Semi-Periphery of Academic Knowledge Production. Global Disadvantages and Breakthrough Opportunities from a CEE and Domestic Perspective

Summary/Abstract: In this study, we formulate a critique of both 1) the central academic internationalization processes that reproduce global disparities and mostly ignore the general discrimination against peripheral and semi-peripheral regions, and 2) the non-transparent and often informal domestic academic assessment processes (contrasted to the good practices of the Spanish ANECA and the Polish IDUB), that impede the integration into the international research community, hinder the competitiveness of local HEIs, and render the carrier paths of individual, and especially young, researchers unpredictable. By combining these two critical perspectives, we argue that – although they often appear in domestic academic discourse as opposing narratives – criticism of global inequalities and urging self-critical renewal are not contradictory notions, rather, they mark two interrelated sides of a single dynamic that helps bring about actual change.
