Consequences of the link between national legal systems and the EU system, inter alia changes of parliament’s competences, expanded scope of parliamentary control, increase in executive’s importance within the EU area, decentralization within the scope of conducting foreign policy reveals the potential direction of constitutional amendments. The phenomenon of Europeanization, which may be defined as a process of intertwining of EU regulations and national constitutional regulations having source in constitutional norms authorizing the transfer of certain competences of public authorities to the EU and the constitutional obligation to observe international law in such a way that the EU regulations (within the scope of transferred competences) determine the amendments to the national constitutional norms” concerns also the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. These considerations aim to identify the most common and modern tendencies in this regard including the shape of national constitutional regulations. Proposed amendments to the Constitution of Poland regarding membership in the EU are evaluated with regards to the actual needs of Polish legal system. In conclusion I admitted that they are strongly justified but not indispensable. Their “programme” function is prevailing over others and at the same time determines the whole legal system that adopts EU models almost automatically.

The process of Europeanization has been traditionally associated with an economic and political transformation, often undermining the value‑based residual effects such as the state’s or group’s acquiescence to take on a European identity. This dual nature of Europeanization is particularly important in the Balkans, where a highly established sense of self is deeply embedded in the fiber of its people. The goal of a unified Europe, and the Balkan ability or even willingness to become “European” is central to this paper’s analytical approach. A key facet of Europeanization is to create, promote and, more importantly, sustain a sense of a pan‑European identity. However, within multi‑ ethnic and conflicting environments the idea of a national identity is often irresolute, as in the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo. The paper tries to conceptualize the notion of Europeanization from a firmly identity‑based framework, discrediting the essentialist approach to identity formation in favor of a more constructivist model. It argues that the notion of a European identity is in fact a shared social value, rather than a tangible idea easily applicable to every situation, and with the Balkans being a particularly difficult case study. In essence, the underlying question is what does the process of Europeanization really mean and how viable is it in the context of a complex environment such as the Balkans?

This paper discusses a conceptual relationship between Europeanization and communication‑development. It analyses the theories and methods of diffusion of knowledge and information in Europeanizing and developing societies. More precisely, it focuses on the exact elements of communication‑development which coincide with Europeanization, and to what extent they could be extrapolated to the studies on internalization of the EU‑driven social change. In this regard, the article aims to identify the focal points for possible application of such a perspective and sanction further analyses of communication as a consolidating factor in the process of Europeanization.

Europeanization is not a new term, but only throughout the recent two decades it has turned into a notion very frequently used in social science. It seems there are two reasons for its success: (1) the intensification of European integration in the late 1980's and (2) the development of the conceptual studies on Europeanization. Numerous theoretical approaches elaborated under the term have stimulated its popularity, yet they have also raised a critical question on the empirical usefulness of the broadly and vaguely defined concept. In the article the concept of Europeanization is taken under scrutiny. Recently developed multiple attitudes to Europeanization are critically discussed and presented with reference to the broader body of the literature on European integration. The considerations end with a short revision of possible empirical usages of the popular term in Polish context. This aim has been triggered by a shortage of references to the widely discussed concept in Polish literature. Polish debate on repercussions of the membership in the European Union may be significantly enriched by a thoughtful reference to the popular, even though controversial concept. Being aware of its shortcomings we can make a better use of its advantages.

The main objective of this article is to present the role of public administration and the factors that shape in the face of challenges posed by the process of Europeanization. The specific goal, however, is the analysis of factors conditioning the fulfilment of the function of public administration in the process of Europeanization in Poland and Germany. The research problem of this article is the analysis of differences in the functioning of public administration in both countries. This sector plays a key role in the effective participation of a country in the processes of Europeanization, as well as determines its internal efficiency. The article uses research methods specific for social sciences, in particular political sciences. The first of the methods used is comparative studies, which show similarities and differences in the functioning of public administration of both countries in the processes of Europeanization. Using the medium-range system method, attempts were made to define the place of public administration as an element of the functional subsystem of the European policy of a country, and also showed the evolution of changes taking place in this sector. In turn, neo-institutionalism of rational choice and historical neo-institutionalism made it possible to indicate the factors determining the administrative efficiency of the state in the process of Europeanization. In the study quantitative techniques were mainly used, i.e. the analysis of statistical data from institutions such as the European Commission – E-government Benchmark, Bertelsmann Foundation - Sustainable Governance Indicators, World Bank - Worldwide Governance Indicators, Gallup World Poll. A critical analysis of the literature was also carried out regarding the evolution and role of public administration in the process of Europeanization. The main research hypothesis is contained in the statement that the efficiency of public administration as an instrument of European state policy is conditioned by institutional and social factors, which require a longer time perspective and properly used legal and institutional instruments for the emergence of positive effects.

