Presidency of the Council of Europe is an institution of the European law which has been exercised since 1958 and evolves together with changes of the treaty and the dynamism of development of the European Communities and the EU. It binds the European communities to their foundation, i.e. national states, and by giving prominence to the subjectivity of the state it facilitates references to the idea of the reason of state. In Poland, this idea manifested its validity in the last decades which are identified with the democratic breakthrough and transformation of the state system of government. The civic theme voiced in public rhetoric showed the reason of state in a new light, revealing its affinity to national interest. The civic foundation of statehood is expected to contribute bold and convincing ideas to the European debate on the future. This will help to outline a new interpretation of the notion of the reason of state, compatible with the model of a state that realizes its sovereignty within the framework of an institution of transnational cooperation.
