Kwestia ustroju metropolii jako elementu polskiego systemu samorządu terytorialnego
The Issue of the Metropolitan System as an Element of the Polish System of Local Government

Summary/Abstract: This work is devoted to the issue of metropolitan governance as the Polish system of local government. The debate among experts and local government practitioners emphasizes the importance of a unified regulation of metropolitan governance. This issue is identified as another challenge facing local government authorities, and to some extent also regional ones, in the current decade. Several issues merit attention in scholarly analysis: Is the metropolitan issue truly a key systemic issue for our metropolitan areas? Does it require uniform legal regulation, or a differentiated one – different for the Silesian conurbation? Does each metropolis require its own lex specialis? How can the resistance of local government regions to new systemic regulations be mitigated, and is this resistance justified? Political science analysis will address these issues. The following research techniques will be employed: historical-descriptive analysis, legal-institutional analysis, comparative analysis, and systems analysis.
