Prospects for the system reform of the European Union by 2025 : implications for Poland

This paper contains a critical analysis of the reforms of the European Union planned by 2025, in particular the reform of the euro area, changes in EU social policy, reform of the EU Common Security and Defence Policy, and changes to EU finances. The author formulates two research hypotheses. The first is based on the assumption that structural reform will strengthen the European Union. However, the second hypothesis is that these reforms will have a significant impact on Poland’s future position in the EU. In this context, the author also formulates conclusions and recommendations on the benefits and dangers for Poland resulting from the planned EU reforms.
