Abstract

In this article, the German minority, and in fact activity of The German Minority SocioCultural Society in the Opole Silesia has been presented as a model. Although it is not a political party, it acts as the organization of this type. Within this border region, its representatives are quite successful in political competition - especially in areas where the concentration of the identity and interests is the most noticeable (due to strength and intensity) and therefore the most significant - at the local level.
