This study argues that despite of the formal dominance of the Slovak parliament over the government as originally laid down in Slovak constitution, the government manages to dominate Slovak constitutional system at the expense of the parliament. Firstly, this happened through an extensive use of government's legislative powers. Later on, the EU accession of Slovakia predominantly an executive affair - strengthened this dominance and led to 2001 constitutional amendment. Despite another constitutional change initiated by the parliament in 2003, which was to re-establish the institutional balance, the parliament is still unable to control and influence the government with regard to EU matters.

This study focuses on administrative capacity and domestic EU-coordination structures in new member states. It analyzes data from 65 semi-structured interviews with Brussels officials and confronts them with primary data and review of the existing research on EU member states. It is argued that the Central and Eastern European states in the EU are predominantly influenced by the length of their membership, their size and their human resources management in EU affairs. The length of the membership influences member states' knowledge about inner workings of the EU and their ability to build and sustain institutional relations and networks with and within EU institutions. Being mostly small countries, new member states (NMS) have used prioritization of issues and EU presidency as a contra-strategy, but have had only limited success in uploading their preferences to the EU level so far. In the personnel policy, several NMS revised their conditionality-influenced legislation on civil service after becoming EU members, which seems to have influence on a high level of turnover in EU bureaucratic positions, and is directly connected to NMS' ability to establish and defend their national positions in the EU affairs.

The article marks an attempt at the assessment of changes that have taken place in the rural areas of Poland over five years of its membership of the European Union. The changes attributable to Poland's presence in the European Union can be included in the series of changes that occurred in the country's rural areas in the late 1970s and the early 1980s as well as those brought about by systemic transformation launched in 1989. A look at the Polish countryside from such perspective permits to see it as a dynamic space and to divide the occurring changes into three categories: the category of changes remaining within the scope of the earlier started processes, the category of changes correcting this processes, and the category of changes inaugurating new process. The article consists of two parts. In the first part the authoress describes the influence of EU membership on the long-term transformation processes started in the past: a slow-down in the pace of deruralisation of the countryside and dualisation of agriculture, a faster pace of disagrarisation and re-stratification of the rural community. In the article's second part the authoress deals with the spheres where new phenomena surface - chiefly, the sphere of social awareness (optimism, ambivalent Europeanisation) and the sphere of regulations that create the basis for a new civic character of the rural community.
