Sažetak
In the last half century of comparative research, the development of housing has manifested
itself as an ambivalent and empirically hard-to-measure object of study. In time, researchers’
labour resulted in a threefold division between juxtapositional, convergence and divergence
paradigms. The divergence paradigm in which various “middle range theories“ are included
is the most developed paradigm in comparative housing studies at the moment and it will be
used for a preliminary description of differences and similarities among European countries
with regards to housing. Despite the housing convergence paradigm’s marginalised research
status, the goal of this paper is its revitalisation in housing studies by way of conducting a
comparative analysis of contradictions of convergence trends of housing policy liberalization
and europeanization which directly or indirectly relate to housing changes in developed
member states of the EU. The contradictions of convergence housing policies’ trends have
been problematized separately using the example of the 2008 global financial crisis, the consequential
crisis in the EU and their impact on housing.
