The purpose of this paper was to specify what is the share of narrowly understood micro-ideology in the political thought of Law and Justice. Embarking on the analysis of the above-stated problem, we first and foremost fixed particular methodological assumption. As a point of departure for our analysis we adopted the conception of the ideological morphology by Michael Freeden. In line with it, we assumed that ideologies are not fully distinct entities but they interact with one another. They are also partly overlapping and thus they share some contiguous points. In accordance with the concept of populism, as worked out within our framework, we focused our attention on the problematics of elites and the people. As conceived of by Law and Justice, elites did not discharge their duties, alienating themselves from the society and caring mainly about their own socio-economic interest. Furthermore, the critique of elites was mainly related to their non-democratic genesis and artificially created putative “super-expertise”.Eventually, we proved that populism may be regarded as one of the phenomena characterizing the political thought of Law and Justice.

Internal security is one of the key aspects of state functioning. In the current legal system Police is one of the most important institutions responsible for producing security within the state. The definition of security constantly evolves, as well as social structures and threats. Therefore, the rulers should react accordingly to these changes and introduce necessary changes and reforms of institutions that produce security within the society. The article presents an analysis of the ideas of modification aimed at improving Police’s effectiveness proposed in various political programmes of Prawo i Sprawiedliwość. To systematize them, they are described in respective areas of organizational, staffand legal changes.

The article refers to the position of the Law and Justice party as regards the Polish fundamental law, in force since 1997. Diagnosing the constitution, Law and Justice politicians pointed to its fl aws and provisions resulting in the systemic weakness of the state. The diagnosis comprised four problematic areas: circumstances (origin) of the passing of the Constitution of 1997, criticism of axiological foundations and systemic regulations, as well as legal systemic effects of constitutional provisions. Questioning a relevant part of Poland’s systemic achievements after 1989, Law and Justice saw the need for fundamental changes in almost all spheres of political and social life. The party’s answer to the multi-sphere state crisis was the project of the Fourth Republic of Poland, signifying a radical reconstruction of the state. The basis for the proposed changes was to be the new constitution. Law and Justice’s idea of “the good constitution” expressed the will to found a strong, independent state, which would “play the role of a depositary of values and historic heritage”. The party’s views on the Constitution of the Third Republic of Poland were in line with the broader project of building a strong state. There dominated the view that “democratic” or “liberal” values cannot serve to specify the ideological foundations of social and political order. The priority was to clearly define the anticommunist identity and to found modernization of the state on tradition.

The analysis of the results of the elections to regional parliaments of 2018 allows to take a closer look at the current political preferences of the electorate one year before the parliamentary elections. The distribution of support for political parties in individual provinces shows that Law and Justice (PiS) enjoys constant, high and stable support, which will most likely allow this party to extend mandate to rule the country for the next 4 years. The largest opposition party, the Civic Platform (PO), sees the chances of victory in uniting further opposition groups around itself. The common start with Nowoczesna under the name of the Citizens’ Coalition (KO) did not meet the expectations. However, the distribution of support in the local government elections showed that the actions consolidating the opposition are currently the only chance to fight a leveled electoral fight with Law and Justice (PiS).

The author analyses the dynamics of the Polish party system in the light of the outcomes of the parliamentary elections in the Third Republic of Poland (since 1989). He exposes especially the last element of that evolution – the 2015 parliamentary election. It resulted in the victory of Law and Justice (PiS) party. For the first time in the history of democratic Poland, the victor was able to create a government without having to negotiate with coalition partners. The success of PiS seems to be a result of the combination of several factors. It would be mistaken to portray an emerging situation as a simple rightist win. PiS to some extent represents a social attitude, typical for the socialist (social-democratic) parties, with some part of the program including a populist message, but with the combination of a conservative approach to several issues and nationalistic stand on a perception of patriotic mood. The important meaning has a support of PiS by the Catholic Church, especially at the grass-roots level. The victory of PiS and forming of the majority government have an important meaning for the functioning of the political parties’ system in Poland. For the first time since 1989, there were not balancing of power situation which the coalition governments have brought about. The political parties, creating the opposition in parliament, must offer a new strategy of behaviour in such circumstances, especially dealing with challenging the PiS policy to compromise a democratic system based on the 1997 Constitution, e.g. division of power, position of the Constitutional Tribunal and functioning of the judiciary.

