Regionalizm w Polsce – tradycja i współczesność (wybrane zagadnienia)

Abstract

An analysis of the history of the formation of regionalism in Poland indicates the year 1989 as a breakthrough. Before that time, the traditional model of regionalism focused primarily on the socio – cultural area. After the introduction of a democratic system, many changes can be observed, which resulted in a wide catalog of activities concentrated on the development of the region and an increased number of companies undertaking such initiatives. Modern Polish regionalism consists, above all, of the activity of the local government and the citizens themselves, who respond to the requirements of European integration and globalization. These new aspects are associated with the concept of the new regionalism.
