Poland, like many societies across the world, is becoming more
polarized in diverse areas of life, as contending forces seek to
advance incompatible agendas. The polarization over values in
Polish politics was evident already before communism collapsed but
became more obvious in the following years and reached a crescendo
after the October 2015 parliamentary elections, which brought a
right-wing party into power. This volume focuses on the years since
1989, looking at the clash between civic values (the rule of law,
individual rights, tolerance, respect for the harm principle,
equality, and neutrality of the state in matters of religion) and
uncivic values (the rule of a dictator or dictatorial party,
contempt for individual rights, bigotry, disrespect for the harm
principle, unequal treatment of people whether through
discrimination or through exploitation, and state favoritism of one
religion over others). The authors address voting behavior,
political parties, anti-Semitism, homophobia, the role of the
Catholic Church, and reflections in history textbooks, fi lm, and
even rock music. This volume makes clear that for the foreseeable
future the conflict in Poland between traditional, conservative
values and liberal, civic values is likely to continue, provoking
tensions and protests.
