The author previously applied the outlook and methodology he named the system paradigm to analysing the socialist system and post-socialist transition. This study takes the same approach to some general attributes of capitalism. After clarifying some concepts, the author presents examples of some system-specific features of capitalism, before addressing two of them in detail. One is the dynamism of the system. The great innovations of the last century that radically altered both the technology of production and people's daily lives were all introduced and disseminated by the capitalist system and its protagonist, the entrepreneur. Only under capitalism can the mechanism of entrepreneurship and innovation emerge, with the strong incentives and flexible capital market they require. The other immanent feature is a chronic surplus on the labour market that contrasts sharply with the chronic labour shortage prevalent under the mature socialist system. Theory and experience confirm that the faster the ongoing transformation of a capitalist economy proceeds, the greater the propensity for structural unemployment to appear. It is explained by the efficiency pay hypothesis how an employer has an incentive to pay more than a market-clearing wage, thereby introducing unemployment. Capitalism is a system that can be reformed, but attention needs paying to relations between reforms of different parts of the system. In fortunate cases they complement each other, but it is commoner to find that tackling one unfavourable tendency only allows another such tendency to increase.

Young people in rural areas are gradually convinced that they have to leave their homes for education. They move, and hereby amplify the problem of local economic and demographic decline. The article explores the role of education as well as the social dynamics behind this process in a minor community in Denmark. Drawing on children and young people's perspectives, the article examines how children gradually come to doubt on the local opportunities and become alienated to local lifeforms. Based on an anthropological fieldwork, the authors show how day-care institutions, schools and youth education play an important role in this process.

I explore how working-class Polish parents come to identify with their new localities despite their limited command of English, building just a few, but necessary bridges into the English-speaking community, e.g. by learning to decipher letters from children’s schools, or attending English masses in the weeks between Polish ones. Despite the apparent sparseness of these ties, parents who have lived in Bath or Bristol for a few years already feel quite strong attachments to the local area and are not interested in moving elsewhere in England. Feelings of wanting to stay put are enhanced by parents’ exhaustion after the period of intense mobility by all parties while only the husband was working in the UK. Simultaneously, parents – usually both from the same place in Poland - maintain close ties with their original home locality. This is the only place to which they would consider return. Different family members are attached to that Polish locality to different degrees, but it seems uncommon for one to persuade the rest of the family to go back.

Although freedom of movement of persons has been considered one of fundaments of the European Communities ever since their formation, mobility had never before reached the current level. What encourages the migration are in the fi rst place: the size of the European Union with its 28 states, economic differences between states and so few obstacles. Data collected in 2012 indicates that about 2,5% of EU citizens live in an EU member state other than their country of origin. However, the official data focuses on permanent movement of workers, while seasonal migration and migration for educational purposes is not included which biases the enquiry substantially. Statistics also show that the internal dynamics of mobility within the EU has grown lately and is bigger than the inflow of non-EU migrants.The greatest movement within EU was observed after the 2004 and 2007 enlargements, when signifi cant number of people from new member states migrated to the old member countries. Migration related to the XXI century enlargements posed the biggest so far economic and social challenge for the receiving states, countries of origin as much as for the EU institutions. The focus of this article is on the effects of internal migration, obstacles still existing in full implementation of free movement of people as provided for in the EU law, as well as on the existence of the EU policy related to accommodation of the effects of migration enabled and encouraged within the EU. The study leads to conclusions on the inconsistency of actions of the EU while there being several initiatives and programmes in operation aiming to facilitate both the mobility and the effects the movement of EU citizens causes.

TRAVELLING HOME: PERSONAL MOBILITY AND “NEW” POLISH MIGRANTS IN ENGLAND

This article is concerned with issues of travelling home in narratives of migration, drawing particular attention to the journey itself, which I examine as an increasingly important aspect of overall personal mobility. Freedom of circulation within the European Union made the borders inside the EU space less important to those who have the right of free movement. More recently, the expansion of the EU in 2004 and the availability of cheaper, more frequent and more accessible air travel connections, has allowed for new forms of mobility, based on more frequent return visits for Eastern Europeans, who have gone to work and live in Britain. In recent years, the “visiting friends and family” (VFR) mobility type has been the fastest growing segment of inbound air traffic in the UK, accounting for almost half of all trips within European Union (CAA Passenger Survey 2006). Drawing on the narratives and interview data with “new” Polish migrants in England, this paper argues that the social content of migrant mobility and visits home is of increasing importance. Many Polish migrants in England are now dependent on this form of mobility not only for sustaining social ties, but also in case of negotiation of their social status and displaying the achievements of migration. I argue, amongst other things, that the visit home is also a fundamental part of new mobility patterns and a crucial stage in the negotiation of migration itself. I am suggesting that the ways in which the journey home and the distance between England and Poland are encountered by Polish migrants, are critical to their understandings of migration. Because of the figurative proximity between Poland and England and “when desired” nature of their movement, Polish migrants are placed in a position of privilege and control regarding their mobility.

