Instead of a journal published at intervals of half a year, transform! europe will from next year on present a year-book the vol- ume of which will be corresponding to the two issues of the journal. The year-book, which will for the first time be published in autumn, will be fo- cusing on specific topics, supplemented by contributions on the situation of the Left in Europe and in individual countries. By that we want to continue our efforts of creating an archive of the Left in Europe in the course of time. Like before, the newly conceived year-book will also be created in a joint European working process to which all the members and observers of our network can contribute and it will be published in different languages. Yet, by cooperation with befriended publishing houses we want to provide a new basis for distribution and thus raise the sales figures. The offer transform! is thus making to its friends, readers and interested observers will be supplemented by a new publication format bearing the title “Research and Discussion Papers” (working title), which will at irregular in- tervals, but at least four times a year, present the results of the research ini- tiated by transform! Besides that, we intend the further expansion of our multilingual electronic media, i.e. the website (http://www.transform-net- work.net/home.html) and the newsletter (http://transform-network.net/ newsletter.html). With the change of our publication strategy we do not in- tend a reduction but an expansion of our publishing activity, aiming at in- creasing its flexibility and usefulness as well for social and political actors as critical scholars. This is not the chance to review the seven years of publication of our jour- nal “transform!” and to critically evaluate it. Both as regards its quantity as well as its quality, the focus of almost 300 published contributions from 29 countries was on the discussion of the capitalist crisis which was triggered at the US real estate market in 2007, from there spilled over to Europe, where it developed into a crisis of the integration process and of politics. The least our journal can claim for itself in this context is that it not only facilitated a European working and discussing process through its European character 5 Editorial but also that it initiated a process of convergence in both the analyses and strategic considerations of the organisations contributing to it. The result of this cooperative process has been made accessible in four languages and in a user-friendly manner on the transform! europe website (http://transform-network.net/journal/issue-122013.html). We want to take this opportunity and thank all our authors, the team of translators which has over the years increased considerably, the technical co-workers and the readers accompanying us. The change of our production strategy is the result of a debate which last- ed for almost a year and was eventually decided upon by the members’ as- sembly which transform! europe was holding in Athens from 18-19 Septem- ber this year. Today, transform! is uniting 27 organisations from 19 European countries as members and observers. It presents itself as consolidated in its internal structures as well as its relationship to the European Left Party our network is associated with. In some political fields, its influence has increased, new partners have been won, regional expansion is proceeding and more possi- bilities are opening up. But the conclusion we arrived at our members’ assembly was that if we want to further extend our influence, enhance our involvement in social movements and in critical scientific discourses, especially if we are set to confront the European challenges originating in the crisis, changes in our working methods and structures are required. Without giving up the strength of being a pluralistic network, a community of independent organ- isations, transform! must sharpen its profile and character of a European po- litical foundation. This demands an upgrading of your institutionalisation and professionalization, while not dispensing with transform!’s second strength, namely the integration of volunteer work. In the sense of the word of a European political foundation, we must focus even more in our selection of topics on questions of European relevance. The division into two “major projects” – “Crisis/Crises” and “Strategies of the ‘Radical’ Left” – currently practised has proved successful and shall be con- tinued. 6 In order to make use of existing working contexts and new possibilities opening up by the promising start of the network ‘Academia’, a space of co- operation between critical scholars and transform! we must concentrate our efforts on ways of producing more communicable output. In this sense the new publication format already mentioned, ‘Research and Discussion Papers’, will be of particular importance. These papers should then be presented and discussed in workshops, transform! board meetings, the EL Summer University, with social movements and critical intellectuals the EL, the left group in the European Parliament, the GUE/NGL and, last but not least, with the leadership of European radical left parties, deputies and decision-making bodies. The issue 13 of our journal and the last one of its kind in the series, is once again dedicated to the analysis of the capitalist crisis and its dramatic effects on Europe. In this context, what we are particularly interested in are the possibilities and preconditions for change. This question is dealt with in contributions from the perspectives of social movements, trade unions and new movements, the critical academic as well as the political fields and es- pecially with regard to the severe social and political conflicts in Europe which are subject of the debate at the Fourth Congress of the Party of the European Left and the elections to the European parliament. n Walter Baier s always we have entrusted the design of our front page to an artist Awhose works are also displayed in the pages of the journal. Kostas Christopoulos is an Athens based visual artist. He studied painting in Ath- ens and Berlin and is a Ph.D. candidate in political sciences at the Aristotle University in Thessaloniki (see www.kostaschristopoulos.com). The works he has created especially for transform! are hommages to John Heartfield (Helmut Herzfeld). They combine painting, collage and de-col- lage from newspapers and other sources. 7 8 Critical Reflections on a Historic Crossroads André Tosel lobalisation is a historically constituted phenomenon, a stage in capital- Gism’s becoming the world. It cannot be reduced to the simple connect- ing of national markets. On the economic level it indicates the creation of a true world market that is de-segmented and decompartmentalised, trans- mitting goods, services, capital’s factors of production, people, ideas and values. It implies a loss of the centrality of national markets, which cease to be the representative economic units, and, inversely, involves the construc- tion of a new space in which transnational firms remake national markets. Trade regulation is transversal and imposes the same financialised capitalist system in all geographical spaces; but this identity is affirmed within a hier- archical territorial differentiation. The large countries which have emerged from what was called the Third Word – the BRIC countries, that is, Brazil, Russia, India and China – are entering a situation of unequally distributed global wealth. The inequalities between countries are increasing due to their growth differentials and demographic potentials. The equating of globalisation and the capitalist mode of production needs to be explained. What is it that is being globalised? What is leading to globalisation? There are two possible answers. The first is, with Marx, centred on the capitalist mode of production and indicates the mode of production recognised as his- torically specific, as founded on the extraction of surplus value and the ex- ploitation of living labour by abstract labour commanded by capital.

