The article takes stock of the existing theoretical literature on external Europeani ation. It adopts a comparative perspective between candidate and neighbourhood countries, while at the same time contrasting the patterns of external and internal Europeanization. The focus is on basic mechanisms of external Europeanization a conditionality and socialization and their principal determinants in light of, respectively, rational choice and sociological institutionalism. Moreover, the article reflects on effects of external Europeanization, including paradoxes or pathologies of Europeanization in terms of transformation or consolidation of the hybrid semi-authoritarian political regimes. Finally, it points out to the limited explanatory value of the conditionzality mechanism, the potential of the sociali ation approach within the transnational network analysis, as well as to the key role of local elitesé impact on the effectiveness of EU rule transfer.

A distinctive trend developed in 19th and 20th century Europe, which saw the universalisation of principles of state political systems. This tendency expressed itself in proclaiming in the constitutions of individual states and in the practical application by European democracies of the political principles inspired by the ideas of the Enlightenment. Over a period of over two centuries, the constitutions of many countries developed with a similar catalogue of principles of government, in a similar legal form. These principles express the same ideas and political values and aim at developing an identical model of government structure based on liberal-democratic ideals. It is characteristic that during the last decade of the 20th century there was a sudden increase in this tendency and the spreading of those principles to over twenty countries.

One of the characteristic features of modern world are migrations of people. They are caused either by social or economic and political reasons of respective states and regions of the world. Population processes constitute, at present, a global problem. In the consequence of population’s number fast increase and the irregular economic development of the world, they still remain as an actual research question. An universal regularity of present migratory processes is a decrease of birth rate along with improving the life conditions. The highest birth rate can be observed in the poorest countries. Depopulation tendencies occur, in turn, in economically developed countries. Apart from economic factors, the differences in population increase, are also influenced by social and cultural conditions of a certain region, and the evolution of political system and programs of ruling elite. Greatly diverse is also, so called, the “quality” of contemporary migration. It is presented alike by poor, uneducated people and highly educated specialists from different fields of social and economic life.

Elections to the European Parliament (EP), because of its role in establishing the legal order in member states of the European Union (EU), should become increasingly crucial among all the direct elections in which Poles participate in our country’s political system. But the results of analyses carried out by various research institutions indicate that, in Polish public opinion, the elections to the EP are the least important in terms of the meaning they have for Poles. Since the start of their organization, these elections have consistently come second (in terms of significance) to domestic elections – Presidential, Parliamentary, and local.Yet these elections, for many reasons, were actually the most important of all European elections so far. The following paper is an attempt at answering the question of how important the issues of Polish membership in the EU, EU`s functioning and policy, economic and some selected socio-cultural (especially moral and religious) problems. To answer that question, an analysis was made of the program documents of all parties participating in the 2014 elections to the EP, as well as of party leaders’ statements, mostly posted on the Internet (i.e. on the political groups’ websites). The analysis was conducted taking into consideration three areas:Political: – expansion of the Eurozone into Poland, the possibility of blocking treaties by particular member countries, a common EU foreign policy, the idea of „European solidarity”, the assessment of the integration process, and potential sanctions to be placed by the EU on Russia;Economic: – commercialization and privatization of the health care system, the problem of government interference in the economy, environmental protection at the cost of economic development, decreasing expenses as a means of fighting the economic crisis, and employee redundancies;Moral – Religious: – the possibility of legalizing unions by homosexual couples, the legalization of abortion and marijuana for personal use, the possibility of trading on Sundays and holidays, the introduction of sexual education into schools, the separation of church and state by removing religious symbols from the public sphere, as well as the impossibility of financing churches through public funds.

Social sciences such as psychology, sociology, and political science are in strict relation to philosophy. There is a diversity of ontologies and epistemologies in social sciences. The article first analyses philosophical approaches in psychology, sociology, and political science. Approaches discuss in psychology are: behaviorism, psychoanalysis, humanistic psychology. Approaches discuss in sociology are: functional theory, evolutionary theory, conflict theory, exchange theory, interactionist and phenomenological theory, structuralist theory, critical theory. Approaches discuss in political science are: behaviouralism, rational choice, institutionalism, feminism, interpretative theory, Marxism, normative theory. Then the article discusses personalistic approach in political science that is typical for scientists from the Institute of Political Science and Public Administration of Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University. This approach focuses on anthropology of human dignity. Next the article analyses a Thomistic approach which is new in political science. This approach can be developed in two directions: from political science to Thomism or from Thomism to political science. The former way corrects analysis in personalistic political science using Thomistic approach. The latter starts from Thomism and consistently builds political science with Thomistic approach. In conclusions the article is in favor of a dialog between consistent Thomism philosophers and personalist political scientists.
