Abstract

The regulations on territorial self-government, which was reactivated in Poland in 1990, initially only at the level of the municipality and then also at the level of the county and the voivodship, have been evolving over the past 30 years of their operation, including in terms of the acceptable forms of cooperation between territorial self-government units: inter-municipal unions, municipal unions, unions of counties, unions of counties-municipalities, metropolitan unions and municipal agreements. The authors draw attention to various types of legislative stumbling blocks in the regulations regarding the collaboration of territorial self-government units, and note the trend that is positively assessed by territorial self-government units, to gradually increase not only the acceptable forms of cooperation, but also the ability of units operating at various levels of territorial self-government to refer to them, as well as their ability to cooperate with the government administration
