Eastern Europe Research in the Second Polish Republic.The Relationship between Politics and Science.

本项目探讨政治公众、科学专业知识和政治参与之间的关系，直至具有跨学科特征的东欧研究发展的结果，并分析该研究在政治中的功能及其在科学系统中的地位。其目的是确定通过从事有关欧洲东部的科学新闻工作而找到其主题的机构和个人，他们承担了有效支持东欧形象的领导职能，并代表了科学、新闻和政治之间的密切联系。本研究项目着眼于波兰对东方态度的西方欧洲定位的关键问题。因此，我们关注的是建立基线，将东方固定在现代波兰国家的历史中，并对其进行描述。该项目的重点是分析在中心和外围担任领导职务的机构、行政工会和个人的新闻材料。华沙、维尔纽斯和利沃夫不仅是东欧制度化研究的区域中心，而且还代表了以历史-区域取向、地缘政治-帝国主义方法和民族-政治焦点的形式进入东欧的防御性范例，这些形式涉及到与东部邻国的关系。本研究论文的目的是详细阐述波兰对东欧科学和政治研究的有效性和特点，并描述这一研究领域的构成及其差异。但这也是一个解释的问题，在两次世界大战之间形成的历史和政治研究的一般思想结构（如种族和耕地研究或德国对东欧的研究要素）是如何被采用和应用的，或者，波兰对东欧的研究产生了哪些超国家的影响，以及这种研究影响了波兰科学定位的哪个维度。通过与政治目标的比较，通过对外交和少数民族政策的影响，以及对现代波兰国家的社会意识的影响，应该试图阐述功能政治研究的有效性。最后但并非最不重要的是，“东欧”一词作为一个极其灵活的知识概念的一般和具体使用问题。

This project pursues the relation of political general public, scientific expertise and political invol­vement up to the consequence of the development of an Eastern Europe research with an interdisci­plinary character and analyses the functionality of this research in the politics as well as its position in the scientific system. The purpose is to identify the institutions and persons who found their sub­ject-matter by working on the scientific-journalistic tasks concerning the European East, who un­dertook the leadership funcion supporting effectively an Eastern European image and who represent a close connection between the science, journalism and politics. This research project sees the key issue of the occidentally European positioning of Poland in the attitude against the East. Thus, the concern is to establish the baselines, which fix the East in the history of the modern Polish state and describe it.The project is focused on the analysis of the journalistic materials of institutions, administration unions and persons, who assumed the leadership at the centre as well as in the periphery. Warsaw, Vilnius and Lviv are here not only the regional centres of an institutionalised Eastern European re­search but they represent also the defenitive paradigmatic accesses to Eastern Europe in the form of a historical-regional orientation, geopolitical-imperialistic approach and nationalities-political focus which regards the relations to the Eastern neighbouring countries.The objective of this research paper is to elaborate the efectiveness and specifics of the Polish rese­arch on Eastern Europe in relation to the science and politics and to describe the constitution of this field of study in its differentiation. But it is also a question of explanation, how the general thought structures of the historical and politological research, which were formative in the period between the world wars (such as the ethnic and arable land research or the elements of the German research on the Eastern Europe), were adopted and applied, or, which supranational impact the Po­lish research on the Eastern Europe developed and which dimension of the Polish location for science this research influenced. It shall to be attempted to elaborate the effectiveness of the rese­arch in the functional politics as for instance by the comparition with the political objectives and by the influence on the foreign and minority policy but also on the social awareness of the modern Po­lish state. Last but not least it is a matter of the general and specific use of the term 'Eastern Europe' as an extremely flexible intellectual conception.