Some modern interpretations of the notion institute are discussed and a dominant admission limiting this notion interpretation variance is introduced. Reproduction of multiple inequalities is of the prevailing institutional character. That means that social institutes are taken synchronously in the context of the given conception both as reproducing and modifying inequalities, intensifying and smoothing them. The institutes are also interpreted as the active subjects, agents of inequalities reproduction, as well as of formation of individuals’ ways of inequalities perception, attitudes and estimates of own position and status in the society. A scheme of institutional reproduction of multiple inequalities described in the article contains such basic constituents: social institute, wealth/resources, inequality replication conditions, inequality modification conditions, interaction with other institutes, multiple stratification orders, and individuals.

The content of the White Papers indicates that large targets arising from the concept of balanced development are set for the EU's transport policy. It demands a broader view and influence on expanding the range of related activities which create a logistic support system for socio-economic life. The scope of problems associated with this process exceeds the current range of transport policy. Therefore, terms "mobility" and "policy of mobility" are more often used in EU documents as equivalent to "transport" and "policy of transport", but better reflecting the character of the problems.

The essay institutes a wide aspects concern about locality issue. Author has used Arjun Appadurai's theory and makes a trial to answer - What does really mean 'locality/local' on the world, in which spatial locality, the scope and scale of daily interaction communities do not always coincide with each other? The consequence of such trials is extremely relative process of concrete place, recognition of its liquidity and paradoxically - motility. Moreover, we can say that the submitted paradigm causes radical modification of thinking which is understanding in such a way: locality as the team factors which permanently separate 'here' from 'there'; these two categories are found in a continuous, permanently way from the new and the newly. It is possible that key which has introduced into the new locality formula which would be able to cope with some parts of these dilemmas at least, is way of consideration in terms of hospitality. Author argues with described way in the Moltz and Gibson's book, so far called 'Mobilizing hospitality: the ethics of social relations in a mobile Word'. Their trial constitutes mobility metaphors in the centre, which are thematically related and directed into the marginalization process of local dimension of human life. He also revels against considering of contemporary cultural phenomenon exclusively from perspective of mobility. Author stand on the side with host, not guest (arrival ). As he convinces, it is a very difficult and risk decision, especially if we look on contemporary reflection of anthropological and philosophical field research. Mainly a method should stay the same, but local aspect and field research becomes at least burdensome. In fact, no wonder that image of man-the-spot in the world has significant potential. As author assures the most significant changes appear in the way of establishment and consolidation these two dichotomies in which local aspect is loosing. He would like to prove that factors such as: mobility, globalization compel for reformulation of the local meaning, but not to complete elimination of the idea.

This article concernes Third Culture Kids (TCKs), i.e. persons, who due their parents’ work spent a significant period of their childhood or school years in a different country than that of their parents. Due to the fact that in today’s globalizing world more and more people experience working abroad and many of them are accompanied by their families, the issue of the consequences of such a mobile and multicultural childhood becomes extremely important. The author has conducted 53 biographical interviews with adult Third Culture Kids. The biographical consequences of moving in one’s childhood are analyzed in a few spheres: professional life, social relations, psychological problems, and identity construction. TCKs are most often from the families of diplomats, professionals working abroad on contracts, employees of international firms. The vast majority of them has tertiary education and chooses a career which gives independence, the possibility to travel and capitalize cultural competences, which one has acquired thanks to his or her upbringing. Unfortunately, such a lifestyle since childhood is associated with the risk of psychological (ranging from the lack of embeddedness to depression) and social (e.g. sense of alienation, difficulties in engaging in deeper relations) problems. Building a coherent and long-lasting identity is also a challenge for Third Culture Kids. The author describes means of dealing with the above-mentioned problems.

In the paper a possible theoretical approach of residential environmental research is outlined. The paper also deals with the application of the resulted model in the case of concrete neighbourhoods. The model is based on the Coleman system behaviour model, which emphasizes the fact that the macro level changes always happen with the 'mediation' of the micro level. The decisions brought on the micro level under the conditions set on the macro level add up on the aggregate level again and produce a new structure in society and space. The aim of the research the model is used in is to explain the differences in the trajectories of different residential areas of originally nearly the same age, architectural design and social composition in Budapest. In the applied twinning residential environment dynamics model the classic Coleman-model is doubled. It is due to the necessity of combining the individual mobility and investment mobility trends, that together give dynamism to the neighbourhoods and other larger or smaller scale spatial units of residential function. Besides the general model a neighbourhood specific application of the model is presented on the rehabilitation process of Middle - Józsefváros, a classic downgrading area, where a few years ago a large scale renewal process was initiated.

