Abstract
Various aspects of the Latvian higher education sector have been the target of reforms in the last decades, including, more recently, the framework for academic careers. Due to its hybrid higher education tradition that contains elements from different development phases and the close links of its current reforms to European higher education trends, Latvia represents a particularly interesting case of reform dynamics. Based on insights gathered during a succession of advisory services for the Latvian government, this chapter analyses the status quo and recent developments in the areas of the doctorate and postdoctorate, the recruitment and promotion of academics, and remuneration and incentive systems. For each of the three areas, it highlights the complex interplay of reform intentions, traditions within the sector and key framework conditions, specifically the combination of a high degree of institutional autonomy, specific system-level regulations and the scarcity of funding for the sector.
