How to cope with the rise of populism in Europe
Since its early beginnings Europe is facing the most dramatic challenges, caused by the uprise of nationalistic and populistic movements and parties. This issue is quite timely as – at the time thi

Social Innovation – a complex subject to deal with
Innovation
Thirty years ago, our journal was discussing the concept of “innovation”. At that time, innovation was understood as a merely technological issue. To challenge this traditional understanding our jo
A thank you note and a farewell to our colleagues to whom we owe our success
It all began in Cracow in the 1980s: Jan Jerschina, Professor of Sociology of Education at the Jagiellonian University of Krakow, was organizing an annual one week’s event dedicated to current poli
On the future of social sciences and humanities – a pragmatic perspective
Back to the future? From pragmatic approaches in the social sciences to the development of the patchwork theory
The debate on the function of the social sciences in complex societies, and more generally of the role of knowledge, leads necessarily to a discussion on pragmatism. The gap between theoretical approaches and empirical research still exists and has even widened, in part as a result of the use and abuse of social science knowledge in politics and by the media. However, the academic system is equally to blame for this. Mutual ignorance and scholast…

Europe facing globalisation
In an earlier issue I discussed an important editorial question: should a journal focus on special issues, or rather, on open ones? Scientific journals follow different strategies. From its very be

Multi-level governance, technological intervention, and globalization
This article examines the intensification of development cooperation in the field of biogenetic fuels, in particular bioethanol, in light of increasing knowledge on the positive and negative impacts of biofuel production and use. Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, biofuels made from biomass have become an important alternative nonfossil energy source in the EU, improving the CO2 balance, ensuring competitiveness and increasing the s…
Why bother with interdisciplinarity in the social and human sciences
What future for the European social sciences and humanities?1
This article aims to contribute to the literature on sociology of the social sciences, or, in a broader context, to the sociology of knowledge in the tradition of Karl Mannheim. Its main argument is that the future of the social sciences and the humanities depends on two interrelated dimensions: the development of the disciplinary state of the art and openness towards other disciplines, stakeholders and the society at large. Social sciences and t…

The project examined the impact of the European research programmes on research policies against the background of multi-level governance, on key research actors such as universities and research organizations as well as on research collaboration and networkin…
Challenges to Eu Political Integration and the Role of Democratization1
The European Union project of political integration faces three main challenges. The first concerns the constitutional make-up of the European Union as a political system. Key here is the role of subsidiarity and the question of statehood. The second challenge has to do with the opportunity structures for participation in a multilevel and supra-national context of governance. The third challenge is that of political identity. In the contemporary …

Towards monopolisation and re‐nationalisation of European social science research? Some critical remarks on the 6 th Framework Programme
With the launching in December 2002 of the first calls of the “6 th Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities, contributing to the creation of the European Research Area and to innovation (2002 to 2006)”, it is very timely to have a critical look at its reality and its potential impact on the European Research Area, in particular with respect to the social sciences. It is ar…

The Making of the European Research Area--a View from Research Networks
The aim of this contribution is to look at the impact of European research policies on the European Research Area. In 2000, during the preparation of the Sixth Framework Programme for RTD, the Commission published a communication calling for the creation of this area. There are, however, good reasons to think that the European Research Area existed already prior to this communication and, not least, as a result of the five Framework Programmes th…

Income analysis and social inclusion policies
When studying income, especially as an indicator of ‘social capital’ and with reference to social exclusion—or alternatively for judging the degree of social integration—it is important to be aware of the context of investigation as much as of the role of income in the lives of households and/or individuals. The aim of this article is to discuss income as an indicator of social integration by using comparative data from a select number of Europea…
Moving beyond aid
The events surrounding the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989 represented a watershed for the research and technological development (RTD) co‐operation activities of the European Union/ European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries with the Central and Eastern European and Baltic states (CEBS). In a first phase one could find some non‐targeted and exploratory type of RTD co‐operation activities, quite often in line with strategies aiming at keeping the…

The present article delineates the parallel and complex processes of integration and disintegration under way in both Eastern and Western Europe. By drawing attention to the interrelatedness and consequent long‐ranging implications of these transformational processes, the author calls for a re‐evaluation of the role of Western aid to Eastern Europe as well as of that of the intellectuals

The internal logic and contradictions of migration control
The migration problem has acquired a new dimension with the breakdown of State‐Communism which has induced new and variable waves of migration out of Eastern Europe. The response of the West to these waves, as well as to the ever‐increasing likelihood of emigration from countries of the Third World has been one of mounting regulation. The present article critically juxtaposes the underlying, albeit short‐term, logic of regulation with that of Eas…

Between Society, politics and the market
The present article looks at the challenge posed by the process of internationalization for the social sciences and examines the structural constraints on the development of adequate comparative social‐scientific research. The comparative advantages and disadvantages of universities, consultants and the professionalized research sector respectively are discussed. A model of networking is proposed as one that entails the main potential for develop…
Black card’ or rational bargaining strategies? On the difficulties involved in mastering technology effects by means of interactive processes
The present paper has two objectives in mind: On the one hand, it attempts to present and clarify the attitudes of the Austrian population on ecological issues. On the other hand, its second objective is to explicate, via a documentation and discourse analysis of a discussion on the ‘social compatibility’ of the location of radioactive waste disposal sites, how the notion of ‘social impact assessment’ ought to be interpreted as a strategic game a…
