REGIONAL POLITICAL ELITE OF BELARUS AND POLAND: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF HRODNA REGION AND PODLASKIE VOIVODESHIP

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the impact of historical development, political regime and economic structure of Belarus and Poland on the dynamics of formation of regional ruling elite in the two neighbouring regions: Hrodna Region and Podlaskie Voivodeship. A comparative analysis of these three factors is conducted, followed by a comparison of composition of the regional representative bodies. The results show that the employed factors are relevant for explaining the diff erence of the elite structure. Meanwhile, a similarity of certain parameters is traced, presumably being the result of other type of factors.
