The article focuses on public-social partnership and the role of social economy in Polish government policy after 2001. The main thesis states that the appearance of some new institutions as well as legislative regulations are the subject of a significant ideological dispute concerning political-system solutions. On one hand, there is a tendency to regard social economy institutions as one of the instruments to develop enterpreneuership among people threatened with social exclusion. On the other hand, institutions of social economy play significant role in building civic society based on economic relations, as well as in the provision of social services. The article presents the major state's policy, legislative and financial directions from 2001 to 2005 in the field of social economy. It points out the possible and eligible directions of public authorities' further actions leading to social economy development.

The paper draws attention to the new socio-spatial differentiation emerging in the Czech Republic and discusses its relation to certain aspects of people’s quality of life in cities, towns and villages. At the same time the paper points out the significance of empirical research focused on territorial disparities at microregional level and it proposes feasible approaches to measure and to evaluate microscale socio-spatial differentiation. Finally, the objective is to emphasize the necessity to reflect research results in political practice – in introducing explicit regional dimension into public policies and development strategies of cites and municipalities.

Autonomy of the will is the essential concept of private law. Autonomy of the will means the possibility for each legal person to organise its legal relations according to its own free will. It is a part of the general principle of self-determination and it is specified mostly by norms of private law. Traditionally, autonomy of the will is most strongly exercised in the law of obligations. Nevertheless, autonomy of the will is never exercised without any restriction. Limitations on autonomy of the will result not only from the need to protect the others, but also from the protection of public interests. In any case, it is essentially undeniable in legal orders of free democratic states.

In the first chapter, the study provides a brief summary of trends in basic demographic processes in Slovakia in the last fifteen post-revolutionary years. A separate part of the text addresses regional heterogeneity and draws our attention to several extreme differences according to chosen indicators. The study also offers the most recent data on population, family, and household structure. It points out the possible consequences of ongoing changes while focusing on aging processes and gender issues. The paper is based on various data which are presented in graphs and charts. In another part, an analysis of increasing social differences between families and households is included. Significant changes in the development and structure of the population have an impact on many social and economical spheres of society. They influence not only the systems of health care and social welfare, but also the labour market structure, education system, and housing policy. In the conclusion, the authoress attempts to clarify the public debate about these issues and to formulate challenges for Slovak public policy.

This article sums up the development of public policy as a scientific discipline and as an object of research and instruction in the Czech Republic. This is presented within a historical context (examining different stages of the development of Czech social sciences even before it was formalized, and the development of its being constituted since the early 1990s) with due regard for the broader cultural, political and institutional context of its formation and application. A characteristic is given of the main streams of research and instruction in the field (with references to key literature, its authors and context). This is followed by a reflection of results and specification of development potentials.

Agricultural policy and the rural development policy belong to the most expensive and most controversial elements of functioning of the EU member states. A large portion of controversies and misunderstandings results from imperfections of the public discourse on matters of villages and agriculture. The role of agriculture and rural areas in the functioning of modern societies is changing and the group of stakeholders of these areas' development is now in principle covering the entire society. In post-socialist countries no institutions were formed and no forms of social discourse evolved to discuss the desirable lines of rural and agriculture development and the forms of public support for such development. The most important attempt at institutionalization of such discourse was made in l999 in Poland by elaboration of a document entitled 'The Pact for Agriculture and Rural Areas'. The idea of the pact, the process of work on it and the causes of failure are described in this paper. After Poland's joining the European Union a major part of problems tackled by the discourse on rural development in Poland will be linked with analogous discourse, but this time at the level of the entire Union.

The covid-19 pandemic has led to government action of a scope unprecedented in peacetime, including in the area of public management, administration, and public policy-making. Government approaches in the covid-19 times have thus become a relevant research issue. However, despite the extensive attention already paid to the concept of transparency in the global public and political discourse as well as academic research, we lack a clear framework for measuring the transparency of processes through which public policies, including laws and regulations, are adopted. This paper aims to remedy that, and two innovations are presented. The first one brings together various benefits of the transparency of public administration and public policy processes into a single framework, while the second one presents a conceptual toolbox for measuring the transparency of public policy. The paper illustrates use of the framework through an illustrative example of the passage of the COVID-19 legislation in Slovakia at the beginning of the pandemic, demonstrating that the overall transparency of the policy process in this case was extremely low.

The museum as a cultural institution was created as a part of the nation-state, according to nationalism ideology, and for the transmission of the historical heritage of a particular society and culture. It resulted in organisational assumptions as rules of practices and style of operations or management. The transformation of public management in cultural institutions, such as museums, is a part of model of the “big” transformation based on the neoliberal turnaround in thinking and acting in the late twentieth century. The paper constitutes an analysis of the mechanisms of contemporary public policies of cultural institutions. It examines the role of the museum at the market-oriented levels of analysis as production, exchange and consumption. This study is based on the desk research analysis and argues that a new identity of the museum has appeared that is still shifting towards a new direction created by the SARS-COVID-19 pandemic.

CONCEPTUALIZING LOW-SKILL: A NEW APPROACH

This study reviews conceptual and empirical literature studying low-skilled and proposes more comprehensive and dynamic conceptualization of low-skill. Our work is based on analysing the sources of being and of becoming low-skilled by reviewing structural processes underlying changes in labour markets and their varied impact on the individuals of the different characteristics. We suggest a broader conceptualization of low-skill which surpasses the dominant qualification-based approach and measurement of low-skill by the attained level of education. In addition to the typically included low-educated, our typology includes categories of workers who might be formally well-educated, experienced and trained but have been drawn into low-skill as an outcome of structural forces or institutional barriers. A broader conceptualization and measurement of low-skill can better reveal the variety of its causes and in turn allow designing better suited policies for the economic and social integration.

This article puts forward the concept of street-level bureaucrats and their role in public policy in its full complexity. In the first two parts the authors define street-level bureaucrats and the roots of the basic ideologies that determine their behaviour (principles of bureaucracy, professionalism, bureau-professionalism and managerialism). They draw on previous analytical studies they conducted on this theme and present the latest empirical findings on the behavior of street-level bureaucrats who work with unemployed people. In this way they try to demonstrate the importance of principles of bureaucracy, professionalism, and bureau-professionalism in contemporary public policy.

The authors use the 2004 income survey of the Central Statistical Office to consider targeting of two types of unemployment-related benefit: (a) unemployment insurance and retraining benefits (UBs), and (b) unemployment assistance (UA). The evidence suggests that UBs are relatively well-targeted in the sense that most of the income support goes to persons at the bottom of the income ladder, although those in deep poverty benefit less. Income-redistribution exercises performed show that removing UBs would be detrimental to the position of persons at the bottom of the income scale, resulting in a higher poverty rate, while that redistributing them in favour of members of the original bottom or two bottom income deciles would better their income position and reduce the poverty rate. The authors also looked at whether persons eligible for UA (the main means-tested benefit in Hungary) were actually benefiting from it, and whether local labour-market conditions influenced the probability of receiving UA. It was found that persons meeting the eligibility criteria (personal and household income levels) have better chances of receiving UA, while local rates of unemployment also have a positive effect on such chances.

The contemporary socioeconomic upheavals push societies to make a new link between the local situations and the global situations without crossing by the stage formerly necessary of the national. There are two spatial dimensions that we find perfectly in the border zones at the same time limit space in the world of States but opening space in the globalized system. Africa is a continent where the border spaces play this economic and social role more than politics. Can the socioeconomic activity carry politics? The recomposition of the cross-border public action essentially in the field of the town and country planning could be the federative element missing to the cross-border territorialization, and, more, the transformation of the State.
