The article discusses global cities - the economic, political and financial centres of the modern world. However, the author does not focus on the economic importance of global cities but on their socio-cultural uniqueness. In this perspective cities are perceived as the most advanced evolutionary form of urban organisms, which developed during post-industrial globalisation. The latter made modern global cities centres with free movement of people and migrations as their inalienable features. By reference to Ulf Hannerz' concept of transnational connections the author discusses four main social categories that make up global cities: representatives of international business, populations originating in the Third World, the people of culture and tourists. While describing all four of them, the author draws attention to the consequences that the presence of these groups have in the cultural, social and spatial dimensions.

The article describes leadership concepts developed in political anthropology from its very beginnings until modern times. The author tries to trace the history of anthropological reflection on political leadership and shows how its understanding in different theoretical orientation was changing. These changes are discussed against the background of socio-political transformations taking place in the Western world. The article presents the views of evolutionists, classical functionalist concepts of leadership and their subsequent modifications made by representatives of processualism and the theory of action as well as the concepts of power and authority developed by neo-evolutionists. The last part of the article addresses most recent studies on leadership in the post-colonial world and in pluralist Western societies. The history of anthropological studies on leadership shows how its understanding has evolved - from formal understanding, when leadership was perceived as a category identical to an exercise of power, to approaches in which leadership is understood as a dynamic structure, an aspect of social practice inseparably connected to other areas of culture such as kinship, power, prestige, religion, economics or law.

This article analyses the processes of creating the township on the example of Borne Sulinowo, one of the youngest cities in Poland. The collapse of the communism in the Centre and Eastern Europe caused, that Poland had made efforts for the revitalization of areas occupied by Soviet armies. Borne Sulinowo, a small city located in the north-western Poland, suffered the same fate as desolation of its areas after the departure of the Soviet Army and anew settlement by the civil settlers. Issues brought up in the article are focusing on problems of the adaptation of the settlers to the new cultural environment, on shaping local bonds and on the degree of the identification with the new place of residence.
