Samorząd terytorialny jako nowy podmiot polityki przestrzennej
Local self-goverment as a new subject of spatial policy

Summary/Abstract: Alongside with forming the economy based on knowledge and with intensifying globalization as well as changes of paradigm of economic development, we can also observe changes in space. These changes appear in the growth of part and the position of council powers. The existing economic, institutional, technological and social net in local, regional, national as well as international dimension creates new phenomena and frames for common actions. As a result of these complex processes a new subject of spatial policy appears, i.e. local self-government. The article tries to show the changes which occurred in the local self-government both in Poland and in chosen European Union countries. Its new role as a subject of spatial policy is presented. Consequently the existing, important systemic differences on the territories of individual states of the European Union are expressed.
