I would like a summary of major studies of stratification, class and mobility conducted in Poland and/or Central and Eastern Europe since 1989. What has been written on this subject?
Hello Prof Dubrow
This is available from ResearchGate - it might be of interest to look at other publications by Prof Kraaykamp:
Kraaykamp, G., & Nieuwbeerta, P. (2000). Parental background and lifestyle differentiation in Eastern Europe: social, political, and cultural intergenerational transmission in five former socialist societies. Social Science Research, 29(1), 92-122.
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/222839365_Parental_Background_and_Lifestyle_Differentiation_in_Eastern_Europe_Social_Political_and_Cultural_Intergenerational_Transmission_in_Five_Former_Socialist_Societies
This paper is also on ResearchGate and again, might be worth looking at other papers by the authors:
Treiman, D. J., & Ganzeboom, H. B. (2000). The fourth generation of comparative stratification research. The international handbook of sociology, 122-150.

This paper is obtainable from ResearchGate but the full text available from other sources immediately:
Evans, G., & Mills, C. (1999). Are there classes in post-communist societies? A new approach to identifying class structure. Sociology, 33(1), 23-46.

I would begin with the excellent study by David Stark and Bruszt: Post socialist pathways. It is on Hungary but it examines the reconstitution of the Hungarian elite and in fact is generalizable to many other countries. Thomas Piketty (Capital in the 21st Century) also has interesting things to say on this.
At the other end of the social spectrum, you might like to look at the 'e-special' edition of Work Employment and Society I edited with Hanna Danilovich, Martin Upchurch and Claudio Morrison on 25 years of transformation in CEE. It is available electronically from the WES site and also on the Middlesex University research repository. There are numerous articles there plus an editorial.
I have more literature that is based within Nepal, but this is a good way to start --

On Poland, you might want to look at the work of Polish sociologist Prof. Henryk Domański, also of social psychologist Prof. Janusz Czapiński. Do you speak Polish?
