This article concerns the issue of the attitude of Polish libertarian parties to Polish integration with the European Communities/European Union. Included within the politi-cal parties which were the subject of interest for the author are: the Union of Real Politics, the Congress of the New Right Wing, the Libertarian Party and the Renewal Coalition of the Republic of Freedom and Hope. It should be emphasized that the purpose of the elaboration was not only to present the inclination of these parties to the EC/EU, but also to indicate the possible differences between them on this particular issue. On the basis of research methods used in the article (analysis of sources, histori-cal method, comparative method) it has been demonstrated that Polish libertarian parties – propagating the ideas of minimal state and laissez-faire economy – are scepti-cal to Polish integration with EC/EU. Simultaneously it must be noted that the attitude to the European integration process – as shown in the example of the Union of the Real Politics – may, under the influence of changing political situation, succumb to minor changes.

The third part, it presents the foundations of the devolution reforms in the programs of the Welsh political parties during the period 1997–2011. B. H. Toszek does not avoid showing the political and historical background of the decision making process. He presents in a very interesting manner, the attitude and proposals for the devolution reform of the main political groups in Wales over the space of nearly 15 years. The work is based, among others, on the analysis of the program documents, electoral manifestos of the four, most important political groups, having the largest impact on political and political decisions taken in Wales: the Welsh Labor Party, the Welsh Conservative and Unionist Party, Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Liberal Democrats. This is valuable and very interesting work, and the reader will certainly not be disappointed with this publication.
W wielu środowiskach, w tym także w kręgach naukowych pokutuje pogląd redukujący marketing polityczny do kategorii zestawu metod i narzędzi socjotechnicznych stosowanych w polityce w celu uzyskania poparcia społecznego i osiągnięcia dobrego wyniku w wyborach. Z takim poglądem trzeba zdecydowanie polemizować bowiem upraszcza on postrzeganie zarówno zakresu, jak również celów i charakteru tej dynamicznie rozwijającej się dziedziny życia związanej ze sferą polityki. Niezbędne staje się dokładne wyjaśnienie istoty marketingu politycznego. We współczesnym świecie jest to: z jednej strony – dziedzina praktyki politycznej, a z drugiej – dziedzina badań naukowych1. Jeśli nawet pole analizy zostałoby ograniczone do wymiaru praktycznych zastosowań marketingu politycznego to i tak nie można go utożsamiać jedynie z zestawem technik promocyjnych. Poza promocją politycznego produktu pełni on bowiem szereg rozlicznych funkcji w demokratycznym systemie politycznym.
