The Roman Catholic Church was main enemy of communist government in Polish People Republic. Wise leadership of cardinal Stefan Wyszyński prevented this institution from destruction or lost independence. All of his activity had one main purpose – give protection from the plans of communist dignities. So I try to show that cardinal Wyszyński was probably the most realistic person in the history of the Polish People Republic. His attitude was main reason that polish Catholic Church didn’t lost their independence from communist system.

This article is an attempt to present a generally understood opinion of the Serbs and their various groups, both in Serbia itself and scattered all over the world, about the unilateral Albanian proclamation of independence of Kosovo on 17 February 2008. The author thoroughly examines the Serbian government’s official standpoint, the individual politicians’ opinions as well as positions of the main political parties, the Orthodox Church, numerous organisations, associations, representatives of academic and media circles, etc. The analysis ends with the beginning of December 2008 when Kosovo’s independence was recognised by 54 countries all over the world. The major thread of this paper, i.e. very strong Serbs’ opposition against the aforementioned proclamation of February 17 has been shown against the background of Serbian -Albanian relationship on the turn of the 20th and 21st century with particular emphasis on the years of 2007 -2008. Another factor that the author presents is a vast description of the process of gradual acceptance of Kosovo’s independence by more and more countries and their political and economic motivations in view of legal and political actions undertaken by Belgrade in order to question the legality of the secession act.

The road to statutory regulation of legal personality of the Catholic Church in Poland "of the people" was extremely tortuous and had its turbulent history. In my analysis, I present how it came to pass the so-called "May's laws" and type this process in the whole relation between state – church, in the decade of eighties of the twentieth century. As I prove in my analysis, the way of conducting the work on the statutory regulation of the legal personality of the Catholic Church depended directly on the condition of the mutual relations and especially of the current, in a given period of time, concept of the religious policy of authorities, which in the last decade of the existance of the PRL had variable and dual character.

One of the most basic functions of the state is to ensure the security to it and its citizens. Significant elements are: perseverance, political independence, territorial integrity and maintenance proper level of life quality. Today’s intelligence, which is part of the structures of security organs, belongs to the elite part of the special forces performing strategic goals. Therefore, acquiring the information by OSINT is important not only for the institution itself but also for citizens. OSINT is one of the means by which security is provided to the internal and external states. Open source information is one of the agents of economic, political, military, etc. Books, periodicals, statistical yearbooks, social networking sites and daily newspapers belong to the basic, verified sources. In globalized world, OSINT has particular importance because, due to the obtained information, the state can take defensive action. In this article, the author pointed out the use of OSINT in the military diagnosis.

The paper is interested in how the repositioning of organized labour in Europe in the last 20 years has affected its capacity to answer the current fiscal crisis of the state. While there is reason to expect a growing discontent among unions' core constituencies with the unequal way that the costs of the crisis are being distributed, unions don't seem to be able to organize this discontent, and turn it into a source of countervailing power against 'markets' and the state. In order to understand this outcome, the paper makes three arguments. First, it shows that European integration since the 1980s has at its core been a neoliberal project which has aimed at restoring capitalist power and institutionalizing permanent austerity. It then argues that trade unions have become integrated into this project in a paradoxical way: while their institutional representation has been enhanced, they have simultaneously experienced a significant loss of autonomy and capacity to achieve substantial gains for their constituencies. As a result, trade unions approach the current fiscal crisis of the state from a peculiar state-dependent position, which limits their capacity to organize the growing discontent in a sustainable way.

The article provides an analysis of the constitutional position of presidents of committees specifi ed in statutes. In accordance with Article 147, para. 4 of the Constitution such presidents may be appointed to membership in the Council of Ministers. But so far this regulation attracted little interest from scholars. The analysis covers both constitutional solutions and the practice of the period of Polish People’s Republic, when for the fi rst time in the history of Polish constitutionalism presidents of committees were accepted as members of the government, as well as legal regulations and practice of the Third Republic of Poland. In the author’s view, in the application of the above-mentioned Article more negative than positive experiences occurred. Moreover, due to the complexity of normative regulation relating to the said offi ce — combining the elements of a collective (committee) with a one-person management (president of a committee) — interpretative problems may arise. The author claims that the current trend to not apply Article. 147, para. 4 of the Constitution will be continued in the political practice.

