The description of the mission and activities of the international NGO organization Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) should be seen as an example of humanitarian, pastoral and development aid. The presented data gives a picture of the needs, but also shows that behind each of the projects there are specific stories of disadvantaged people. Reflecting on the activities and specific projects of the ACN Foundation allows us to conclude that one organization, even with an international reach, is not able to solve all the world’s problems, but it can certainly show the world a picture of needs in many of its regions. The study is part of the research into the areas of humanitarian aid, religious problems in the world, the impact of the papal aid organization on the development of social and religious life, volunteering and the integral development of local communities. The source data used in this text is the Foundation’s internal 2019 data. Two selected countries, Lebanon and South Sudan are representative countries supported by ACN. The selected aid projects illustrate the scale of the aid and can be used to draw a picture of the needs. This example of ACN activities contributes to further research into the state of aid, the identification of aid needs and aid effectiveness in different regions of the world. The presented data may also inspire even greater solidarity between nations in mutual aid and may inspire other aid organizations to increase their involvement in aid in the indicated regions.

Effective communication fits into the social context, which means that there is a relationship between the transfer of various information and the behavior of a given community. Communication is a two-way process, concerning, on the one hand, transferring information, and on the other hand, reading information, which in theological terms can be reduced to the personalistic context (concerning a human person). Man remains in the center of interest in media communication, and contemporary personalism considers communication processes as important for the development of man and his spiritual sphere. In the case of believers, this spirituality is inextricably linked to the theology of communion with God as a set of thoughts regarding the processes taking place when deepening the spiritual sphere. The theology of communion is therefore reduced to the theology of spirituality, and human development in the spiritual sphere largely determines the well-being of each individual.

According to new institutional economics, institutional change is a precondition to economic change and is caused by multiple forces. In addition to path dependence, and strategic policy direction of the country, there are external forces which might have a path-breaking effect. This paper investigates the role of new generation free trade agreements (NGFTAs) in the process of institutional change using the case of Vietnam. It focuses on the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) as the most advanced trade agreements ever concluded between developed and developing economies. The findings are based on selected new generation provisions of the CPTPP and EVFTA that confirmed limited success in formal institutional change, no visible impact on the informal part of the institutional setting, and a lack of enforcement incentives. However, institutional change might be achieved by market shifts that activate businesses. These entities, for example, enforce intellectual property rights, modern corporate governance standards or labor rights protection that might cause the spill-over effect into a broader spectrum of economic actors. Thus, they might cause a shift in informal norms triggering incremental changes leading to successful institutional change. NGFTAs might be considered indirect facilitators of this process because they promote a friendly business environment and increase Vietnam‘s investment attractiveness.

Since the ancient times sanctions have been applied in the course of various foreign policies in parallel with the ongoing armed conflict or separately in order to achieve certain political objectives. Over time, sanctions have undergone continuous transformation including types, as well as the decision-making procedures resulting in their application. The article provides an overview of the process of transformation of the nature of the sanctions beginning with primitive tools aimed at achieving one simple effect to elaborate measures used for a particular international order, resulting from a multi-stage, decision-making process and having a variety of consequences. The study is based on the most spectacular examples of applied sanctions in the history of mankind.

Opracowanie jest efektem badań zrealizowanych na przełomie listopada i grudnia 2021 r. na terenach przy granicy Polski z Białorusią, przeprowadzonych wśród księży rzymskokatolickich pełniących posługę duszpasterską na tym obszarze. Celem badań było poznanie nastrojów społecznych i postaw duchownych dotyczących kryzysu migracyjnego w 2021 r. Wnioskować można, że księża z parafii w rejonie przygranicznym są bardziej skłonni myśleć o wspólnocie w kategoriach narodowościowych niż ewangelicznych, co zapewne wynika z doświadczeń historycznych Polski z Rosją i Związkiem Socjalistycznych Republik Radzieckich (ZSRR), uratą niepodległości i zależnością od władzy komunistycznej rządzącej z Moskwy.

This publication is a result of interviews carried out at the end of November-beginning of December 2021 in the areas along the border between Poland and Belarus with Roman Catholic priests providing pastoral ministry in that area. The aim of the interviews was to gain insight into the social moods and attitudes of the clergy with respect to the migration crisis in the year 2021. It may be guessed that the priests from the borderland parishes are more prone to thinking about the community in national rather than evangelical categories, which most probably is an outcome of the historical experiences of Poland with Russia and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), the loss of independence and subordination to the communist authorities in Moscow.

The article presents a concept of research and its social application concerning the creation and modelling of theologically inspired and supported patriotic attitudes in the Polish historical and security-related context. It concerns patriotism which, primarily, refers to Poland’s national heritage, theology, Catholic social science and national responsibility; secondly, it is directed at a sovereign economic development locally and on the international arena; thirdly, it shapes pro-societal and pro-defence attitudes; fourthly, it takes into account contemporary challenges linked with the environment, demography, migrations and “temporal challenges”. The text is classified among the papers on conceptualization of research projects in the area of security studies, social policies and political science, account being taken of the contexts and problem references to theology, history and cultural anthropology.
