The aim of the project is to identify and analyze the structural and qualitative changes that Jewish self-government underwent in Poland. The project covers the period from the Middle Ages to 1939, when Polish lands were one of the most important centers of the Jewish diaspora, with the partitions (1772-1795) and the regaining of independence (1918) serving as clear turning points. The main objective of the project is to examine Jewish self- government from two perspectives, both Jewish and non-Jewish. Issues related to the functioning of Jewish self-government are of key importance for the history of Jews, including Polish Jews, and undoubtedly also constitute a significant problem in studies on modernization changes in societies in Central and Eastern Europe.
