Rozliczalność władzy politycznej jako element wzmocnienia demokracji i podwyższenia jej jakości: przykład Polski
Accountability of political power as an element of strengthening democracy and increasing its quality: example of Poland

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to identify appropriate accountability mechanisms necessary to be implemented in the Polish political sphere, which correspond to changes in civilization.The research problem concerned the consideration of the legitimacy of implementing mechanisms and tools of full accountability of the political sphere, based on elements of e-democracy. The primary method was analysis and critical literature review. In the first part selected problems of contemporary democracy are presented. In the second part there are presented proposals of mechanisms and tools which would fully introduce the principle of accountability of political power in Poland. One of the reasons for the decreasing trust in democracy and its quality is the lack or weak accountability mechanisms of political power. The results of the scientific analysis indicate that the process of implementing the principle of full accountability must be preceded by two necessary actions. The first step is to implement the concept of e-democracy proposed by the European Parliament, then the provisions included in the European Agenda for Democracy. In order to implement full accountability, must be introduced clear criteria for comparison, analysis, selection and enforcement of political sanctions.
