Regional Identity of the Population in the Euroregion Nisa
Zich, František
Using biographic research methods the population in the Czech, German and Polish parts of euroregion were studied. The results show that for the time being no cross ůborder regional identity exist and each of the national parts can be characterised by a distinctiveness in the regional identity and mentality. The populationŽs identification with the region in the Czech part is generally based on the its environmental and aesthetic qualities. The least favourable situation for regional identity is evident in those parts in which the industry has been liquidated.

Working-class fraction of middle classes under socialism
Zich, František
The contribution focuses on the rise of the socialist middle classes from politically engaged workers after 1948 in the Czech part of the Nisa Euroregion. Rising career tracks have been documented: direct progress to the senior post, preparation of labour intelligence, support by accepting children from working-class families to universities. According to intergenerational biographical comparison, life's careers showed a shift from the working-class way of life. This socialistic middle class gained social and cultural capital and successfully adapted to the new conditions after year 1989.
