Contracting out is the prevalent types of alternative service-delivery arrangements in public sector. The literature suggests that if the contracting is properly implemented, then it will improve cost-effectiveness, delivery quality, and expenditure control. Using new Slovak data, we explain why contracting does not always produce the expected positive results. We seek to determine the factors that account for success in contracting for public sector services, by testing for a link between contracting performance and quality of contract management. This study uses a quantitative approach to analyse our original survey data. The findings are not positive, because although competitive selection is the key factor determining success, non-competitive selection of suppliers prevails in Slovakia.

The study deals with an issue that has not yet been processed, which is the concept of operational reconnaissance in the period from the end of the 1950s to the turn of the 1970s and 1980s of the last century. It points to the fundamental relations and consequences of the most serious cases of "detections - betrayals" by members of the Czechoslovak Military Intelligence. These cases significantly affected the build-up of intelligence networks in areas of interest as well as the overall activity of intelligence assets - agents, collaborators, and informants. The Command of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Czechoslovak People’s Army (ČSĽA) had to react to every such case and decided to develop new concepts of operations of intelligence reconnaissance. All cases of “detections - betrayals” had specific consequences and often significantly limited the activity of military intelligence in some areas of interest.

The article maps in a synecdochical manner the poetic journey made by Ján Ondruš (1932 – 2000) from the elementary lyric situation and mood – The Sonnet to the constellation of dream, natural elements or cycles and poetic imagination – A Drop of Dream to the vivisections, textual-physical exercises typical of the author – From Hospital. The main focus is on analytical reading of the text From Hospital (collection Šialený mesiac /The Mad Moon, 1965): the genre, the semantics of the names and motifs, the constitutive duality of „agent“ and „patient“. The article also maps how the debutant poet´s initial lyric melancholy transforms and becomes more problematic: from the discreetly present traditional iconography to the poetics of corporeality in the sense of „patient“.

This paper has two objectives: (1) to propose an approach to corruption risk assessment with the FMEA (Fault Mode and Effect Analysis) method and verify it on a case study (taking decisions on monument protection in the Czech Republic), and (2) to find out whether higher salary expenditures per civil servant reduce corruption risk. The paper works with the principal-agent theory and the NPM (New Public Management) concept. Results of the research point out that an increase in staff expenditures does not automatically reduce corruption. What needs to go side by side is also higher quality of institutions themselves. Correlation between resistance against corruption and higher salary has not been proven.

The conceptual basis of the paper is the difference between two types of responsibility: (a) the agent's responsibility for his own acts and their effects; (b) a responsibility which is primarily oriented to the Other, about whom one is concerned and for whom one guarantees. The paper deals with this second meaning of responsibility: an imputation of a deed to somebody as its agent. The authoress explores the origins of the modern concept of imputation, its specific character and effectiveness, as well as its limitations. She focuses on three approaches: those of M. Weber, A. Giuliani and P. Ricoeur. Weber's responsibility means a causal imputation. But it was not Weber, who introduced this way of defining the act's ethical value. Giuliani shows, how the theological concept of imputation is related to its later laicization in the theory of natural law. Ricoeur argues that the real history of responsibility began after responsibility has been separated from the theological context. In conclusion it is showed, that although responsibility rooted in one's realizing the vulnerability of the Other differs from the responsibility of the agent for his own deeds, these are neither historically, nor theoretically two independent realms.
