Open and Citizen Science in Light of New European Research Policies
This article discusses the meaning of open science, and in particular the concept of citizen science, in a broader socio-political and scientific context. The authors highlight the ambivalence of these concepts and the lack of critical reflection on the possible (unwanted) negative implications of the establishment of these ideas. The authors address these issues using an international comparative analysis based primarily on documentation and sec…
Social contacts and networks of refugees in the arrival context - Manifestations in a large city and in selected small and medium-sized towns
The integration of refugees with prospects of remaining in the country has noticeably shifted into the focus of public attention and is presently being addressed in numerous research projects as well. Our contribution aims to address the significance, which the various contacts or networks, respectively, hold for the integration of the refugees. Issues of particular interest are how contacts to friends and families are maintained, what role these…
Lost in transition”? Integration of refugees into the local housing market in Germany
The integration of a high number of refugees in Germany is intensely discussed in political and civil society. The aim of this article is to explore refugees’ paths into the housing market and the impact on refugees’ integration into urban society. For a comprehensive insight into the housing situation of the refugees, we have chosen the city of Cologne because it is one of the four largest German cities. To highlight different perspectives, we c…
The Future of Populism in a Comparative European and Global Context
This article deals with the recent rise of populist tendencies and their meaning in contemporary democracies within the EU, including Eastern Europe. It stresses the importance of two interrelated and interconnected processes that provide a fertile ground for the emergence of different types of populism – crisis of parliamentary multi-party democracy and pressures of supranational integration and globalisation. Populism has the ambition to addres…

Making the Transition
Regional innovation performance in light of social-capital research and application
The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the existing studies of social capital in the framework of regional innovation systems and attempt to answer the question of whether any new insights or methodological shifts have occurred in the last few (seven or so) years. The reconstruction of empirical findings reveals a rather ambiguous picture. It seems that only radical modification of research design and methods can give new impetu…
Varieties of capitalism in Eastern Europe (with special emphasis on Estonia and Slovenia)
The authors proceed from the assumption that the institutional and economic efficiency of a particular country (or society) depends on its historic legacy or ‘path-dependence’, strategic interactions of the elite and the impact of the international environment. Estonia and Slovenia are both — not only economically, but also institutionally — perceived as relatively successful and prominent post-communist countries and new members of the EU. Yet t…
Mapping social capital across Europe
Two sets of issues are elaborated and reflected on. The first one concerns the distribution of stocks of social capital across European (EU) nations. Using the conventional proxies like trust and associational involvement on the basis of data from cross-national surveys (European Values Study and European Social Survey as well as from Eurobarometer), the main tentative trends and patterns are outlined. The second set of issues refers to the quali…
Između neoliberalizma i neokorporativizma
Pocinjemo s tezom da institucionalna i ekonomska ucinkovitost neke države, odnosno drustva zavisi od povijesnog naslijeđa (path dependence), od strateskih interakcija elite te međunarodnog okruženja. Estonija i Slovenija važe ne samo kao gospodarski nego i institucionalno prodorne i relativno uspjesne postkomunisticke države, odnosno nove clanice Europske unije. Pa ipak, razvile su dva potpuno razlicita – u nekim bitnim vidicima cak i dijametraln…
A Grand Theory and a Small Social Scientific Community
Social Capital
The aim of this article is not only to provide an overview of the state of recent discussion about the concept of social capital, it is also an attempt at critical reflection on theoretical and empirical research efforts. The question is whether the concept of social capital is a fashionable (and short-lived) term proposed as a cure-all for the maladies affecting contemporary communities, organizations and societies as a whole or whether it has m…
Public Conceptions and Images of the European Union
The intention of this article is to show the way the conceptions and perceptions of (Western) Europe and the European Union (EU) are constructed and articulated by general public opinion as well as by political parties and intellectual circles in Slovenia as a candidate country for the accession into the EU. It is also discussed how the images concerning reference countries and the future position in the integration process are connected with the…
Elite (Re)configuration and Politico-economic Performance in Post-socialist Countries
POLITICAL ELITES IN POST-SOCIALIST SOCIETIES are made up of individuals and groups of various social and historical origins and ideological orientations: former dissidents of diverse provenance, more or less reformist members of the ex-communist nomenklatura, members of professional groups (so-called technocrats), people from the sphere of the Church and even some members of pre-war political elites.' According to some analysts, transitional poli…
