Stabilizowanie jako wymiar decydowania politycznego

The paper deals with issues related to the category of political stability. Main goal is to determine the semantic scope of the concept of stabilization in the field of political theory. The reasoning was based on Carl Schmitt’s concept of decisionism and on systems analysis. The text uses the original analytical division into the following cases: a) de- stabilization; b) stabilizing social norms; c) stabi- lizing legal norms; d) stabilization routine. The final result of the consideration is the distinction and definition of cases in which the process of political stabilization takes place. These findings are important for the study of political systems, their evolution, duration, and collapse.
