Die Publikation Arbeitnehmerfreizügigkeit zwischen Deutschland und Polen geht auf die internationale und interdisziplinäre Konferenz: Arbeitnehmerfreizügigkeit zwischen Polen und Deutschland – eine interdisziplinäre Bilanz nach 1,5 Jahren zurück, die am 11. Oktober 2012 an der Europa-Universität Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder) in Kooperation mit dem Willy Brandt Zentrum der Universität Breslau stattfand. Der Fokus des vorliegenden Bandes liegt im Bereich der rechtlichen Grundlagen der Arbeitnehmerfreizügigkeit, des Arbeits- und Steuerrechts sowie der kulturwissenschaftlichen Aspekte. Das Zusammenwirken der hier genannten wissenschaftlichen Bereiche stellt ein Novum in der Polenforschung dar, die traditionell in den geisteswissenschaftlichen Fächern, insbesondere der Polonistik und Geschichte, angesiedelt ist. Die enge Verknüpfung der jeweiligen Fachwissens aus den Bereichen Rechts-, Wirtschafts- und Kulturwissenschaften sowie die Verbindung von wissenschaftlicher Exzellenz mit einem klar formulierten Anwendungsbezug kennzeichnen die Ausnahmestellung des hier vorliegenden ersten Bandes der Schriftenreihe Polish Studies Interdisciplinary.
Der demographische Wandel stellt Polen und Deutschland vor große Herausforderungen. Die „Überalterung der Gesellschaft“ und das „Aussterben ländlicher Regionen“ prägen die öffentliche Debatte. Im vorliegenden Band werden ungewohnte Perspektiven auf das Phänomen präsentiert. Die Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts, die spezifischen Bedingungen der Grenzregion und die Revision stereotyper Vorstellungen vom Altern tragen zu einer differenzierten Diskussion der Bevölkerungsentwicklung bei.
“Cultures in Times of Transition” explores how the transformations of the 1980s and 1990s affected everyday life for citizens on both sides of the Iron Curtain; how ideas of “the other” circulated before and after the fall of the wall; and what a future utopia looked like for citizens of the East. These contributions range from the history of agricultural change, urban studies, linguistics, and legal history. They mirror the broadness of questions concerning the transition, but also hint at the heterochronous nature of those transformations.
Daniel Logemann is an architect. In his dissertation, his house, he has taken blueprints and built spaces for the family. There are two neighbors living in this communal apartment: East Germans and Poles. Their personal apartments are by-and-large equitable: the East Germans got the apartment with a garage to park their car and bicycle, while the Poles got the one with a balcony to see the city. In other words, East Germans got the economy, Poles got political liberalism.

As a student at Berkeley, I was once a graduate assistant in a history of modern Europe lecture seminar. The professor was a West Europeanist, although the themes of the seminar bridged both East and West. Throughout the otherwise well-taught seminar, I was struck by the lack of attention on the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth or its various permutations after partition. Indeed, Poland offers perhaps one of the best case studies to explore major themes of modern European (and global) history. It was a place where Christianization, the Enlightenment, nationalization and industrialization all took root in various (frequently unexpected) forms. In the twentieth century, particularly, Poland was not only a case study: it was the central theater in Europe where ideologies of various stripe fought each other in word and deed. While the country is usually only treated as a side note in history lectures, three recent publications reveal how central Poland can be in understanding European history. Each book offers different approaches to the grand narrative of this region, and all are revisionist when compared to the traditional story told by conservatives in Poland, even if they vary greatly in the degree of revision. They represent in a nutshell the various ways in which Polish history is being interpreted by academics and the society at large. The first book, by University of Vienna researcher Patrice Dabrowski, takes the first thousand years of Polish history; the second, by London School of Economics and Political Science professor Anita Prażmowska, begins in the nineteenth century; the third, by University of Michigan professor Brian Porter-Szűcs, focuses primarily on the twentieth century. The authors' point of departure arguably frames the way in which they tell the story of Poland.
