This article discusses the impact of the crisis on the processes of European integration. From this broad perspective, certain general and detailed problems have been selected for analysis, including the ‘operational code’ of European integration that was developed at the point in time when political decisions were taken to initiate the integration processes. The European Union’s operational code is based on pur¬suing the policy of fait accompli and giving priority to integration in the policies of the member states, regardless of the area of integration and the values concerned. Even the principles of democracy have been subordinated to this priority. In the light of the fact that public voting has been bypassed on issues related to integration, including economic ones, the legitimacy and effectiveness of these decisions have been called into question. The entire discussion is burdened by the lack of any funda¬mental consensus about what the political outcome of the integration should be, nor to what extent the crisis, in its various aspects (economic, political, social and dem¬ocratic), may change the European Union.

The process of European integration has not been finalised by a so-called finalité politique i.e. a supranational entity, probably in form of a federation. This entity, expected to play an independent and crucial role in the global arena, is still not created yet. At the same time, the crisis on global markets in 2008 and its aftermath has created many new and unprecedented challenges. Crisis as such is nothing new in the history of European integration, in fact it has been stated that real progress went ‘from crisis to crisis’ (J.Delors). This means that only new challenges push forward the whole machin¬ery. The situation after 2008 is different however, as at this moment the European Union is challenged by a multilayer crisis. Namely, the EU currently has problems with: 1) Leadership and strategic vision; 2) Economic crisis in the Eurozone, together with overwhelming domestic debts in the so-called PIGS countries, mainly of the Mediter¬ranean region; 3) Institutions (the ‘democratic deficit’), and even 4) Axiology, i.e. a common system of values, which are being frequently and openly challenged in many Member States by various political forces. Thus the EU today, in the middle of the sec¬ond decade of the twenty-first century, is staying just in front of the threshold, or rather a fault-line, and faces a cardinal dilemma: how to deepen integration, including the cru¬cial CFSP, amongst a growing tide of renationalisation? One thing seems to be obvious, however. The longer will be the crisis (multi-layered!), the greater will be the opportu¬nities for anti-integration forces and processes. Only strong leadership with a reformist agenda can bring us out of this Catch-22 situation. Without courage and vision, the EU may be doomed to become an ‘economic giant and political pygmy’ again. Is that the status we wish as we face the challenges from the so-called emerging markets and in an era when a new balance of (economic) power is also emerging after 2008?

As of late 2014, the eurozone still has yet to forge a path of sustained recovery, which means dismal conditions for many European citizens, especially in the periphery. Optimum Currency Area theory can be used to analyse single currency areas, yet not operational due to conceptual confusion. In this paper, a new conceptual paradigm that makes currency area theory useful to decision-makers is proposed. This paradigm relies on two prongs: on one side, a study of the deviations from an ideal currency area, and on the other, the stabilisation mechanism cocktails. Stabilisation mechanisms and their impact on different macroeconomic shocks are then presented in a table. The framework found in this article will be useful for conducting a constructive dialogue between eurozone members on the future of the currency union.

Economic and fi nancial crisis made the European Union take countermeasures, devoted first of all to the euro area countries. However the problem has turned out to be more complex, since the Treaties on which the European Union is based, have not provided for provisions that would allow the Union to undertake common actions in a situation of deep crisis. Initially, the institution of international agreements was used, followed by common actions that are not limited to the euro area countries but remain open to countries from outside the euro area. Undertaken measures generate changes that have infl uence on both the institutional balance and the shaping of a new institutional architecture. New institutional solutions such as a banking union or a fi scal union, make up elements of the new economic governance in Europe. It must be said that many anti-crisis measures breach the hitherto logic of the European Union governance, since they allow for permeation of different instruments, forms and legal regimes. The European Union is becoming more and more heterogeneous and its diversifi cation, which denies the so far far-reaching unification,creates nonetheless better conditions for adaptation and contributes to greater effectiveness of measures taken especially in diffi cult situations, to which, no doubt, the recent fi nancial crisis belongs.

The global crisis in the financial and banking markets caused more than just financial and economic problems for the European Union. The Eurozone sovereign debt crisis also revealed the institutional weaknesses of the EU. The ineffectiveness of the proposed solutions intensifield the political crisis of democratic legitymacy, as well as bringing about a serious social crisis. As a result the political and economic model of the European Union is being questioned. How it will end remains unknown. In examining the situation, we need to take into account both pessimistic as well as optimistic scenarios, thus for possible variants are analysed and presented below.

