Marcin Ślarzyński Preface This is a sourcebook on gender quotas in the post-Communist world. As befi tting a sourcebook, we compiled a variety of sources, including from academics and legislators. Legislators are the core of this book: we present their powerful voice which strongly shapes the situation of women’s political inequality across the post-Communist world. As editors, we selected the sources and decided on their presen- tation. Within each chapter, as necessary, we communicate our de- cisions. In the main, our goal was to present these sources to the English-speaking world in as clear and natural and readable and accessible way as we could. We are grateful to the translators. Translation was essential to bring out the voice of the parliamentarians and the situation of gender quotas throughout the post-Communist world to English language readers. Anna Sedysheva translated some of the Russian media and academic research on the state of gender quotas that informed her Chapter Three. Jerzyna Słomczyńska translated much of the 1990s gender quota study that appears in Chapter Four. Anna Purisch translated all of the Polish parliamentary debate that appears in Chapter Five. Adrianna Zabrzewska, a co-editor of the book, translated some of the material in Chapter Four and the entire interview with Małgorzata Fuszara in Chapter Six. She also translated some of the Polish Parliamentarian survey 2011 for her analysis in Chapter Seven. For Appendices B and C, in 2011 Anna Boczko-Dombi translated the data to English. 7 Preface We thank Jacek Kurczewski, the author of the book on Polish parliamentarian representation that was translated, in part, in Chapter Four. Professor Kurczewski owns the copyright to that book and granted us permission to reproduce translated parts. He reminded us that Professor Fuszara was essential for that 1990s study. We thank also Professor Fuszara for granting the interview that appears in Chapter Six. We thank Irina Tomescu-Dubrow for her comments on the early stages of the book, and Renata Siemieńska who, since the 1980s, has published in English and Polish foundational studies of women in politics in Poland. We thank past and present Polish parliamentarians whose voices appear throughout the book. We are grateful for the time they took to speak with social science researchers. This book was funded by the National Science Centre, Poland (project number 2016/23/B/HS6/03916), PI Joshua K. Dubrow. We dedicate this book to the Women’s Congress – Kongres Kobiet – and to everyone who pushes upward for gender quotas throughout the post-Communist world. About the Contributors Joshua K.

I Voice, Inequality, and Representation By Joshua K. Dubrow and Adrianna Zabrzewska This is a sourcebook on gender quotas in nations that experienced multiple generations of Communist Party rule. We built the book from a variety of sources and disciplines for use in research, teaching, and activism. We intend for the book to provide an introduction to gender quota policy and, thus, to the cross-national problem of women’s political inequality of voice. Voice may be defi ned as the expression of needs and interests within a political system (e.g. Verba, Schlozman, and Brady ). The political system we are concerned with is democ- racy. In democracy, parties and parliamentarians represent women and other social groups through voice within formal political in- stitutions, or what Max Weber called the “halls of power.” Power wielded by parties and parliamentarians through voice – e.g. on gender quota policy – impacts the political representation, and thus the life chances, of women. In all democracies, there is a gendered political inequality. Political inequality of voice may be defi ned as structured diff erences in opportunities and access to political de- cision-making and decision-makers (Dubrow ). Quota policy should be designed to provide substantial equitable opportunities and access to those decision-makers and their political decisions by the creation of new, favorable circumstances for women to be par- liamentarians. We present the voice of the parliamentarians whose job it is to write, promote, and enforce the policies that help move society 11 Joshua K. Dubrow

