Podcasts about Skarbek

Wonder Woman Podcast, Sezon 1, odcinek 9: Honorata Skarbek "Jestem mixem analitycznego umysłu i artystycznej duszy" Autorka podcastu Wonder Woman, wokalistka. Zainspirowana sugestiami i komentarzami moich odbiorców, postanowiłam jako zwieńczenie 1 sezonu podcastu Wonder Woman, odpowiedzieć na wybrane pytania od słuchaczy i oglądających, a na deser zaserwowałam odpowiedzi na pytania najbliższych mi kobiet- mojej mamy i moich 4 przyjaciółek, które poznaliście w poprzednich odcinkach. Jeśli chcecie odkryć kilka historii z mojego życia, dowiedzieć się czym jest dla mnie przemijanie, czy dopadnie mnie karma, co nie daje mi w nocy spać, dlaczego moja popularność spadła, jak moim zdaniem poradzić sobie z rozstaniem i wiele, wiele innych- zapraszam do słuchania i oglądania ostatniego odcinka 1 sezonu. Już 8 marca, w Dzień Kobiet odbędzie się premiera mojej piosenki WONDER WOMAN wraz z teledyskiem. Utwór opowiada o kobiecej naturze, odradzaniu się na nowo, woli walki z przeciwnościami losu oraz idei, która głosi, że co nas nie zabije, to nas wzmocni. W teledysku zobaczymy zestawienie kobiecej natury w formie dwóch żywiołów. Ogień symbolizuje siłę, pewność siebie i odwagę, a woda delikatność, wrażliwość i subtelność, a to wszystko przeplecione kobiecą, progresywną linia życia ukazującą symbolicznie niemowlę z mamą, dziewczynkę, nastolatkę, kobietę dojrzała i staruszkę. Niech piosenka Wonder Woman stanie się naszym kobiecym hymnem i dodaje siły, nadziei i motywacji w momentach kiedy najbardziej tego potrzebujemy.   @honkabiedronka ⁠WONDER WOMAN Podcast | Instagram, Facebook, TikTok | Linktree

Czkekałyśmy na tę rozmowę, odkąd Morgane Polański potwierdziła swój udział w filmie "Skarbek". To główna rola. I co? Wracamy po krótkiej przerwie za to z gościnią, której w żadnym innym polskim podcaście nie usłyszycie. Artystka tylko u nas zdradza tytuł pierwszego reżyserowanego przez nią pełnometrażowego filmu, mówi o fascynacji postacią Krystyny Skarbek nazywanej "ulubionym szpiegiem Winstona Churchilla", o przywiązaniu do Krakowa. Aż w końcui zdradza, jak zareagowali rodzice – Roman Polański i Emmanuelle Seigner – gdy jako nastolatka zapowiedziała karierę w showbiznesie i zażądała agenta.Ale zanim – gorące newsy kulturalne doprawione branżowymi ploteczkami.Zaczynamy od serialu "Balenciaga" na platformie Disney+. Wielka moda na tle trudnej historii XX wieku. Jako że zaczynamy od mody, przypominamy, że wielcy krawcy lubią inspirować się artystami i artystkami. A wyjątkowo często czerpią z barwnego stylu Fridy Kahlo. Tak się akurat składa, że 9 lutego w warszawskim Art Box Experience w Fabryce Norblina otworzyła się wystawa będąca biografią immersyjną "Frida Kahlo. Życie ikony". Opowiemy wam trochę o Meksyku.Stamtąd już niedaleko do Graceland, domu Elvisa Presleya, ale skupimy się na jego żonie, Priscilli, o której Sofia Coppola wyreżyserowała film, a sama zainteresowana z pomocą Sandry Harmon napisała książkę "Priscilla. Elvis i ja" (wyd. Znak).Skoro Elvis – nie było dotąd lepszego wcielenia króla rock'n'rolla niż to, które zaprezentował Austin Butler u Baza Luhrmanna. A że to aktor wyjątkowo zdolny, właśnie zachwyca w serialu "Władcy przestworzy" w AppleTV, zamykającym trylogię seriali wojennych obok "Kompanii braci" i "Pacyfiku" produkowanych m.in. przez duet Toma Hanksa i Stevena Spielberga.I pozostajemy w Stanach, wracając do nocy wręczenia muzycznych nagród Grammy. Kreślimy krótką biografię Tracy Chapman, wspaniałej artystki, tekściarki i kompozytorki. Niestety, niewystarczająco docenionej. Przypominamy hit z 1988 roku "Fast car", jak i prezentujemy fragment wersji wykonanej z muzykiem country Lukiem Combsem podczas Grammy Awards. Ale usłyszycie też wzruszającą balladę "Baby can I hold you" nagraną z Luciano Pavarottim.Czas na Wstrząśnięte, Nie Zmieszane. Tym razem niespodzianka i zagadka. Ciekawe, kto zgadnie?To co, zaczynamy?udźwiękowienie: Piotr Haraźnyoprawa graficzna: Karolina Żmijewska