Poland’s accession to the EU exponentially increased the mobility of its citizens and changed the geography of Polish migration to Western Europe. Poles go abroad to improve their livelihoods: to work, earn competitive wages, and to study. Post-accession migrants hail mainly from small communities. The paper is based on empirical research in a small community of Wronka in the West Pomeranian Voivodship. The goal of this case study was to reconstruct the history of labour mobility of Wronka’s residents, identify migration paths of their families, and analyse the effects of labour migration on the sending community. Departing from the customary analytical lens, this study analyses Polish mobility from the point of view of the sending, not the destination community. In the context of Wronka, mobility has become the norm in this previously immobile community centred around the state-owned farm, and appears to be a strategy used to cope with social, economic, and political change.

Writers on structural change in the economy present the expansion of small business as one contributor to the process, but empirical analysis in Eastern Europe provides little support for this. The study's initial hypothesis was that the self-employed can change occupations more easily than the employed and thereby facilitate the structure-change process. Analysis of individual-level data from the Central Statistical Office labour survey, however, suggests that on Hungary's labour market, which has traditionally low mobility, the frequency of occupation change among the self-employed exceeded that among the employed at most in the early years of the 1990s.

This paper focuses on the identity strategies of people who experienced multiple migrations in their childhood. They are sometimes, especially in the USA, referred to as Third Culture Kids (TCK). The author claims that serial migration is connected with some challenges as well as with unique opportunities. The former encompass sense of temporariness, feeling uprooted, difficulties with building deep and stable relationships and constructing cohesive identity. Obviously not every TCK experiences this challenges, and some TCKs cope very well with them, but these are problems mentioned most often by participants of this research. On the other hand however such lifestyle enables young migrants to gain cultural and linguistic competences. In this paper identity dilemmas and strategies in three dimensions are highlighted: agency and control over one’s life, cohesion and continuity and social relations. The paper is based on 53 biographical interviews with adult TCKs of different nationalities.

After the political-economic transition in Hungary the strict rules of the market economy enforced a rapid adaptation to these new conditions. One aspect of this adaptation is the re-examination of the firms' location. In consequence of this relocation the preceding high (urban) concentration of the economic activity has been reducing since the relocating firms prefer suburban location to rural or urban sites.

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.

Z uwagi na trudności z konceptualizacją, osobisty, a zarazem polityczny charakter, pojęcie domu nie było szczególnie często wykorzystywane w naukach społecznych. Paradoksalnie, zainteresowanie kategorią domu nastąpiło w ostatnich dekadach w ramach badań nad mobilnością i transnarodowością oraz w odniesieniu do migrantów, u których jego tradycyjne rozumienie zostaje w pewien sposób sproblematyzowane. Z jednej strony wskazuje się na wykorzenienie migrantów, ich poczucie bezdomności i zagubienia, z drugiej natomiast, w ramach studiów feministycznych czy transnarodowych, dokonywano dekonstrukcji tradycyjnie pojmowanego pojęcia domu i przywiązania do miejsca. W niniejszym artykule próbuję prześledzić tę ewolucję i wskazać na różne konceptualizacje domu w naukach społecznych. Następnie, opierając się na wywiadach biograficznych z osobami, które od dzieciństwa migrowały ze swoimi rodzicami (Third Culture Kids) i kontynuują mobilny styl życia w dorosłości, analizuję różne sposoby ujmowania domu. Wskazuję na wyłanianie się innych niż terytorialne definicji domu, związanych z bliskimi osobami, określonym momentem życia czy pewnymi rutynowymi działaniami. Część wywiadów ilustruje również pozytywne aspekty „bezdomności” i nomadyczności, związane przede wszystkim z transgresją i wolnością.

Because of the difficulties with conceptualization and its intimate as well as political character, the notion of home was not often used in social sciences. Paradoxically, the interest in “home” in the last several decades appeared mainly in the frames of mobility and transnational studies or with reference to migrants, whose understanding of home is often problematized. On the one hand, research suggest uprooting of migrants, their sense of homelessness and disorientation, on the other however in the frames of feminist or postmodern studies we could witness a deconstruction of traditionally defined home or place attachment. Thus, this article is aimed first at analysing this evolution and discussing different conceptualizations of home in social sciences. Subsequently, based on biographical interviews with people who have since childhood migrated with their parents (Third Culture Kids) and followed mobile lifestyle in their adult life, different ways of describing home are considered. They include other than territorial definitions, referring to significant others, certain period of life or particular routines. Some interviews demonstrate positive aspects of “homelessness” and nomadic attitude connected primarily with freedom and transgression.

The paper presents the answers to the so-far unanswered questions concerning the origin of the eminent courtier of Wenceslas IV and later the archbishop of Prague, Konrad von Vechta, and his brother Konstantin. On the basis of a study of the sources, the author disproves the thesis on the two brothers being from the Bremen patrician family von Vechta, which has prevailed in the literature, and on the other hand documents that they came from the Puls family in Vechta. They left for Prague because of their university studies – Konstantin passed his baccalauréate exam at the Faculty of Arts in 1387 while Konrad was matriculated at the then independent Law University in 1390. Their later career indicates chat opportunities for social climbing were offered by a medieval university regardless of the degrees attained.
