In September 2017 the Association Agreement between the European Union and Ukraine entered into force. The Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) has lost its temporary status and, as a consequence, a quick growth of turnovers is to be expected. The cooperation between Kiev and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is developing. Yet, the future of relationships between Ukraine and the structures of the Western countries is still not clear. As demanded by Netherlands, the perspective of Ukraine’s membership in the EU is not explicitly mentioned. Germany, France and Italy are against Ukraine joining NATO, while Poland and Hungary have made some reservations regarding Ukraine’s historical and educational policies.

  • The National Road Fund and the Railway Fund As a Source of Financing for the Development of Transport Infrastructure in Poland
    PTiL 2/2019 (46) | ISSN: 1644-275X | www.wnus.edu.pl/ptil | DOI: 10.18276/ptl.2019.46-03 | 29–38 THE NATIONAL ROAD FUND AND THE RAILWAY FUND AS A SOURCE OF FINANCING FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE IN POLAND DATA PRZESŁANIA: 30.11.2018, DATA AKCEPTACJI: 14.01.2019, KODY JEL: R42, E62, H54 Sylwia Kowalska University of Szczecin [email protected] SUMMARY The article is a review paper whose main objective is to analyze and evaluate the National Road Fund and the Railway Fund as sources of financing infrastructural investments in the transport sector in Poland. The first part of the article presents the theoretical approach to the financing of transport infrastruc- ture. The essence of investments in both road and rail infrastructure is presented. In addition, selected sources of fundraising for infrastructure investments were discussed on the basis of a literature review. The second part presents and compiles secondary data on financial flows in the National Road Fund and the Railway Fund. The receipts and expenditures of both Funds were analyzed and their importance in infrastructure financing was determined. KEYWORDS transport infrastructure, transport financing, infrastructure investments INTRODUCTION Transport infrastructure is a fundamental physical and social resource, the presence of which is necessary for proper social and economic functioning and development. It is one of the links in the national economy, whose comprehensive development affects the overall efficiency of the econ- omy. Consequently, economic progress can be reduced through neglects and inaccuracies in the development of transport infrastructure (Grzywacz, 1982). Furthermore, it is noted that there are strong two-way links between the development of transport infrastructure and the improvement of competitiveness and economic and spatial cohesion of the regions.

  • Blog: Poland's Presidential Election: Will the Government Collapse?
    LSE European Politics and Policy (EUROPP) Blog: Poland’s presidential election: Will the government collapse? Page 1 of 4 Poland’s presidential election: Will the government collapse? Poland’s government is in danger of losing its parliamentary majority following a bitter dispute over the timing of the country’s presidential election, writes Aleks Szczerbiak. But although the decomposition of the governing camp could herald a major political re-alignment, it is difficult to see a stable alternative administration emerging in the current parliament. The Polish government, led by the right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party, is facing its biggest political crisis since it came to office in autumn 2015, precipitated by a dispute over whether the forthcoming presidential election should go ahead in spite of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The election was originally scheduled for 10 May, with a second round run-off a fortnight later between the two leading candidates if none secured more than 50% of the votes. It is crucially important because a victory for Law and Justice-backed incumbent Andrzej Duda would give the government a three-year run without any national elections. However, as the party lacks the three- fifths legislative majority required to over-turn a presidential veto, Duda’s defeat would seriously hamper Law and Justice’s ability to govern effectively. Given his relatively high approval ratings and the fact that he was Poland’s most trusted politician, Duda was widely assumed to be the favourite. At the same time, however, last autumn’s parliamentary election – when Law and Justice retained its overall majority but lost control of the Senate, Poland’s less powerful second chamber – showed how evenly balanced support for the government and opposition was, with many voters determined to use any opportunity to block the ruling party.

  • 2020: What Next? Poland, Europe and the World in the Last Months of the Year Dear Readers
    DOSSIER FOR MEMBERS OF AMCHAM POLAND 2020: What next? Poland, Europe and the World in the last months of the year Dear Readers, “The one thing we can say with great certainty is that the ever-present uncer- tainty is constant, and will accompany us in the coming decade”. These are the words with which I opened the Risk and Trends 2020 conference on Jan- uary 31. This was right on target, although it is not a remarkable feat to find the future to be unpredictable. In January, I spoke about a decade of instability, about an acceleration of events, and about attention spans that have been re- duced to a bare minimum. I also spoke of the best way to deal with this new reality. And these words also seem to be relevant today. If 2020 is a storm and Poland is a boat battered by incoming waves, we at Polityka Insight would like to be the crow’s nest. We don’t count the waves, we won’t predict when the sun will come out, we don’t have a map that will lead to safe, dry land. Our ambition is to stand out above the chaos, see just a bit more, and deliver to you, as soon as possible, the knowledge of coming events, dangers and glimpses of hope. This is the reason we have prepared this publication which tries to antici- pate the final months of this crazy year. Many of the things we wrote will come true, some will not. In the meantime, unexpected swans will flow in, whose existence we didn’t even imagine.

