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

该项目追求政治公众、科学专门知识和政治参与之间的关系，直到一项具有跨学科性质的东欧研究的发展结果，并分析这项研究在政治中的功能以及它在科学系统中的地位。其目的是确定哪些机构和个人通过从事与欧洲东部有关的科学新闻任务找到了自己的主题，哪些机构和个人承担了有效支持东欧形象的领导职能，哪些机构和个人代表了科学、新闻和政治之间的密切联系。这一研究项目认为，波兰的西方欧洲定位的关键问题是对东方的态度。因此，人们关注的是建立基线，这些基线将东方固定在现代波兰国家的历史上，并对其进行描述。该项目专注于分析机构、行政工会和个人的新闻材料，他们在中心和边缘都承担着领导责任。华沙、维尔纽斯和利沃夫在这里不仅是制度化的东欧研究的地区中心，而且它们还代表着以历史-地区取向、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式。本研究论文的目的是阐述波兰东欧研究在科学和政治方面的有效性和特殊性，并在其分化中描述这一研究领域的构成。但这也是一个解释的问题，即两次世界大战之间形成的历史和政治学研究的一般思想结构(如民族和耕地研究或德国关于东欧的研究的要素)如何被采纳和应用，或者说，波兰对东欧的研究产生了哪些超国家影响，这项研究影响了波兰科学位置的哪个维度。试图通过与政治目标的比较以及对外交和少数民族政策的影响，以及对现代英国国家的社会意识的影响，来阐述这项研究在功能政治学中的有效性。最后但并非最不重要的一点是，作为一个极其灵活的智力概念，“东欧”一词的一般和具体用法是一个问题。

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.