The author considers the concept of “quality of higher education”, examines a variety of approaches to its definition and experience of Great Britain, the opportunity to use this experience in the modern system of national higher education. A brief description of the current criteria for assessing the quality of education, criteria and standards, which are used for evaluating the quality of education, is given. It is determined that the level of the institution is necessary to provide quality of educational services; viable implement international quality standards of education; contribute to the educational process, adequate to modern trends in the development of national and world economy. In order to consider the school modern and prestigious, it is necessary to pay attention to solving the most important goal – providing quality knowledge. The problem of quality of graduates’ knowledge remains one of the most important and at the same time – one of the most difficult. Most estimates indicate the quality of higher education is the experience of Great Britain, which is part of the founders of the Bologna process, whose system of external evaluation of the quality of higher education is not just comprehensive, but also one of the toughest and most prestigious in the world. The most interesting innovation in the field of quality of education of Great Britain were the subject of detailed scientific discussions aimed at drafting a new pan-European approach to the quality management education. In the UK universities are independent, autonomous organizations with their own legal authorities, both academic and administrative. Given the need to implement European standards of quality educational services in the European educational space, the institution should provide the quality educational services; effectively implement the international standards of education; promote the organization centered learning process, adequate to modern trends of national and world economy; promote quality control training for all the levels of education; exert every effort to attend schools in the annual rankings of universities around the world. Today the quality of European higher education directly depends on the ability of the institution to form a “value added”, which is possible only if there is a focus on the qualities that are necessary to function in the modern society: openness and interest in the environment, innovation, morality, social activity and responsibility, the ability to learn throughout life.

The study aims to identify of the specific models of cooperation between government and opposition in Czechoslovakia in transition period. In the article the prerequisites of confrontational relationships and their projection on the level of political competition and the formation of new political institutions in terms of democratization are determined. Was proved that the character of the relationship between government and opposition in Czechoslovakia was largely determined by degree of democratization of the regime and the opposition force, it`s goals and strategies. In the late 80th under pressure of the opposition, parties have moved from confrontation to cooperation, what reflected on co-option of the opposition members to the government. However, at the coalition government in fact was no division on pro-government and opposition forces, which made adaptation of opposition to the new socio-political conditions more complicated. A fundamental difference between the relationship of government and opposition in West European countries and Czechoslovakia was noted. In West European countries, the relationship found expression in both legal and political norms. They were characterized by the fact that they are in mutual consent of the parties to act before all in the public interest without going beyond existing law. In Czechoslovakia the main opponents of the ruling forces were communists who had radically different understanding of the main goals of social development. As for the anti-communist opposition, which operated until 1989, its isolation and the virtual disappearance were observed. The elections did not lead to authority post-communist forces, as it were observed in Poland and Hungary. The weakness of the opposition until 1989 gave her little chances at a new political conditions. It was weakened by internal divisions. Against the background of a weak opposition increased level of competition between pro-government parties. This, to some extent, contributed the establishment of new informal rules of electing of the president and prime minister of the federal government. After the first free parliamentary elections, relations between the government and the opposition have changed to a more confrontational with minimal consensus. In Czechoslovakia, in contradistinction to Poland and Hungary, there was no opposition repositioning, i.e. its transformation from outsider of changes of political order to an active participant in the parliament. Post-opposition forces remained weak and separated political entities. In 1991-1992 clear division between progovernment and opposition forces cannot be traced. Blurred boundaries between political opponents were intensified duality of political regime, that combines the features of the previous and democratic, centrifugal tendencies, regionalization of political parties. The competition took the form of real competition within the ruling group, formally differentiated by geographic criteria into two political parties. All this weakens the inter-party competition at the level of «government-parliamentary opposition» at the national level and put the problems of democratization to the second plan, giving priority to processes of formation of independent states of Czech Republic and Slovakia.

