abstract
History of Higher Education in Czechoslovakia after 1945. Issues and Unanswered Questions This article highlights a significant gap in Czech research on the history of universities and other institutes of higher education post-1945. Domestic research has a tendency to view Czech developments in isolation from the rest of Europe. Using as example select issues (focus on mass education, technology, regionalisation, professional character of management, and internationalisation of universities), it is shown that various tendencies in Czechoslovakia were almost identical to developments in Western countries, though what one can observe in Czechoslovakia are various shifts in the timing of changes and, above all, in ideology. Each of the areas treated implies a number of questions which, in author’s opinion, open a new perspective and would merit further research.
