The author presents the impact of Lisbon Strategy on opportunities to support the development of non-governmental organisations in Poland. He studies two inter-related issues: the Strategy’s impact on supporting the development of the so-called Third Sector and opportunities for the non-governmental organisations to achieve the Strategy’s objectives. An analysis of so delineated a field of study serves to arrive at three aims. The first is a description of the vectors and content of political transfer of Europeanisation (this is not only a matter of determining the standards of conduct, the values and, most importantly, the regulations being transferred, but also of the main objectives and interests of the Union actors). The second is the analysis of the issue of the effectiveness with which the objectives of Europeanisation on Poland are implemented, while the third is the analysis of local determinants in the processes of Europeanisation (can the strengthening of the non-governmental organisation in Poland serve an objective wider than those related to the improvement of the Lisbon targets’ implementation alone such as, e.g. a reconstruction of the state?).
