The article presents the results of research launched to define the effects that some of the essential changes in the system of direct payments, proposed by the European Commission, may have for the economic situation of the agricultural sector and for individual groups of farms after 2013. The conducted research has made it possible to establish that the necessity to exclude part of the farmland from cultivation and to destine it for ecological purposes will be that element of the planned changes that is going to produce the most serious effects. The influence of this instrument will be relatively weak in relation to the agricultural sector as a whole but it may contribute to a fall in incomes predicted in accordance with a simulation of their level for 2013, especially in the case of intensive and economically largest farms. The duty to exclude a part of the land from production to be imposed on all farms larger than 3 ha will also contribute to a reduction in the production potential and to the upsetting of spatial order, without producing any major pro-environmental effect. Another of the analyzed elements of reform – capping, which consists in the limitation of payments to the largest farms, will not, however, cause – with the exception of a few very large farms, any serious worsening in the economic situation of these entities owing to the possibility of deducting the cost of labor.

The paper deals with the public activities of the representative of the liberal political leanings, Ján Mallý Dusarov (1829 – 1902), who actively influenced the shaping of political thought in Slovakia in the 1850s to 1870s. The author presents herein four examples of Molly’s working method, which she identified as a type of the „possible“. This type of policy in the current political discourse known as the "Weberian“ phrase of politics as profession. In his public activities, J. Mallý employed an idea that the good of the people should be taken care of not only spiritually, but also through political activities. This activity should not be an exercise of power over them, but the ability to regulate their political views, and thus their actions as well. His political legacy is in many respects topical for today‘s public officials. Since he was dealing with issues of political compromise, the following recognition of him deserves our attention: a certain degree of pragmatism, flexibility and willingness to compromise in is a must real politics, otherwise even partial objectives will not be reached.

The reform of the French Constitution of 23 July 2008 imposed an additional duty on the Cour des comptes: to assist the Parliament and the Government in evaluating the effectiveness of public policy in various areas. Having been ordered by the authorised bodies, the Cour des comptes is obliged to elaborate an evaluation and submit a report on this evaluation within twelve months at the latest. In 2011, the French Cour des comptes received two orders, and additionally it conducted three evaluations on its own initiative. They were related to the functioning of medical services at schools, curbing homelessness, support of the state for life insurance policies, state aid in the field of biofuels, and the relations between the tax administration and taxpayers. In his article, the author presents the results of these evaluations, and discusses the nature of an evaluation as such.

We know more about than about any other follower of Jesus in the 1st century. Nevertheless, the apostle remains somewhat of a mystery. The present article identifies the main points of his life and missionary work and pre¬sents a relation between his gospel message and the good news of the Kingdom of God proclaimed by Jesus. The article then attempts to answer the question, how much justified is the thesis about a reform Paul instituted in the sphere of theology and life of Christian communities in the 1st century.

Robinson, as put in contrast with V. I. Lenin’s theory of international imperialism. The presented analysis of their similarities and differences raises some fundamental questions about how to transform the existing social order. One of its key aspects in our view is the strategy of social change.

The study analyses the proposal to federalize the Monarchy contained in the work The United States of Greater Austria (1906). Its author Aurel C. Popovici (1863 – 1917) was a political representative of the Transylvanian Rumanians in the Kingdom of Hungary. His work appeared in a period of crisis of the monarchy and represented a proposal for its solution by means of constitutional reform. Popovici proposed the formation of 15 federal states headed by the Emperor with the central government in Vienna. This proposal is analysed in the study in the wider context of the political situation in the Habsburg Monarchy. As a comparative framework for the interpretation of Popovici’s ideas, the study also analyses the thinking of the Austro-Marxists, specifically K. Renner and O. Bauer. They were working on projects to reform the Monarchy at the same time as Aurel C. Popovici.

In the 16th century, there were many confessional and social changes, due to which the position of the Catholic Church seemed to have been shaken and lost many believers and priests. Being faced with the pressure of the spreading Protestant Reformation, Roman Catholicism was itself forced to agree to deeper reforms in its own ranks. This pressure led to attempts at reforming its structures, approach and direction so as to be able to adapt to the early modern conditions and to remain competitive with the new churches. The same regulations constantly reappearing over several decades, numerous cases and disputes, as well as the frequent admonitions from the archbishops and the Holy See, all of these testified to a more difficult and slower application of regulations and their adoption by believers and priets in practice. The Catholic Church had to rethink a number of questions concerning the faith, religious doctrine, teaching the believers and priests, sacraments, ceremonies, church services and especially the life and discipline of the clerics who had to be an example and moral support for secular representatives. Altough the changes were put into practice slowly, synods with their regulations were one of the most important methods or mechanisms of the early modern Catholic reform in Hungary.

Economic crisis in the 1930s´ radicalised also the attitude of inhabitants of Czechoslovakia. Among the young Slovak generation this was manifested by reevaluation of their attitude to civil and legal status of Slovakia. This contribution is dedicated to three significant events in the years 1932 and 1933: The congress of the young Slovak generation in Trenčianske Teplice, the congress of young agrarian generation in Zvolen and Pribina´s festivities in Nitra. On this example is demonstrated the denial of the state enforced ideology of Czechoslovakism by the whole young generation with no regards of party affiliation. Despite this consensus of opinions the representatives of the young generation still could not overcome the differences accruing from the party affiliation and agree on the common requirements which would lead to the solution of Slovak issue.

Karl Marx never questioned distributive justice although his theoretical researches are based on his criticism of capitalism and exploitation (labour theory of value). The paper offers a comparison of the classical Marxian theory with the contemporary critical Marxian theory as well as with J. Rawls’s theory of justice with regard to applying the Marxian theory in China’s economic reform. Rawls underestimates the role of the relations of production, his theory of justice as fairness being a synthesis of the reward principle and the equality principle under the economic conditions of capitalism. The analysis of the theory and practice of China’s economic reform leads to the two conclusions: 1) Distribution and redistribution are based on different principles of justice. 2) Neither of the above mentioned principles could be used in practice without deformations, as the establishment of a fair society is too a complex task.

The 1999 reform of the Polish education system created an unprecedented situation in history teaching. Over a 10-year period starting from 1999, more than 250 textbooks for all levels of teaching were introduced into schools, with teachers free to make an autonomous decision as to which textbook to teach from. Textbooks constitute specific instances of historiographical praxis. They are traditional compendia of knowledge about the past and they constitute interesting research material for those investigating the historical awareness and culture of contemporary Poles. Given the target audience of textbooks and a teleological tendency in presenting historical events which is often espoused by educationists, textbooks evince specific and selected assumptions, both historical, philosophical and methodological. Groups of every political description have been given — more or less deliberately — an opportunity to locate their own vision of the past. Subsequent governments, whether left-or right-wing, have largely respected this principle, avoiding an instrumental treatment of education to further their own ends. The right to a world view and a vision of the past has become an inalienable if unwritten civil right. The author of the article has attempted a classification of the available textbooks into metaphorical categories and ventured their assessment. The categories of textbooks assessed in the article are: “museum textbooks”, which follow traditional models; “archive textbooks”, which attempt to amass substantial factual and source texts with no authorial commentary; “picture book textbooks”, in which the explanatory burden rests on images; “reliquary textbooks”, which emphasise traditional values, both national and religious; “mystery textbooks”, which hardly yield to scientific scrutiny; and the most numerous “academia textbooks”, consistent with commonly accepted educational and historiographic trends in the academia. The most recent reform of the curriculum aims to alter this situation.