In Central and Eastern Europe populist regimes are attracting attention as are sult of the traumatic legacy of communism, the subsequent overburdening reforms and exhausting systemic transformation, resurgence of ever-lurking nationalism, regional conservatism, parochialism and cultural chauvinism, and/or as an example of the structural shortcomings of young democracies at the borders of civilization. The subject literature also indicates numerous and universal elements of populist governments, present as well in this part of Europe. Without prejudging the aptness and strength of these various concepts and arguments, this article is an attempt to include in these wideranging themes a particular issue that absorbs conservative populists, namely “childhood” and “children”. While the problem of children in politics has already received numerous interpretations, the importance of childhood in the right-wing populist discourse and politics has so far remained an issue discussed only occasionally. We put forward the thesis that children play an important and specific role in the right-wing populist superstructure - they constitute an illusory picture of the nation, an allegory of its renewal, as well as a convenient, though inconsistently used, instrument for achieving political, ideological and propaganda goals. Attitudes towards children can be an important characteristic of populism as such, and should be taken into account in research on the subject. We will illustrate these problems using the example of Poland and the populist Law and Justice (PiS) Party that is in power there now.

The article presents the political situation in Poland after the 2005 Polish parliamen-tary elections and describes key points of the political program of Law and Justice, which was titled “Czwarta Rzeczpospolita”. The elections in 2005 were won by Law and Justice, a conservative party, who were led by Jarosław Kaczyński. Civic Platform occupied second place. Both parties wanted to cooperate in creating a majority coalition in the lower House of Parliament but the victory of Law and Justice and the troubled negotiations along with the triumph of Lech Kaczyński in the presidential election brought an end to the collaboration between these parties. The victorious party had to look for a partners to govern among the remaining parties. Eventually, the chiefs of Law and Justice decided to sign a stabilization pact with League of Polish Families and Self Defense Party. The agreement, signed in February 2006, did not bring about an end to the crisis of politics in Poland, therefore political leaders decided to announce an early election in 2007.

The aim of the article is to define the meaning of subjective deprivation within the political communication of Law and Justice. The analysis is a case study and concerns the Polish Deal reform program. The article is based on a qualitative approach in research on populism (the subject of the analysis are the statements of PiS leaders). The research problem concerns the question: is there any content that qualifies for the space defined by the category of subjective deprivation in the arguments for the Polish Order? The study shows that the arguments for the Polish Order referred to subjective deprivation in terms of both the improvement of the standard of living in the economic dimension as well as the position in society. PiS leaders announced actions to eliminate the differences between the standard of living in large cities and suburbs, and between Polish and Western society. The category that constituted an important element of the argument was the middle class, the extension and support of which was announced

Celem artykułu jest określenie znaczenia subiektywnej deprywacji w ramach politycznej komunikacji Prawa i Sprawiedliwości. Analiza stanowi studium przypadku i dotyczy programu reform Polski Ład. Artykuł oparty jest na jakościowym podejściu w ramach badań nad populizmem (przedmiot analizy stanowią wypowiedzi liderów PiS). Problem badawczy dotyczy pytania: czy w ramach argumentacji na rzecz Polskiego Ładu obecne są treści, które kwalifikują się do przestrzeni wyznaczone j przez kategorię subiektywnej deprywacji? Z badania wynika, że argumentacja za Polskim Ładem odnosiła się do subiektywnej deprywacji w wymiarze zarówno poprawy poziomu życia w zakresie ekonomicznym, jak również pozycji w społeczeństwie. Liderzy PiS zapowiadali działania na rzecz niwelowania różnic pomiędzy poziomem życia w dużych miastach i peryferiach oraz pomiędzy społeczeństwem polskim a zachodnimi. Kategorią, która stanowiła istotny element argumentacji, była klasa średnia, której poszerzenie i wsparcie zapowiadano.

