This article contributes to the debate about the impact of the transition on subjective well-being. After reviewing the relevant literature the authors draw on the surveys of the European Values Study of 1991, 1999 and 2008 to describe the trends in life satisfaction in 13 Western and 11 Eastern countries. The analysis finds that life satisfaction levels in transition countries have come to approach those in the West: the ‘rather unhappy’ 1990s were followed by the ‘rather happy’ 2000s.

Indikátory obav z kriminality v českých sociálněvědních výzkumech

While fear of crime is frequently discussed internationally, it is currently addressed by only a limited number of Czech studies. The aim of the paper is to present the main methodological concepts that have influenced the research on fear of crime and the design of indicators by which this phenomenon is measured. Furthermore, we evaluate and compare fear of crime measures in three surveys – the Euro-Justis pilot project, the fifth wave of the large-scale international European Social Survey and a survey of …

This article aims to describe the circumstances under which people´s willingness to cooperate with the police is enhanced. Recent studies show that public compliance and cooperation with authorities who carry out criminal proceedings are linked with the extent to which people perceive these authorities…

Hegel a perspektiva dialektického pojmu zkušenosti

Cílem článku je prozkoumat Hegelovu koncepci dialektiky a určit, které její prvky pronikají do pozice hermeneutické fenomenologie, v níž se, zvláště díky H.-G. Gadamerovi, pojem dialektičnosti zkušenosti stal důležitou součástí teorie rozumění. Článek vychází z přesvědčení, že motivy platónské dialektiky působí v hermeneutice společně s motivy Hegelovy dialektiky, jež svůj smysl čerpají z vývojové souvislosti moderní filozofie. V článku se proto jak Hegelovou kon…

I would take any job, but…: Biographies of low-educated women at the intersection of class and gender

The paper analyses the biographies of women at the intersection of class and gender in the Czech Republic. With the transition towards a market-based economy and a decrease in the symbolic capital of workers in the blue-collar and service fields, and in the context of a familialist social policy and a labour market that discourages a combination of paid employment and care responsibilities, women with low education find themselves in the secondary labour market and exposed to gender discrimination. We illustra…
