Czech Sociological Review 2005/4

Led by an international board, the biannual Czech Sociological Review is designed to assist the stronger integration of Czech sociology into the international mainstream, and to invite contributions from authors worldwide who are interested in 'transformation issues', introduce post-graduate students from abroad to the local and regional public and inform the international community about Czech and CEE social research. Articles are selected especially according to how they contribute to the study of the Czech and CEE societies, how they develop special 'transition' methodology and analysis, how they present new dimensions and facets of transformation and how they form a bridge between CEE, European and world sociology. The journal also publishes reviews of books concerned with transition research and related news in the field. Some thematic issues concentrate on specific areas, such as education, the labour market, demographic development and political research. The journal is the only Czech periodical which is quoted in the publications of the Institute of Scientific Information and other social science databases.
