In the post-Communist period, the territory - which under communism was an expression of the sovereignty of the centralized state - now carries the founding aspirations of local or regional communities which are determined to reconstitute political relations on a different basis. This is illustrated by focusing on negotiations to define cross-border (Oder-Neisse) economic privileges and on political competences in the region of Upper Silesia. An examination of these themes allows us to define the post-Communist identity as a construct of collective action, based on the reinvestment of various historical resources and on the formation of cleavages directed at redefining relations between the centre and the political periphery. Several features of the old political order have been reconstituted in this way.-Dans la période post-communiste, le territoire - qui sous le communisme était une expression de la souveraineté de l'état centralisé- supporte maintenant les aspirations fondatrices des communautés locales ou régionales qui sont résolues à reconstituer les relations politiques sur des bases différentes. Une examination des négociations pour définir des privilèges politiques à travers la frontière (Oder-Neisse) et pour les compétences politiques dans la région de Haute-Silésie illustre ceci. L'exploration de ces thèmes nous permet de définir l'identité post-communiste comme une construction de l'action collective, basée sur le réinvestissement de diverses ressources historiques et sur la formation de divisions orientées vers la redéfinition des relations entre le centre et périphérie politique. Plusieurs traits de l'ancien ordre politique ont ainsi été reconstitués