Both the Treaty of Lisbon and the global economic crisis have had a sig¬nificant impact on the European Parliament (EP) – the only directly-elected institu¬tion of the European Union (EU). However, the oft-asserted broadening of the EP’s powers under the Lisbon Treaty needs to be critically examined. An analysis of the EU budget adoption procedure might lead to a conclusion that these powers have actually been limited. Examples of policies like cohesion show, in turn, that even where the European Parliament has acquired greater legislative influence, this rests mainly on its ability to delete or dilute provisions already present in the European Commission proposal. Moreover, new formulations on key issues proposed by the EP are usually already known to form part of the Council position. Further research and possible future evolution notwithstanding, in these times of crisis – when the voice of the people, whom the European Parliament represents, is in a particular need to be heard – the EP may still best be described as a ‘negative legislator’.

Viktor E. Frankl – psychiatrist, neurologist, philosopher – in analyzing the situation of contemporary man, observes that he has largely lost contact with the spiritual sphere, that which is the most human in him. This state is compounded by the prevailing situation in science which places primacy on reductionisms that grasp man unilaterally. Man, according to Frankl, is not homo sapiens, zoon politikon or homo faber, but rather homo patiens, because this skill of suffering distinguishes him from the natural world. To suffer means to take a certain attitude towards that which is difficult and inevitable. When he embraces a proper attitude towards inevitable suffering, making it sensible, man realizes his own existence and contributes to the development of other people.

Spurred by the recent global economic crisis, there has been a resurgence of research on output gaps. As the crisis caused a decline in potential GDP due to a strong contraction in demand, it is expected that the recovery of potential output will be especially difficult in demand-driven small open economies, such as the Western Balkan countries, where recovery will strongly depend on global international trade recovery. The purpose of this research is to calculate and compare pre and post-crisis potential GDPs and GDP gaps for the Western Balkan countries. The symmetric filter method developed by Hodrick and Prescott is used to de-trend GDP time series data by decomposing it into growth and cyclical components. The results point to a strong decrease in potential output growth compared to the pre-crisis potential output growth of the Western Balkans.

The theory of aesthetic education treats art as an educational space. It is interesting to look at theories of the end of art from a pedagogical perspective. The article presents a few selected items, symptoms of the collapse of art, which have appeared in theories of a crisis of art. Are they relevant to the theory of aesthetic education? Is education “for” and “through” art justified in the face of the end of art? In this article the author presents catastrophic visions of art from the pedagogical perspective.

This article aims to present the issue of acedia as a spiritual crisis that can lead to spiritual death, or become a path of growth and transformation towards a more conscious living of one's life. The problem of acedia was the first to be studied by the Desert Father Evagrius Ponticus, who today is considered its greatest theorist and became an inspiration for later authors. Today, many works are being written on the subject, in which acedia is discussed both from the side of psychology and Christian austerity. The article examines the complex issue of acedia, its sources, symptoms and remedies to help combat it. This topic is particularly important in these days so marked by sadness and depression, so it is all the more necessary to study this issue in order to bring help to suffering people.

W artykule omówiono znaczenie kapitału relacyjnego i jego wpływ na ewentualne pojawienie się zjawisk kryzysowych w organizacji. Jego celem jest zraportowanie eksperckich opinii nt. istoty kapitału relacyjnego przedsiębiorstwa oraz jego potencjalnego kryzysogennego oddziaływania na firmę. Istotnym wnioskiem nasuwającym się po pierwszej części badań jest fakt, iż kapitał relacyjny jest postrzegany głównie przez pryzmat kapitału wewnętrznego oraz kapitału zewnętrznego pojmowanego przez pryzmat relacji w łańcuchu dostaw. W tym przypadku najważniejsze wydają się relacje przedsiębiorstwa z jego klientami oraz dostawcami. Dość istotną grupę stanowią również relacje z bankami i innymi instytucjami finansowymi.

The article discusses the importance of relational capital and its impact on the possible emergence of crisis phenomena in the organization. Its purpose is to report expert opinions on the essence of the company’s relational capital and its potential crisis- -generating impact on the company. An important conclusion following the first part of the research is the fact that relational capital is perceived mainly through the prism of internal and external capital, perceived through the prism of relations in the supply chain. In this case, the company’s relations with its customers and suppliers seem to be the most important.

