The contemporary public administration system in Lithuania was created and developed from scratch after the collapse of the communist administrative system. The EU made an especially big impact during the accession process and later. But Lithuania experimented and merged American, Canadian or Hong Kong models with the European standards in its own system of public administration. One of the most peculiar features of public administration in Lithuania is its clearly legalistic dominance. The legalistic culture and legalistic administrative tradition have their ties to the Soviet legacy as well as to the EU, conditionally. The legalistic vector of Lithuanian public administration has its positive and negative sides. On the positive side there is the assurance (at least at a procedural level) of the supremacy of law. However as this is a traditional model of public administration, it brings with it a lack of economic or managerial efficiency. But Lithuanian-specific, traditional model of public administration means also legal formalism, which is an impediment for flexible and open government, and for more trust in society for state institutions.

The paper deals with twenty-two economic and forest maps which were created for the Plzen branch. Using them we can get an idea about the Plzen demesne from the late 18th century till the mid-19th century; at that time no significant changes in land ownership of the town occurred. The set includes manuscript and coloured maps with German keys. Oftentimes they are in italics. We can distinguish two main topic-based groups. The first larger unit comprises maps created by the forester and the town surveyor Frantisek Emanuel Recht (MP 583/1-11 and probably MP 616) which were created during the 1820s. Their main purpose was to depict the ploughed territory, i.e. town plots adjoining private plots which were illegally used by owners of the private plots. This illegal occupation often applied to town forests the edges of which would be turned into fields or meadows. The second group comprises maps which were created while forester Frantisek Erazim Ullmann (MP 50, 52, 695, 857 and 865) was in office. They were created at the turn of the 19th century and were used in the process of forest systemization. Unlike Recht's maps, this group survived whole and shows all forests in the demesne. Other maps were used for example for planning of roads (MP 9, 59, 842) or were included in a larger map set (MP 138). Map MP 677 is an exception, since it is the only one which shows the whole Plzen demesne with all forests and villages as they appeared in 1842. The map set could become a very valuable source of information about the development of forest and agricultural units in Plzen demesne during the monitored period. We can find lots of village and place names some of which have been used till now. And last but not least, these maps can be used as an interesting insight into the property and legal relations at that time.

Properly functioning recruitment for the position of the government official is important because there is no spontaneous market mechanism of the optimal personnel selection in a public sector. No mechanism was created in Poland that could limit the scope of development of bureaucracy, therefore the correct recruitment might at least partly fulfil this role. There is an urgent necessity of liberating the civil servant state from a personnel's political pressure, which could effect in increasing its content-related standard and social rank. The article includes a proposition of making the existing recruitment procedure more just and realistically applicable.

The poetic compound lexeme Marianska Garden is slowly becoming an accepted name for the area of the south-western Jicinsko region, which is an area, where unique fragments of the composed landscape have been preserved. There are no doubts that it is an important cultural inheritance of the region, however, the question is, what to do next. The territorial planning as a tool of sustainable development, based on a balanced relationship of conditions for a favourable environment, economic development and for cohesiveness of the area inhabitants' society should satisfy the needs of the current generation without being a threat to the living conditions of the future generations. Unfortunately, in practice we only rarely come across such regional planning which takes all aspects of this definition into account. Regional planning is more or less just the 'copying' of the previously given models that correspond with the set rules and laws but do not take into account the local conditions, character and connections to the past of the concerned area. Only the research and following analysis of the historical development can help with getting high-quality materials for the suggestions of the future shape of the area. That is why we have tried from a number of different points of view (landscape composition, old roads and development of the area administration structure) to outline in which way the region could further develop to assure that people would not perceive the poetic charm of the baroque compositions only such as a preserved museum exhibit, but to be able to experience it as a part of their everyday activities outdoors in the landscape. The result should be a suggestion showing the historical face of this locality, but not such a one that is distant and free from everyday life, but on the other hand, one which is being actively used. It is improbable that the original plan of all landscape compositions will be revealed, but it is possible to respect a large number of indications and under the current conditions and with the current possibilities try to put the final touches to the environment, which could again, in the true sense of the word, become the 'landscape alive'.

