In recent years, protest activities happened frequently in Taiwan. These protests have had profound conseąuences and changed the landscape of Taiwanese politics. Therefore, it is important to know who protests and why these people protest. This paper aims to answer two questions. First, what kind of people (according to their Socio-Economic Status, SES) is more likely to participate in protest? Second, how does SES influence protest participation? Our hypotheses are drawn from grievance theories, resources model and cultural change theory. We hypothesize that in Taiwan, people with higher SES tend to join in protest. The mechanisms are material condition, civic skills, and the value of post- materialism. Empirically, taking advantage of the World Values Survey 2010-2012, we use confirmatory factor analysis to construct an indicator of SES including education, income, and class. Then, we conduct structural equation modeling to test the mechanisms through which SES exerts influences. We find that in Taiwan, people with higher SES are more likely to protest. Moreover, civic skills are the most important mechanisms. Material condition also has a positive effect. Although the value of post- materialism can influence protest participation, whether people hold this value is unrelated to their SES.

The paper’s aim is to check whether there is a relationship between the effectiveness of emotion management techniques and the protesters’ subjectivity level in Poland. In this case, it is necessary to analyse selected significant social protests in terms of the emotions felt by the ruling elites, the emotions they evoke among the protesters, and the level of political subjectivity possessed by the latter. In June 1956, the technique of masking emotion management was used effectively. The intensification technique in October was fully effective. In December 1970, only the use of the intensification technique brought results. In June 1976, the masking technique proved to be effective within a limited time range. In the summer of 1980, the party-state apparatus was not able to effectively manage emotions. The breakthrough was the introduction of martial law and forcing a significant part of society to be submissive and conformist. Managing emotions by intensifying them during the Women’s Strike proved to be partially effective. Crossing the threshold of subjectivity by opposition social groups makes the management of emotions generally ineffective. The paper offers an innovative research design for analysing the relationships between the management of emotions and the political subjectivity level.

Gruzińskie Marzenie dochodząc do władzy w 2012 r. było obietnicą zmian, których oczekiwało społeczeństwo gruzińskie, rozdarte pomiędzy dążeniami do pokoju i dobrobytu wzorem państw zachodnich, a zarazem ustabilizowania stosunków z Rosją. Po siedmiu latach okazało się, że ta obietnica nie spełniła się, a obywatele są rozgoryczeni prowadzeniem polityki zarówno wewnętrznej, jak i międzynarodowej przez Bidzinę Iwaniszwilego. Na potrzeby artykułu sformułowano hipotezę badawczą zakładającą, że w czerwcu 2019 r. doszło do protestów społecznych w stolicy Gruzji, ponieważ działania podejmowane przez ugrupowanie kierowane przez Bidzinę Iwaniszwilego doprowadziły do spadku zaufania do tej formacji. Autorzy artykułu podjęli się próby analizy działań podejmowanych Bidzinę Iwaniszwilego, które mogły doprowadzić do niepokojów społecznych oraz wskazania czynników wewnętrznych i zewnętrznych, które doprowadziły do spadku zaufania do rządzących Gruzją w ostatnich latach. Ponadto przedstawili wydarzenia z dnia 20 czerwca 2019 r., kiedy to wielotysięczny tłum zgromadził się pod budynkiem gruzińskiego parlamentu, by wyrazić niezadowolenie z pojawienia się na sesji parlamentu deputowanego rosyjskiej dumy, Siergieja Gawriłowa, co w rezultacie wywołało ogólnopaństwowe protesty.

Coming to power in 2012, the Georgian Dream promised changes expected by Georgian society that was torn between striving for peace and prosperity, following the example of Western countries, and stabilizing relations with Russia. After seven years, this promise was not fulfilled, and the citizens were bitter about the internal and international policies of Bidzina Ivanishvili. For the purpose of this article, the research hypothesis was formulated that in June 2019 social protests broke out in the capital of Georgia, because the activities of the party headed by Bidzina Ivanishvili resulted in decreased social confidence in this formation. The authors of the article analyzed the activities of Bidzina Ivanishvili which might have sparked social unrest and identified the internal and external factors that resulted in the shrinking social confidence in Georgian authorities in recent years. The authors presented also the events of June 20, 2019, when thousands of people gathered in front of the Georgian parliament building to express their discontent with the presence of the deputy of Russian Duma, Sergei Gavrilov, at the parliamentary session, which resulted in nationwide protests.

