Abstract: The ratio of political parties for the modernization of the state as a criterion for differentiating political actors The article proposes a new classification of political parties in Poland, based on the survey of political parties against the paradigms of modernization of the state. To verify the hypothesis according to which this issue can effectively prioritize political parties, a catalogue of issues dividing supporters of different patterns of development was prepared. In the next step the catalogue was tested against two biggest political parties competing in the campaign for the European Parliament in 2014. The results of the study of their election programs seem to confirm the usefulness of a new way of organizing the parties in Poland (and perhaps in other countries of Central and Eastern Europe). Keywords: Poland, classification of political parties, paradigms of modernization
Europa Środkowa stanowi zarówno ideę wspólnoty kulturowej, przestrzeń geopolityczną i geokulturową, jak i pewną koncepcję polityczną. W ostatnich kilku dekadach jesteśmy świadkami przejścia (czy raczej interferencji) od idei literacko-kawiarnianej ku politycznym formom instytucjonalizacji Europy Środkowej. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest ukazanie owej drogi oraz kluczowych dylematów stojących przed architektami politycznej Europy Środkowej. W artykule omówiono zatem dyskurs środkowoeuropejski w latach 70. i 80. XX w., a następnie poszczególne uwarunkowania i etapy politycznej instytucjonalizacji Europy Środkowej z naciskiem na okres po 2004 r.

Central Europe is both an idea of a cultural community, a geopolitical and geocultural space, as well as a concrete political concept. In the last decades, we are the witnesses of transition (or rather an interference) from the literary-cafeteria idea towards the political forms of institutionalization of Central Europe. The aim of this article is to show this way and key dilemmas facing the political architects of Central Europe. The article discusses the Central European discourse in the 70s and 80s of the 20th century, and then the various conditions and stages of the political institutionalization of Central Europe with an emphasis on the period after 2004.
