Central European Journal of Public Policy

Central European Journal of Public Policy

Frequency: 2 issues / Country: Czech Republic

The CEJPP is an open-access, peer-reviewed on-line journal published in English twice a year. Its aim 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 civil society, social services and healthcare, environmental protection, education, labour market, immigration, security, public financing and budgeting, administrative reform, performance measurements, governance and others. It is a multidisciplinary and public problems oriented journal which attempts to find a balance between description, explanation and evaluation of public policies and that 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 encouraged in order to enhance public policy research in Central Europe.

ALPPI Annual of Language & Politics and Politics of Identity

ALPPI Annual of Language & Politics and Politics of Identity

Frequency: 1 issues / Country: Czech Republic

Since 2017 the publishing of the journal under the title ALPPI Annual of Language & Politics and Politics of Identity has been ended. It continues as the Journal of Nationalism, Memory & Language Politics.

ALPPI is designed as an interdisciplinary bridge between the research of language policy and political identities and as a means of providing fresh insights to the ever changing cultural and linguistic diversity in today’s world. Such topics are major concern to many scientists, artists, writers, politicians, leaders of linguistic communities, and defenders of linguistic human rights. ALPPI contributes to the growth of the field by publishing high-quality studies that help build a sound theoretical understanding of the subject area. It presents papers that deal with the widest range of cases, situations and regions.

Media Studies

Mediální studia

Frequency: 2 issues / Country: Czech Republic

Mediální studia / Media Studies is a peer-reviewed journal based in disciplines of media and communication studies. Nonetheless, it also is open to contributions from close research fields such as cultural studies, sociology, social and cultural anthropology, gender studies, or linguistics. We publish original research papers investigating media texts, or mechanisms of their production or ways of their reception.

We especially welcome papers focused upon media in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe which do not separate the region from its wider social or political ties. We endeavour to emphasise the dynamics of local-global knowledge on media and its mutual connections. Also for these reasons, we prefer texts written in English. In exceptional cases, however, we publish also manuscripts in Czech or Slovak.

Journal of Nationalism, Memory & Language Politics

Journal of Nationalism, Memory & Language Politics

Frequency: 2 issues / Country: Czech Republic

Journal of Nationalism, Memory & Language Politics is a peer-reviewed journal published by De Gruyter on behalf of the Charles University.

Journal of Nationalism, Memory & Language Politics follows the publication of the journal ALPPI Annual of Language & Politics and Politics of Identity.

It is committed to exploring divergent scholarly opinions, research and theories of current international academic experts, and is a forum for discussion and hopes to encourage free-thinking and debate among academics, young researchers and professionals over issues of importance to the politics of identity and memory as well as the political dimensions of language policy in the 20th and 21st centuries.

We encourage research articles that employ qualitative or quantitative methodologies as well as empirical historical analyses regarding, but not limited to, the following issues:

• Trends in nationalist development, whether historical or contemporary
• Policies regarding national and international institutions of memory as well as investigations into the creation and/or dissemination of cultural memory
• The implementation and political repercussions of language policies in various regional and global contexts
• The formation, cohesion and perseverance of national or regional identity along with the relationships between minority and majority populations
• The role ethnicity plays in nationalism and national identity
• How the issue of victimhood contributes to national or regional self-perception

Priority is given to issues pertaining to the 20th and 21st century political developments

While our focus is on empirical articles, our scope remains open to exceptional theoretical works (especially if they incorporate empirical research), book reviews and translations.
