Globalizacja a tożsamość narodowa i europejska Polaków po przystąpieniu do Unii Europejskiej 
National and European Identity of Poles after Accession to the European Union

Summary/Abstract: The simultaneous processes of globalisation and European integration strongly influence the identity and culture of the European people. The enlargement of the European Union to the east in 2004 and 2007, and the increase in the number of member states, has led to changes within the ethnic and national structures of the whole Union. People are experiencing a conflict of cultures, traditions and religions due to migration. All the aspects of everyday life interpenetrate with one another and are contrasted with the existing stereotypes. This thesis is concerned with an analysis of the changes that the Polish peoples’ consciousness has undergone after the accession to the European Union. The theory presented in this dissertation is based on the information provided in the literature on the subject: articles, professional journals, and reliable Internet sources. Moreover, the results are supported with statistical data acquired from the website of the Central Statistical Office and the CBOS (Polish Public Opinion) research. The empirical work has been carried out on the basis of personal research. The research has been performed through the use of a questionnaire which was completed by 400 randomly chosen citizens of Poland. The respondents have been assigned to several groups; the residents of villages; towns of up to 50000 residents; cities with more than 50000 residents.
