Proměny historických věd na nově vzniklých univerzitách v uplynulém dvacetiletí

This study pays attention to the changes of the institutional status of the Departments and Institutions of History at the newly founded universities over the recent two decades, namely at the universities in České Budějovice, Opava, Ostrava, Plzeň, Ústí nad Labem, Hradec Králové, Liberec and Pardubice. It takes note of the role of regions when searching for the thematic and methodological differentiation of individual workplaces. It does not overlook the professional importance of individual schools of thought; it also deals with the assessment of research results achieved and in particular with new conceptual initiatives, which resulted in comprehensive works on the history of early modern society, modernisation processes, women and gender.
