There is no doubt that the border is a place of power – a local authority. In its essence it involves the existence of a distinct interest in forming a borderland community. This interest is reflected in the institutional form of local government, under which the local authority is exercised. Borderland is always a political force and determines the specificity of power in a given area, often determining systemic solutions in the country. It is obvious that a large role is played by the border strength with which they articulated their needs and the general conditions of political organization within which it operates (system, historical traditions, etc.). In the radically different circumstances, the local government operates in ethnically homogenous Poland. It’s not the borderland who has forced decentralization and the need for efficient governance of new political conditions. The needs of the Borderland, at first loudly articulated, have been met mostly by legislation protecting ethnic and national minorities. However, of significance is the example of the Silesian Autonomy Movement as the identity of the Borderland, which is still not satisfied with his own status. Within the framework of the homogeneous state, there are many opportunities for the borderland to participate in the exercise of local authority. Although the administrative division takes into account the principle of diversity of socio- cultural variety of the country, the administration is a standardized, three-tier system that coexists with government in the area. Each level has a decision-making council or Regional Council in the province and a Board as an executive body. The councils, the Regional Councils and the executive authorities in the municipalities are elected by the local community. Similarly, the tasks are divided equally and harmonized powers, and rules governing the relationship between the administrations in all directions. There is no hierarchical subordination here, the activity is under the protection of the courts of general jurisdiction and is subject to the administrative jurisdiction. The control and supervision of the activities are intended only to verify compliance with the law.

The author of the article shows the main structure of the functioning of power in the space occupied by particular communities in old Europe. He is also interested in the matter of ideological evaluation of political space, as well as in the specific reasons standing behind the creation of a certain place and his election to the capital of the early state. The conclusion of his deliberations - simplifying the large issue - was that power for their ceremonies created the linear space, but in fact more important to it was the need for centralization of society and focusing the social attention on one point where the monarch was placed.

Autor artykułu pokazuje podstawowe struktury funkcjonowania władzy w przestrzeni zajmowanej przez społeczności dawnej Europy. Zajmuje go zarówno kwestia ideowego wartościowania przestrzeni politycznej ludów, jak i przesłanki stojące za kreacją pewnego miejsca i jego wyborem na stolicę wczesnego państwa. Konkluzją rozważań – upraszczającą rozległy problem – jest stwierdzenie, że władza dla swoich ceremoniałów kreowała przestrzeń linearną, ale w istocie ważniejsza dla niej była potrzeba centralizacji społeczeństwa i skupienia jego uwagi w jednym punkcie w miejscu przebywania monarchy.
