Housing Restitution and Privatisation: Both Catalysts and Obstacles to the Formation of Private Rental Housing in the Czech Republic and Estonia

The return of property expropriated during the communist period to previous owners or to their descendants (property restitution) led to the quick emergence of a private rental sector in many post-communist countries soon after 1990. This article compares the genesis of private rental tenure in the Czech Republic and Estonia. Its main goal is to demonstrate how state interventions have influenced tenure choice, the formation of social norms, and thus the permanent perception of private renting.…

The role of a credit trap on paths to homelessness in the Czech Republic

The paper aims to show the most common paths to homelessness in the Czech Republic. The theoretical approach applied in this paper attempts to move beyond the structure–agency debate by focusing on the characteristics that most homeless people share on their paths to homelessness. The paper reveals that the pervasiveness of consumer credit has often been a critical juncture on the pathway to homelessness, despite the assistance available from a strong welfare state.…

Genderová rovnost v evropské vědní politice: politická ekonomie strukturální změny

European science policy turned its attention to gender equality at the end of the 20th century, influencing to a smaller or greater extent three Framework Programmes supporting European research and technological development (the fifth, sixth and seventh). Gender equality is also an important component of the current negotiations of the next framework programme titled Horizon 2002 for the period 2013-2020. In this paper I analyse European policies of gender equality in science between 2008 and 2011. I ask what…

Překlad článku Genderové praktiky v konstrukci akademické excelence: Ovce s pěti nohama

Academic excellence is allegedly a universal and gender neutral standard of merit. This article examines exactly what is constructed as academic excellence at the micro-level, how evaluators operationalize this construct in the criteria they apply in academic evaluation, and how gender inequalities are imbued in the construction and evaluation of excellence. We challenge the view that the academic world is governed by the normative principle of meritocracy in its allocation of rewards and resources. Based on a…

„Vlastní laboratoř“: akademické trajektorie a gender v současných biovědách

Despite various changes in academic institutions and the academic profession in last two decades (Shore 2008 Dunn 2003 Power 2003), the academic environment is still organized around the notion of a linear, uninterrupted career path (Murray 2000 Smithon and Stokoe 2005) culminating with the launch of one’s own lab. Rather than a remnant of previous organizing principles of science the linear notion of the academic career has been reordered and reinscribed in the recent science policy imaginary of the excelle…

Public accountability and the politicization of science: The peculiar journey of Czech research assessment

In recent decades, research has undergone major changes, resulting in radical shifts in patterns of governance. In this process, external forms of research assessment have developed as a proxy for researchers’ and research institutions’ accountability to society. In this paper we focus on the developments of research assessment in the Czech Republic. First, we trace the trajectory of accountability measures in the socio-historical contexts of post-socialist science as a tool of not only evaluating but also…
