Après Solidarité
After Solidarity ? Poland enters the new stage under the impact of growing tensions inside of the ruling elite. Her vulnerable position between Russia and Germany offers some great historical changes but at the same time imposes upon Poles a formidable challenge. The main weakness is in the Polish economy definitely inadequate to the needs of the nation and its growing aspirations. Solidarity was an ambitious attempt to mobilize the whole nation …

The Phenomenon of Solidarity: An Attempt of Assessment
What happened in Poland in the early 1980s is fascinating in many respects. The possibility of changing the Communist system in a peaceful manner was once again tried without much success, this time by the mass movement of industrial workers, with some additional help offered by intellectuals. The importance of these events should be fully recognized. As Persky states, “For the first time, a workers' state had been forced to concede to its worker…
Les ouvriers polonais: Une classe qui s'éveille
Polish Workers: an Awakening Class. Blue collar workers in Poland have grown since the interwar period to a half of the total population and took over the numerical place of peasantry but with much more strategic location and at a definitively higher level of sophistication. During the 1950s and the 1960s still the peasant origin prevailed among blue collar workers but later on this has changed in favour of their own category plus the growing num…

Basis and Superstructure in Poland
For a long time state socialism in Eastern Europe has had a tendency towards ossification, and this leads to several negative consequences more or less clearly acknowledged by the local leadership. It is in the sociopolitical nature of the rigid Soviet-style system that any far-reaching reforms are difficult to introduce. Therefore, the Polish experiment of the 1970s started by Gierek and his équipe , after taking power in December 1970 from the …
The Impact of Authoritarian Rule on Basic Social Strata in Eastern Europe
AbstractLe style autoritaire d’administration est progressivement miné en Europe de l’Est par l’expertise croissante des masses d’une part et la complexité de la technologie (au sens le plus large du terme) d’autre part. Le problème essentiel concerne l’utilisation adéquate des ressources humaines à tous les niveaux de la vie sociale et économique. L’élite au pouvoir est encore fermement convaincue que tout contrôle public signifie contrôle du pa…
Les congés payés en Pologne
Annual Holidays in Poland. What people want to do during their vacations and what finally comes of it says a lot about their society. In socialist Poland the government directly or indirectly sponsors such vacations of the working people and the youth which are supposed to contribute to egalitarianism as well as to the public interest. The government controlled trade unions and the national enterprises maintain their holiday hostels available to …

La modernisation en Europe de l'Est: L'exemple polonais
Le processus de modernisation, dans les conditions du socialisme d'Etat de type soviétique, présente certaines particularités qui sont spécialement intéressantes dans le cas de la Pologne. La tradition aristocratique, héritée par l'intelligentsia, a beaucoup contribué à l'apparition d'une contradiction manifeste entre les valeurs dominantes et les orientations des Polonais et le modèle de développement emprunté aux Soviétiques. Déjà à l'époque de…

Spontaneity Versus Formalization in East Europe: Some Problems of Bureaucratization under State Socialism
The dilemma of spontaneity versus formalization is more or less valid for all societies. Freedom as the availability of alternative courses of action has been a precious cultural and moral value in history. The functional requisites of societies, related to communication, production, distribution, defense, replacement of members, and social control (Lenski, Lenski, 1974:28) have provided a more or less convincing justification for the limitation …
Recherche scientifique contre bureaucratisme en Pologne
Academic Research Versus Bureaucratization in Poland. There has been a substantial growth of the research potential in Poland, and the ambitions of many Poles are focused on it. The state primarily supports the applied research oriented towards the demands of industrialization. On the other hand the scientific culture and tradition remain so far mostly in the framework of higher education and of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Bureaucratization i…
Négociation de groupe et participation en Pologne
Group Bargaining and Participation in Poland. In order to understand the current state of bargaining between various large social groups in present day Poland it is not enough to be acquainted with the mechanism of the Soviet style communism. The local historical tradition also explains a lot. It is necessary to always remember that Poland is one of the few countries in Europe in which the gentry used to be very numerous and at the same time part…
Spontanéité contre formalisme en Europe de l'Est: Quelques problèmes de la bureaucratisation en régime socialiste d'Etat
Spontaneity versus Formalization in East Europe. Some Problems of Bureaucratization under State Socialism. Intermixing of organizational structures in the Soviet state socialism, dependence of the bureaucratic structure on the Party policy shifts, the ambiguous role of legality, the important role of laymen, as well as the relative shortage of skilled clerks and of the appropriate equipment, all these factors limit the scope and the depth of bure…

Les conditions psycho-sociales du travail dans les groupes scientifiques
La science moderne impose le travail en équipe. Celui-ci toutefois n est efficace que si l'équipe demeure un système ouvert capable de création. Un sondage effectué en 1964-1965 sur quatorze équipes scientifiques polonaises, au sein de sept disciplines différentes, a permis à l'auteur de mesurer les divers aspects du système social que constitue une équipe, en fonction d'un modèle sociologique préalable. Sur tous les points retenus, les équipes c…

The Upgraded Zambian
M ASSIVE SOCIAL ADVANCEMENT iS an obvious necessity in most developing countries. By this is meant not only advancement in material well-being, education and cultural sophistication, but just as surely the moral maturity of people who have to face new problems in their private and public life. This maturity presents one of the basic pillars of a nation's strength. The social image of modern Zambian society depends largely on the ability of the pr…
