The article presents a discussion on the Japanese economic model and chances to use it as an example for the countries of the South Eastern Asia. The social and economic system of Japan constituted, throughout the second part of the 20th century, an economic model of high efficiency and economic perfection. Therefore, after World War II the Japanese economic model became a point of reference for many developing countries in the South East Asia. However, stagnation in the Japanese economy provoked doubts concerning rightness of the strategy. In spite of that, the Japanese economic model can still serve as a pattern of development for the countries in South East Asia. With the reference to the social and economic policy; Japan has developed a system of national health insurance and has considerably shortened working hours. Expenses on environmental protection and on improvement in living conditions in large cities have been radically increased. Consequently, despite a decrease in the dynamics of economic growth and income the standard of living in Japan has definitely improved.

Doubtless is the fact that Poland, in comparison with other not only western countries, still remains delayed in terms of the development. This results mainly from the Polish structural problems whose origins can be found in the country’s history. The restructurization processes of industry and agriculture together with a slow privatization of these branches of economy, despite visible positive results, brought about threats of unemployment, a low investment ability, little competitiveness of enterprises or ineffectiveness of the institutional system. What is more, the above-mentioned dangers and those which have not been cited occur to different degrees in different regions. Therefore, a low socio-economic cohesion is itself an obstacle to the enlargement of the cohesion at the European level. Despite the progressing outer convergence, it can be stated that, with the exception of a few big cities and few areas attractive in terms of tourism and agriculture, all Polish voivodships are threatened by the peripheralization in the integrating Europe. Such processes are especially visible in the eastern areas of Poland. A typical way of thinking where the EU is supposed to eliminate the risk of marginalization of the Polish regions implies another danger. It consists in being dependent on the outer help, no matter what the ability to implement the received financial support is. Thus, the actions on different levels must be taken not only to decrease the above-mentioned dangers of marginalization but also to facilitate better conditions for a further development of the regions. Therefore, it must be remembered that every enlargement of the European structures has had a bigger or smaller influence on the inner cohesion of the EU. The countries which are socio-economically less developed have been accepted as members of the integration process. On 1 May 2004, ten new countries became members of the EU, including Poland. As this was the biggest enlargement in the history of the EU, it has influenced both the institution and the economy of this organization, but first and foremost, the inner coherence of the EU.

The paper aims at pointing out the similarity of ordoliberal concept of social market economy and sustainable development concept. The article consists of the concept of sustainable development characteristics, EU initiatives in the name of sustainable development and the relationship between ordoliberal concept of social market economy and sustainable development concept. The sustainable development concept ushered in by decisions of the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janerio became indeed a real social process. Sustainable development is a deep-seated value of the European Union and encompasses issues of great importance to citizens, whether it be maintaining and increasing long-term prosperity, addressing climate change or working towards a safe, healthy and socially inclusive society. The idea of sustainable developmentis about including natural environmental in social and economic development of a region, a country or as a global perspective, a whole world. The idea presents a number of solutions leading to protection of three elements of civilization development: society, nature and economic. The combination of economic targets with social (ecological too) targets is also very characteristic to the ordoliberal concept of social market economy. This concept combines material aspects with an accomplishment of social values (freedom of mankind, social equality and justice). It shows that it is possible to tolerate logical and unquestionable market economy regulations in order to guarantee the respect of human rights and environmental protection. The link between sustainable development and ordoliberal concept of social market economy is incontestable. Both concepts promote the reduction of increasing negative phenomenon in the economy and society.
