This paper examines structural dependencies within the national innovation systems of 125 countries in period 2006 – 2008. Some 37 partial indicators from the World Economic Forum and World Bank databases are aggregated into 11 independent and 2 dependent variables. Variable relations account for distinctive non-linear dynamics and are modelled via two-step cluster analysis and artificial neural networks. Overall quality of education system, property rights, law and ethics, and competition forces are identified by major predictors for innovativeness. The paper also examines some assumptions by the varieties of capitalism theory on institution complementarities and level of innovativeness. No evidence is found for liberal (coordinated) economies having more efficient innovation systems than mixed ones.

Development of innovation capabilities both in research and applied aspects and improvement of institutional structure are main problems in modern economies. Enterprises couldn't create innovations without more institutional and policies support but they couldn't apply effective innovation solutions without a free market (Prahalad, Krishnan 2010, Von Tunzelmann 1995). That is why it seems that economic system functioning and especially economic policy might become a crucial factors determining the nature and dynamics of innovation development processes. Creating new innovation structure (via economic policy) and transfer of technologies should support modernisation processes in companies and creation of development opportunities for the national economy as a whole [Burton-Jones 2001; Dore, Lazonick, O'Sullivan 1999; Varieties of Capitalism 2001[. Those processes should will accelerate technological convergence of low-developed economies. The main aim of the paper is to describe and interpret two processes: 1) the impact of the institutional changes and market environment on the changes in the circumstances of innovation process, and 2) the role of innovation and technology transfer in the formation of the economic system with the support of economic policy.

The object of analysis is the perception of competition for positions in the public sector by the organizers, participants and direct observers. The research shows quite clearly that the competitions are recognized as merely a facade institution. Their course is usually, in the opinion of the respondents, contrary to the assumptions and official declarations. In this paper I present symptoms and analyze reasons for this state of affairs. I make the assessment of the described situation from the point of view of principles of meritocracy and efficiency of human resources in the public sector. I accept the assumption that a condition for effective performance of certain functions of the institution is the way it is perceived by social actors. An important role is played by the following factors: (1) acceptance of the values on which the institution bases its business, (2) consistency between the formal and informal rules, and (3) relative significance attached to the institution by those who create it and use it. Based on this assumption, I look for answers to the question of the need and the possibility of using the competition as an effective and reliable mode of selection of managers in the public sector. I take into account the socio-cultural-political context of, social actors who puts in a specific situation, which I called „collision rules”. The organizers and participants of the competitions are experiencing specific dilemmas for non-compliance of rules in force in the private and the public sphere.

The present paper consists of two parts, in which dealing with the functions of institutions we are mainly looking for the answer to the question, at a highly abstract level of analysis, how the institutions determine the actions of individuals and thereby phenomena which can be interpreted as summaries, systems and consequences of actions. In the first part of the paper, published in the previous issue of this periodical, the author made a distinction between the elementary functions of institutions, and outlined the main features of the functions of institutions concerning actions. Then he made a distinction between the normative and positive functions of institutions, and emphasized that to the certain institutions the prevalence of normative functions and to the social institutions which are prevalent in the so-called sphere of social life the prevalence of positive functions theoretically correspond. In the second part of the paper, published in the current issue, the author first points out that the distinction between the normative and positive functions is essential particularly because the positive functions of institutions correspond to the institutional norms only contingently, thus they may be functions corresponding to the institutional norms, or differing from the institutional norms. After that a distinction is made between the functions of institutions corresponding to explicit intentions, those corresponding to hidden intentions, and non-intended ones. Finally, he deals with the issue that on the one hand the distinction between the normative and positive functions of institutions, and on the other hand, the intended and non-intended functions of institutions do not correspond to each other, but there are certain connections between these typical functions.

The paper examines the social and institutional dimensions of art history in post-communist Slovakia. Art history itself an often-presumed neutral autonomous science – though brutally contaminated ideologically in the previous regime – struggles today with several problems. Not only a lack of self-reflection on the discipline and its methods and a lack of critical dialogue with past practices, but a new socio-economic framework outline the set of questions that need to be asked. The fundamental question, which the author asks, is how the science entitled art historiography is constituted and how it distributes knowledge under new conditions through concrete institutions.

The author investigates the main stages in the development of the concept of Meaning in French philosophy of the second half of 20th century. The first stage is identification of the problem of Meaning in the phenomenology of . Merleau-Ponty, who connected this problem with his task to develop the concept of 'extended, cultural-historical mind'. The second - structuralism - stage connects Mind with the concept of social mind, shifting its investigation from the sensual domain into the domain of logic of social connections. The third stage consists in criticism of the structuralism's philosophical program. Structuralism's concepts of Meaning and Mind are criticized for their formalism and causality. Meanwhile, the development of analytical philosophy of language and philosophy of mind has transferred these concepts into the domain of the rule of later L. Wittgenstein: Meaning has possessed a status of a 'regulative principle' of social life, which represents a normative system, or in the terms of V. Descombes, a social institution. The authoress demonstrates various ways of exploring the concepts of Meaning and Mind, and proves that, by ignoring an opportunity of methodological reflection upon these concepts, any humanitarian or philosophical investigation will easily shift into determinism, individualism, or subjectivism.

The paper shows different approaches to creativity, i.e. emergence of new meanings, in Merleau-Ponty and Patočka. The comparison is based mainly on Merleau-Ponty’s lectures L’institution dans l’histoire personnelle et publique (1954/55) and Patočka’s project Negative Platonism (1953). Despite some similarities evident in the key concepts “institution” and “transcendence”, there is a decisive difference between the two approaches concerning the temporality of creation. Whereas Merleau-Ponty likens the temporality of institution to future perfect tense, emphasizing the intertwining of present and future events, Patočka understands novelty as something totally different from present state of affairs. In his eyes, the question of how something new can arise equals the question of how attitude of distance to existing traditions can be achieved. Contrary to Patočka, Merleau-Ponty argues that any living tradition tends towards its own transformation and presents a case of self-transcendence, because it is governed by the principle of divergence (écart). Finally, we argue that some aspects of these two approaches both complement each other, and also show the limits of each other.

There is nothing like power in itself. What we can experience is only the particular forms and effects of the power relations. Similarly, there is no single and universal definition of power. The concept of power embodies its various relations and aspects, such as power relations, the relationships between power and institutions, government, influence, authority, coercion, violence, manipulation, freedom. Attention is paid to each of these relationships and aspects. Their interconnections and differences are shown as well.

In the 19th century Munich was one of the art capitals of Europe. Did it fit with the definition of the art world as “bohemian”? It decidedly did not if the term is understood as stressing privation and the artist’s isolation from society. However, if a more general definition of the “bohemian” art world is considered, which includes also a distinct group of bona-fide geniuses, this term could be applied aptly to the successes of the “Kunststadt” throughout the 19th century. The article traces the various constituents that characterised Munich art life, of the ways in which its principal artists, from Cornelius to Lenbach, were dubbed “Kuenstlerfuersten” and the ways they were adulated by the patrons, from the king down to the buyers of their works at the Kunstverein.
