ABSTRACT
The paper is aimed at outlining the concept of local social citizenship within
the theory of social policy. The paradox of social citizenship concept is that it may
serve to both identify and disguise inequalities in access to welfare state benefi ts and
services. Thus, those aspects of local social citizenship construct thanks to which it
may serve the former objective are discussed in the paper. In the fi rst section of the
paper, the importance of entitlements in the concept of local social citizenship is
considered, proving that viewing them from formal and legal angles exclusively is
too restrictive in regard to social policy. The second section contains considerations
on differences between understanding them in the liberal manner and the one proposed within local social citizenship. In the last section, hypotheses concerning the
more signifi cant transformations of local social citizenship in Poland are outlined. It
is argued that entitlements at the local level are becoming stronger related to certain
obligations of the citizens.
