The texts gathered here are the result of co- operation between employees of the Faculty of Education, Psychology and Sociology of the University of Zielona Góra and the colleagues from natio- nal and foreign scientific centres. Invitation to cooperate has been accep- ted by researchers from Germany, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine, Romania, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Some articles are the result of joint projects, others are such projects’ announcement. We assume that the edition of the English-speaking volume of the annual will provide a boost to the deve- lopment of international research ventures involving researchers from our faculty. There are strong indications that this plan has a chance of success. The volume contains more than twenty studies on issues of trust, co- operation and education and mutual links between these phenomena. It has been divided into three parts. In the first part we have placed texts which deal with the issue of trust, in the second part cooperation is the dominant feature, while the last part is focused on education and its relationship with cooperation. The topics proposed by the authors of the articles suggest that social researchers do not hide themselves in an ivory tower, they are not afraid to deal with tough, but socially important and current topics. Therefore, texts relating to the refugee crisis in Europe, populism, the situation in Ukraine, social conflicts and the situation in the labour market will be found here. The volume begins with the article written jointly by the editors of this collection. It contains an attempt to characterize the contemporary times as the era of increasing isolationist trends. Above all, however, It is an invitation to research cooperation for the strategy of building a “common space”, a space for encounter, dialogue and interaction. We would like all the volume to contribute to breaking down barriers between groups and human beings. Our expectations have already come true to some extent, as in the course of the preparations we have experienced goodwill from many people. Thank you for your trust and support. Have an enjoyable and fruitful reading. Dorota Bazuń Mariusz Kwiatkowski ROCZNIK LUBUSKI Tom 42, cz. 2a, 2016 Dorota Bazuń* Mariusz Kwiatkowski** COMMON SPACES IN THE DAYS OF ISOLATIONISM. OUTLINE OF THE INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH PROGRAMME “The touchstone of morality in a global society is leveraging connectedness for utilitarian ends: achieving the greatest good for the greatest number of pe- ople” (Khanna 2016, p. 384). The specter of isolationism is haunting the world. Manifestations of this trend can be observed in both the international, national and local rela- tionship, and in the sphere of politics, economy and culture. More and more representatives of various social groups, regions and states concludes that their problems can be solved best by separating from others. This tendency manifests itself both in mild forms, such as nurturing and strengthening national identity, and extreme ones, such as religious fundamentalism and terrorism related to it. The aim of the article is to present the outline of the interdisciplinary research programme, which is supposed to be a response to the isolationist tendencies, as a serious challenge of our times. Three proposals are formu- lated and justified here. The first concerns research issues. As the subject of the analysis, we intend to make the ability to create good and lasting connections among social groups, cultures, institutions, or-in short- to bu- ild and support “common space”. The second proposal refers to the way of articulating the indicated issues. It concerns going beyond the narrow boundaries of the disciplines and the creating an interdisciplinary research program. The third proposal relates to forms of research cooperation. We propose to use the already existing contacts and create an interdisciplinary *Dorota Bazuń – Ph.D. in Sociology, University of Zielona Góra; research interests: social change, revival, social economy, sociology of body; e-mail: [email protected] **Mariusz Kwiatkowski – Ph.D. in sociology, Associate Professor, University of Zielona Góra, head of the Unit for Social Networks; research interests: sociology of orga- nization, social networks, social economy; e-mail: [email protected] 12 Dorota BAZUŃ, Mariusz KWIATKOWSKI research network, as the most adequate to the identified needs, objectives, and, above all, research tasks. The article consists of three parts. In the first part we characterize the research subject, that is a “shared space” in the context of the isolationist trends present in different spheres
