Interests operating in the public sector continues to be characterized inefficiency and lack of objective methods of assessing the financial and non-financial aspects of the operation. The purpose of this paper is to present the concept of calculating the net cost of universal service as an effective instrument that can successfully mitigate adverse effects of government intervention and self-functioning public service provider. The effect of the use of the concept of net cost of universal service is to force the raising and maintaining the efficiency of operators in the public sphere, or the possibility of public services by private entities subject to the required quality and efficiency. This article is authored by the recognition of the concept of net cost of universal service, which is the result of research and analysis of recent publications and international experience of several countries in the world, which attempted (with varying degrees of success) the implementation of this concept on a practical ground.

Performance measurement in public organisations became widespread after the introduction of New Public Management, with its focus on the effects of public activities. Managing by results started to be used by many countries’ local government units, which began – either on their own initiative or within the framework of national systems – to define, measure and compare the efficiency of public services. European and American experiences as regards measuring the results of their activity, including the quality of public services, are plentiful and varied. This paper presents the nature of performance measurement systems at the local level functioning in a few selected European and American countries (Great Britain, France, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Germany, U.S. and Canada). The purpose of the paper is to identify the Polish experience in measuring local government performance against the background of foreign concepts.

The article presents an overview of theoretical knowledge on cross-border public services, which represent a specific form of public services dealing with shared issues or development potentials of cross-border regions. In addition to the terminological definition and operationalization of cross-border public services, the article reviews obstacles to their implementation, as well as the good practice examples. Based on the ESPON analysis, it concludes with practical recommendations for regional, national and supranational stakeholders who are capable to facilitate the development of cross-border public services.

The reforms driven by New Public Management (NPM) led to the introduction of management principles in local governments, marketisation and outsourcing. They made the greatest impact in the United Kingdom, but were also put in place in other European countries such as Ireland, Sweden, Germany, and – to the least degree – in France (compared to other countries discussed in this paper). There is a risk that NPM-inspired reforms may come to lose sight of the underlying social purpose of public services. NPM has not however become a new, universal model for public sector management. Issues tackled in the debate concerning the reform of public services have moved (mostly in the UK) beyond the concerns of NPM towards the emerging concept of networked community governance.

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.

The paper analyzes the concept of joint delivery of public services by the public and private sector within the frameworks of the Public-Private Partnership model (PPP). The key of the partnership (according to the Act in effect) is long-term involvement and collaboration (based on a contract) between a public entity and a private entity for implementation of capital-intensive investment projects. The analyses conducted show that thanks to the specific division of tasks, responsibility and risk, the PPP formula allows more economically effective development of transport infrastructure and supply of public services. The paper shows the influence of PPP on development of municipal infrastructure and supply of public services describing also the major barriers to and benefits from implementation of that formula.