STUDIES AND RESEARCH DOI: 10.1515/pcssr-2015-0025 UEFA EURO 2012™ in the Polish Sociopolitical Narration Authors’ contribution: Tomasz Michaluk A-E, Krzysztof Pezdek A-E A) conception and design of the study University School of Physical Education in Wrocław, Poland B) acquisition of data C) analysis and interpretation of data D) manuscript preparation E) obtaining funding ABSTRACT Sport constitutes an increasingly popular language of discourse in modern societies, providing a (formal) system of signs, which is easily used by, among others, businesses, media, public persons, and, particularly willingly, politicians. Thus, sport as a system of meanings can transfer any values, being at the same time a pragmatic way of arguing in the practice of social life. An example we analyze, are the events that took place after Poland (and Ukraine) had been chosen to be host countries of UEFA EURO 2012™, as well as those which took place during the tournament itself. In these analyses, we use the concept of semiotics and, in particular, pragmatism as well as Charles Sanders Peirce’s triadic sign relation. KEYWORDS UEFA EURO 2012, sport, values, semiotics, Peirce Introduction In free and democratic Poland, member of the European Union since 2004, a tournament of the size and importance of the European Championship was organized for the first time in 2012. In April 2007, UEFA 1 chose Poland and Ukraine (non-EU member) as host countries of UEFA EURO 2012™. This measurably influenced a whole body of political, economic, and social processes that took place within the country. After five years of preparation, the tournament took place in June 2012 in sports facilities the majority of which were built or renovated especially for this purpose; and the final match was played in the stadium in Kiev, Ukraine, on 1 July 2012.

  • Poland in the EU Unavoidable Marginalisation with a Small Question Mark
    PERSPECTIVE Warsaw Poland in the EU Unavoidable marginalisation with a small question mark by GRZEGORZ GROMADZKI February 2018 n Under the current Law and Justice (PiS) government, Poland’s relations with EU institu- tions have sunk into a deep crisis. However, the problems occurred long before this. Looking at the last quarter-century, one notices a significant change in paradigms re- garding Poland’s relations with the EU. These changes have taken the country away from the main trend of European integration, from pro-integrational determination from the times of its accession to the EU, through integrational stagnation which last- ed until the end of the PO-PSL coalition government, up to the regress in integration which started when PiS came to power in 2015. n The most likely scenario for Poland’s relations with the EU until the end of the next Sejm in 2023, provided PiS continues to rule Poland, is that the sharp conflict with European institutions over Poland’s government breaching the rule of law will continue. Less prob- able is that Poland under PiS will reach a modus vivendi with the European Union (the second scenario), as this would require Warsaw to back down from actions that pose a threat to liberal democracy. Even more unlikely is a third scenario – an attempt to return to the situation that existed before the PiS government – if the current opposition wins in 2019, of which, as yet, there are no indications. All three scenarios spell Poland’s unavoid- able marginalisation in the EU. The first one would end with Poland being ostracised.

    pejzaże kultury Urszula Chowaniec Feminism Today, or Re-visiting Polish Feminist Literary Scholarship Since 1990s Almost every time the gendered perspective on a particular issue (so often called oblique- ly the woman’s voice) appears in the media, it is immediately confronted by the almost for- mulaic expression “feminism today,” which suggests instantaneously that feminism is, in fact, a matter of the past, and that if one needs to return to this phenomenon, then it requires some explanation. Such interconnections between gender, women and feminism are a con- stant simplifi cation. The article seeks to elaborate this problem of generalization expressed by such formulas as “feminism today.”1 “Feminism today” is a particular notion, which indeed refers to the long political, social, economic and cultural struggles and transformations for equality between the sexes, but also implies the need for its up-dating. Feminism seems to be constantly asked to supply footnotes as to why the contemporary world might still need it, as though equality had been undeniably achieved. This is the common experience of all researchers and activists who deal with the ques- tioning of the traditional order. Even though the order examined by feminism for over 200 years has been changed almost all over the world to various extents, the level of equal- ity achieved is debatable and may still be improved in all countries. Nevertheless, the word feminism has become an uncomfortable word; hence its usage always requires some justi- fi cation. During the past few years in Britain, attempts to re-defi ne feminism may be noted in various media.

It was assumed that the Pol- ish process of constitutionalization was characterized by a number of specific features which were interrelated and dependent on each another. The aim of the paper is to rec- ognize the phased character of the changes as the first feature of the political transfor- mation process in Poland, whereas compromise should be regarded as its basic attribute. Other specific features (presented in the subsequent parts of the article) include: evolu- tionary, temporary, and pragmatic nature of the process.
