This study defines base for establishment of transparent and corruption free system of public procurement.

Corruption, that is, exploitation of the public position and influence for private purposes, is one of the problems of the Polish reality. The authoress focuses on some legal tools, which should eliminate corruption in the territorial governments. These tools have universal meaning for all the public sphere in Poland. The broadest group of anti-corruption tools creates norms defining what forms of parallel activities of the public servants are not allowed. Next to those 'prohibiting' norms concerning conduct or performance in the executed functions, there exist :'imposing' norms, which enforce certain pattern of behavior on the public servants. The authoress presents such norms of anti-corruption nature. These norms assure objectivity of the public servants, stipulated in the administrative law. The second chapter of the article deals in detail with those issues. It comprises regulations published in the manual of Administrative Law, which guarantee objectivity and transparency of the public servants at all stages of the given case. One of the chapters present the group of norms defined as regulations, which impose necessity of transparent work in all sectors of the public administration. It focuses on active and passive duty of information and on analysis of regulations concerning the access to the public information. The last chapter describes how the Law on Environment Protection is implemented. The authoress points out those institutions, which serve the citizen and are aimed at the growth of their thrust in the territorial self-governments.

Public procurement is an important tool used for distribution of significant part of public expenditures. The size of public procurement market presents more than 10% GDP. That is the reason why it is important to focus on the parameters of public procurement, such as transparency, openness and professionalism. This article focuses on the degree of transparency and openness of public procurement in Czech Republic and Slovakia, operating with three indicators - index of transparency of public procurement market, the index of non-transparent procurement and the index of international openness. At the same time we are pointing at legal frameworks of public procurement in these countries and formulating conclusions and recommendations.

The covid-19 pandemic has led to government action of a scope unprecedented in peacetime, including in the area of public management, administration, and public policy-making. Government approaches in the covid-19 times have thus become a relevant research issue. However, despite the extensive attention already paid to the concept of transparency in the global public and political discourse as well as academic research, we lack a clear framework for measuring the transparency of processes through which public policies, including laws and regulations, are adopted. This paper aims to remedy that, and two innovations are presented. The first one brings together various benefits of the transparency of public administration and public policy processes into a single framework, while the second one presents a conceptual toolbox for measuring the transparency of public policy. The paper illustrates use of the framework through an illustrative example of the passage of the COVID-19 legislation in Slovakia at the beginning of the pandemic, demonstrating that the overall transparency of the policy process in this case was extremely low.

Secrecy is commonly assumed as an inherent feature of diplomacy and today it is a part of many processes of real or potential danger for democracy. Transferring the competences of authorities at transnational level lets the democratic governments force even controversial laws that would be difficult to enact in parliament. The ACTA agreement is an example of such law. Its negotiations were plagued by documents leaking and signing the agreement in January 2012 caused massive protests across Europe. Attacks on the Internet sites as pressure or propaganda were used in the documents. Opposition to the whole secretive negotiations procedure was commonly known. Although the protesters did not allow to ACTA ratification, the change in negotiations was not possible. However, certain instruments of monitoring and protesting have been formed.

The study makes an attempt at rethinking and extending the notion of latent public opinion. According to this conception, in contemporary societies it does not suffice to restrict the concept of latent opinion to the bifurcation of private and public opinions on the one hand and the manifestation of so called hidden opinions on the other. The paper studies the concept of latent opinion from three aspects. Beside the secrecy of opinions it analyzes latency syndromes deriving from the restricted observability of audiences, respectively from the transformation of opinions to votes. In all these cases it is the lack of direct observability - visibility, surveyability and foreseeability - that plays an important role in the evolution of latency. The extension of the concept can refer not only to hidden opinions as intended but also to the unintended consequences of latency. Surveying the research experiences of forty years it seems certain that while before the change of system it was hidden opinions that existed much more widely, in our days it is the more difficult reachability of audiences and the transformation of opinions into votes that becomes the most important barrier of the observability of opinions.

Women have a critical role in sustaining the economy and in the development of trade. However, such role has long been invisible due to orthodox conceptions that have ignored the gender variable in commercial analyses. Today, it is generally accepted that neither the economy nor business are gender neutral and that the performance of these activities often impact negatively the lives of women. Women’s participation in trade, on equal terms as men, in any of the various possible roles ― producer, wage earner, consumer, merchant, taxpayer ― will not only favour the lives of women, but also the performance of the economies in which they participate. Transparency, as a principle of the multilateral trading system, can play a significant role as a strategy for the empowerment of women.

Harman famously argues that a particular class of anti-functionalist arguments from the intrinsic properties of mental states or events (in particular, visual experiences) can be defused by distinguishing “properties of the object of experience from properties of the experience of an object” and by realizing that the latter are not introspectively accessible (or are transparent). More specifically, Harman argues that we are or can be introspectively aware only of the properties of the object of an experience but not the properties of the experience of an object and hence that the fact that functionalism leaves out the properties of the experience of an object does not show that it leaves out anything mentally relevant. In this paper, I argue that Harman’s attempt to defuse the anti-functionalist arguments in question is unsuccessful. After making a distinction between the thesis of experiencing-act transparency and the thesis of mental-paint transparency, (and casting some doubt on the former,) I mainly target the latter and argue that it is false. The thesis of mental-paint transparency is false, I claim, not because mental paint involves some introspectively accessible properties that are different from the properties of the objects of experiences but because what I call the identity thesis is true, viz. that mental paint is the same as (an array of) properties of the object of experience. The identification of mental paint with properties of the object of experience entails that the anti-functionalist arguments Harman criticizes cannot be rightly accused of committing the fallacy of confusing the two.

In the presented contribution, the author deals with the names of the enactments in terms of related legislative technics and requirements on law-making resulting from the value orientation of the legal system on the rule of law, i.e. particularly the requirements for transparency - a good orientation in law, the requirement of legal certainty and clarity of the law. The author also describes the essentials of the names of the acts of the European Union and associated legislative technique. He speaks critically above a change of names of the legislation as well as changing the names of the acts of the European Union, which makes already difficult orientation in the system of law even more difficult. As a possible way to improve the orientation in the system of law sees electronization of authentic versions of the legislation, which will serve as a legitimate authentic source of law.
