The article presents the preliminary phase of party preelection of candidates and the normative requirements they had to meet in order to find themselves on the official list of candidates announced by the Constitutional Council. Then, the official electoral campaign started. The author presents it in relation especially to such program issues as projects for institutional reforms of the Fifth Republic, economic issues, unemployment, and immigration. The main attention is directed at the proposals of the three most important candidates (altogether there were 12 candidates).
In the further part, the text refers to the results of the first and second rounds and the campaign between these votings. The election results show that the traditional division - the left versus the right - has been maintained. Of particular importance to the final results was the flow of the electorate from candidates who finished their run for the presidency in the first round.

The article presents the course and character of the political electoral rivalry conducted during the selfgovernment campaign in 2006 in Konin town and Konin Poviat. The starting point for the analysis and the electoral fight waged by the campaign participants was the domination of the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) in wielding power in the town since 1992. It focused on the following program issues: construction investments in the town and the region, and from the side of the opposition - the fight for decommunization of the town office. Observers of the local political stage agreed that the results of the discussed selfgovernment elections depended on the new electoral regulations based on blocking electoral registers. In Konin, three election blocs were established, and 5 people ran for mayor.
The further part of the text presents the election results, in which the result of achieved electoral attendance proved to be particularly important as it attested to the strengthening of democratic standards and customs. The winner of the selfgovernment elections in Konin was the Civic Platform (PO), whereas further fight for mayor was waged by a politician of SLD and a woman candidate from PO. However, the negative campaign conducted by the latter before the second round of the elections was not accepted by Konin residents, who opted for keeping the leftwing government in the town.

The article analyses the issues connected with the creation and functioning of the constitution in post-communist Kyrgyzstan. Ostentatious law and order, repeatedly declared devotion to the principle of 'superiority of the constitution' and ritual references to the constitution concealed legal manipulations and procedures violating the principles, the objective of which was to strengthen the presidential power centre. The structure of the article is supported on the dichotomy: stability - destabilization. In the Kyrgyz context, legal instability was closely interrelated with stabilization of the dominant presidential power. The text specifies the factors responsible for the legal destabilization of the political system, reflected in multiplication of law, lack of hierarchy of legal acts, multiple changes of the constitution frequently made with violation of the principles. Especially the significance of the president's ambition aiming at unlimited power is exhibited. This article shows the dynamics of the law creation process shaped by tensions between the president and the parliament. It also indicates other factors connected with the political culture, the lack of democratic political elites, the low legal culture level, and the impingement of the Soviet heritage.

The contemporary state has evolved from the ancient Greek Polic and Roman civitas through the latter transformations of feudal state. At present due to the progressing globalization the state has been weakened and has been losing some of its vital functions and prerogatives. Some of those functions have been taken over by the transnational corporations and the international organizations such as the World Trade Organization and International Monetary Fund. The decline of the contemporary state is also reflected in its inability to fulfill the aspirations of its citizens and to defend effectively the interests of the nation.There are various definitions and concepts of the desired role of the state. All of them shape a highly idealistic picture of the state which is incompatible with the existing reality.There also are some controversies over the tasks,which the shate should perform vis a vis the market as well as to what extent the state power should be decentralized or centralized.There are also discussions whether the state should be weak or strong. The fact is that an increasing number of the contemporary states are on the brink of bankruptcy. This paper tries to explain the reasons why some states are declining dechining and what should be done in order to stop that decline.
