The paper explores the issue of the application of selected theories of European inte-gration (intergovernmental and supranational) to explain the position of the Polish Justice Law and Justice party with regard to the functioning and future of the EU. The party, led by Jaroslaw Kaczynski, is a political formation which is actively engaged in the debate on the shape of the EU, pertaining to both its theoretical and practical policies. The ongoing debate has taken the form of battle between neo-functionalism and state-centric intergovernmental approach. The author believes that the main theory that explains the Law and Justice party’s approach to European issues is inter-governmentalism which aligns well with the concept of “Europe of Motherlands” adopted by the party. It proclaims the primacy of nation state and its interests in the process of European integration. This is tantamount to refuting the view that the EU can develop only in accordance with the neo-functionalism’s spill-over logic which will eventually lead to the formation of a European federation.

The article discusses the role played by the European Parliament (EP) in the EU–Ukraine Association Agreement. The aim of this process is to establish a close and mutual political and economic cooperation on both sides. By stressing the importance of EP as the only EU body having democratic legitimacy, and thus defines itself as a „guardian of democracy” in the modern world, analyzing its position on the conclu-sion of an EU association agreement with Ukraine. It should be noted that the EP pays particular attention in the context of the association to the development of democracy in Ukraine and its respect of democratic standards. This authority recognizing the geopo-litical importance of Ukraine is in favour of deepening the EU’s cooperation with that country through the conclusion of an association agreement and calls for granting Ukraine a potential European perspective. However, what is worth noting the EP in numerous resolutions makes conditional the progress in the bringing Ukraine to the EU from the incorporation of the values defined as European (democracy, rule of law, protection of minorities etc.) by Kiev. Therefore, events that indicate a crisis of democ-racy in Ukraine pay such important matter for the European Parliament (e.g. the imprisonment of opposition politicians, including former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko) to which the authorities usually adopt a clearly negative position, often contrasting with more „balanced” opinions of other EU institutions.

W artykule w oparciu o nauki o stosunkach międzynarodowych pojęcie bezpieczeństwa definiowane jest jako proces zaspokajania potrzeb i interesów uczestników stosunków międzynarodowych. W opinii autora, europejski system bezpieczeństwa ukształtował się w wyniku ustaleń podjętych przez wielkie mocarstwa w okresie drugiej wojny światowej i wskutek powojennego rozwoju sytuacji w świecie zdominowanym przez dwa super-mocarstwa. Oznaczało to, że decyzje zwycięskich mocarstw podjęte na konferencjach w Jałcie i Poczdamie określiły zasady i normy, których przestrzeganie miało zapewnić pokój i bezpieczeństwo. Konsekwencją tego stanu rzeczy było ukształtowanie się w powojennej Europie przeciwstawnych ugrupowań polityczno-wojskowych i odrębnych stref (podsystemów) bezpieczeństwa.

European security system formed as a result of the findings made by the great powers in the Second World War. This meant that the victorious powers decisions taken at the conferences at Yalta and Potsdam set out the principles and norms of peace and security in Europe. The consequence of this state of affairs was the formation of post-war Europe in two opposing blocs. The emergence during the Cold War in Europe such security model prevented the formation of a European collective security system.

In der Zeit des kalten Krieges funktionierte die europäische Sicherheit hauptsächlich als Relation zwischen der UdSSR und USA und stützte sich auf dem Gleichgewicht der Kräfte zwischen dem Osten und dem Westen. Die Teilung Europas in zwei gegensätzliche politisch – militärische Blocks unermöglichte die Gründung des allgemeineuropäischen Sicherheitssystem. Infolge dessen bildeten sich in Europa zwei voneinander unabhängige Gemeinschaftssicherheitssysteme, von denen der Schutz gegenseitigen Grundwertekataloge akzeptiert wurde. Die Beziehungen zwischen den beiden Sicherheitssystemen wurden auf der gegenseitigen Abschrecken aufgebaut, die man als Folge des Rüstungsweltlauf und dem Streben nach Erhaltung des Kräftegleichgewichts bezeichnen kann.
