Title: Polens demokratiska utveckling 2015 till 2021
Course: STVA22, Uppsatsarbete 12hp
Authors: Emma Bäckström, Malva Fors Holfält, Josephine Nilsson

Key words: Bermeo; democratic consolidation; democratic backsliding; development; PiS; Poland; Linz & Stepan.
Purpose: To describe and to explain the democratic backsliding of Poland between 2015 and 2021
Methodology: Qualitative research
Theoretical perspective: The main topic this essay will discuss is the democratic development in Poland. The analysis of this will be initiated by using both Linz and Stepan’s theory on five interactive arenas (Civil Society, Political Society, Rule of Law, State Bureaucracy and Economic Society) and also Bermeo’s article ‘’On Democratic backsliding’’. These two different theoretical frameworks will be used as a base to analyze the democratic development of Poland between 2015 to 2021, and if there has been any democratic backsliding. This thesis will be a case study where we aim to find different factors to the democratic development.
Conclusions: This essay will indeed find that democratic backsliding has occurred within the timeframe studied, and further that it can be described and explained at least partially through existing theory. The means by which the democratic backsliding in Poland is occurring seems to be mainly very gradual and slowly disassembling democracy through the institutions on which democracy rests. (Less)
