Faced with ecological crises, scientists are not neutral, on one side they contribute with their research to support a model of development that is partly responsible for these crises, on the other side they often disagree in discussing on limits and negative implications of such a model. This paper presents the biographies of four scientists who, besides revealing the conflicts of interest between scientific research, economics and politics, allow us to broaden our gaze on the relevance of the gender dimension that involves both research questions and methodolgies. ; Di fronte alle crisi ecologiche gli scienziati e le scienziate non sono neutrali, da una parte contribuiscono con le loro ricerche a sostenere un modello di sviluppo che di queste crisi è in parte responsabile, dall'altra si dividono al proprio interno nel discuterne limiti e implicazioni negative. In questo intervento vengono presentate le biografie di quattro scienziate che, oltre a svelare i conflitti di interesse tra ricerca scientifica, economia e politica, consentono di allargare lo sguardo sulla rilevanza della dimensione di genere che investe sia il piano delle domande di ricerca che quello delle metodologie di indagine.

The Republic of Kosovo was created several years after the breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Its problems were visible during Josip Broz Tito's presidency. Over the last ten years Kosovo has had two female presidents. The question is, what is the position of women on the Kosovan political scene? This phenomenon is particularly significant from the point of view of the post-conflict reconstruction of the state. The aim of this article is to analyse the evolution of the role of Kosovo Albanian women in the politics of Kosovo at the central level. For this reason, the article includes women involved in the armed conflict in Kosovo, especially in the activities of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA, alb. Ushtria Çlirimtare e Kosovës, UÇK). The author also presents the role of women in the Kosovan political arena since 1999, with particular emphasis on changes that took place after the declaration of independence of Kosovo. Furthermore, the author examines the profiles of selected female politicians. The article is based on an analysis of primary and secondary sources, the comparative and historical method, and an analysis of statistical data.