Environmental protection is an area of interdisciplinary, in which the rule is the use of science concepts relevant to the legal, natural, technical or chemical. Therefore, in practice they may have different meanings depending on the conceptual context in which they are used. The concept, which draws attention to the rights and duties of citizens, public administration or environmental organizations, the legal and administrative aspects of environmental protection. Legal and administrative aspects of the environment in a manner related to the inherent rights of citizens, duties of public administrations, as well as practice and custom of our country and the European Union. Thus, their analysis is certainly an interdisciplinary context, and an important environmental dimension, the effect will be implied in the form of application by analogy comparisons and examples of not only national but international.

The Early Modern Period in formation of the political and social order is marked by the formation, in the beginning of said epoch, of distinct institutions and offices for the purpose of ruling Silesia, pan-Silesian, estate and ducal in various jurisdictions in Silesia, said system – with changes introduced in the absolute reign after 1629 – survived until 1740. Factors which influenced the perception of being separate among the social and political elite of Silesia were the institutions forming for the purpose of administrating the country in the time when links with the Bohemian Crown were weakened, especially in the latter part of the 15th and beginnings of the 16th century. This influenced the formation of Silesian institutions as having a great deal of autonomy in regards to the rule of the king and other institutions of the monarchy. The distinctly Silesian social structure was also influential in forming the distinctiveness of Silesian institutions. Formation of regions was also influenced by the institutional and political structure of the monarchy, which was comprised of five countries, all of which had their own estate representation, and comprised nearly all, available in those times, aspects of governing the society. The Thirty Years’ War became the caesura of Silesian regionalism: the monarchy managed to marginalise the Silesian political regionalism, although reforms after 1629 maintained the administrational and institutional regional system of Silesia.

An analysis of crucial legal and systemic issues indicates that the most important aspect in forming the regional cohesion of Silesia was the “transformation” in the 13th century, including the reception of German law and the institution of self-governing municipality. The main factor determining the functionality of administrative and judicial structures was the furthering territorial fragmentation. In the 12th century the provincial comites, appointed by the principes, as well as the Bishops of Wrocław, performed the function of intermediaries between Silesia and the rest of the Monarchy. After 1163 the Silesian dukes concentrated on the particular needs of their forming territorial dominions, sometimes used also as power base for the realisation of state-wide political concepts. Hence the initiatives undertaken for the purpose of consolidating the duchies in the administrative and economic spheres, utilising innovative socio-systemic mechanisms, such as: establishment of new towns, castle construction as well as reforms of administration of both the Castellans and Weichbilds and promoting migration of foreign knights. Yet another breakthrough took place when the Silesian duchies fell under direct or feudal dominion of the Bohemian Crown. Seeing as the House of Luxembourg was not interested in the creation of centralised institutions and did not interfere in internal relations between the duchies the institutional differences deepened. Unification policies took shape only within individual duchies, with limitations of such policies and focus on short-term solutions being evident. Attempts to make the administrative structures uniform were rare, this is especially evident in context of incorporated areas. The rapid changes in the feudal fragmentation proved a hindrance to unification activities as well. Remaining within a singular church structure and one political organism was, however, a cohesive factor.

As a part of the public administration, local government represents one of the forms of decentralization. It is primarily based on constitutional principle of subsidiarity, autonomy in realizing its tasks and responsibility for their realization. The basic units of the territorial administrative division under the Polish legislation, municipalities and cities, have an important role to play here. These units have legal personality, judicially protected independence, and receive funds from public income which makes them independent from other government bodies and from the state. Nevertheless, cities are not sovereign in decision taking or law making processes and they merely carry out state enforced tasks. This structure strengthens the supervisory role of the central administration which is primarily focused on verification. The modern world enforces decentralization processes. The development of cities is based on active adaptation of innovations offered by information societies. At the beginning of the XXI century, municipal governments were indirectly forced to introduce new forms of public and local management. The fundamental dimension of these forms is embodied in a symbolic transition “from administration to management”.

