Abstract
The aim of the article is to trigger the debate and set the theoretical basis for further research on a framework of Polish paradiplomacy. It is also an invitation to a discussion on desirable vision of local diplomacy, from the perspective of Polish foreign policy. The analysis focuses on the institutional dimension of Polish paradiplomacy, which was shaped into a local and civic dimension of Polish foreign policy (LCD), in 2012. Sources consist mainly of official documents and communications. The author preliminarily verifies a hypothesis stating that the withdrawal of the LCD mechanism after 2015 influences negatively the development of Polish paradiplomacy and the implementation of Polish foreign policy in general. Two aspects of Polish local diplomacy are elaborated: position in priorities of foreign policy and practice. In conclusion, the author shows a possible scenario of development and places Polish paradiplomacy within theoretical frameworks.
