The aim of the article is to analyze the European programs of the main political parties in the Weimar Triangle countries. The analysis will focus on the political vision and possible institutional changes. In addition, the position on euro area reforms and (in Polish case) prospects for membership of the EMU will be examined. Another issue is the response to the migration crisis, and views on the future of the internal market, deepening cooperation in defense policy and a vision of the future of EU foreign policy. Finally, brexit issues will be examined. The article will compare the European doctrine of particular countries, then the views of the government (and its party base) and the opposition parties.

As determined by analysis, a committee sitting convened under Article 152. para. 2 at the request of a defined group of Deputies should concern matters falling within the scope of activities of a Sejm committee. In contrast, a supervisory measure established in Article 167 consists in inspecting and examining by committees of the activities of the entities specifically mentioned in that provision (enterprises, firms or government institutions; basic criterion for the designation of controlled entities is a form of property – the property of the Treasury). Moreover, there are no legal obstacles for the committee (or the committee’s presidium) convened in accordance with Article 152 para. 2 to decide on the visit of the committee members, to inspect the entity meeting the requirements specified in Article 167. The author stresses, however, that such a visit, or examination of activities, should take into account the aim expressed in Article 167, which is the assessment of the mode of action of specific entities managing the property belonging to the State Treasury.

Foreign capital inflow is viewed as a driving force of economic growth and development. To a large extent, the effects it may potentially produce dependon the l ocation choice or, in other words, on the economic advancement of the region in question, available skills on the labour market, and the quality of infrastructure. Capital flows usually lead to the intensification of foreign trade, however, the ultimate potential outcomes of social and economic transformation within a given territory depend on the structureof tr ade flows. In relation to the above, this paper is motivated by the wish to grasp the pattern of foreign investment location choices (paying special attention to investors from other EU Member States) and their basic effects on the internationalisation of regions in the light of public interventions admissible in Poland. To this end, a statistical analysis of the following data will be carried out into: a) the evolution in the location pattern observed for companies with foreign capital based in Polish voivodeships (NUTS-2) in the period 2004–2017 and b) their foreign trade performance. Statistical analyses have led to the conclusion that foreign capital not only targeted better-developed regions of the country (even though their State aid offer is more limited) as the location for its investment but also companies established in these locations as a result of such investments are more strongly engaged in international trade (and are affiliates within the organisational structure of a single business entity) than foreign companies which chose to locate their businesses in poorer regions of the country.

Brexit has betrayed the disadvantages of the European project along with the fact that European institutions have no desire to conduct deeper reforms. Brexit cannot be considered without the stance that the British have developed not only in the last few years but generally over the period of its integration with continental Europe. A study shows the political consequences of the UK’s exit from the European Union alog with the potential scenarios of Poland’s European policy in the next 2–3 years. This article presents three scenarios for the development of Poland's European policy, i.e. the British scenario, a conservative scenario and a pro-European scenario. In addition, this article aims to show the potential activities of the Polish government in the context of selected scenarios for the development of the situation in Europe. Currently, the most likely is the British scenario, where the Polish government concentrates on those areas of integration that are important to it. The European Union will be treated by Poland as an economic organization providing access to the common European market as well as political support in the event of disputes with the powers. The adoption of the British scenario by Poland assumes an evolutionary drift towards polexit. The least realistic choice of scenario is the strongly pro-European approach. This would require a total change in Poland's European policy strategy and the abandoning of internal reforms.

The 2014 Regional Conference of the International Geographical Union is a good occasion for reflections on changes that took place in Polish industrial geography at the turn of the 21st century.This article discusses several issues which – in the author’s opinion – best reflect those changes: (a) problems with defining the substantive scope of the discipline; (b) new methodological trends (e.g. evolutionary, relational, institutional approaches); (c) a new look at the factors of location of an economic activity; and (d) the place of industry in present-day spatial processes (globalisation, transformation, tertiarisation of the economy). The second part of the article offers (1) an analysis of the involvement of Polish industrial geography in systemic transition; (2) a survey of its contemporary most important research problems, and (3) anassessment of the current state of Polish industrial geography, including its strengths and weaknesses.It should be emphasised that this paper does not seek to give a full survey of the latest publications in Polish industrial geography; it is only intended to outline an evolution of research issues against trends in world geography.

This paper aims to explain that the stable situation of Belarus is important for Western Europe and why any fluctuations may present a challenge for European integrity and stability. Belarus, since the beginning of its independence in 1991 seems to show a great willingness to cooperate closely with Russia, claiming Western Europe and NATO as a potential enemy. In reality, the Belarusian position is much more complicated and ambiguous. Despite it’s close military cooperation with Russia, different tensions between Minsk and Moscow regularly happen and Belarusian authorities are still looking for new foreign partners and new energy suppliers (what was clearly visible in the last months of 2016 and the first period of 2017). Russia, old Belarusian partner, may actually even pose a threat for Belarus, so the country’s authorities have a hard challenge to maintain its stability. Western countries may be open for a new chapter of cooperation with Minsk but any rapid changes in Belarusian foreign preferences may result in unpredictable results and Moscow reaction that – in turn – would be very challenging for the whole European stability and security.

Throughout its history, Ukraine has been both a country of origin andtrans it or destination for migrants. Ukraine has always been actively involved in the migration processes of Europe and the world. Poland has always attracted Ukrainians because of its territorial proximity, minor language barrier and higher salaries. After 2014, Poland became the most popular destination among Ukrainian workers. The significant increase in the number of migrants from Ukraine is due not only to economic reasons but also to the military conflict in Eastern Ukraine which had an impact on the geography of migration flows, gender composition etc. At the same time, Poland experienced a shortage of workers amid successful economic development and record low unemployment. The situation connected with the spread of the virus, the pandemic, and the closure of borders have significantly affected the economic situation in the world, migration flows, migration policy etc. However, it is difficult to predict migration flows after the end of quarantine, but it is clear that the EU member states will primarily need seasonal workers from Eastern European countries (including Ukraine). As Poland will also need additional labour forces, it can be argued that it will consolidate its position as the leading destination for Ukrainian labour migrants.

