Kształt sceny politycznej w Polsce w okresie transformacji ustrojowej

Abstract

The term political scene, which covers phenomena of versatile character, is very extensive and it is often used interchangeably with the expression political space. The political scene, or space, of modern countries is most often defined through references to the broadly understood party system. The experience of the transformation period demonstrates that an important role in the shaping of the political scene is played by the so-called pendulum effect. The evolution of the Polish party system and the shape of the political scene as its consequence, is still largely unpredictable.
