Romanian Political Science Review Vol. XXI, No. 1 2021
Romanian Political Science Review vol. XXI, no. 1 2021 The end of the Cold War, and the extinction of communism both as an ideology and a practice of government, not only have made possible an unparalleled experiment in building a democratic order in Central and Eastern Europe, but have opened up a most extraordinary intellectual opportunity: to understand, compare and eventually appraise what had previously been neither understandable nor comparable. Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review was established in the realization that the problems and concerns of both new and old democracies are beginning to converge. The journal fosters the work of the first generations of Romanian political scientists permeated by a sense of critical engagement with European and American intellectual and political traditions that inspired and explained the modern notions of democracy, pluralism, political liberty, individual freedom, and civil rights. Believing that ideas do matter, the Editors share a common commitment as intellectuals and scholars to try to shed light on the major political problems facing Romania, a country that has recently undergone unprecedented political and social changes. They think of Studia Politica. Romanian Political Science Review as a challenge and a mandate to be involved in scholarly issues of fundamental importance, related not only to the democratization of Romanian polity and politics, to the “great transformation” that is taking place in Central and Eastern Europe, but also to the make-over of the assumptions and prospects of their discipline. They hope to be joined in by those scholars in other countries who feel that the demise of communism calls for a new political science able to reassess the very foundations of democratic ideals and procedures. -
The Voting Systems in the Council of the EU and the Bundesrat – What Do They Tell Us About European Federalism? by Jacek Czaputowicz and Marcin Kleinowski
ISSN: 2036-5438 The voting systems in the Council of the EU and the Bundesrat – What do they tell us about European Federalism? by Jacek Czaputowicz and Marcin Kleinowski Perspectives on Federalism, Vol. 10, issue 1, 2018 Except where otherwise noted content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons 2.5 Italy License E -174 Abstract The Treaty of Lisbon introduced a new system of weighted votes in the Council, which radically departs from the principles on which the distribution of votes between the Member States of the EU was based for more than half a century. At the same time, the system of double majority is fundamentally different from the assumptions on which voting systems in federal states are based, including in the Bundesrat. Systems used in federal states are usually based on a compromise between the equality of states, and the equality of citizens. Consequently, in the Nice system, smaller Member States in the EU had relatively greater power compared to their populations than smaller federal units in the German Bundesrat. The results presented in this paper indicate that the Lisbon system of voting in the Council differs significantly from voting systems in federal states. Key-words Council of the European Union, Bundesrat, voting power, Nice voting system, double majority voting system Except where otherwise noted content on this site is licensed under a Creative Commons 2.5 Italy License E -175 1. Introduction Is the European Union evolving towards a federal system? Evidence speaking for the European Union being similar to a federation includes: EU institutions taking over competences previously held by states; the principle of supremacy of European law and its direct effect in national law; and cooperation between federal institutions and the constituent units in executing various tasks.I What speaks against this thesis is: the lack of a European constitution; of the right to impose taxes; as well as the fact that states retain their membership in international organisations, such as the UN. -
Poland External Relations Briefing: Reactivation of the Weimar Triangle? Joanna Ciesielska-Klikowska
