The decentralization of public authority as a result of the political changes in Poland

Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to answer the following questions: does the present model of local government, professional associations and self-regulatory business associations fulfil the idea of decentralisation? Does it meet the expectations of the authors of the 1989 system reform? The currently functioning model of administration assumes the execution of administrative tasks by both the centralised governmental administration and a multifarious system of independent bodies and institutions which carry out public tasks vested in them by legislation. Apart from some obligatory units, like the units of local government, there are some other entities which have a significant role in the pub- lic sphere: professional associations and self-regulatory business associations.