This article aims to evaluate the fi rst decade of Poland’s membership in the European Union. The analysis covers three major aspects: modernisation of the economy, state administration, and shaping a democratic political system. The article attempts to show that the processes of EU integration resemble a ‘golden straitjacket’ – a garment that seems desirable and even resplendent, but turns out to be a constraint on freedom.

The research results presented in this paper indicate that non-governmental organisations functioning in the District of Olsztyn have clearly specified objectives and expectations as regards support for their imple¬mentation. Local NGOs are not interested in such kinds of support as training, expert advice, information or assis¬tance in the recruitment of staff. For them, more important is financial assistance and other aid needed in the process of raising money (for example, appropriate recommendations). They wish to co-operate with local authorities by jointly organising events sponsored or commissioned by the local government. Despite many problems experienced by non-governmental organisations which co-operate with local authorities, this co-operation has generally been assessed as satisfactory. NGOs that co-operate regularly with local authorities evaluated this collaboration better than those which co-operate only occasionally.

In democratic countries, opposition is defined in various ways, depending on the binding party system, the legal status of parties in the Parliament and the practice developed. But undoubtedly, without opposition, control over the government would be usually only formal. The article presents a selection of the most important tools that the lower chamber of the Polish Parliament (Sejm) has at its disposal to control the Council of Ministers and the government administration, which are mainly used by opposing parliamentary groupings and circles. The author also attempts to assess how the opposition in the previous Parliament fulfilled this task.

This study focuses on the application of the Leopold-Sonnenfels model of the Habspurg police administration in Brno, the capital of the Moravia-Silesia province at the beginning of the 1790s. The author presents the reasons why this reform remained in the forementioned province just a mere attempt and the preceding Joseph-Pergen model remained in practice during the whole period being observed.

The Statutory Rule XXXVII/1875, Commercial Act came into effect on January 1, 1876. In Slovakia, the other provisions of this Act, lost its force on 1 January 1955. A substantial part of the provisions of this Act was made void by the Civil Code in 1950, with effect from 1 January 1951. The Statutory Rule XXXVII / 1875 was based on Act no 1/1863 r.z., General Commercial Code. This article examines the economic and political circumstances of the adoption of this Act and compares the contents of the Statutory Rule XXXVII/1875 and Act no. 1/1863 r.z. This article pays attention to the circumstances that have resulted from changes in the constitutional arrangement after the Czechoslovak Republic was established (1918), as well as the Slovak Republic (1939), as well as restoration of the Czechoslovak Republic after the World War II, which mainly concerned capital companies.

The forms of the public administrative activity have an unsubstitutable signification. This phenomenon represents expressive dynamic conception of the public administration. Basic elements of the public administrative activity are: target – task – function – contents – methods of action -forms of the activities. Definition of contents of the public administrative activity is complicated. Also a classification of the forms of the public administrative activities is very difficult. The fact that an administrative act could have (could not have) legal implication is the essential base of this division. The article deals also with particular forms of the public administrative activities: normative administrative legislative acts (generally binding acts), application of the administrative legislative acts (individual administrative acts), administrative legal agreement (contract), other significant legislative acts, socio-organizational acts and material-technical acts and their sub-forms. In connection with this the article is motivated by the inspiring examples from Czech legal system, German legal system and Recommendations of the Council of Europe. It is necessary to pay attention to e-government and the conception of good governance.

(Title in Slovak - 'Zasobovanie obyvatelstva ako administrativny, ekonomicky, socialny a politicky problem Uradu ministra s plnou mocou pre spravu Slovenska po vzniku Ceskoslovenskej republiky'). The subject of the study is public supply in the first years after formation of the Czechoslovak Republic directed by the government, organized by the ministries and performed by an extensive network of persons. The authoress clarifies the problems of supply in Slovakia, which had to be solved by the Minister Office with Full Power for Administration of Slovakia, during the complex process of the incorporation of the country into the new state. She emphasizes the importance of this activity, which secured the basic necessities of life for the population, energy and raw materials for the production sphere and for the functioning of domestic and foreign trade. It had significant influence on social tension and its possible political results.

