Polarization-diffusion versus sustainable development and economic concepts promoted by the Civic Platform and Law and Justice

Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes key issues related to the polarization-diffusion model of social and economic development. It compares this model with the concept of sustainable development and examines their impact on the economic development of the country. The authors aimed to determine whether, in such a highly polarized political environment, it is possible to create a common cross-party, long-term economic development strategy. The goal of that strategy is to remain stable despite changes in political leadership. However, this seems challenging due to the fact that supporters of the polarization-diffusion system dominate in larger centers of western Poland and large cities, much like the voters of Civic Platform (PO RP). In contrast, opponents of the system dominate smaller towns and rural areas, aligning with supporters of Law and Justice. Given that these two major political parties advocate for opposing models of economic development, it appears unlikely that Civic Platform and Law and Justice will agree on a unified plan for state economic development across party lines.
