Dominik Tylka, PhD

Political scientist | Power, agency and obedience

Assistant Professor at the Institute of Political Science and Public Administration, Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw. My research focuses on social and political power, individual agency, and the conditions under which asymmetries of resources become effective and relatively durable capacities to secure compliance. I am particularly interested in obedience, adaptation, circumvention and resistance, and in the interaction between individual actors and social or political structures.
