Political science in Central and Eastern Europe: integration with limited convergence in Czechia.

Abstract
This article discusses the integration of scholars from Central and Eastern Europe
(CEE) into the broader field of European political science. Evaluating data from
2000 to 2020, we ask whether CEE scholars managed to “close the gap” stemming from the initially underdeveloped state of post-communist political science.
We contend that the results are rather mixed: CEE scholars have been increasingly
present, yet achieved only very limited access to the top levels and mostly remain
in a position of dependency. Using the case of Czechia, we discuss the factors that
have likely contributed to the perpetuation of this state of integration with limited
convergence.