Polska agentka brytyjskiego Special Operations Executive, która realizowała misje w okupowanej Francji, pierwowzór słynnej Vesper partnerki Jamesa Bonda bo przecież miała być przez pewien czas związana z autorem serii o Jamesie Bondzie, brytyjskim oficerem Ianem Flemingiem. Polka jak Bond pełniła służbę dla jej Królewskiej Mości, nie dla Polski. To tylko pierwsza z dużych kontrowersji związanych z tą postacią. Na prawdziwe fakty związane z tym czym naprawdę zajmowała się w czasie wojny nadal czekamy, gdyż dostęp do brytyjskich archiwów jest jeszcze utajniony. Część londyńskich dokumentów przeanalizowanych przez polskiego badacza Tomasza Muskusa mówi o wyjątkowej randze, którą miała Skarbek w służbach brytyjskich i co jest zupełną nowością planach wysłania jej do Polski. Nie wiadomo dlaczego jak ją później nazwano „ulubiona agentka Churchila” została po wojnie bez pracy, brytyjski wywiad nie chciał korzystać z jej usług, pomimo tego że w czasie wojny żołd za misję wypłacano jej w diamentach, już po wojnie miała problemy finansowe, musiała pracować jako pokojówka. Nie wiadomo czy jej śmierć była wynikiem kłótni kochanków czy robotą wywiadu, jeżeli tak to którego?

Kuten tämän podcastin kuluessa on huomattu, digitaaliset alustat käyttävät merkittävää valtaa monilla yhteiskunnan ja talouden osa-alueilla. Mutta millainen vallankäyttäjä digijättiyhtiö oikein on? Pitäisikö esimerkiksi kaupankäyntiä ja omia työmarkkinoitaan hallinnoivia yhtiötä tarkastella ennemminkin valtioina? Entä millaista on tekoälylaskennan globaali politiikka? Matti Ylösen kanssa digijättien pilvilinnojen portteja kolkuttelee Oxfordin yliopiston taloussosiologian ja digitaalisen yhteiskuntatutkimuksen professori Vili Lehdonvirta. Keskustelu kulkee läpi koko alustayhtiöiden vallan historian aina utopististen hakkeriyhteisöjen unelmista nykymaailman alustojen itsesääntelyyn ja kyberdiplomatiaan. Jaksossa selviää myös miksi Vilin entiset opiskelijat ovat pyytäneet professorilta ohjekirjaa valtion johtamiseen.

Bożena Skarbek, moja mama. Pierwszy sezon mojego podcastu WONDER WOMAN, zapragnęłam stworzyć z kobietami, które mnie ukształtowały i z tymi, które wciąż mnie kształtują. Wychodzę z założenia, że to niesamowicie istotne, jakimi ludźmi otaczamy się na co dzień i jaką energią wzajemnie się wymieniamy. Moja mama to odważna, silna, niezależna kobieta, która w swoim życiu musiała zmagać się z niejedną przeszkodą m.in. nowotwór złośliwy u córki czy trzy nowotwory złośliwe u siebie. Pomimo tego, wciąż tryska pozytywną energią, zaraża uśmiechem, a w sieci dodaje otuchy kobietom, udowadniając im, że wszystko jest możliwe i że tak wiele, zależy od nas samych. Od najmłodszych lat, pielęgnuje w sobie ogromną pasję do mody, którą dzieli się na swoich social mediach, mówi, że dzięki temu, odnalazła siebie na nowo. @bozenaskarbek WONDER WOMAN Podcast | Instagram, Facebook, TikTok | Linktree