  • Political Thought of the “Fighting Solidarity” Organisation
    CHAPTER XIII FREEDOM, SOLIDARITY, INDEPENDENCE: POLITICAL THOUGHT OF THE “FIGHTING SOLIDARITY” ORGANISATION KRZYSZTOF BRZECHCZYN The goal of this article is to analyse the main lines of the political programme developed by the “Fighting Solidarity” organisation, centred on the three concepts given in the title, i.e. freedom, independence and solidarity. Since “Fighting Solidarity” is not prominently featured in books about Poland’s contemporary history, the first section of the article contains a brief description of the organisation’s history, while subsequent sections provide a description of the political thought developed by “Fighting Solidarity”. Section three contains an overview of the organisation’s attitude towards totalitarian communism; and section four, a synopsis of the idea of a “Solidary Republic”, which is in the political programme promoted by the organisation. The final section features a description of expectations of “Fighting Solidarity” members concerning the fall of communism and the consequential critical attitude of the negotiations conducted by representatives of “Solidarity” and the political opposition at the Round Table. Finally, the summary presents a concise evaluation of the organisation’s political thought. “FIGHTING SOLIDARITY” – A HISTORICAL OUTLINE “Fighting Solidarity” was established by Kornel Morawiecki in Wrocław in June 19821. The organisation was set up in response to growing disagreement between Władysław Frasyniuk and Kornel Morawiecki. The two activists were at variance as they promoted different methods of struggle with the communist system. In general, Frasyniuk claimed that social resistance should be a tool employed to force the authorities of the day to conclude another agreement with the society. Morawiecki contended that it should be a tool to oust the communists from power.

    Political Preferences Specificity of the Local Government Elections in Political Preferences 2020, vol. 26: 5-26 the Opolskie Province in 2018 journals.us.edu.pl/index.php/PP Submitted: 25/03/2020 Accepted: 08/06/2020 Marcin Ociepa University of Opole, Poland https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9748-160X Abstract: The objective of this paper is to analyse the political activity of the local community of the Opolskie Province in the local government elections in 2018 and to identify the characteristic features determining its specificity. The attempt to identify the electoral specificity of the region will consist in presenting a characterization of the region in terms of its size and population as well as its administrative and social aspects. An analysis of the elements inseparably connected with the election process, such as geography, voting turnout, the number of electoral registers and candidates, the types of electoral committees, is equally important. And finally, comments on the election results are significant as well. The local government elections of 2018 were held in a specific atmosphere, largely related to the amendment of the election law. Undoubtedly, the most characteristic aspect for the Opolskie Region is its last position among other provinces with regard to size and population, but it should not be forgotten that it is a borderland region inhabited by a high percentage of the German national minority, which actively shapes the image of not only the local communities at every level, but also the entire Opolskie Region as such. Keywords: local government elections, local elections, elections in Opolskie Province, 2018 local government elections in Opolskie Province Introduction A modern democracy cannot exist without elections; it is citizens’ participation in the election of their representatives in governing bodies that legitimizes their authority (Wojtasik 2011).

