| Summary: | Most current studies on the democratic or de-democratic changes in Europe
have concentrated so far on the national level, while they are also
important at the local and regional levels. The article is aimed at
investigating: 1) changes going in either democratic or autocratic direction
within the subnational structures in a state as well as 2) their
relationship with similar processes at the central level - focusing on the
impact of the national tier on lower territorial levels. The case of Poland
will be studied, focusing on the years 2015-2023 (the period of Law and
Justice ruling in the country) but also taking into consideration previous
years to identify a possible change concerning the investigated issues
taking place since 2015. The article presents a part of the research within
the pilot project. It takes mainly a qualitative approach and is based on
the following data sources: local media materials, data from mini survey,
in-depth semi-structured interviews of sub-national politicians and national
experts as well as data from focus group interviews - local journalists and
NGOs members. |