Welcoming Peter Winneke, the writer behind "Give While You Live," Peter isn't just an author; he's a seasoned 'generosity' advisor and life legacy, boasting over two decades of experience in strategic, impactful giving in Australia. His expertise spans the establishment of more than 100 philanthropic family foundations, making him an advocate of 'pragmatic guidance' in the world of philanthropy. "Give While You Live" doesn't merely shine a light on best practice giving; it's a roadmap for redefining Australia's philanthropic landscape. Winneke offers a constructive critique, pinpointing areas where the sector can significantly enhance its practices, striving for more effective and impactful giving. Before his influential role in philanthropy, Winneke carved out a niche in the corporate sphere, honing his skills in insolvency, mergers, and acquisitions for 16 years. His travels to low-middle income countries during this time ignited a fervent passion for philanthropy's potential to combat injustice and drive societal change. In his book, Winneke adopts a refreshingly practical approach, urging families with substantial wealth to reconsider their legacy through purposeful giving. His counsel is straightforward: allocate a minimum 20% of one's net worth to a family foundation devoted to charitable causes, steering away from fragmented contributions in favor of focused support. By drawing from his vast experience working with influential entities like The Myer Foundation and Philanthropy Australia, Winneke advocates for family foundations not just as vehicles for giving but as platforms for imparting values and purpose to future generations. At the core of "Give While You Live" are 35 pragmatic case studies that spotlight the joy of giving while outlining strategies to maximize the impact of donations. Winneke's goal is not merely to encourage charitable acts but to instill a culture of strategic giving that endures, leaving a lasting imprint on communities. Renowned figures in the philanthropic sphere, such as Tim Costello AO and Anna Skarbek, laud Winneke's work for its potential to reignite conversations about legacy and purpose. Costello emphasizes the book's role in rekindling hope, while Skarbek acknowledges Winneke's capacity to inspire a fresh wave of strategic giving.

Today's guest is David Skarbek, an Associate Professor of Political Science and Political Economy at Brown University.  He is also the author of two books:The Social Order of the Underworld: How Prison Gangs Govern the American Penal SystemThe Puzzle of Prison Order: Why Life Behind Bars Varies Around the WorldWhen many people outside the prison system think of prison gangs, they think of chaotic bands of violent, racist thugs. Few people think of gangs as sophisticated organizations (often with elaborate written constitutions) that regulate the social and economic life of the prison. Yet as David argues, gangs form to create order among outlaws, producing alternative governance institutions to facilitate their illegal activity. David studies the political economy of these gangs within our prisons globally and his works have appeared in both economics and political science journals.  If you haven't read them yet, his books are also a great reference for all correctional officers.Texas Law Dawgs PodcastWelcome to the wild world of Texas Policing!

Była polską agentką brytyjskiej tajnej służby Kierownictwa Operacji Specjalnych (SOE), oraz wywiadowczyni Secret Intelligence Service.Winston Churchill - premier Wielkiej Brytanii tak o niej mówił: Piękna, inteligentna, piekielnie odważna, najlepsza moja agentka.Miała podobno romans z twórcą Jamesa Bonda i to ona jest jego pierwowzorem. Ian Fleming zamienił jednak jej spódnice na spodnie mężczyzny i tak powstał Bond czyli agent 007.Krystyna Skarbek miała tak ciekawe życie, że stanowi ono gotowy scenariusz filmowy. Miał nawet powstać o niej film, ale na razie sprawa ucichła. Jej życie i szpiegowanie dla Wielkiej Brytanii, ale podobno nie tylko, przypomina w rozmowie z Markiem Mierzwiakiem - Maria Trzeciak.

