In this paper, I assume that in modern society under the conditions of democratization at least two fundamental social processes are taking place. Te processes of democratization bring about the civil society empowerment, which result in society becoming increasingly diverse. At the same time, from the point of view of the dominant part of society, the increase of societal diversity causes the loss of indispensable cohesion and communital character of society. Tis results in rising confict between diversity and community, confict that at least over time becomes politicized and need to be solved.In my view, the way to solve this contradiction lies in constructing the nationally heterogeneous civil state and pluralistic society

Various new organizational approaches have been applied to provide public services on the local level. It includes municipally owned enterprises, which can be regarded as a form of hybrid organizations – standing at the crossroads of the state, market and civil society. In that context several scholars indicate the risk of party patronage in inter-organizational public appointments of hybrid organizations’ CEOs. The article investigates whether conducting a prior formalized selection procedure for positions of CEOs of local hybrid companies constrains political power and whether formalized selection procedures are tools of good governance rather than a tool of party patronage. This topic is under researched not only within Central European countries but in wider European context. Our article thus focuses on 139 CEOs of 139 municipally owned enterprises in 88 municipalities. We found that the outcomes of selections indicate an emerging pattern in relation to who manages local enterprises. Although CEOs’ political affiliations to certain extent are still present when selection procedures are formalized, the outcomes of selection indicate an emerging professionalization and meritocratic approach rather than strong party patronage when selecting CEOs in those enterprises. This outcome is not greatly determined by the chosen selection procedure. The article thus provides implications for research and policy in the given area.

W artykule analizowany jest proces upolitycznienia emigracji i diaspory poprzez śledzenie obecności tematów związanych z emigracją i diasporą w polskim dyskursie politycznym. Zastosowaną metodą badania jest jakościowa analiza treści, przedmiotem analizy są programy polityczne partii politycznych, materiały i dokumenty opracowywane na potrzeby kampanii wyborczych, exposé premierów, akty prawne i programy rządowe. Analiza obejmuje okres od wyborów 1991 roku po kadencję parlamentu 2011–2015. Bardziej szczegółowa analiza dotyczy lat 2005–2011, czyli okresu po akcesji Polski do UE, symbolizującej początek ostatniej fali masowej emigracji i wzrost zainteresowania aktorów politycznych problemem emigracji i Polakami za granicą. Główne pytania badawcze dotyczą obecności emigracji i diaspory w dyskursie politycznym: w programach partyjnych, exposé premierów, działaniach kolejnych parlamentów i rządów. Analiza wykazała, że tematy dotyczące emigracji i diaspory były obecne (choć w różnym zakresie) podczas każdych wyborów, ale największe zainteresowanie nimi nastąpiło w okresie kampanii wyborczej w 2007 roku. Nie były one jednak przedmiotem polaryzacji (sporów politycznych), poszczególni aktorzy polityczni byli raczej zgodni w diagnozie sytuacji oraz treści proponowanych rozwiązań.

The article explores the process of politicization of emigration and the diaspora by tracking the presence of topics related to emigration and the diaspora in the political discourse in Poland. The method used in the study is qualitative content analysis; the subject of the analysis are political programs of political parties, materials and documents developed for the purposes of election campaigns, exposés of prime ministers, legal acts, and government programs. The analysis covers the period from the elections 1991 till the 2011–2015 parliamentary term. A more detailed analysis concerns the years 2005–2011, the period after the Polish accession to the EU which symbolizes the beginning of the recent wave of mass emigration and increased interest of political actors in the problem of emigration and Poles abroad. The main research questions relate to the presence of emigration and the diaspora in the political discourse: in the programs of political parties, exposés of prime ministers, the activities of successive parliaments and governments. The analysis shows that topics related to emigration and the diaspora were present (albeit to varying degrees) during each election, but the biggest interest took place during the 2007 election campaign. What is more important, the issues of emigration and the diaspora were not the subject of polarization (political disputes) as various political actors tended to agree on the diagnosis of the situation and the content of the proposed solutions.
