The purpose of the paper is to show the need to extend the framework and the subject of research in the contemporary developmental psychology. Some fundamental issues related to the problem of the nature and mechanisms of human development are discussed. In its context the General Model of Development is postulated. There is assumed that comprehension of human development requires: (a) description and explanation of all kinds of developmental changes, both short- and long-term, progressive and regressive; (b) to take into account other kinds of time then chronological (age of life) as a markers of developmental changes (i.e. biological, social, psychological age); (c) to overcome the limitations of conventional interactionism dominated in considerations about the genesis of psychic manifestations in different aspects of life.

The article presents both the history of the Wrocław Popular University and the teaching methods used there. The Wrocław Popular University was founded in 1919 by a group of people, among whom some professors of philosophy could be found. The curriculum was, first of all, worker- and handworker-directed, and also the unemployed were offered some courses during The Great Depression. After the National Socialists assumed power in Germany, the Wrocław Popular University rearranged its role and, probably in 1933, it ceased to exist. The educational goal of the Wrocław Popular University was human development in many areas of life. It was carried out in the so-called working communities, in which the teachers and their students worked together; also, the students reached knowledge and discovered their own vocation there – and these were the most important methods of teaching based on the Socratic maieutics.

In May 2004, Slovakia became the member state of the European Union. Through this step the country officially entered a broader geo-political and socio-economic context. However, the EU, in spite of its principal importance for the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, is not the only transnational structure that has been influencing the direction of development of the Slovak society and definitions of its political and economic priorities. This article looks at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) from the perspective of its role in defining the concept of human development in the new millennium and briefly discusses the activities of UNDP in the countries of the former Soviet block as these have unfolded over the past decade. The article suggests that the activities, roles and impact of development aid in general and UNDP in particular in the former communist countries merit a closer attention of ethnology due to their relevance for setting developmental priorities and influencing the nature of social change in the region.

This paper deals with the potential connections of decentralization with economic imbalances in the European countries. Two indicators have been chosen for measuring economic imbalances: an indicator dispersion of regional GDP per capita as a representative of the performance imbalances within countries (it measures the economic development gap among regions in European countries) and a multidimensional inequality-adjusted human development index as a representative of inequalities in the distribution of wealth in the countries. According to this analysis quite weak links were proved between the tested variables. Decentralization does not belong among the strong factors influencing economic imbalances. Despite this weak link it is still possible to conclude that decentralization is more connected with differences in economic performance than with differences in distribution.
