Polish Sociological Review

Polish Sociological Review Polish Sociological Review formerly The Polish Sociological Bulletin, first published in 1961 is a quarterly of the Polish Sociological Association, an organization which maintained its independence from the communist regime. For many years Polish Sociological Review presented the achievements of Polish sociology and aquainted readers abroad with the most interesting examples of theoretical studies and empirical research conducted and discussed in Poland. The Polish Sociological Review’s Editorial Board hopes to stimulate a greater response to the most important ongoing social, political and cultural phenomena in post-communist Central-Eastern Europe. We would like to encourage sociologists and other social scientists in Central-Eastern Europe, and everybody else who is concerned with the specific problems of this region, to co-operate with the Polish Sociological Review for the sake of more accurate diagnosis and explanation of the social dimension of local and regional systemic transformation.
