Summary/Abstract: The article aims to present the main assumptions of the author’s hypothesis concerning theexistence of incomplete political identities on the example of Poland. The hypothesis assumesthat such identities do exist, and due to the lack of the developed and stable model of socialization(in this case a model of political socialization) they are subject to transformations; however,not only to those that today are the result and the aftermath of globalization. The lack of the developedmodel of political socialization in the case of Poland, and thus an incomplete characterof Polish political identity, is the aftermath of such, and no other, history of our country — thatis, annexations, wars, communism or transformation. The consequences of this status quo aremultiple, both to the quality of the elites and to decisions they make (those that concern decentralizationand regionalization of the country in the main) as well as to the level of politicalparticipation.