This paper discusses the unique phenomenon of what role the political debate about Islam, the construction of the temporary border barrier protecting the Hungarian national borders and altering the Hungarian Constitution played in the competitive communication of the national-radical Jobbik party and the centre-right governing parties Fidesz-KDNP which typically emphasise their Christian character. Furthermore this essay follows up the elements of political campaign related to the referendum on relocation quota between the end of 2014 and November 2016.

The paper presents chosen scientific theories regarding the adaptation of parents of children with disabilities to critical situations. Most of the evoked theories originate from the ABCX Model, invented by Reuben Hill in 1949. One of the paper's conclusions is that there is no universal theory which fully explains process of parents' adaptation to the situation in which they have to face with disability of their child. Moreover in future research there should be a focus on variables which mediate and moderate the association between child's disability and parents' adjustment and adaptation to crisis.

The financial crisis from 2008 and the following Eurozone crisis from 2012 created an incentive to establish a system of financial supervision at the European Union (“EU”) level, due to the fact that the policy tool commonly used turned out to be ineffective. With regards to banking supervision, the package of legislations: “CRR/CRD” and “BRRD” has been adopted as a response to financial system shortcomings, in order to make it more resilient and harmonised. One of the challenges was to take control of the so-called: “too big to fail” financial institutions, therefore next to macroprudential supervision, microprudential policy pools were introduced. This constituted the phenomena of the shift from regulationbased supervision to risk-based supervision with the aim of reducing the systemic risk in each and every EU Member State and, in turn, prevent possible future crises. In this paper, those methods will be gathered, presented, and discussed in the light of the current COVID-19 pandemic crisis.

International labour migration is a global process that has affected the populations of all countries and continents. Today, migrants face a new additional barrier - the COVID-19 pandemic, which has drastically affected all forms of human mobility. Today, labour-based migration from Ukraine is directed mainly to EU Member States. The main motives for international labour migration is the potential of earning money, financial security of the family etc. Accordingly, the consequence of international migration is the inflow of money into the country of migrant origin. Remittances from migrant workers are an important source of income for Ukraine. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in migrant remittances, contributing to the development of households, human potential, the reduction of poverty and inequality, and the inflow of foreign currency. This article proposes an econometric model of the impact of migrant remittances on the stabilisation of the country's economy during the pandemic. As a result of the calculations, it was found that the income from people working abroad initially reduces the deviation of GDP from the equilibrium trend, but over time there is a clear procyclical impact. This feature is favourable for the Ukrainian economy and may mean that migrant transfers in times of crisis help to overcome the effects of global economic downturns.

Since the beginning of the war in Syria, massive numbers of Syrian citizens have fled their homeland to escape death and secure a better life for themselves and their children overseas. The Syrian refugees have sought asylum in many countries, although Europe was their main destination. These vulnerable families crossed rivers, mountains and plains and faced every danger imaginable to reach Europe; many died along the way. Heading toward the unknown, the refugees had little to no expectation of what they were going to face where they were heading. But for them, going back is not an option. On the other side of the equation, the European countries were also under substantial pressures to receive and deal with the refugees. The European countries’ reaction and response to the refugee movement varied significantly, with some countries, such as Germany, welcoming and receiving large numbers of Syrian refugees, and others, such as France, the Czech Republic and the UK, being more reluctant to openly welcome them. In this article, the European states’ approach to dealing with the Syrian refugee crisis and the challenges they currently face will be discussed and explained in light of the events on the ground. This article deals with the issue of the relationship between the Syrian refugees and the European countries in terms of the efforts that Europe has made to help these refugees, as well as the impact that the refugees have had or will have on various aspects of life in Europe.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has implemented legitimate fears of a global crisis and further and inevitably aggravating existing food-security challenges. The international community is being called upon to take targeted action to address the rapidly-evolving, resultant scenarios, making it essential to go beyond immediate interim measures and to re-examine the agricultural and energy policies that underpin our global economy. This article, without any claim to exhaustiveness, examines the inevitable link between war and the dynamics related to food security. In the first instance, a theoretical-interpretative key of the logics of violent conflicts that generate a relevant impact on global food supplies and food (in)security is provided, within the broader framework of the dynamics related to the instability of international relations which hinder the supply of energy resources and determine the volatility of general price levels. In the concluding section, there is reflection crossed reference to the ongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict as well as the devastating consequences on global food systems, already put under stress by the COVID-19 pandemic.
