The article deals with the conception of cleavages & the prerequisites and/or possibilities for its application in the study of modern collective action. First, a brief history of the concept is introduced & some of its key later interpretations & elaborations are used to clarify the original theories of social divides & political conflicts, & to explore their structure, character & actors in more detail. On the grounds of these suggestions, the article reviews the cleavage "freezing" thesis & discusses the processes of transformation of modern cleavages, as well as the rise of "new politics" & "new social movements." Finally, a model of cleavage hybridization is proposed in order to explain the character, political context & history of some major present-day social movements. Adapted from the source document.

The cooperative movement has played a significant role in increasing the competitiveness of the economy and has promoted the European values of solidarity, self-government and democracy. In recent years, the cooperative idea has been linked with the local energy sector – in Europe and in Poland. The decentralization of energy production to local communities – thanks to the incredible development of new technologies in renewable energy – is now becoming a standard in Western Europe. These trends have also been visible in Poland for some time. Unfortunately, in Polish conditions the institution of cooperatives, including energy cooperatives, is negatively associated with the communist era. The main research question, around which the considerations in this article revolve, is as follows – why, despite the existence of a legal basis in Poland from 2016, energy cooperatives have not been created. The article will analyse the legal regulations relating to the functioning of the energy cooperative, taking into account its current status in the energy law. ; Ruch spółdzielczy odegrał znaczącą rolę w napędzaniu wzrostu i podnoszeniu konkurencyjności gospodarki oraz wspierał europejskie wartości solidarności, samorządności i demokracji. W ostatnich latach idea spółdzielczości związana jest z energetyką lokalną – europejską oraz polską. Decentralizacja energetyki idąca w kierunku wytwarzania energii na poziomie społeczności lokalnych – dzięki niesamowitemu rozwojowi nowych technologii w energetyce odnawialnej staje się dziś w Europie Zachodniej standardem. Trendy te widoczne są również od jakiegoś czasu w Polsce. Niestety, w polskich warunkach instytucja spółdzielni, w tym energetycznej, kojarzy się negatywnie – w związku z okresem PRL. Głównym pytaniem badawczym, wokół którego toczyć się będą rozważania w tym artykule, będzie pytanie – dlaczego mimo istnienia podstawy prawnej z 2016 roku w Polsce spółdzielnie energetyczne jednak nie powstają. W artykule tym analizie zostanie poddana regulacja prawna odnosząca się do funkcjonowania spółdzielni energetycznej, mając na uwadze obecny jej status w prawie energetycznym.

The Czech Republic is often said to be one of the most secular countries in Europe, or even in the world. For this, in accord with the secularization thesis, the modernization is often mentioned, where it was supposed that it automatically leads to the decline of religion in society. In my paper, I recapitulate the basic points of the secularization thesis and dissect its criticism which seems to be aimed at the idea, that secularization represents just an unintended effect of modernization. Based on this criticism, I deduce resources for analysis of the religious situation in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, I prove that Czech society is not so much atheist, but more dechristianized, and I focus on reasons of this dechristianization in political, social and class conflicts, which had, according to my opinion, a great impact on Czech church's religionism. In this paper, I address the conflicts between socialist movement and the Catholic Church, which as a result had a substantial effect on the dechristianization of the czech working class.
