The article deals with the questions of the (in)visibility of women in Slovak political life. The material presents statistical data on women's participation in Slovak national, regional and local politics with the support of qualitative data from interviews with women politicians and activists. The authoress looks at the reasons for the low political representation of women and the unsuccessful attempts to increase it by introducing positive mechanisms such as quotas. The primary focus is put on the representation of women in municipal politics. The authoress analyses the main reasons why women are more successful in local politics than in 'high' politics.

The paper deals with the new phase of the migration processes in contemporary global world - transnational migration. It brings an overview of the transnational theories as discussed in a social anthropological literature. The transnational migrants are citizens who live within the borders of two or more states and maintain the close social, cultural, economic and political ties to their home country. One of the growing groups of the transnational migrants are the highly skilled and qualified professionals who work for international and transnational institutions and organizations. The study focuses on a group of the Slovak citizens working at European institutions in Brussels. It is based on qualitative research and analyses responses from the questionnaires and interviews with the Slovak professionals in Brussels divided into several categories (motivations of migration; home; identity constructions and transformations; life styles; contacts and relations with the home country). The main objective is to investigate whether the characteristics of the transnational migrants can be applied to this group of the migrants.
