Criticism of the authoritarian government in Poland in 1926-1939 by Stanisław Stroński
Abstract
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: Analysis of the writings by Stanisław Stroński critical about authoritarian government in Poland under Piłsudski’s rule. Indicating its strong and weak points on the basis of specific examples. Confrontation of the authoritarian government criticism with the available literature. Critical evaluation of publicist accusations.
RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: What elements of authoritarian government criticism did Stroński emphasize? Which of them are of temporary (limited to the current era), and which of universal character? Comparison of publicist arguments of both sides of political debate. Confrontation of the formed accusations with relevant literature and available historical sources. Formulating conclusions based on critical analysis of the sources.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: Analysis of internal and ex‑ ternal policy of the contemporary government based on monographic works, autobiographies, diaries of politicians mentioned by the Author; and historical sources e.g.: Protokoły posiedzeń Rady Ministrów, Dzienniki czynności prezydenta etc. Specification and evaluation of critical remarks validity (confirmation or rejection) – according to the source criticism art.
RESEARCH RESULTS: The areas of authoritarian government criticism include those referring to particular historical era (e.g. seizing power by coup d’état ) and some presumably universal elements indicating quasi authoritarian governing model.
CONCLUSIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND INNOVATIONS: The principal recommendation is pointing at Stanisław Stroński writings – the significant historical source, rarely used by political scientists in scientific discourse.
