Granice rozwoju systemu politycznego UE po traktacie z Lizbony: pytanie o złożoność i odporność europejskiego systemu instytucjonalnego
Limits of the Development of the EU Political System after the Lisbon Treaty: the Question of the Complexity and Resilience of the European Institutional System

Summary/Abstract: The political system of the European Union is an example of governance realised in a highly diversified cultural, social and political environment. Its development is non-linear and determining its boundaries turns out to be very difficult or even impossible. The Treaty of Lisbon did not clearly define the further direction of the EU’s development, and even contributed to the deepening of systemic complexities. This phenomenon is particularly visible in the area of institutional solutions that accumulate all tensions and crises that appear in the integration process. The amalgamation of crisis phenomena after 2009 contributed to an exceptional increase in inconsistencies in the integration system. At the same time, we observe specific properties accompanying the shaping of institutional mechanisms, which in response to repeated difficulties have developed flexible and resilient behaviors. The effect is transformations of the institutional system, which create heterogeneous solutions with both integrating and disintegrating tendencies.