Please be advised that this episode contains mentions of violence and may be unsuitable for some listeners. I'd like to flesh out what I've been saying before about the power of economic analysis in explaining people's actions. Whereas when we normally think about motivation we think in terms of psychology, economists naturally think in terms of incentives. This kind of thinking is generally missing in educational discourse. There are two books that I found particularly fascinating and instructive on this point: The Social Order of the Underworld: How Prison Gangs Govern the American Penal System by David Skarbek; and The Invisible Hook by Peter Leeson. This recording focuses on the former. David Skarbek's book is fascinating and rich in both detail and theoretical explanation, so I focus on what I find most compelling and most relevant to transfer over to thinking about other contexts. First of all, he introduces existing criminological theories that aim to account for the rise in prison gangs, namely Deprivation theory and Importation theory. The former suggests that inmate behaviour is a result of the pain of imprisonment, and the latter focuses on pre-prison beliefs and experiences that are brought into prison. Skarbek departs from both of these theories, grounding his own analysis in political economy. He introduces us to the basic assumptions of economics - that people are self-interested and respond rationally to incentives - and goes on to describe the role of governance in society. His fundamental thesis is that prison gangs provide governance, meaning that they provide a form of public good which enhances personal safety and opportunities for trade (mostly in drugs). While I'm yet to fully apply the ideas of political economy to education (except for reading about it inThe Beautiful Tree, China's Examination Hell, and Education and the State), I feel that digging in to some examples like this can help us appreciate the reasons why people do things. Crucially, they are not all psychological. Enjoy the episode.

Reducing the carbon emissions of industry and government and ensuring the transition is just for all workers is vital for a net zero future. As chief executive of Climateworks Centre, Anna Skarbek drives critical research and sets ambitious goals to support the transition to a low carbon economy.   Anna Skarbek is recorded live in conversation with Benjamin Law at Powerhouse Ultimo.

Świetna rozmowa o współczesności. Chciałem już dawno porozmawiać z Honoratą, bo jest korespondentem mojego pokolenia z show biznesu.  Odnosiła sukces i mogła dookoła obserwować co się dzieje i jak wygląda kariera, że to sinusoida. Raz w górę, raz w dół. Zawsze głębsze przemyślenia są w dole. Tylko czy ona kiedykolwiek się tam zapuściła? Warto posłuchać. Jakie ma podejście do narkotyków, związków i życia. Honorata to ktoś zupełnie inny niż mogłaby się wydawać konsumując jej postać przez Instagram. 

This week we are joined by David Skarbek on how prison communities are organized and governed as well as their impact on social reform. Recommendations: Puzzle of Prison Order by David Skarbek Anarchy, State, and Utopia Kidnap: Inside the Ransom Business Halfway Home

Why are prisons so different from nation to nation? And how are these institutions governed internally and externally? David Skarbek sits down with Trevor and Aaron to explore differing methods of incarceration, the issues with each method, and how, or if, a prison can be considered “successful.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Prawdopodobnie nie znasz Krystyny Skarbek. Jej nazwisko nie jest tak popularne jak Mata Hari, James Bond czy nazwiska innych "popkulturowych" szpiegów.

Singer-songwriter James Walsh of Starsailor joins Sodajerker to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band's beloved debut album Love Is Here. During the conversation, James reflects on songs from the now classic album, what he's learned about songwriting over the years, and his experiences co-writing with pop acts.

Po pierwsze James Bond był kobietą. Po drugie nie pił martini z wódką. W ogóle nie pił alkoholu - ani wstrząsanego, ani mieszanego. Po trzecie jeździł Oplem, a nie Astonem Martinem. Ale wcześniej był dziewczynką, która wolała łazić po drzewach i ujeżdżać narowiste konie. A potem wyrosła na kobietę, która czuła, że żyje tylko, gdy ryzykowała życiem. Niektórzy mówią, że była pięknością, inni, że jej magnetyzm brał się z witalności, uśmiechu i umiejętności wczuwania się w emocje słuchacza. W czasie wojny została szpieginią brytyjskiej agencji wywiadowczej i podejmowała się najbardziej straceńczych działań. Poza adrenaliną równie mocno kochała tylko seks. To z powodu bujnego życia erotycznego tak niewiele o niej wiemy, bo towarzysze z podziemia sumiennie blokowali publikacje na jej temat w obawie, że przy okazji wyjdą na jaw przygody niegodne bohaterki wojennej odznaczonej najwyższymi medalami Anglii i Francji. Wśród jej kochanków znalazł się Ian Fleming, autor Bonda. Mówią, że to ona posłużyła mu za inspirację przy pisaniu postaci Vesper, ukochanej Bonda. Ale raczej była samym Bondem.

