The year 1993 marked the establishment of formal EU citizenship and, subsequently, special relations were forged between the earlier status of the individual, a subject of internal market freedoms, and the notion of political EU citizenship. The social and welfare rights of individuals were strengthened, thus enabling a deeper integration. The social rights in the EU’s legal system play a special role in the construction of EU citizenship as they add meaning to the notion of citizenship and go beyond the traditional, economic dimension of integration. What links the constructs of market citizenship and social citizenship is the strong emphasis on the individual’s right to their status, and to rights which can be exercised effectively. Recently, political and economic citizenships have merged. However, this process has been confronted with resistance from some member states, particularly the ones with wealthy social protection systems. This has been caused by the abuse of rights by migrants from other member states, i.e., through so-called social tourism.

The goal of this article is to analyse the manner in which social citizenship is constructed in local (municipal) political discourse. It analyses how in two Polish municipalities, vary- ing in terms of social policy expenditures level, council members attribute social rights (in a broad meaning) and civic duties to the inhabitants of the city and to local target populations. According to the main research hypothesis, the universalist narrative of social citizenship will dominate in the municipality with a more generous local social policy, whereas in the city with a more stringent social policy, discourse promoting conditionality in social policy will be more visible. Analysis of council sessions transcripts shows, however, that it is the city with a relatively generous social policy in which universalistic and paternalist narratives, as well as those promoting conditionality, coexist. The conclusion linked to social construction of target populations approach states that the more generous and complex local social policy is, the higher the variety of often contradictory discourse in social citizenship. The conclusion linked to social citizenship theories states that at the local level universalism and conditionality based on the idea of civic contribution coexist in communitarian narratives.

Celem artykułu jest analiza konstrukcji obywatelstwa społecznego w lokalnym dyskursie politycznym. Przedmiotem badania jest sposób w jaki radni dwóch polskich miast zróżnicowanych pod względem poziomu wydatków na politykę społeczną postulują szeroko rozumiane prawa społeczne oraz obywatelskie obowiązki mieszkańców miasta. Przyjęta hipoteza zakłada, że w mieście o bardziej hojnej lokalnej polityce społecznej będzie dominowała narracja uniwersalistyczna, a w mieście o niskich wydatkach na zadania własne polityki społecznej — narracja warunkująca dostęp do świadczeń i usług spełnianiem przez mieszkańców określonych kryteriów. Analiza stenogramów z posiedzeń rady miejskiej pokazuje jednak, że w mieście o wysokich wydatkach znacznie silniej obecne są narracje zarówno uniwersalistyczne, paternalistyczne, jak i postulujące warunkowość. Proponuję wniosek nawiązujący się do koncepcji social constructions of target populations, że kompleksowej lokalnej polityce społecznej towarzyszy różnorodność często sprzecznych lokalnych narracji obywatelstwa społecznego. Natomiast odnosząc się do teorii obywatelstwa społecznego formułuję wniosek że na poziomie lokalnym uniwersalizm i warunkowość oparta na spełnianiu „obywatelskich obowiązków” mogą współwystępować w komunitariańskich narracjach polityki społecznej.

The paper is aimed at outlining the concept of local social citizenship within the theory of social policy. The paradox of social citizenship concept is that it may serve to both identify and disguise inequalities in access to welfare state benefits and services. Thus, those aspects of local social citizenship construct thanks to which it may serve the former objective are discussed in the paper. In the first section of the paper, the importance of entitlements in the concept of local social citizenship is considered, proving that viewing them from formal and legal angles exclusively is too restrictive in regard to social policy. The second section contains considerations on differences between understanding them in the liberal manner and the one proposed within local social citizenship. In the last section, hypotheses concerning the more significant transformations of local social citizenship in Poland are outlined. It is argued that entitlements at the local level are becoming stronger related to certain obligations of the citizens.

Celem artykułu jest próba zarysowania w teorii polityki społecznej autorskiej koncepcji lokalnego obywatelstwa społecznego. Paradoks koncepcji obywatelstwa społecznego polega na tym, że może ono służyć zarówno rozpoznawaniu, jak i skrywaniu nierówności w dostępie do świadczeń i usług oferowanych przez państwo opiekuńcze. W artykule przeanalizowane są te aspekty konstrukcji lokalnego obywatelstwa społecznego, dzięki którym może ono służyć temu pierwszemu celowi. W pierwszej części tekstu omówione jest znaczenie uprawnień w koncepcji lokalnego obywatelstwa społecznego – ukazane jest, że wyłącznie formalno-prawne ich rozumienie jest w polityce społecznej zbyt zawężające. W drugiej części przedstawione są różnice między liberalnym ich rozumieniem a proponowanym w ramach lokalnego obywatelstwa społecznego. W części ostatniej zaproponowane są hipotezy dotyczące ważniejszych przemian lokalnego obywatelstwa społecznego w Polsce – m.in. wskazane jest, że do czynienia mamy z silniejszym powiązaniem uprawnień z realizacją określonych obowiązków na poziomie lokalnym.

The paper gives the characteristics of social entrepreneurship of the “old” social economy (born on the turn of XIX and XX centuries), and of the “new” social economy (developing on the turn of XX and XXI centuries) as well as social enterprises of different kinds. The main important, taking into account its function in building social capital and strengthening social bonds, is a distinction between social enterprises (SE) focused on reintegration of individuals excluded from the labor market because of their personal deficits, called WISE (work integration social enterprises) and social enterprises used as vehicles for economic development of marginalized communities (social enterprises locally embedded - SELE). The general tendency brings for WISE to involve vertical ties in reintegration programs, and SELE to built networks of stakeholders based on horizontal ties. The author argues that in current Poland the chance for surviving and development have social enterprises of a hybrid type, which combine two kind of social mission: reintegration of individuals excluded from the labor market and empowering marginalized local communities.