The participation of Poland in the Union’s military missions was dictated by a conviction about the need of a common, solidary cooperation in solving problems on a local, as well as international level, especially in the situation, when local issues could transform into a problem of a wider, so regional or global nature. Ensuring a state’s safety and strengthening of the position of Poland on the international arena, as constant purposes of our national policy, required joining in any international initiatives that were supposed to serve as a realization of strategic national aims. Due to the fact that different processes and phenomena happening in surroundings, regions and in the world influenced by the Polish safety, Poland had to actively participate in these actions. The active membership of Poland in foreign missions had been creating conditions that favor economical development and a progress of civilization. The participation in missions lead under the aegis of the European Union was also a realization of allied commitments and they were the one to constitute the credibility of Poland. The participation of Poland in the Common Security and Defence Policy can be divided into two periods. The first once embraces a time, when Poland was not a member of the European Union and, to be honest, its participation in a decisive process under the CSDP had more of a personal nature of engagement into lead missions. Therefore, Poland activated its military forces in military operations, as well as civilian ones, of which there were more. A second period is the time after 2004, when Poland had become a member of the European Union. In this case, we had a formal right to participate or make decisions ands not to participate in certain initiatives of the European Union. In operations that had national forces involved, it is possible to notice happening there processes of the Europeanization. Generally, they were based on taking over soft regulation aspects elaborated on a Union’s level and implementing them in actions of Polish organizations. Even though under the CSDP decisions were made and are made in an intergovernmental way, in situations when Poland participated in operations lead by the European Union, it has always adjusted to the dictate of Brussels. It resulted from an operational, organizational and logistic subordination of the Polish Military Contingent. To sum up, it can be assumed that even in a policy considered as a field with many flaws, there still are ongoing processes of Europeanization based on taking over elements of soft laws and in some cases – hard regulations as well. In this context, Polish armed forces received some “best practices”, learnt to act in completely different conditions and fields that made their adjustments and taking over good practices have some kind of a socialization nature.

The purpose of this article is synthetic analysis of the theories concerning the Security and Defence Policy of the European Union. Author analyses neorealist and neofunctionalist theories and marginally takes into account theory of liberal intergovernmentalism and new institutionalism theory. Neorealists argued that in order to understand CSDP, one should look at the changing nature of the balance of power and the way in which member states sought profits coming from the negotiation process, which took place between European Union and NATO. Liberal intergovernmetalists, including Andrew Moravcsik, assumed that CSDP is a factor created and driven by the domestic policy of member states, although both NATO and EU institutions influenced this process. Neofunctionalists’ hypothesis assumed that CSDP is a result of the spill-over effect – consequence of the economic integration. They demonstrated, through economic analysis, the impact of economic and monetary union on the process of development of the European security and defence policy. In neoinstitutionalist theory, the emergence of the CSDP is explained by highlighting the impact of international institutions in the foreign policy of the EU and NATO member states. Above hypotheses have the objective of finding the causes of the CSDP’s emergence, but are also an attempt to answer the question what is the CSDP. Exitisting theories do not adress the whole issue comprehensively, because they are missing implication of links between supranational, transnational and intergovernmental dimension of CSDP, indicating only the conceptualization of evolution and the role of the various bodies at different levels, particularly in the theories of neoliberalism, neoinstitutionalism and intergovernmental liberalism.

The aim of the article is to make a synthetic presentation of the first five years of Polish membership in the European Union. The author is aware of the fact that drawing up such a balance is not an easy task. It will take a long time before a full and in-depth analysis of the results of our accession to the European Union and its objective assessment is possible. Despite that, it can be stated even today that in general there is an active balance for Poland and the Polish society. Having carried out a comparative analysis of the phenomena and processes resulting from the Polish accession to the EU, the author shows that its effects are generally positive in all spheres of life. Due to that, Poland is included in the group of the biggest and most influential countries of the European Union and the world. The author argues that from the perspective of the last five years it is clear that the Polish accession to the EU was one of the most important events in the Polish history, especially in the history of the twentieth century. The accession accelerated political transformation in Poland and transformed the political, social and economic identity of Poland as well as its geostrategic position.