This paper introduces the history of the concept of governance in the European and non-European context, putting special emphasis on perspectives that present the most common ways of its defining and investigating by different authors in the political sciences and public policy from the past to the present. Knowledge of these perspectives allows to understand and explore the modes and circumstances related to the coordination of public and social policies focused on solution of contemporary societal problems and new social risks. In particular, the paper presents six different but mostly used perspectives that accentuate (1) the decreasing role of the government, (2) the way in which large corporations are managed and controlled, (3) the introduction of new public management, (4) the existence of countries characterized by more or less democratic government, (5) the greater involvement of social actors in addressing societal problems, and (6) the growing role of inter-organizational and self-organizing networks of actors influencing the policy-making and/or policy implementation of public and social policies. In conclusion, we summarize key findings and briefly propose concrete analytical steps that can be used to operationalize the concept of governance in order to best understand the processes of this phenomena that can be explored in public policy as a scientific discipline and societal practice.

Distribution of resources is at the core of politics. Although this activity is primarily economic in nature, the existing research shows that political representatives often use the allocation of public money to reward their allies at the expense of their rivals. This paper analyses a 2015 governmental programme of local sport grants in Slovakia that aimed to build sport facilities for children and young people. In order to avoid any political bias, the programme was established as a neutral mechanism with an anonymous evaluation of grant requests. The results of analysis, however, provide substantial evidence that the subsidies were given primarily to towns with closer political ties to the government while municipalities led by mayors from the opposition were nearly fully ignored. In addition, the presented social and economic aims of the funding programme were not effectively pursued. The paper thus represents a valuable contribution to the discussion of distributive politics, in general, as it shows that, despite the respective legal framework, the allocation of resources may still end up as a process fuelled by partisan interests.

This article looks at the transition from the model of relationship between business and state, which dominated in Russia in the 1990s, to the one at the beginning of the 21st century. Russian history provides extensive evidence that business and state had always been closely connected and interdependent in this country. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, interdependency changed to dependency: while in the 1990s business was dominating the state, on the edge of two centuries the state took control over business. The tradition of close co-operation has been destroyed.

In the last years the world was faced with the worst economic crisis since the 1929-33 period which led to a significant decline in the global economy, tumultuous aftershocks of the financial and the real sector, significant shaking of confidence in financial institutions and the stability of the global financial system. This paper focuses on the crisis that began in the summer 2007 in U.S. when increased delinquency on the secondary market for mortgages created turbulence in the secondary market of securities covered by residential credits. The turbulence was then expanded to other markets securities, money market, financial institutions, with knock-on effects that are transmitted to all market segments, by involving the real sector. Under its global effect, this crisis was characterized as comprehensive, complex and global. This paper intends to detect the origin of this crisis and to analyze the potential government mistakes that led to the current world economic state.

Purpose: There is a need to insure effectiveness in public transport infrastructure capital outlays. The Value for Money (VfM) concept has been embedded in political economy and management without a clear methodological framework and accepted definitions. This paper addresses methodological boundaries and opportunities for implementation of the VfM concept with special consideration to its marketing components. Methodology: A literature review and assessment of practical experience has been completed. An evaluation of the VfM logic is also provided. The VfM functions and application as an analytical, management and marketing tool are analyzed. Findings: The VfM project assessment methodology can be used to insure the best possible input costs and impacts ratio. The maximization of VfM is possible if this approach is correctly and fully implemented. Additional methodological and conceptual work is needed to ensure its full applicability. This concerns also marketing elements of the VfM concept. Originality: The paper presents a complex approach to VfM as an analytical and management procedure. It contributes to research advancement in this insufficiently explored area. Keywords: value for money, infrastructure, government, value for money 3E approach, value for money, marketing

On August 15, Mariusz Błaszczak, Minister of National Defense, and Michael Pompeo, U.S. Secretary of State, signed an agreement to strengthen the permanent presence of U.S. troops in Poland. The agreement was signed in the presence of the President of the Republic of Poland Andrzej Duda. The agreement sets the legal framework for the presence of U.S. troops in Poland. The adopted principles are based to a large extent on regulations common to all NATO members, i.e. the NATO SOFA agreement of 1951, which Poland adopted with its membership in the North Atlantic Alliance. The agreement, which replaces the existing agreement from 2009, has been concluded for an indefinite period, and both parties can terminate it after informing the partner. This article details the provisions of the new international agreement, comparing its provisions with the existing legal regulations in the field of Polish-American cooperation.
