From the moment academics began to reflect on the divided towns of the Polish-German border their investigations were directed to such phenomena as cooperation, closer relations, unification, connection, integration, becoming similar, and overcoming barriers, as is clearly observable in the publications that emerged in the 1970s, the period of the first post-war opening of the Polish-German border for passport-free traffic. This article addresses the validity and usefulness of such a perspective on divided towns. Do the researchers not tacitly yield to the conviction that integration is the only reasonable destiny for divided towns and does this conviction not tend to be based on a theory of horizontal Europeanization? Should opposing, or at least slightly different scenarios, not be considered? While searching to answer these questions and attempting to dispel doubts the author makes use of empirical studies conducted in the Polish-German borderland.

This paper offers a review of the most important publications on divided towns and consists of two parts. The first focuses on defining basic notions referring to border towns, which the author takes to include divided towns and adjacent towns, and describes examples of such units. Part two, the core of the paper, makes a survey of literature, starting from 1990, in which the objects of study are divided towns in Europe.

Opracowanie stanowi przegląd najważniejszych publikacji w zakresie miast podzielonych i składa się z dwóch części. Pierwsza koncentruje się na zdefiniowaniu podstawowych pojęć odnoszących się do miast granicznych, do których autorka zalicza miasta podzielone i miasta stykowe, a następnie opisuje przykłady takich miast. Natomiast druga część stanowi trzon opracowania i dotyczy przeglądu literatury począwszy od 1990 r., której przedmiotem badań są miasta podzielone w Europie.

One of the consequences of the changes introduced to combat the growing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic was the decision to temporarily limit the unrestrained cross-border movement to and from Poland. Our thesis is that this decision, among many others announced by the national government, resulted in peculiar resistance, although mainly in the borderland and in divided towns. The resistance stemmed from the disruption of the daily lives of the inhabitants, who engage in their everyday activities (e.g. work, education) on both sides of the national border. Referring to A. Sadowski's conception, we posit that cultural pluralism (a pluralistic society) has emerged in these towns and, as a result, they are approaching the state of multiculturalism. On the basis of the existing data illustrating the protests taking place in divided towns, we analyse what arguments appear and by whom they are used in messages addressed to the Polish government, which describe the de facto destruction of the existing cross-border social order in divided towns. The analyses have shown disparities between the advancement of certain social processes in the borderland and the reflexivity of the central government, who made their arbitrary decisions without factoring in the specific character of socio-political order developed in recent years in the divided towns of the Polish- German and Polish-Czech borderland.

Miasta podzielone w Europie

Divided towns have got a long history in Europe, although it was only after 1990 that researchers started to show greater interest in this type of settlements. They have appeared as a result of changes in the course of state boundaries, largely caused by the two world wars or by the disintegration of some states. Divided towns are characteristic of East-Central and South-Eastern Europe, where the fluidity of boundaries and changes in the territorial ranges of states have been the greatest. This paper describes general features of the divided towns in Europe, focusing on their genesis, typology, and synthetic characterisation based on size criteria.

Miasta podzielone w Europie mają długą historię, choć dopiero po roku 1990 wzrosło zainteresowanie tego typu miastami wśród badaczy. Powstały one jako efekt zmian przebiegu granic państwowych wywołanych przede wszystkim dwoma wojnami światowymi czy też rozpadem niektórych państw. Miasta podzielone są charakterystyczne dla Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej i Południowo-Wschodniej, cechującej się największą płynnością granic i zmianą zasięgu terytorialnego państw. Opracowanie stanowi ogólną charakterystykę miast podzielonych w Europie, koncentrując się na zagadnieniach związanych z genezą ich powstania, typologią miast podzielonych oraz syntetyczną charakterystyką w oparciu o kryteria wielkościowe miast.
