Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the pattern of governance of the right-wing parties in Poland between 2015 and 2019. It bears many features of a concentration of powers as a method of achieving desired goals in the sphere of political competition and public policy along with the use of informal components. The manifestation of concentration of power is centralisation, understood as the transfer of functions of the state from the lower (in particularlocal government) levels to the higher, as well as strong interference of the central government in many areas of public life that previously remained apolitical.