Many people think prisons are all the same-rows of cells filled with violent men who officials rule with an iron fist. Yet, life behind bars varies in incredible ways. In some facilities, prison officials govern with care and attention to prisoners' needs. In others, officials have remarkably little influence on the everyday life of prisoners, sometimes not even providing necessities like food and clean water. Why does prison social order around the world look so remarkably different?  In The Puzzle of Prison Order: Why Life Behind Bars Varies Around the World (Oxford UP, 2020), David Skarbek develops a theory of why prisons and prison life vary so much. He finds that how they're governed-sometimes by the state, and sometimes by the prisoners-matters the most. He investigates life in a wide array of prisons-in Brazil, Bolivia, Norway, a prisoner of war camp, England and Wales, women's prisons in California, and a gay and transgender housing unit in the Los Angeles County Jail-to understand the hierarchy of life on the inside. Drawing on economics and a vast empirical literature on legal systems, Skarbek offers a framework to not only understand why life on the inside varies in such fascinating and novel ways, but also how social order evolves and takes root behind bars.

Drawing on economics and a vast empirical literature on legal systems, Skarbek offers a framework to not only understand why life on the inside varies in such fascinating and novel ways, but also how social order evolves and takes root behind bars.

Many people think prisons are all the same-rows of cells filled with violent men who officials rule with an iron fist. Yet, life behind bars varies in incredible ways. In some facilities, prison officials govern with care and attention to prisoners' needs. In others, officials have remarkably little influence on the everyday life of prisoners, sometimes not even providing necessities like food and clean water. Why does prison social order around the world look so remarkably different?  In The Puzzle of Prison Order: Why Life Behind Bars Varies Around the World (Oxford UP, 2020), David Skarbek develops a theory of why prisons and prison life vary so much. He finds that how they're governed-sometimes by the state, and sometimes by the prisoners-matters the most. He investigates life in a wide array of prisons-in Brazil, Bolivia, Norway, a prisoner of war camp, England and Wales, women's prisons in California, and a gay and transgender housing unit in the Los Angeles County Jail-to understand the hierarchy of life on the inside. Drawing on economics and a vast empirical literature on legal systems, Skarbek offers a framework to not only understand why life on the inside varies in such fascinating and novel ways, but also how social order evolves and takes root behind bars.

En raison de leurs exploits, le nom de certains espions est passé à la postérité. C'est le cas de Krystyna Skarbek, agent d'origine polonaise qui, durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, mit ses talents au service de la Grande-Bretagne. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The hosts talk with David Skarbek, Associate Professor of Political Science at Brown University, about his new book The Puzzle of Prison Order: Why Life Behind Bars Varies Around the World.  Skarbek investigates life in a wide array of prisons—in Brazil, Bolivia, Norway, a prisoner of war camp, England and Wales, women’s prisons in California, and a gay and transgender housing unit in the Los Angeles County Jail—to understand the hierarchy of life on the inside. Drawing on economics and a vast empirical literature on legal systems, Skarbek offers a framework to understand why life on the inside varies in such fascinating and novel ways, and also how social order evolves and takes root behind bars.Towards the end of the conversation, they discuss the way different social science disciplines tend to rely on specific methods, and the subsequent challenges of trying to cross methods in academia. 

Niezwykłe czyny Krystyny Skarbek spowodowały, że Polka już za życia stała się legendą. Przez wielu jest dziś uznawana za najlepszą i najodważniejszą agentkę drugiej wojny światowej. Fascynowała cały ówczesny świat służb specjalnych. Oficerowie wstawali, gdy wchodziła do pokoju, a Winston Churchill nazwał ją swoim ulubionym szpiegiem. Dla pisarza Ian Fleminga, autora cyklu o Jamesie Bondzie, stała się pierwowzorem dziewczyny agenta 007. Ale tak naprawdę – to Krystyna Skarbek była Bondem...