The article aims to portray a reconstruction as well as conduct an analysis of the changes in public support policy for the people who provide long-term care to their heavily disabled relatives. The first part presents the characteristic traits of the carer allowance recipients as well as their experiences and distinctiveness in the broader context of the situation of the disabled and their families. The second part provides a chronology of the changes in financial support policy toward carers since 2003 when the Act of Family Benefits took effect. Under the Act carers are entitled to allowances up to the present time. The process shows not only the lack of any stable trend as far as the direction of the policy in that field is concerned, but also a big role of external factors as well as social and public actors in that matter. The actors of public policy in this area as well as their impact on the construct of the legal changes in place constitute the subject of the third part of the article. Apart from the Council of Ministers, the author regards the Constitutional Tribunal and its rulings, the Ombudsman and also public support recipients along with their representative parties as the actors of public support policy.

Artykuł stanowi rekonstrukcję i analizę procesu kształtowania się polityki wsparcia osób długoterminowo zajmujących się bliskimi niezdolnymi do samodzielnej egzystencji. W pierwszej części przedstawiono cechy omawianej grupy oraz pokazano jej doświadczenia i odrębności na szerszym tle sytuacji osób niepełnosprawnych, a także ich rodzin. W drugiej części dokonano periodyzacji zmian, jakie zaszły w systemie wsparcia pieniężnego omawianej grupy w okresie od początku wejścia w życie ustawy o świadczeniach rodzinnych, na mocy której do dziś wypłaca się świadczenia dla opiekunów. Ukazanie tego procesu dowodzi braku stałej tendencji, jeśli chodzi o kierunek kolejnych reform, natomiast dużej roli zewnętrznych wobec decydentów czynników oraz aktorów społecznych i publicznych. To owym aktorom polityki publicznej i ich wpływowi na kształt zmian prawnych poświęcono trzecią część artykułu. Autor wyróżnił wśród aktorów polityki wsparcia oprócz Rady Ministrów, także Trybunał Konstytucyjny i jego kolejne wyroki, Rzecznika Praw Obywatelskich oraz samych adresatów wsparcia i środowiska ich reprezentujące.

The purpose of the presented article is to indicate to what an extent and how the most opinion-forming dailies and weeklies in Germany reported events taking place on the Polish coast in December 1970. The workers’ revolt, which ended with a bloody suppression by the army and militia, took place only a week after the agreement between the People’s Republic of Poland and West Germany had been concluded. Analyzing this issue, research questions can be asked, both about the number and size of articles as well as their nature. Were they predominantly accounts of the course of events or were commentaries also popular? Was, and if so, to what an extent social unrest in the People’s Republic of Poland and the removal of Władysław Gomułka from power perceived as a threat to the just initiated process of rapprochement on the Warsaw–Bonn line? To what an extent did the publications in dailies and weeklies differ from each other? Finally, the question is whether the press appearing in the Federal Republic of Germany published information on reactions of the public of this country, acts of solidarity, or voices of condemnation addressed to the authorities in Warsaw? The study undertook a critical analysis of texts describing the events of December 1970, establishing the chronology of these events. This analysis was also comparative in nature, as the content of the articles was compared with the former researchers’ findings on the course of individual days of the December tragedy. No less important for this text was the linguistic analysis, aimed at indicating to what an extent reports and columns regarding the situation in Poland were emotionally loaded, and to what an extent they constituted substantive, emotionless political analyzes. The next research method used in the presented research was the quantitative method. Its application made it possible to determine the number of articles referring to events in Poland and to indicate specific days when they had appeared in individual dailies and weeklies. The results of the query and analysis of press articles indicate that, despite the information blockade, journalists managed to map, with a high degree of vagueness, the real course of workers’ protests, especially their causes and the actions of the authorities leading to the brutal suppression. From the point of view of the West German editors, reports obtained from journalists from Scandinavia who had managed to get to Szczecin and Słupsk played a significant role here. In this way, the descriptions of events from both cities quickly obscured the dramatic situation in Gdańsk and Gdynia, including the symbol of December 1970 – an episode related to the death of Zbyszek Godlewski (“Janek Wiśniewski”), which hardly appeared in the media in Germany. A separate research problem to which special attention should be paid are the numerous social and economic analyzes of the situation in Poland published in West German press in December 1970. They pointed to the economic premises as the main reasons for the outbreak of protests, while criticizing the policy of Gomułka, which had led Poland to the economic stagnation. A similar position was taken by the government of Chancellor Willy Brandt, who at first took an expectant attitude, and then, through the words of the government’s spokesman Conrad Ahlers, drew attention to the chronic economic problems of the so-called Eastern Bloc. Despite some anxiety, journalists calmly accepted events in Poland, especially the removal of Gomułka from power and him being replaced by Edward Gierek. It was anticipated that the new Polish leader would continue the policy of rapprochement with Germany, and more broadly with the West.