Artykuł poświęcony jest dwóm zagadnieniom tożsamości i wspólnej pamięci zbiorowej w procesie europeizacji. Problematyka ta od lat jest przedmiotem ożywionej dyskusji naukowców i polityków, bowiem koniecznością udanego projektu integracyjnego stało się skonstruowanie europejskiej tożsamości i wspólnej pamięci zbiorowej niezbędnej dla legitymizacji tego zamierzenia. W artykule przedstawiono rozważania dotyczące definicji i zakresu pojęć tj.: europeizacja, tożsamość europejska i wspólna pamięć zbiorowa, jak i skoncentrowano się na poszukaniu odpowiedzi dotyczącej możliwości wypracowania tożsamości europejskiej i wspólnej pamięci zbiorowej obywateli Unii Europejskiej. W konkluzji autorka stwierdziła, iż pomimo szeregu starań ze strony Unii Europejskiej nie udało się wypracować wspólnej europejskiej tożsamości, aczkolwiek pewne jej rodzaje zaczęły wyrażać się za pośrednictwem instytucji UE i prawa wspólnotowego. Również wykształcenie wspólnej pamięć zbiorowej jest zadaniem trudnym, gdyż pamięć zbiorowa jest pamięcią podzieloną, jest splotem różnych perspektyw i różnych wersji. Nadzieją dla Starego Kontynentu zatem jest pamięć podzielana lub dialogiczna – uzgodniona przekraczająca horyzont narodu. Tożsamość europejska i wspólna pamięć zbiorowa, wciąż są w fazie kształtowania się. Budowanie ich to złożony proces, który konstruowany jest od podstaw. Jest on celowy i zaplanowany oraz skoncentrowany na utrzymaniu pokoju i tworzeniu dobrobytu poprzez wzmacnianie gospodarki.

The paper discusses the issues of identity and collective memory in the process of Europeanization. These issues have long been the subject of lively debates among scholars and politicians because for the integration process to succeed it is necessary to construct a European identity and collective memory which are indispensable in order to legitimize this process. The paper presents considerations pertaining to the definition and scope of such notions as Europeanization, European identity and collective memory and seeks to answer the question whether it is conceivable to develop a European identity and collective memory of EU citizens. The author concludes by saying that despite the European Union’s long-lasting efforts, it has failed to form a collective European identity even though certain types of this identity have found expression through EU institutions and community laws. Collective memory formation is a difficult task since collective memory is divided as it is a confluence of different perspectives and versions. A shared or dialogical memory is what the Old Continent may hope to develop: an agreed memory which transcends respective national horizons. Both European identity and collective memory are still being forged. Their formation is a complex process that has to be designed from scratch. It is a deliberate and planned process focused on maintaining peace and generating prosperity by enhancing economy.

Values are present not only in law and politics, but also in respective branches of scholarship. Interestingly, already in antiquity even parts of world were con- sidered as value-laden. Already by then, prevailed the bad opinion about the East, represented by Byzantium. As from the ruins of the Western Roman Empire the Europe of Charlemagne emerged, beyond its eastern border a “new” Europe appeared which inherited all the negative features of the East, first of all the economic, moral and legal backwardness. It is the West of Europe, where west- ern civilization and western legal tradition come from. They were assimilated by Poland through its Christianization in the 10 thcentury and through German colonization in the 12–13 thcentury. Poland became in this way a kind of “East of the West”, but the German “bearer of culture” was considered in Eastern Europe directly an advocate of the Occident. Only in two isolated cases Poland overtook Western Europe: the dispute of Paulus Vladimiri against the Teutonic Knights at the council of Constance (1414–1418) and the promulgation of the May constitu- tion in 1791. However, in most cases also within the borders of Europe the West revealed itself unable to learn from the rest.

The author considers the issue of whether the postulate of creating a new code of civil procedure is still valid. He comes to the conclusion that the following arguments support the new codification: the poor state of the current Code of Civil Procedure and the need to take into account the challenges facing civil procedural law like constitutionalization, Europeanization and digitalization of this law, as well as the creation of new solutions to protect collective interests. However, he indicates, as obstacles to the preparation of the new code, the collapse of the culture of creating law in Poland, problems resulting from changes in the justice system and threats resulting from legal populism.