Będziemy mówić dzisiaj o najsławniejszej polskiej agentce Krystynie Skarbek. Była ona bardzo piękna. Przed wojną startowała w konkursie miss Polonia. Była też bardzo wysportowana. Jeździła konno, wspinała się na wysokie góry oraz jeździła na nartach. Tak więc była zarówno piękna jak i bardzo wysportowana. W 1931 roku wygrała konkurs miss nart w Zakopanem.Przed wojną jako agentka pracowała dla polskiego wywiadu. Przewoziła tajne dokumenty do Anglii. Później pojechała do Kenii, gdzie jej mąż był ambasadorem. W 1939 roku wybuchła wojna i Niemcy napadli na Polskę. Polski i angielski wywiad już wcześniej współpracowały. Krystyna zgłosiła się więc do angielskiego wywiadu prowadzonego przez premiera Wielkiej Brytanii czyli Winstona Churchilla. Jak się nazywał ten angielski wywiad?Pracowała dla Special Operations Executive, w skrócie SOE. Na polski można to przetłumaczyć jako: Zarząd (lub Kierownictwo) Operacji Specjalnych. Od razu wysłano ją na Węgry. Co tam robiła?Na Węgrzech było dużo internowanych polskich żołnierzy. Internowany to inaczej mówiąc uwięziony. Krystyna Skarbek pomagała im w ucieczkach oraz załatwiała im fałszywe dokumenty. Czy była jakoś specjalnie ubrana? Jak się ubiera szpieg? Krystyna Skarbek na Węgrzech udawała, że jest dziennikarką i ubierała się tak jak dziennikarka. Dzięki temu mogła jeździć po całych Węgrzech i rozmawiać z ludźmi udając, że pyta ich o rzeczy potrzebne jej do artykułu w gazecie.Jak pamiętacie Krystyna Skarbek umiała też świetnie jeździć na nartach. Przed wojną wygrała tam konkurs na najpiękniejszą narciarkę w Zakopanem. To miasto, Zakopane, leży w pobliżu Tatr. Znajomość tego regionu i umiejętność jeżdżenia na nartach bardzo jej się przydały. Krystyna trzykrotnie przekradała się do Polski szlakiem tatrzańskim. Tatry to najwyższe góry w Polsce. Znajdują się na granicy polsko-słowackiej i właśnie tamtędy jako kurierka tatrzańska przechodziła aby kontaktować się z polskim ruchem oporu. Przeniosła im radiostację. Warto przypomnieć, że w tamtych czasach radiostacje były duże i bardzo ciężkie.Później Krysytna Skarbek przeszła szkolenie dla szpiegów. Czego się uczyła? Jak już mówiliśmy już wcześniej potrafiła jeździć konno, wspinać się i jeździć na nartach. Później dostała inne zadania.Krystyna Skarbek dalej przebywała na Węgrzech i starała się zdobyć plany. Jakie plany chciała zdobyć? Krystyna zdobyła np. informacje o tym, że Hitler chce uderzyć na Rosję w 1941 roku. Zdobyła informacje o planie Barbarossa. Tak właśnie Hitler nazwał plan ataku na Rosję. Krystyna zdobyła ten plan Barbarossa. Ale jak miała go przekazać do Anglii?Jej praca była bardzo niebezpieczna. Co by się stało, gdyby ją złapano? Jak już mówiliśmy pracowała dla wywiadu, czyli pracowała jako szpieg w wielu krajach. W jakich? Np. w 1944 roku pomagała partyzantom we Francji. Uratowała z więzienia dwóch Francuzów oraz jednego Anglika.W tym samym roku, w 1944 roku wybuchło powstanie warszawskie. Polscy żołnierze, którzy walczyli na zachodzie chcieli dostać się do Polski, aby pomóc.Krystyna chciała się dostać do Polski, już nawet przygotowywano dla nich transport, ale ostatecznie nie polecieli. Czemu dowództwo SOE nie wysłało polskich agentów aby pomagali w powstaniu warszawskim?W kolejnym roku, w 1945 wojna się skończyła. Co robiła Krystyna Skarbek po wojnie? Po wojnie poznała angielskiego szpiega. Nazywał się Ian Fleming. Postanowił napisać książkę o angielskim szpiegu. Nazwał go James Bond. W pierwszej książce zatytułowanej “Casino Royale” James Bond współpracuje z agentką Vesper Lynd. Fleming stworzył tą postać na wzór Krystyny Skarbek.Podsumowując. Krystyna Skarbek była polską agentką, a później brytyjską. Czego można się od niej nauczyć?Chociaż II wojna światowa zakończyła się ponad 75 lat temu dalej wiele informacji jest utajnionych. Np. brytyjski wywiad nie pozwala nikomu zajrzeć do informacji o agentach takich jak Krystyna Skarbek. Anglicy obiecywali, że pozwolą poznać te akta 50 lat po wojnie, ale wciąż przedłużają ten okres. Może jak minie 100 lat od wojny pozwolą poznać te dokumenty i będziemy wiedzieć jeszcze więcej o operacjach w jakich brała udział Krystyna Skarbek.Bardzo dziękuję Kasi, jej bratu Jankowi oraz oczywiście tacie za te nagrania.

