Good Governance as a New Form of Management in the Context of the Europe 2020 Strategy

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyse the concept of good governance in the context of the implementation of the Europe 2020 Strategy. The analysis of the application of “good governance” in the implementation of the EU individual policies shows that it is an issue to which an important role from the point of view of grouping as a whole is assigned. As the crisis in the EU deepens, it becomes increasingly important. Meanwhile, the analysis of the state of “good governance” implementation in the aspect proposed by the EU indicates that the appropriate role was assigned to “good governance” at the level of strategic documents. The situation is different when it comes to the relation between “good governance” concept and its implementation in practice. It concerns not only the EU as a whole but also the individual countries such as Poland. Here, progress is mainly dependent on whether the implementation of a particular policy which is characterised by the relevant priorities and principles brings tangible benefits for national interests.