The aim of the paper is to present the European gigabit society which is perceived by European Union’s leaders as a model of the future European society and economy. It is based on new digital technologies of the XXI century and on new, very high capacity mobile telecommunications networks. The rapid growth of information being processed and transmitted through electronic communications networks needs new high-speed and highly reliable broadband networks essential to economic growth, competitiveness and innovation as well as better quality products, services and the citizen’s satisfaction. The 5G communications network is the solution which is perceived as a type of network which should resolve these problems. In the paper the concept of the European gigabit society is clarifi ed, the 5G technology and its level of development in the European Union and in its Member States are described including Poland vis-à-vis the rest of the world. The European gigabit society is already under development and the 5G communication network is crucial to its success. It should be widely available in Europe including Poland. The paper is based on the analysis of official documents of the European Union and its Member States including Poland, official reports of the most active electronic telecommunications companies providing and implementing 5G technologies and on talks with representatives of some of the ones which are active on the Polish market.

The migration crisis of 2015 has left its mark on many EU countries. Some, such as Greece or Spain, were countries on the front line. Others, namely Germany, Great Britain, and Sweden became destination countries for many newcomers. Some, like the countries of the Visegrad Group, opposed the actions and decisions of the EU made in the face of the crisis. European solidarity has become a big question mark and we can observe a serious upsetting of the whole integration project which is, of course, up for discussion. This state of affairs consisted of the attitudes towards the crises of such countries as Poland or Hungary, here anti-immigration and populist parties came to power, creating a vision of flexible solidarity on the European political scene. The purpose of this article is to analyse the Polish migration policy, show the direction of the changes in its construction along with the change of government and the societal reaction to strangers, as a direct result of actions taken by the ruling parties. It is important to understand the political, economic and social context of the changes occurring in the social consciousness and to attempt to formulate a forecast for the future.

The paper is based on the author’s monograph (Śleszyński, 2008). It presents the analysis of enterprise headquarters’ locations in eight largest Polish cities (Warsaw, Szczecin, The Tricity [Gdańsk–Gdynia–Sopot], Poznań, Łódź, Wrocław, Katowice and Krakow). The study primarily involved data from the Hoppenstedt Bonnier database for the year 2004, concerning 3810 entities whose overall revenue exceeded the minimum of 15.6 million PLN. The businesses were analysed in terms of their location with respect to the city centre, as well as the differentiation of revenues, line of business and ownership structure. The analyses helped in the formulation of the basic regularities of the location distribution. For instance, it was found that spatial concentration is most significant in the case of the largest enterprises, the public sector and more advanced businesses, particularly high-order services.The location of large company headquarters, as well as their mutual connections, performs one of the key roles (or even the most important one) in the development of Central Business Districts in Polish cities during transformation.

Celem artykułu jest próba czasowej i przestrzennej analizy rynku nowych samochodów osobowych w Polsce (zakupionych przez indywidualnych użytkowników), wykorzystującej różnorodny aparat metodologiczny. Analiza ta obejmuje trzy główne grupy problemów: -ogólną charakterystykę rynku samochodów osobowych w Polsce w wymiarze czasowym i przestrzennym, –identyfikację czynników wpływających na sprzedaż nowych samochodów osobowych klientom indywidualnym oraz ich przestrzenne zróżnicowanie, –wyróżnienie różnych typów zmienności popytu na nowe samochody osobowe w wymiarze przestrzennym i prognozowanie przyszłego popytu. Na podstawie przeglądu literatury zidentyfikowano czynniki, które mogą wpływać na wielkość popytu na samochody, a następnie określono ich rolę za pomocą modeli ekonometrycznych. Regresja wielokrotna wykazała, że na wielkość efektywnego popytu na nowe samochody w Polsce w latach 2008–2015 największy wpływ miały: poziom dochodów konsumentów, uwarunkowania demograficzne, poziom rozwoju lokalnego oraz poziom nasycenia rynku. Dalsze analizy dokonane za pomocą lokalnych modeli geograficznie ważonej regresji ujawniły ogólne trendy przestrzenne oddziaływania zidentyfikowanych czynników. W ostatnim etapie badań za pomocą analizy harmonicznej dokonano próby typologii powiatów z punktu widzenia zmienności popytu na nowe samochody osobowe oraz estymacji przyszłego popytu.

The purpose of the article is to offer a spatial and temporal analysis of the market for new cars in Poland using different methodological approaches and tools. It covers: – general characteristics of the car market in Poland in its spatial and temporal dimensions; – identification of the socio-economic conditions that affect the demand of individual consumers for new cars and their spatial differences; and – distinguishing different types of the car demand variability in its spatial and temporal dimensions, as well as forecasting the future demand. Based on a literature review, the potential socio-economic conditions that might affect the car demand have been identified, and subsequently their role in the Polish circumstances has been defined with the use of econometric modelling. The model of multiple regression showed that the demand for new cars was stimulated by incomes of potential consumers and by a net in-migration, and depressed by the level of unemployment together with prices of complementary goods (especially petrol prices). Further analysis with geographically weighted regression (GWR) models revealed general spatial trends in the way that the identified conditions affected the demand for cars. Finally, the use of harmonic analysis allowed for the forecasting of the future car demand at the level of individual territorial units (poviats). The latter were categorised into four types according to their car demand variability.