Acclaimed Author and Brown University Professor, David Skarbek joins the BWP to discuss his latest work, The Puzzle of Prison Order. 

Kolejny odcinek z cyklu "Archiwum Radia Książki". Jest marzec 1941 roku. Decydują się losy II wojny światowej. Nie w Berlinie, nie na Kremlu czy przy Downing Street 10. O tym, jak zakończy się największy w dziejach ludzkości konflikt zbrojny, zdecyduje zaledwie kilkanaście osób. A jedną z osób, które mają odegrać najważniejszą rolę w całej operacji wywiadowczej, będzie Christine Granville. Czyli Polka pochodzenia żydowskiego - Krystyna Skarbek. - Skarbek fascynowała mnie od zawsze. Narosło wokół niej mnóstwo krzywdzących historii i pomówień. A przecież była szpieżycą z prawdziwego zdarzenia, całkowicie oddaną sprawie, o którą walczyła - mówi Vincent V. Severski, były oficer, pułkownik polskiego wywiadu, autor książek szpiegowskich.

Krystyna Skarbek was travelling outside of Poland when the country fell to the Nazis. In order to fight back after the occupation she threw her lot in with British intelligence offering her unique courage and skills to courier early reports back of the Nazi plan - Operation Barbarossa. Skarbek would go on to serve in three theatres of war and became one of the highest trained and most effective of British spies. Clare Mulley, the author of A Spy Who Loved, tells us a short part of Skarbek's remarkable story.

