre-right and catholic-conservative government of the austrian chancellor Josef Klaus towrds the technocratic policy in the 1960s. The Neothomist idea of objective and universal Order expressed in the rule of law and civil society, the politics of western personalism as well as image of american-style management seems alltogether to be the major inspirational sources for the austrian technocratic policy in the era. My study recognize the political purpose and benefits of this policy, but also define its very limits and its incapacity to move beyond over shadows of austrian history and to shift the austrian public life to the form of so called "open society" based on dialogue and critique.