ISSN: 2560-1601 Vol. 33, No. 4 (PL) October 2020 Poland external relations briefing: Reactivation of the Weimar Triangle? Joanna Ciesielska-Klikowska 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 2017/01 Reactivation of the Weimar Triangle? In mid-October, a meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of France, Germany and Poland took place in Paris. The consultations of the heads of diplomacy of the Weimar Triangle states were the first in such a formula since 2016. This is an important change and a step forward for this tripartite cooperation that has been in abeyance for several years. It used to be a key communication channel from Warsaw to Berlin and Paris and vice versa. Today the forum is not used, but potentially it can be an important transmission belt of concepts for European integration and cooperation. MFA’s meeting in Paris The talks held on October 15, 2020 in the French capital city by the heads of diplomacy of France, Germany and Poland - Jean-Yves Le Drian, Heiko Maas and Zbigniew Rau - focused on the most important challenges of the last months and the near future. During the meeting, the Ministers centred primarily on the dynamic situation in the neighbourhood of the European Union (especially in the context of the current developments in Belarus), European Union relations with the Russian Federation, and the prospects of strengthening of the Eastern Partnership. Moreover, the Ministers discussed the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean and in Libya. -

Focus on Poland
Focus on Poland Monthly Newsletter – January Topic of the month Murder of Paweł Adamowicz Mayor of Gdańsk, Paweł Adamowicz was murdered during the charity event in his home town. Paweł Adamowicz was 53 years old, and had been mayor for more than 20 years. He was recently re- elected in November 2018 municipal elections. He was seen as an anchor of the rapid transformation of Gdańsk into a modern and open city. He was himself a moderate conservative or centrist politician who was leading one of the most liberal metropolises in Poland. Pawel Adamowicz was often a progressive voice in Polish politics, supporting LGBT+ rights and tolerance for minorities. He marched in last year's gay pride parade, a rare action for a mayor in Poland. He also supported the Jewish community when the city's synagogue had its windows broken last year. He was one of the initiators of creating European Solidarity Center in Gdańsk, interactive museum of the “Solidarność” movement and living monument of Poland’s modern history. Paweł Adamowicz grabbed his stomach and collapsed in front of the audience at the 27th annual fundraiser organised by the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, Poland’s biggest charity event (organized every January when around 200.000 volunteers collects money to buy hospital equipment). Television footage of the incident showed the mayor speaking to the crowd while holding a sparkler, before his attacker moved towards him. He was resuscitated at the scene and then transported to the Medical University. After carrying out the attack, the man shouted from the stage “I was jailed but innocent. -

Polityka Zagraniczna RP: Czy Leci Z Nami Pilot?
Agnieszka Bieńczyk-Missala ORCID 0000-0001-9456-5245 Polityka zagraniczna RP: czy leci z nami pilot? Problem COVID-19 zdominował politykę wewnętrzną państw europejskich w 2020 r., ale także miał ogromny wpływ na stosunki zewnętrzne i możliwości realizacji poli- tyki zagranicznej. Intensywność wizyt, spotkań i dyskusji radykalnie spadła, a zdalne spotkania dyplomatyczne utrudniały budowanie bezpośrednich relacji. Kwestia zwal- czania pandemii, zakupów środków medycznych i szczepionek oraz potrzeba reakcji na postępujący kryzys gospodarczy zdominowały agendę licznych instytucji międzynaro- dowych, w tym Unii Europejskiej. W przypadku Polski prowadzenie spójnej polityki zagranicznej utrudniało dodatkowo zamieszanie kompetencyjne, wynikające głównie z wycofania z Ministerstwa Spraw Zagranicznych pewnych obszarów polityki zagranicznej. Sprawy Unii Europejskiej prowadziła Kancelaria Rady Ministrów – b. sekretarz stanu w MSZ Konrad Szymański został mianowany na urząd ministra do spraw Unii Europejskiej. Relacje ze Stanami Zjednoczonymi rozwijane głównie wokół spraw bezpieczeństwa koordynowało Mini- sterstwo Obrony, a promocją gospodarki za granicą zajmowało się Ministerstwo Rozwoju. W 2020 r. nie doszło do wygłoszenia przez ministra spraw zagranicznych dorocznej informacji na temat polityki zagranicznej. Sejm nie był zainteresowany? Czy Ministerstwo Spraw Zagranicznych przestało być główną jednostką koordynującą wykonywanie polityki zagranicznej RP?1 W sierpniu minister Jacek Czaputowicz poinformował w mediach o złożeniu dymisji. Tuż przed odejściem w wywiadzie dla Rzeczpospolitej dokonał krytyki sytuacji w pod leg łym mu ministerstwie, wskazując, że konieczne jest zatrudnienie choć jednego zawodowego dyplomaty w kierownictwie ministerstwa. „Na poziomie ministra i wiceministrów nie ma obecnie w MSZ nikogo, kto przeszedł przez szkołę dyplomatyczną, szczeble kariery czy był choćby na jakiejś placówce” – podkreś lał2. Następcą Czaputowicza na stanowi- sku ministra spraw zagranicznych został Zbigniew Rau, wykładowca, poseł RP 1 Zob. -