Poland’s Eastern policy is the result of the lack of a coherent concept, a return to the tradition of martyrdom and heroism, an ideologization in the form of missionarism and Prometheanism, and a confrontational attitudes towards Russia. The lack of a critical reflection over the chances for the normalization of relations with the largest country in the East is largely a result of ignoring our own national interest. The Polish political elites uncritically acquiesce to U.S. visions related to the encirclement and fragmentation of Russia. In this way, Poland becomes, at its own request, a hostage to foreign geostrategic concepts. Obstacles on the way to the normalization of Polish-Russian relations are subjective and objective. They find expression in each other’s attitudes, emotions and psychology, as well as the asymmetry of power and interests advanced by each party. Opportunities for the normalization of Polish-Russian relations should be sought in taking advantage of the mechanisms and experiences of Europeanization, i.e. Poland’s participation in the team play within the European Union. The condition for success is cooperative thinking, based on an accommodative strategy, and not a confrontational one, allowing for a re-evaluation of the negative ideological past to reach positive and pragmatic cooperation.

Any short review of the penetration of European music into Japan and its enthusiastic appropriation calls for a different approach to the controversial question of acculturation. The rapid growth in the pianos popularity in Japan, together with the implicit musical revolution, could also occasion a parallel with the similar process of acculturation which occurred in Eastern Europe (for instance the Romanian Principalities). Musical Westernization (including the institutional and educational reform) might, in contradicting the traditional local musical concepts, mirror a different perspective on intercultural communication and contemporary cultural education.

The foreign policy choices of Armenia, Georgia and Moldova have been largely shaped by the power balance between the European Union and Russia. The EU’s normativity in regional integration was opposed by Russia’s hard power approach. Although the potential benefits of the integration drove Armenia, Georgia and Moldova to sign a framework agreement with the EU, the latter’s inability to pro-vide security guarantees has reduced the EU’s attractiveness leaving the future of the Eastern Partnership uncertain.

Europeizacja oddziaływała na wszystkich etapach rozwoju społecznego na Słowacji – z różnym natężeniem i w różnych formach – od momentu podpisania przez Słowację umowy stowarzyszeniowej z Unią Europejską. Znaczący wpływ dało się zauważyć już na etapie tranzycji, kiedy to konsekwentna implementacja wymaganych przez KE/UE kryteriów kopenhaskich pomogła Słowacji wrócić na ścieżkę demokratycznego rozwoju. Nie chodziło li tylko o wprowadzanie w życie powszechnie akceptowanych zasad demokracji parlamentarnej, ale także o aktywne oddziaływanie instytucji KE/UE w ramach możliwości stworzonych przez podpisanie umowy stowarzyszeniowej. Spełnienie kryteriów kopenhaskich i rozpoczęcie negocjacji otworzyło zupełnie nowy etap, polegający na wcielaniu acquis communautaire (porządku prawnego Unii Europejskiej) do wewnętrznego porządku prawnego kraju. W tej fazie zdecydowanie dominował model europeizacji przebiegającej unilateralnie, w płaszczyźnie „góra–dół”, a więc przyjęcie standardów i praw Unii Europejskiej, uczynienie kraju kompatybilnym z innymi państwami członkowskimi Unii. Po wejściu Słowacji do UE rozpoczyna się dwuwektorowy proces europeizacji, przebiegający zarówno w kierunku „góra–dół”, jak i „dół–góra”.

Europeanization acted at all stages of society development in Slovakia, with varying degrees of intensity and in various forms, since the signing of the association agreement with the European Union. A significant impact was already in the stage of transition, when the consistent implementation of the Copenhagen criteria insist by the EC/EU help to return to the path of democratic development in Slovakia. However, it wasn’t just about the application of the generally accepted principles of parliamentary democracy, but also on the active impact of the EC/EU institutions within the existing opportunities provided by the signing of the Association Agreement. A qualitatively new stage began after completion of the Copenhagen criteria and the opening of negotiations, which was to implement acquis communautaire into the internal legal order of the country. At this stage, clearly dominated the process of Europeanization “top-down”, i.e. the adoption of standards, laws of the European Union, to make country compatible with other countries of the EU. After the entry of the Slovakia into the EU, a two-sided process of Europeanization: “up-down” and “bottom-up” has started.

The present paper diff erentiates between two related but not identical processes: on the one hand, the approximation of Bulgarian media law with Community law, and on the other the real transformations in the media sector caused by the process of the EU integration of Bulgaria. The Com- munity law implementation is a prerequisite for the legislative reform in countries in accession but it is only one of the elements of EU conditionality. The critical analysis of the effectiveness of EU condi- tionality in respect of Bulgarian media policy and law has been carried out.
