From bench to Brussels and back
Personalized medicine (PM) has emerged as both a major scientific endeavor and a strategic policy priority in the European Union (EU). Drawing on discourse theory and the science and technology studies concept of co-production, we use PM as a case of a co-produced scientific and policy project to examine not only how scientific advances shape policy agendas but also how EU political priorities, funding programs, and governance frameworks shape th…
Resisting domestic and external pressure towards de-Europeanization of foreign policy? The case of Estonia
Up to 2019, Estonia’s EU policy and foreign policy were based on a strong domestic political consensus. From April 2019 to January 2021, Estonia was led by a government coalition including a Eurosceptic populist party, which brought visible cracks to this consensus. The coalition agreement assured continuity in Estonia’s foreign and EU policies, but the statements of some representatives of the coalition repeatedly brought this into question. Dur…
Domesticating the future
Citizen’s income is an idea that is currently gaining ground in many parts of the world. The prospect of disappearing jobs and social exclusion that the globalized world faces has given the idea of guaranteed income a new urgency. This article is a pilot sociological study of the citizen’s income discussion in post-socialist Estonia. The article is based on qualitative research: interviews with experts from different fields and an analysis of pri…
Civic Sectors in Transformation and Beyond
The paper presents a comparative analysis of the recent developments in the civil societies in six Central and East European (CEE) countries: the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. Focusing on the level of civil society organizations (CSO), it first discusses the changes in their role as social actors and co-operation within the civic sector itself. Second, it examines the process of civic–public sector partnership co…
Ethics and Public Good in a Transforming State
After Estonia's systemic change and restored independence in 1991, Estonian civil servants must re‐conceptualise their relationships with other spheres of society and with what they see as the ‘Public Good’. They are involved in the adoption and creation of new value judgments, professional identities and views of ethical and unethical conduct. This article presents an empirical examination of these processes. Carried out from June 2005 to Januar…
The Structure and Resources of NGOs in Estonia
The paper examines the present state of voluntary associations in Estonia—their resources and fields of activity. First, the paper discusses two possible functions of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in the postsocialist social change: the opening up of participation channels complementary to those of representative democracy and the support to the state in fulfilling social welfare functions. A view stressing the latter function of the volun…