The purpose of this article is to evaluate Poland’s European policy during the first term of the Law and Justice party government (2015–2019) in terms of participation in the general debate on the future of the EU. The theoretical background is the liberal intergovernmentalism, and the main thought is the statement that in the analyzed years Poland pursued a policy that did not take into account the basic assumptions of liberal intergovernmentalism treated normatively. The Polish authorities did not present concepts consistent with the internal Polish “community of views”, and when selecting partners and negotiating methods, they pursued an ideological policy, focusing on one partner with little potential. Despite these shortcomings, it was possible to maintain the shape of the institutions and procedures dominating in the EU favorable from the point of view of Poland’s pragmatically understood interests. Poland’s non-confrontational attitude to day-to-day politics also played a positive role here.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest dokonanie oceny polityki europejskiej Polski w okresie pierwszej kadencji rządów partii Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (2015–2019) w zakresie udziału w generalnej debacie o przyszłości UE. Tłem teoretycznym jest liberalna międzyrządowość, a główną myślą stwierdzenie, że Polska prowadziła w badanych latach politykę nieuwzględniającą zasadniczych założeń liberalnej międzyrządowości traktowanej normatywnie. Władze Polski nie prezentowały koncepcji zgodnych z wewnątrzpolską „wspólnotą poglądów”, a przy doborze partnerów oraz metod negocjacyjnych prowadziły politykę nacechowaną ideologicznie, orientując się na jednego partnera o niewielkim potencjale. Pomimo tych niedociągnięć udało się jednak utrzymać korzystny z punktu widzenia pragmatycznie rozumianych interesów Polski kształt instytucji i procedur dominujących w UE. Dużą rolę pozytywną odegrało tu niekonfrontacyjne podejście Polski do tzw. polityki codziennej.

W obecnej dyskusji o organizacyjnej i prawnej formie oraz o celach sformowania Obrony Terytorialnej powinno się sięgnąć nie tylko po historyczne doświadczenia w dziedzinie wojny nieregularnej polskiej sztuki wojennej, ale przede wszystkim do doświadczeń związanych z pracą i koncepcjami utworzenia Obrony Terytorialnej z lat 1997-2001 w czasach rządów koalicyjnych Akcji Wyborczej Solidarności i Unii Wolności pod przywództwem premiera Jerzego Buzka, bowiem rząd Beaty Szydło w zasadzie kontynuuje linię polityczną Akcji Wyborczej Solidarność.

Celem artykułu jest analiza kryzysu konstytucyjnego, który miał miejsce w Polsce po wyborach parlamentarnych w 2015 r., w perspektywie sieciowej. Przeprowadzone badania koncentrują się na ukazaniu braku przejrzystości działań rządu Prawa i Sprawiedliwości podczas wskazanego kryzysu. Dzięki użyciu analizy sieci (SNA) jako głównej metody badawczej, w artykule analizie poddane zostały nieformalne relacje pomiędzy głównymi aktorami politycznymi, które w znaczący sposób wpłynęły na działania rządu w tym okresie. W tym celu podjęta została próba rekonstrukcji najważniejszych wydarzeń na polskiej scenie politycznej, odnoszących się do tematu badań, w badanym okresie czasu.

The aim of the paper is to analyze the constitutional crisis, which occurred in Poland at the end of 2015, shortly after the parliamentary election. Our research is focused on showing the low transparency of the Polish government during this political turmoil. We argue that there are many indirect connections and feedbacks between the main political actors which have an effect in the non-transparent structure of a government, which changes during political turmoil and more stable period of time. In this context the network analysis was used as a main research method to emphasize some of the personal connections between the main politicians.

