„Demokracja międzyrządowa” – w kierunku rekonstrukcji polskiej koncepcji reformy instytucjonalnej UE
“Intergovernmental Democracy” – towards a Reconstruction of Polish Concept of EU Institutional Reform

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is the identification of main problems of current European debate on EU institutional reform, the extraction of basic elements of Polish concept of “intergov-ernmental democracy” as well as the critical analysis of two operationalized components of this concept. The main thought is based on the view that the current European debate on EU reform is not reflected in the “intergovernmental democracy” concept based on misperception and ideological approach. Theoretical background of the article is intergovernmentalism that evaluates integration processes from the perspective of member state. Requests of the state as abstractly understood should be reflected in the construction of EU institutional system, while the precondition of the existence of the appropriate system is state’s carrying out activities adapted to political reality.
