Institute of Public Affairs, Warsaw, Poland, tggrosse{at}op.p1

This paper is an attempt to evaluate the regional policy system in Poland with respect to the development and improvement of economic competitiveness. The first part of the paper outlines basic elements of the Polish system of regional policy. Subsequent paragraphs focus on the key elements of the regional policy system in Poland with special consideration of the experience of the past few years, and the most significant programme documents establishing the relevant policy framework for the future. The study analyses the following issues: the systemic capacity to identify and pursue strategic development objectives, the absence of government regional policy, the institutional limitations for self-government development policy in voivodeships (regions) and the cultural threats looming over regional development policy. The final section offers a list of systemic recommendations to enable the creation of more effective programmes and structures of regional policy in Poland after 2006.

Key Words: cohesion policy • development • economic competitiveness • Poland • regional policy
