The LEADER approach was introduced in Poland as part of the LEADER+ Pilot Programme (implemented in the programming period 2004-2006) and, at present, it is being implemented as Axis 4 of the Rural Development Programme. Many researchers are interested in its progress. In their analyses, they use various concepts of social capital. It may be concluded on the basis of the studies published so far that local action groups are dominated by the public sector, whereas the economic sector is rather marginalised. Having taken into account the available publications, a team of sociologists from the University of Łodź conducted in 2011-2013 research devoted to the level and structure of social capital of local action groups. The study focused on organisations from 6 voivodeships which implemented scheme 2 of the LEADER+ Pilot Programme. The article presents the analyses of the most important problems of these organisations related to the condition of the components of social capital possessed by their members (partners). The researchers used the material from individual surveys completed by 573 respondents from 34 local action groups. It was proven that the surveyed organisations mainly cope with the problem of a low activity level of their members (partners), petrification of their boards and councils, marginalisation of representatives of the economic sector, high level of professionalization and low level of generalised trust among the persons who belong to these groups.

The paper is focused on the principles of partnership and participation in rural areas in contemporary Poland. The studied case involves local action groups (LAGs) estab-lished in the Subcarpathian Voivodeship in the period 2007–2013. Based on national and European legal frameworks that regulate the establishment and functioning of the LAGs, these organizations are required to implement the principles of partnership and participation as far as their structures and functions are concerned. The principle of partnership is premised, inter alia, on a specific obligation to include representatives of three sectors – public, economic and social – in the LAGs’ membership. The principle of participation means, among others, that the LAGs are expected to engage in the active recruitment of new members. In the paper the implementation of both of the principles is evaluated by analyzing the LAGs’ membership structures and their criteria of access to membership.

W artykule została przedstawiona specyfika partnerstw międzysektorowych w formule lokalnych grup działania tworzonych w Polsce w ramach podejścia LEADER od 2004 r. Początkowo mało rozpoznawalne i słabo zakorzenione w polskich realiach, z czasem stały się nie tylko instrumentem rozwoju obszarów wiejskich, ale też mechanizmem wspierania rozwoju terytorialnego w ogóle. W tekście autorka analizuje potencjał partnerstw jako narzędzia aktywizacji społeczności lokalnej i partycypacji publicznej. Ramy teoretyczne analizy wyznacza koncepcja participatory governance, której jednym z kluczowych elementów są partnerstwa. Bazując na wynikach własnych badań empirycznych oraz literaturze przedmiotu, autorka weryfikuje następującą tezę: partnerstwa międzysektorowe w formule LGD nie do końca są narzędziem partycypacji publicznej rozumianej jako angażowanie się członków społeczności lokalnych w sprawy publiczne. Ich zadaniowy charakter, zinstytucjonalizowanie, uzależnienie – pomimo formalnych zabezpieczeń – od władz samorządowych oraz zewnętrznych środków finansowych powodują, że partnerstwa – choć teoretycznie przygotowane do odgrywania aktywnej roli w rozwoju lokalnym – faktycznie postrzegane są przede wszystkim jako podmiot dystrybuujący środki finansowe.

The article presents the specificity of cross-sectoral partnerships in the formula of local action groups created in Poland under the LEADER approach since 2004. Initially, poorly recognized and barely embedded in Polish realities, over the years, the partnership in the LAG formula became an instrument not only for the development of rural areas, but a mechanism for supporting territorial development in general. In the paper, the author analyzes the potential of such partnerships as a tool for activating the local community and increasing the level of public participation. The theoretical framework of the analysis is determined by the concept of participatory governance (with partnerships as a one of the key elements). Based on the results of empirical research and subject literature, the author attempts to verify the following thesis: cross-sectoral partnerships in the LAG formula are not completely a tool of public participation, understood as the involvement of members of local communities in public affairs. Their task-oriented character, institutionalization, dependence from self-government authorities and from external financing, cause that partnerships - although theoretically prepared to play an active role in local development – are actually perceived as an entity distributing financial resources.
