Skuteczność legislacyjna gabinetów mniejszościowych (wybrane aspekty)
Effectiveness of minority government legislation (selected aspects)

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary states are facing major dilemmas of governance. One of them is the effectiveness of governance, which can be judged by the effectiveness of the legislation. Today, governments are making efforts to develop major policy guidelines and ensuring their implementation using all available instruments. The main aim of this article is to analyze certain aspects of the government’s involvement in the legislative process and the effectiveness of minority government legislation. The author analyzes the impact of governmental regime on the position of the cabinet in Poland, explains the mechanisms of normative and political influence on the formation of the law and hypothesizes that the functioning of government without a clear majority in parliament makes it difficult, or even impossible to adopt laws bearing great social and political impact on the state. It is noticed that the governmental political base is really crucial when we think about the effectiveness of legislation at all. The assumptions are indirectly confirmed by data on the effectiveness of the legislation of governments in selected years.
