Ścieżki karier polskich polityków — w kierunku nowego modelu?

Abstrakt

The article presents the career paths of Polish politicians with a particular focus on parliamentarians, using data obtained from empirical research conducted as part of a research project devoted to Polish political parties and by referring to available research and models proposed by Polish and foreign researchers. The text not only tries to explain the motivations for starting activity in political parties (both individual and socio-political), the reasons for choosing a particular grouping, or provide factors influencing the decision to run in the election, but also proposes three contemporary models of Polish politicians’ career paths, forecasting possible changes in the future.
