Państwo i samorząd terytorialny z perspektywy... procesów decentralizacji i recentralistycznych tendencji
The state and local government from the perspective of decentralization processes and recentralist tendencies

Summary/Abstract: System transformation processes in Poland have accelerated the modernization and evolutionof the public administration model. As a result of the intensification of decentralizationprocesses, the state lost its hegemonic position. In the public sector, a significant part ofthe powers were taken over by local government units, and institutions of the second andthird sector have become an important partner in the implementation of tasks and theprovision of public services. The activity of local governments to date, which is positivelyassessed by the public opinion, proves the great development potential of local and regionalauthorities. However, the experience of recent years shows that this potential has not alwaysbeen properly assessed and utilized. Underestimation of the role of local governments isdemonstrated by the actions of the rulers, and the failure to recognize the challenges ahead ofhim political programs of the opposition.
