Abstract

Abstract The Velvet Revolution in 1989 did not represent only a fundamental change of the political regime, but also the beginnings of contemporary Czech study of public policy and policy expertise. This article aims to present its significant institutional aspects on the basis of a systematic analysis drawing on deLeon, Trent and Stein’s models of (sub)discipline development. It assumes that the development of a field of study is driven by the interaction between its inner dynamics and the surrounding environment (society, state and international academic community). The article identifies three dominant approaches in the configuration of the Czech field - Prague public policy, Brno political science and Brno social policy - and it focuses on their supporting infrastructure, frames of reference and contacts with the international academic community. Finally, it outlines the study’s development stages, revealing that Czech study of public has been quickly catching up with its Western counterparts.

三种主流研究视角下的捷克公共政策研究

1989年的天鹅绒革命不仅代表了政治制度的根本变革，也是当代捷克公共政策和政策专业知识研究的开端。本文旨在通过对deLeon, Trent和Stein的(子)学科发展模型的系统分析，呈现其重要的制度方面。它假设一个研究领域的发展是由其内部动力与周围环境(社会、国家和国际学术界)之间的相互作用所驱动的。本文确定了捷克领域结构中的三种主要方法——布拉格公共政策、布尔诺政治科学和布尔诺社会政策——并着重于它们的支持基础设施、参考框架以及与国际学术界的联系。最后，概述了该研究的发展阶段，揭示了捷克的公共研究已经迅速赶上了西方同行。

期刊介绍： The Central European Journal of Public Policy (CEJPP) is an open-access, multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal with primary focus upon analytical, theoretical and methodological articles in the field of public policy. The journal does not have article processing charges (APCs) nor article submission charges. The aim of the CEJPP is to provide academic scholars and professionals in different policy fields with the latest theoretical and methodological advancements in public policy supported by sound empirical research. The CEJPP addresses all topics of public policy including social services and healthcare, environmental protection, education, labour market, immigration, security, public financing and budgeting, administrative reform, performance measurements, governance and others. It attempts to find a balance between description, explanation and evaluation of public policies and encourages a wide range of social science approaches, both qualitative and quantitative. Although the journal focuses primarily upon Central Europe, relevant contributions from other geographical areas are also welcomed in order to enhance public policy research in Central Europe.
