Antinomies and Problems of Polish Democracy 2019 AD

Abstract

This article brings an attempt to answer the question of what fundamental antinomies and problems can be identified in the current functioning of the Polish political system. Krzysztof Łabędź has based his discussion on studies by, among other scholars, Giovanni Sartori, Larry Diamond, Philippe Schmitter, and Juan J. Linz, who identify the basic possible internal contradictions and paradoxes of democratic systems. In response to the above question, Łabędź draws attention, among other things, to the possibility of the existence of autonomous public opinion, to the consent to the implementation of the demo-authoritarian model and to the features of political culture that are conducive to it: the scope of the oligarchization of power, the depth of political divisions and conflicts, and the scope of the autonomy of the rulers and the state’s independence
from the Church (as an institution relatively independent of public opinion).
