Let  be a Banach algebra and let ** be the second dual algebra of  endowed with the first or the second Arens product. We investigate relations between amenability of ** and Arens regularity of  and the rôle topological centres in amenability of **. We also find conditions under which weak amenability of ** implies weak amenability of .
