Zarys problematyki przywództwa politycznego w Unii Europejskiej

The subject of political leadership of the EU appears in discussions of experts not only in the context of internal and external problems of the Union, but the current and future shape of the political system as well. Recent events, including in particular the economic crisis, revealed once again the most serious problems of the political system of the EU – the lack of a clear system of institutions and leadership. It seems that the most appropriate definition of leadership in the context of united Europe complexity is a centre that determines the vision and mission of the organization, creates its objectives, as well as bears the responsibility for implementing the strategy and making changes in the organization. The basic aim of this study is to find answers to questions concerning the possibility of mapping out a centre for the political leadership of the European Union.
