Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to describe the process of democracy as it has been functioning in Poland over the last decade. The main research hypothesis in the article is that the political culture has had a crucial impact on the functioning of democracy in Poland. The author’s goal was to describe the process of political rivalry and the determinants of the process of consolidating democracy. The text is of an interdisciplinary character, since the research problem has been analyzed from the political, sociological and philosophical perspectives. While verifying the hypothesis put forward, it was observed that it is the low level of political culture that is very likely to have a negative impact on the functioning of democracy in Poland. An attempt to analyze the research problem may make a significant contribution to further study of the process of consolidating democracy in Poland.
