Habermas’s model of social communicative relations creates the ground for his theory of legitimized political power with the category of equality as its key component. Category of equality guarantees citizens inclusion and access to communication circuit which constitutes the ground for public dialogue in sphere of communicative actions. Habermas brings out also a discursive concept of law-making as its substance also lies in category of equality. The institutionalization of the equality rule through the law ensures communicative reproduction of democratic mechanism. That is possible by dint of civil society active in public sphere and its communicative activities which invariably transfer to the law-making process meeting the current social needs.

Conception of social capital is becoming more and more popular instrument which enables transdisciplinary approach to integrative phenomenons on socio-economical nature. The article is referring to EU’s regional policy impact on development of social capital in cross-border regions of European Community. Specific socioeconomical and sociopolitical features of cross-border regions, in which the european projects are carrying out, allow to treat them like a some sort of european integration laboratory. Differences between the institutional-political, socioeconomical and cultural systems in the territories of cross-border regions constitutes in a way the reflection of whole UE and its membership countries situation. The article makes the attempt to response for a question - which elements of regional policy support the social-integrative influence of particular social capital components – that is trust, norms of reciprocity and networks of contacts. The analyse is led by example of regional programs infl uence over the areas of the Polish-German borderland: Ostbrandenburg – Lubuskie Voivodeship.

The concept of social capital is becoming a more and more popular instrument which enables transdisciplinary approach to integrative phenomena of socioeconomic nature. The article discusses the methods of measuring of social capital. It focuses on two perspectives in determining the indicators of measuring social capital — through examining the social structures’ variables and through analyzing the social processes taking place as a result of these variables. Using a structural analysis of networks we can measure such social structures’ variables as: the size, density, heterogeneity of networks, the strength of ties within the framework of the network, the individual positions of the actors, access to individual networks of contacts (their openness), criteria for membership within the network, the degree of hierarchy and formalization of their structures. On the other hand, using the “actor-oriented perspective,” which is based on relationships in studying social capital, we can explore the essential components of social capital, such as: trust and social norms (with particular reference to the standards of reciprocity). Social capital can be researched through the social structures that create it, as well as in a descriptive manner, focusing on the nature of the relationship between actors within the network. The selection of research methods depends on specific cognitive needs. The choice of tested variables is determined by the social context of research as well as by the subject of study.