  • The Realization of the Autostrada A1 in Poland: a Discussion of Spatial Implications
    THE REALIZATION OF THE AUTOSTRADA A1 IN POLAND: A DISCUSSION OF SPATIAL IMPLICATIONS BY DEVON M. LECHTENBERG THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Julie Cidell ABSTRACT The Autostrada A1 is a highway currently under construction in Poland. The Autostrada A1 will connect two major Polish ports on the Baltic Sea with industrial areas in the south of the country. Together with the construction of other major highways such as the A2, A3, and A4, it will form a network the significance of which for Poland is paralleled by the Interstate Highway system in the United States and the Autobahn network in Germany. I would suggest that almost every effect that the Autostrada A1 or its realization has had or will have on its environment carries spatial implications. Economic and demographic patterns will likely be significantly affected by the presence of a new north-south highway in Poland. The Autostrada A1 itself, the process to build it, and the transformed government and legal regimes to administer it are all Polish spaces which are merging with the greater space of the European Union while still having ties to the East. Implicit in this process is the further enablement of Poland and other Central European countries which will benefit from the Autostrada A1 to realize their full economic, political and social potential within the contemporary order in Europe and the world.

  • In the Shadow of Plagues:2020 Presidential Elections in Poland
    DOI : 10.14746/pp.2021.26.2.3 Piotr SULA University of Wrocław ORCID ID: 0000-0001-5377-5684 Małgorzata MADEJ University of Wrocław ORCID ID: 0000-0002-5274-8614 Kamil BŁASZCZYŃSKI University of Wrocław ORCID ID: 0000-0003-4896-8371 In the shadow of plagues:2020 presidential elections in Poland Abstract: Presidential elections in Poland have always drawn more voters to the ballot box than par- liamentary ones. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the turnout in the 2020 presidential elections was the second-highest since 1989. The glib answer might be that voters were simply availing themselves of the opportunity to leave the house, however briefly, since COVID-19 measures had largely confined people to their homes for most of the year. More likely, albeit paradoxically, heightened voter interest was triggered by political autocratisation, the other plague that Poles have been struggling with, in this case since 2015. The election was won by the incumbent, Andrzej Duda, whose advantage was credited to his appeal among less-educated and older people living in rural areas. In the end, the governing Law and Justice (PiS) party, which had backed Duda’s campaign, managed to avoid cohabitation-related inconvenience for the second time. Key words: Presidential elections, voting behaviour, autocratisation, pandemic, Poland Introduction residential elections in semi-presidential systems seem to be as important as par- Pliamentary ones. This claim is grounded on the observations that all political par- ties invest their effort and resources to win these elections and that citizens tend to vote for a candidate for head of state more often than for prospective deputies.

    ISSN: 2560-1601 Vol. 9, No. 1 (PL) July 2018 Poland Political briefing: Poland Domestic Political Development Dominik Mierzejewski 1052 Budapest Petőfi Sándor utca 11. +36 1 5858 690 Kiadó: Kína-KKE Intézet Nonprofit Kft. [email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: Chen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu The latest political development in Poland is mainly driven by the new amendment to the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance. The briefing discussed the domestic and international dimension of the new amendments, as well as comments on the future leadership and the transition of power in the two biggest political parties in Poland: the Law and Justice and the Civic Platform. The Senate (upper house of the Polish Parliament) voted to change the controversial law on the Institute of National Remembrance. In the Senate 78 senators took part in the vote, 76 voted for "in favor", one senator was against, and one abstained. The earlier changes were also voted by the Sejm. The amendment repeals articles: 55a, which threatens fines and imprisonment for attributing responsibility to the Polish nation and state and article 55b, which states that criminal provisions are to apply to the Polish citizens and the foreigners. Immediately the new amendments were signed by the President of Poland Andrzej Duda. Moreover, at the joint press conference of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, the declaration of Poland and Israel was signed and read out. As was said by the leader of the Law and Justice Jarosław Kaczyński It was time to cut through all the unfavorable discussions about the Institute of National Remembrance law for Poland.