The Guest David Skarbek is Associate Professor of Political Science at Brown University. His research examines how extralegal governance institutions form, operate, and evolve. He has published extensively on the informal institutions that govern life in prisons in California and around the globe. His work has appeared in leading journals in political science, economics, and criminology, including in the American Political Science Review, Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, Journal of Law, Economics & Organization, and Journal of Criminal Justice.  His book, The Social Order of the Underworld: How Prison Gangs Govern the American Penal System (Oxford University Press), received the American Political Science Association's 2016 William H. Riker Award for the best book in political economy in the previous three years. It was also awarded the 2014 Best Publication Award from the International Association for the Study of Organized Crime and was shortlisted for the British Sociological Association's 2014 Ethnography Award. His work has been featured widely in national and international media outlets, such as the Atlantic, BBC, Business Insider, the Economist, Forbes, the Independent, and the Times. Skip Ahead 00:38: David, you're well known for writing a book on prison gangs in California and America called The Social Order of the Underworld. Just to begin, tell us a little bit about that book. 2:01: You mentioned that prison gangs are often organized on racial lines. Why is that the case? 4:10: So race is a convenient way of organizing a large group of people. Is that what you're arguing? 4:34: Does that mean this has changed over time? So as a prison population got bigger in America, gangs organized upon racial lines have become more important? 7:44: You mentioned that the convict code, if you like, was informal. Would you see gangs as providing more formal governance? 9:15: Would it be fair or is it a stretch to suggest that this is like a prison constitution? 10:53: One thing when you read the book that's quite striking is there are lots of vivid descriptions of violence that occurs in prison. How do you reconcile that evidence with what you describe as some sort of order? 13:55: I imagine that the question that comes to many people's minds when it comes to prison gangs, is what would happen if they went to prison? Would they have to join a prison gang, and if the didn't, what would be the consequences? 15:26: So it'd be fair to say you cannot be a solitary individual, you cannot be a holdout, so to speak. 16:15: Could we then imagine that prisons are close to what we might think of the state of nature in social science? 17:05: This brings us to your latest work in this area, which I think is going to be called the Puzzle of Prison Order. How does it extend your previous work? 20:03: Maybe you can say a little more about English prisons. One senses that they don't have that kind of gang organization that we observe in California. Why should that be the case? 23:39: One challenge this book takes on is trying to unpack all these different factors, all these different possibilities. So I guess one common sense question would be, looking at California, America, the UK, there is a presence of gangs on the streets. One might assume intuitively that the gangs on the streets are more well organized in California compared to England and Wales. Is that the case, and how does that play into what happens in prisons? 26:08: Another dimension which I think would be of interest is the difference between men's and women's prisons. What have you been observing? 29:44: Let me ask a more mischievous question: You've looked at prisons around the world and spent many years reading research on this. Is there a country or prison system that is completely opposite to what your theory would predict? For instance, where there is a small prison population but there are lots of gangs? 31:42: So it's a story ultimately about governance, and much less about the size of prisons. 32:10: One thing that's striking is, prisons have people with very few resources, they may be predisposed to violence… should this lead us to be hopeful about people's capacity for self-governance? 35:06: So it's undoubtedly impressive that prisoners are able to self-organize or self-govern in this way. Thinking of the comparative political economy of this, though, wouldn't it be better if there was formal governance? Is that safer and less violent? 37:00: Essentially you're engaging in qualitative research. Maybe the first question here is about the challenges of obtaining that kind of data from prisons around the world and how you go about overcoming that challenge. 40:27: What's your sense of the challenges of comparing different ethnographic studies? 44:26: So you were trained as an economist originally. How do economists view this sort of methodological approach, and would they be concerned about your ability to give causal answers? 46:04:  As a political scientist, you see political science going in the direction of causal identification and experimental results. Should we be concerned about that and is it limiting the types of questions we can ask? 48:18: I assume you're not going to be working on prisons forever. What other ideas do you have going forward?

Dr David Skarbek is a Senior Lecturer in Political Economy and Undergraduate Exam Board Chair in the Department of Political Economy at Kings College, London. David’s research interest is to understand how people define and enforce property rights in the absence of strong, effective governments. His work has examined incarceration, gangs, and crime in the United States. David received a BS in Economics from San Jose State University and a MA and PhD in Economics from George Mason University. He previously taught in the political science department at Duke University. David’s teaching include 'Research Methods for Politics’, 'Economics of Crime’ and 'Political Economy of Organized Crime’ David's new book is The Social Order of the Underworld: How Prison Gangs Govern the American Penal System (Oxford University Press). It examines how inmates create self-governance institutions to promote economic and social interactions behind bars. In this episode you will learn: what makes states stable. how prisoners trade in a black market economy. why gang-based governance in prisons looks very different today than 100 years ago. why big prison systems have serious prison gang problems compared to small prison systems. how women prisons are better controlled as they are governed in a decentralised way. about the control that prisoners in adult correctional facilities have control over minors in juvenile correctional facilities. whether private prisons result in a larger prison population. diminishing returns to prison years. and much more.

David Skarbek of King's College London and author of The Social Order of the Underworld: How Prison Gangs Govern The American Penal System talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the written and unwritten rules in America's prisons for the most violent and dangerous criminals. Skarbek explains how and why prison gangs emerged in the last half of the 20th century, their influence both inside and outside of prisons, and how their governance structure is maintained.

In the third episode of Sodajerker On Songwriting, Simon and Brian talk to Grammy nominated and two-time Ivor Novello winning songwriter Sacha Skarbek (James Blunt, Adele, Duffy, Jason Mraz) about his work as co-writer of a range of recent pop hits including James Blunt's worldwide no. 1 'You're Beautiful'.

In this Kosmos Online podcast, I'm joined by Dr. David Skarbek, a Searle visiting assistant professor in political science at Duke University. Dr. Skarbek has done extensive research in prison gangs, and joins us to talk about how prison gangs provide "governance in the absence of government", how prison gangs incorporate written constitutions, and what his research means for the ideas of liberty.