Negative television political advertising has become an instrument commonly found in election campaigns in most democratic countries around the world. This article is intended to show the functioning of this element of political marketing, focusing in par-ticular on its presence on Polish soil. This article indicates the genesis of negative televi-sion political advertising, its nature, significance, and provides an analysis that included sample ads by the campaign staffs of Law and Justice, Civic Platform and Democratic Left Alliance, which were broadcast during the election campaign before the election to the European Parliament in 2009.

The research objective of this paper is to analyse the trends in contemporary nationalist and conservative political thought from the system and problem-based perspectives through the lens of Poland's international status in the 21st century. The subject of the analysis is the political thought of two parties −  the League of Polish Families (representing the nationalist trend) and Law and Justice (the conservative trend) in two dimensions. First − in the ideological dimension, covering political views with the greatest degree of generalisation. Second − in the programme dimension, understood as a set of specific political proposals, creating concepts and defining the conditions for their fulfilment in the future. The research objective is to be reached by providing answers to the following research questions. How did LPR and PiS define and describe international order? What values were assigned key roles in shaping Poland's international position? What international roles were assigned to Poland?

Celem poznawczym artykułu jest analiza dwóch nurtów współczesnej polskiej myśli politycznej (narodowego i konserwatywnego) w perspektywie systemowej i problemowej przez pryzmat pożądanej pozycji międzynarodowej Polski w XXI w. Analizie poddano myśl polityczną partii politycznych − Ligi Polskich Rodzin (nurt narodowy) oraz Prawa i Sprawiedliwości (nurt konserwatywny) w dwóch jej wymiarach. Po pierwsze −  w wymiarze ideologicznym, obejmującym poglądy polityczne o największym stopniu uogólnienia. Po drugie −  w wymiarze programowym, który należy rozumieć jako zestaw konkretnych propozycji politycznych, koncepcji pożądanego ładu międzynarodowego i miejsca w nim Polski. Realizacji celu badawczego służyły odpowiedzi na postawione pytania badawcze: W jaki sposób LPR i PiS definiowały i opisywały ład międzynarodowy? Na jakich podstawach aksjologicznych chciano opierać proces kształtowania pozycji międzynarodowej Polski? Jakie role międzynarodowe przypisywali Polsce politycy obu badanych partii?

Artykuł podejmuje zagadnienie bezpieczeństwa kulturowego w koncepcjach programowych Prawa i Sprawiedliwości w XXI wieku. W ramach tekstu dokonana została analiza problematyki tożsamości narodowej i kultury narodowej jako dwóch składowych bezpieczeństwa kulturowego państwa. Programy polityczne Prawa i Sprawiedliwości w głównej mierze określały zagrożenia dla tożsamości narodowej w kontekście integracji europejskiej oraz dążenia do unifikacji kultury europejskiej. Z kolei w obszarze kultury narodowej dostrzegano zjawisko lekceważenia tego zagadnienia i nieuznawania go jako istotnego z perspektywy bezpieczeństwa państwa.

The present paper raises the issue of cultural security in the programme-related ideas conceived by Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (hereinafter referred to as the Law and Justice or – to use an abbreviated term – PiS) in 21st century. In the present paper, the issues related to national identity and national culture were scrutinized, the former and the latter being two constituents of cultural security of the state. Political programmes of the Law and Justice specified mainly the dangers to national identity in the context of European integration and of striving for the unification of European culture. On the other hand, in the realm of national culture, what was noticed was the phenomenon of neglecting the said issue and not considering it important from the point of view of security of the state.

The aim of this article is to present the election campaign in the by-election to the Senate in the Subcarpathian voivodeship called by the President of the Republic of Po-land Bronisław Komorowski for 8th September, 2013. The main reason for calling the by-election was the fact that the mandate of Władysław Ortyl, elected as the Marshal of the Subcarpathian voivodeship, terminated. Ultimately, seven candidates supported by their own parties or electoral committees endeavoured to win the support of the local electorate and entered the campaign. A visit paid by top representatives of Law and Justice, Civic Platform, Polish People’s Party and United Poland to the region of the Subcarpathian voivodeship was an essential element of the election campaign. The representatives finally did battle for Subcarpathia. The by-election to the Senate in Subcarpathia in 2013 showed that in electoral competi-tion the political parties performed a decisive role, not their candidates, as evidenced by the election result achieved by the Law and Justice candidate in relation to his political opponents.