  • Poland Independent Vs Servile Relationships
    Chapter 4 Poland Independent vs servile relationships Bogusława Dobek-Ostrowska & Jacek Nożewski Abstract The Polish political and media systems changed dramatically after the 2015 parliamen- tary elections. The Law and Justice Party gained power and started to restructure the conditions for political communication – journalists, press secretaries and politicians. However, despite structural and organisational changes within public service media, journalists keep working and reporting about political events. This chapter presents the relationships between Polish journalists and their political sources – both politicians and press secretaries. The interviews show a mutual dependency between politics and the press, where both sides recognise the need for formal as well as informal relation- ships. The nature of the relationship varies with the political climate: when the political situation becomes complicated, politicians become less accessible and press secretaries block the information flow. As a result, journalists in Poland prefer direct contact with politicians and/or other complementary sources of information. The respondents further emphasised the need for a professional relationship and adhering to professional norms. Keywords: Poland, media-executive relationships, information access, professional roles, political communication Introduction After the semi-democratic election in 1989, Poland began to develop relationships between political executives and free independent media that were more similar to those in other democratic countries. Nonetheless, Poland has fallen behind in many international rankings, such as the World Press Freedom Index and the Democracy Index, since the parliamentary and presidential elections in 2015. The changes are closely related to the communication policies of the political executive in Poland, the main topic of this study. Providing a point of departure for the chapter, Table 4.1 summarises the political system and the media system in Poland.

Short history of the idea of a basic income1 in Europe and the US Since the 18th century the idea of a basic income has been discussed by many well- known personalities in Europe, first among them Thomas Paine and Thomas Spence. Starting point of their ideas was the then existing poverty of members of their society which would not have existed in what they considered the natural state of man. This natural state would then provide sufficient natural means of living to everybody to secure their existence. Therefore, privatising natural means owned by everybody in combination with a division of labour would inevitably have made it impossible to guarantee the securing of livelihood through natural means for the individual.

  • ORGANIC LAW 2/2007 Dated 19 March 2007, on Reform of the Statute of Autonomy for Andalusia
    ORGANIC LAW 2/2007 dated 19 March 2007, on Reform of the Statute of Autonomy for Andalusia. JUAN CARLOS I KING OF SPAIN To all who would present, see and understand this: know that Parliament has approved, and I am sanctioning, the following organic law. PREAMBLE Throughout its history, Andalusia has forged a robust and solid identity that grants it a singular character as a people, settled for thousands of years in a differentiated geographical territory that has served as a space for meeting and dialogue between diverse civilizations. Our valuable social and cultural heritage is an essential part of Spain in which we Andalusians acknowledge each other, and in which we share a common project based on the values of justice, freedom and security enshrined in the Constitution of 1978, the bulwark of the rights and freedoms of all the peoples of Spain. Andalusia has accumulated a rich cultural heritage due to the confluence of a multiplicity of peoples and civilizations, and has given more than noteworthy example of human admixture throughout the ages. The intercultural character of customs, habits and modes of life has expressed itself through time against a background of unity that amalgamates a historical pluralism and manifests itself in a collective and learned, dynamic and changing, tangible and intangible cultural heritage, unique among the cultures of the world. This synthesis casts the profile of an Andalusian personality built on universal, never-excluding values. For Andalusia, located in the south of the Iberian peninsula, is a territory of great diversity in landscape, with important mountain ranges and a great part of its territory articulated around and along the Guadalquivir, open to the Mediterranean and to the Atlantic through an extensive maritime front, constituting a nexus between Europe and the African continent: a frontier space that has facilitated contacts and dialogues between north and south, between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic arcs, where an urban system measured in human terms has arisen as a differential factor.
