The role of metropolitan areas has gained importance in contemporary Poland, as it is in them that here, like throughout the world, the economic, financial, scientific, and cultural potential are all concentrated. As the centers of both digital society and the knowledge-based economy, they play a significant role in spatial development. The aim of the article is to quantify the Cracow Metropolitan Area’s level of socio-economic development. The analysis is used to present the differentiation of socio-economic development among the communes of the CMA. The analysis is based on a synthetic composite index of development that has been calculated using 15 different indices that characterise socio-economic development for the year 2008.

This study examines the transformation of the Spanish party system, particularly in the context of the July 2023 general elections. Over the last decade, the party system has become more fragmented and polarized. From a two-party format, the contest has gradually turned into a competition between two blocs: the right and the left. The July 2023 general elections showed that the party system has partially stabilized, with the mainstream parties (PP and PSOE) recovering, but not enough to form a single-party government. Support from regional parties remains essential for forming a central government. However, the possibilities for cooperation between political parties are limited by the nature of the party blocs, and the high degree of ideological and social polarization.

The article assesses the role of information-processing skills and education in people’s labour market trajectories in the Czech Republic in the period of economic recovery from 2011/2012 to 2015. We examine the extent to which literacy and numeracy and formal and informal education influenced changes in the stability of individuals’ employment and their income mobility, incorporating polarisation and segmentation perspectives. The analysis is conducted using a unique combination of Czech PIAAC data and a follow-up survey. The findings show that formal education compared to information-processing skills and further education is by far the most important factor of change in a person’s position in the labour market while the role of skills is only limited.

Artykuł ukazuje funkcjonującą w przestrzeni społecznej konfrontację dwóch imigranckich grup – repatriantów i uchodźców, które wraz z kryzysem uchodźczym w Europie oraz polityzacją problemów dotyczących zarówno jednej jak i drugiej grupy, ulegają społecznej polaryzacji. Do analizy zjawiska wykorzystywane są dwie antropologiczne kategorie: opozycyjna – Swoich i Obcych, oraz „jednocząca” – wspólnoty. Druga z nich traktowana jest jako objawiająca się na dwóch płaszczyznach – opartej na przynależności narodowej oraz opartej na dzieleniu wspólnego losu. Proces przypisywania obydwu grupom cech swojskości bądź obcości, włączania do wspólnoty bądź wykluczania z niej, ulega relatywizacji pod wpływem bieżących wydarzeń światowych i ich społecznego odbioru współkształtowanego w niemałym stopniu przez dyskurs oficjalny. Główną tezą wynikającą z analizy przedstawionej sytuacji jest, iż próby powoływania się na wspólnotę losu wszystkich migrantów dokonywane przez środowiska pro- imigranckie i pro-uchodźcze, w obliczu strachu wywołanego kryzysem związanym z napływem uchodźców, zderzają się w nierównej walce ze wspólnotą tożsamości mającą niejako pierwszeństwo w sytuacji zagrożenia. W tekście wykorzystuję wyniki dwuletnich badań prowadzonych w środowisku repatriantów oraz spostrzeżenia jako uczestnika i obserwatora debaty publicznej na temat uchodźców w Polsce.

The article shows the confrontation of two immigrant groups – repatriates and refugees – operating in the social space. This confrontation, together with the refugee crisis in Europe and the politicization of problems affecting both groups, becomes subject to social polarization. Two anthropological categories are used for the analysis of the phenomenon: the opposition of Us and Them (Swoi and Obcy), and the “unifying” notion of community. The second is treated as being manifested on two levels – on nationality and on sharing a common fate. The process of assigning the characteristics of homeliness or strangeness to both groups, of joining or excluding from the community, is relativized under the influence of current world events and their social reception has been coshaped to a large extent by the official discourse. The main thesis resulting from the analysis of the presented situation is that attempts to invoke the community of the fate of all migrants made by pro-immigrant and pro-refugee activists, in the face of fear caused by the crisis related to the influx of refugees, collide in an unequal struggle with the identity-community as a priority in an emergency situation. In the text, I use the results of two-year research conducted in the repatriate community and impressions as a participant and observer of the public debate on refugees in Poland.