The phenomenon of the „Third Wave", which is a reborn of civic activity among a youth and social inclusion of young Poles is widely descripted from the historical perspective. In the beginning the historical overview focuses on the "First Wave", - the period between 1945 and 1989, where the involvement of young people in social and political activities was mainly confrontational. The very first thought we have when it comes to the political and social activities of the emerging generation in post-war Poland are not a pro-systemic but anti-systemic activities. First of all the year 1968 - identified as the beginning of the large-scale opposition movement of the People's Republic of Poland. The "Second Wave" is the generation crossing a borderline of 1989 as a children and youth. In general, it can be assumed that they were born between 1970 and 1985. The youngsters in this Wave were openly not-interested in the politics (ex. the record breaking low rate of participation in elections); disappointed with III RP, frustrated with a great social problems (unemployment, scandals on a large scale) were rather focused on personal and social issues on a micro scale (WOŚP, partys' youth wings). The "Third Wave"- the period we are witnessing, is a dawn of youth activity. We are just at the beginning of the rising curve, which shows the a rise of active civic attitude among young people. The phenomenon of this rebirth, inclusion, is the result of several factors, which are a subject of article are presented in detail. We are witnessing a great increase in the activity of young people, the demonstration of their power, the efficiency, and the influence. Its direction and force depend strongly on current trends, popularity and communication skills. The young Poles and theirs mood are the main factors which are choosing the members of The Polish Parliament, creating a demand for products and creating cultural phenomena. The Internet has become a land of communication and organization of young people's activities. In the article, the reader will find detailed reconstructions of the most important and popular activities of young Poles, the "Third Wave", their interpretation and explanations.

This article examines the social protest movement against the socialist regime in the Baltic port cities of Szczecin and Gdańsk, in particular between 1970 and 1981. It intends to discuss the impact of these strikes on the formation of a regional and national political culture, which is widely connected to the concept of civil society, in a longer perspective. While Szczecin, after the bloody clashes with the regime’s law enforcement in mid-December 1970, saw a longer-lasting period of strikes, which led to an intervention by First Secretary Edward Gierek, these protests remained limited to the community of workers and did not yet challenge the rule of the Polish United Workers’ Party. They contributed, however, to the formation of a local Polish identity from below. However, in Gdańsk and, in a broader perspective, in the entire Polish Tricity (consisting of Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot) a close cooperation between workers and intellectuals emerged during the 1970s, which proved to be decisive during the strike of August 1980. In Szczecin, the similarly strong strike movement of summer 1980 lacked the national (and international) resonance of the protests in Gdańsk. In addition, the political impact and the collective commemoration (as well as the scholarly research) of the workers’ protests in the case of Szczecin remained mostly a local issue even after the fall of the socialist regime. Which stands, once again, in sharp contrast to the situation of Gdańsk.

In October 2020, the Constitutional Tribunal announced a verdict which drastically limited the possibility of abortion, even in the case of serious or lethal defects of the foetus. This ruling sparked social protests unprecedented since 1989, which took place in large and small towns across the country. Using the tools of engaged anthropology, auto-ethnography, and folklore, I decided to look at the ways of communication of protesters and the processes of creating a protest community. In the text, I present and analyse three main spheres of action of protest folklore: the verbal and visual sphere contained on cardboard banners, the acoustic sphere and the embodied sphere expressed through movement.
PL
W październiku 2020 r. ogłoszono wyrok Trybunału Konstytucyjnego, który drastycznie ograniczył możliwość dokonywania aborcji, nawet w przypadku poważnych i śmiertelnych wad płodu. Orzeczenie to wywołało niespotykane od 1989 r. protesty społeczne, które odbywały się w dużych i małych miejscowościach w całym kraju. Postanowiłam przyjrzeć się, stosując narzędzia antropologii zaangażowanej, autoetnografii i folklorystyki, sposobom komunikacji protestujących osób i procesom wytwarzania protestacyjnej wspólnoty. W tekście przedstawiam i analizuję trzy główne płaszczyzny działania folkloru protestacyjnego: słowno-wizualną zawartą na kartonowych transparentach, akustyczną i dotyczącą ruchu, ucieleśnioną.