The study analyses and compares the validity of computerized adaptive testing, paper and pencil and computer-based forms of cognitive abilities tests. The research was conducted on a sample of 803 secondary school students (567 paper and pencil, 236 computer-based/computerized adaptive administration; 363 males, 440 females), their mean age was 16.8 years (SD = 1.33). The test set consisted of the Test of Intellect Potential and the Vienna Matrices Test. Overall results showed that the validity of CAT was reasonably comparable across administration modes. Consistent with previous research, CAT selecting only a small number of items gave results which, in terms of validity, were only marginally different from the results of traditional administration. CAT simulated administration of the TIP was roughly 55% and VMT 54% more economical than the traditional version. These results indicate that CAT is a useful way of improving methodology of psychological testing.

Until the beginning of the 16th century the viniculture of the Small Carpathian region recorded an increasing tendency and an all-round development in various aspects. In this period of a relatively calm development of viniculture and wine market, new institutions and legal rules came to existence, which fundamentally influenced the expansion of viniculture in the following centuries. In the submitted work we attempt to clarify the organization and administration of viniculture in the town of Saint George in the middle of the 17th century when the viniculture and wine market of the town was at its peak. The basic principles of the organization and administration of viniculture in the town of Saint George have been recorded in the vineyard regulation. The oldest preserved vineyard regulation of Saint George dates back to 1650. We attempted to clarify its origin, purpose and point out the content of particular paragraphs which we consider as the legal rules of the so-called vineyard law. The vineyard law was institutionally represented by the Saint George´s vineyard bureau. It was a council with certain characteristics of autonomy. However, according to our findings, there has never developed a completely independent council in Saint George. The development of organization and administration of viniculture in the town of Saint George was naturally connected with the expansion of the town´s city council which we will also briefly mention to help understand the issue better. The normative community in the town of Saint George were the townsmen or more precisely the city council governed by a port reeve and an alderman. The townsmen tried to protect their vineyards, to ensure the highest possible economic yield and moreover to legalize organizational, administrative, economical, but also neighbourhood and social relations related to viniculture and vineyards in their town and vineyard community.

The study is concerned with the social and legal group in the Kingdom of Hungary called “hospites” (guests), who formed a basic element in the emerging towns such as the one below Bratislava Castle. Using the written sources from the 13th century concerning Hungary and especially Bratislava, it presents the concepts of legal customs and privileges, which formed the main source of town law. The administrative and judicial position of the inhabitants of the complex below Bratislava Castle in the 13th century is considered. Attention is also devoted to the problem of municipal autonomy and the question of its position under the jurisdiction of the Sheriff of Bratislava before 1291.

The extension of totalitarian and authoritarian regimes in the first half of the twentieth century, which hit most European states, required political interferences within the highest legislative and executive authorities of states as well as in local administrations and bodies of self-government. Legislative interventions resulted in the formation of new local political elites whose representatives, mostly recruited by the criterion of political reliability, held the defining positions and played the significant role in implementing anti-Jewish policy during the Holocaust era. The main aim of this contribution is the analysis of the mechanisms of legislative interventions into the creation of new local political elites in selected examples of Nazi-occupied countries (General Government, Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia) and allied regimes (Slovak State and Hungary).

The article tries to characterize briefly the phenomenon of corruption in social and moral aspects. In the first place, the phenomenon of contemporary corruption is to be shown including corruption’s determinants and forms. Secondly, consequences and assessment of the phenomenon are to be included. Finally, some of the ways of counteracting the phenomenon are to be indicated with a special emphasis on the duties of Administrative Control Authority. On the basis of conducted analyses and reflections it can be stated that it is a man who is responsible for any corrupt behavior since it is the man who is a culprit – a subject as well as a receiver – an object of any moral acts. Thus, a challenge for eliminating corruption in all its forms equals an effort to improve a man himself. It is the challenge to all of us but with a special concern for people doing their duties among whom those closely connected with administration have special commitments. From a negative side, this requirement eliminates or limits people who are disqualified because of their moral behavior the access to decision making.
