Summary/Abstract: This article presents the not new, but still fascinating, subject of the impact of regional differences in Poland on civic attitudes and behaviour. It is based on the assumption that the territories subject to the Prussian Partition, the Russian Partition or the Austrian Partition, respectively, of Poland in the 19th century still have very important differences in their civic traditions in today’s Poland.The so called Northern and Western Territories incorporated into Poland after WWII (and formerly belonging to Prussia) are a separate issue and are discussed separately.In the article, the main indicator of this differentation consists of the attitudes and behaviours with respect to social consultations. This article utilises outputs of the research into civic participation which was carried out within the framework of the programme “Let’s decide together”, financed byEuropean Union and accessed thanks to the Foundation of the Public Affairs Institute in Warsaw.