The article focuses on research on national populism situated on the border of a specific political style and populist discourse. The research category constituting the theoretical basis for the analysis of the discussed issue is identity (national) populism. The article itself is a case study and focuses on the political communication of Law and Justice in 2017–2021.The research problem expresses the question: what kinds of elements of identity populism does the discourse of Law and Justice contain? The result of the analysis are findings that confirm that PiS used the political style of national populism, which was expressed by emphasizing the threats to national identity. The source of these threats was the cosmopolitan elite and the actions of the European Union, as well as social changes determined by globalization, integration and political transformation. Based on the analyses, it can also be concluded that a marginal problem within PiS’s populist communication was the issue of migration.

Artykuł koncentruje się na badaniach nad populizmem narodowym sytuującym się na pograniczu określonego stylu politycznego i dyskursu populistycznego. Kategorią badawczą stanowiącą teoretyczną podstawę analizy omawianego zagadnienia jest populizm tożsamościowy (narodowy). Sam artykuł ma charakter studium przypadku i koncentruje się na komunikacji politycznej Prawa i Sprawiedliwości w latach 2017–2021. Problem badawczy wyraża pytanie: jakie elementy populizmu tożsamościowego zawiera dyskurs Prawa i Sprawiedliwości? Wynikiem analizy są ustalenia potwierdzające, że PiS posługiwał się stylem politycznym narodowego populizmu, który wyrażał się poprzez podkreślanie zagrożeń dla tożsamości narodowej. Źródłem tych zagrożeń były kosmopolityczne elity i działania Unii Europejskiej, a także zmiany społeczne zdeterminowane globalizacją, integracją i transformacją ustrojową. Na podstawie analiz można także stwierdzić, że marginalnym problemem w populistycznej komunikacji PiS była problematyka migracji.

The aim of the analysis is, on the one hand, to reconstruct the difussed features, assumptions and thoughts concerning both the present state of the European Union and its future shape and place of Poland in this organization, characterizing the discourse conducted by PIS, and on the other hand, an attempt to support these features and assumptions with specific terms, designates and markers that are not only a component of this discourse, but also create a certain more or less logical set of statements defining the European Union and the process of European integration, which were used by prominent representatives of this political party. The leading theoretical paradigm of explanation is poststructuralism, which in such a research problem gives the possibility of using the method of discourse analysis, which is an operationalized system of marking political practice and the real political environment, because articulation constitutes the subject of research, and not only signifies and explains it.

Celem podjętej analizy jest z jednej strony rekonstrukcja rozproszonych cech, założeń i myśli dotyczących zarówno obecnego stanu Unii Europejskiej, jak i jej przyszłego kształtu oraz miejsca Polski w tej organizacji, charakteryzujących dyskurs prowadzony przez PIS, a z drugiej strony próba wsparcia tych cech i założeń konkretnymi określeniami, desygnatami i znacznikami, które nie tylko są składową tego dyskursu, ale także tworzą pewien mniej lub bardziej logiczny zbiór twierdzeń definiujących i określających Unię Europejską oraz proces integracji europejskiej, które były używane przez prominentnych przedstawicieli tej partii politycznej. Wiodącym teoretycznym systemem wyjaśniania jest poststrukturalizm, który w tak postawionym problemie badawczym daje możliwość zastosowania metody analizy dyskursu (discourse analysis) będącej zoperacjonalizowanym systemem oznaczania praktyki politycznej i realnego otoczenia politycznego, gdyż artykulacja konstytuuje przedmiot badań, a nie tylko go oznacza i wyjaśnia.
