The direction of reconstruction of Indian agriculture proposed in this article is based on analysis of the level of manpower resources and its efficiency in India's agriculture, contained in my previously quoted article. The first part contains short charakteristics of the course of agrarian reforms in India and opinions concerning the co-operative way of development of rural areas. This review provides a basis for a conculsion that along with passage of time there was taking place an evolution towards resignation from effective intervention in social relations in rural areas while the proposed and promoted way of development through introduction of co-operative solutions remained in the sphere of theoretical considerations. In the second part there is contained a proposition of reconstruction of the Indian village through provision of opportunities of full employment within the sector as the mast effective solution both from the point of view of utilization of manpower resources and maximization of agricultural production. It should be mentioned here that the proposition of establishment of „optimal" farms does not constitute an alternative for the co-operative movement but it provides only a chance of explicit presentation of the problem.

The article is devoted to analysis of Wł. Grabski's (one of the leading Polish interwar economists) opinions concerning the most favourable agrarian structure. Taking into account the fact that Poland's economy in the interwar period possessed distinct characteristics of economic backwardness, the evaluation of "optimal" — according to Grabski — agrarian structure is performed from the viewpoint of a start to accelerated economic devełopment. In this article the author was trying to provide an answer to the question to what degree the agrarian structure as proposed by Wł. Grabski was conforming to postulates posed before agriculture by contemporary theories of development of a backward economy. The final conclusion is that although the ideał agrarian structure as proposed by Grabski could be reconciled with present-day general theses of the development theory its essential shortcoming, in relation to conditions prevailing in the then Polish village, was the fact that it made no provisions for the agrarian overpopulation of the Polish village.

Only very few publications dealing with analysis of K. Marx’ views on development prospects of peasant farms indicate that also in his works one can find elements prompting an opinion that he perceived some possibilities of development for peasant farms. On the other hand, there are commonly emphasized these e le - ments in K. Marx' creative output, which testify to his uncompromising stance towards possibilities of implementing reproduction on enlarged scale by small- -commodity agriculture. The present article is devoted, in principle, to pointing out these elements in K. Marx' views, which may testify that he was inclined also to attributing to small-commodity agriculture certain chances for implementing reproduction on enlarged scale. There may be expanding these farms, which: — obtain surplus production above interest paid on price of land; — do not pay mortgage; — realize differential land rate I.

The article deals with analys is of W. Grabski's views on the evolution of the agrarian structure (Grabski was one of the leading agricultural economists in the inter-war period in Poland), Grabski was consistently supporting the superiority of the small peasant economy over the large landed properties. This superiority, in his opinion, was being reflected in the deconcentration of the agrarian structure. In the particular parts of the article the author discusses the factors determining the shape of the agrarian structure - changes in production relatione, level of effectiveness of land utilization in different types of farms, technical progress, and economic fluctuations. While analyzing Grabski's views on the deconcentration in the agriculture, the author focusses a great deal of his attention on the rationality of Grabski's propositions from the viewpoint of developmental needs of the inter-war agriculture. And even though Grabski did not perceive that “durability" of the peasant economy was an effect of the economic backwardness rather than - as he thought - the effect of development of the capitalism, there should, nonetheless, be underlined the rationality of his views in a concrete economic situation prevailing in the then Poland. The views of W. Grabski concerning the evolution of the agrarian structure are not contra dictory to postulates of mobilization of the productive factors by the agriculture in developing states as put forward by the present-day theories of the economic growth.

The institutional integration of the Polish agriculture within the economy of European Union countries is a process, which beginning can be linked to the implementation of the agreement on Polish association with the European Communities - dated from the very beginning of the year 1994. The end of the process in question will come together with the expire of transitional periods, this is when, our agriculture will be ruled accordingly to the CAP’s regulations. However, we need to remember th at the integration in terms of regulation aspect is not equivalent within the integration concerning the real sphere- in which the decisive voice belongs not only to farmers but also to the companies operating in the field connected with agriculture. Regarding integration as a process, which has its own inner dynamic, it seems to be obvious that the date of polish accession to the European Union will be of crucial importance for our farmers, however it does not have to be the breakthrough. Thus the optimal situation for polish farmers, would be the one, in which the 1st of May 2004, would be “ invisible and intangible” them. The level of reaching this optimum depends on many of factors. However, it can be mainly affected by both: the knowledge about CAP’S functioning and CAP's effects, as well as by effectiveness o f institutions dealing with farmers. This paper is intended to familiarise with the knowledge about CAP and its hitherto economic and social effects concerning specified European Union countries as well as highlighting both: prospective merits and disadvantages for polish agriculture emerging from the implementation of CAP.

The article discusses the concepts of the agrarian policy formulated by W. Grabski and aiming at elimination of agrarian overpopulation being one of basie socio-economic problems of the interwar Poland. Grabski's postulates are of complex charactęr. They encompass in their coverage co-ordinated activities inside the agricultural sector: transformation of the agrarian structure, development of agricultural education, development of agricultural infrastructure, and activities outside the agriculture - development of the industry. These aspects distinguish them in a positive way from then unilateral propositions. Analysis of Grabski's views is perfomed from the viewpoint of the theory of development of developing states. It should be underlined here that they fulfil the basic conditions formulated in these theries. Grabski proposed the agrarian reform, developicent of the industry, improvement in the education level, however, the development concept proposed by him in its concrete form could not free the Polish economy from the vicious circle of poverty - it could only weaken the negative conseąuences of overpopulation. This was rather treatment of symptoms than elimination of structural causes of the economic baekwardness. Grabski's propositions could improve the effectiveness of use of production means, make the period of accelerated development easier and less painful for the agriculture. On the other hand, they failed to create strong enough stimuli for entering the starting phase.

Autorzy mimo, że podejmują analizę funkcjonowania państwowych przedsiębiorstw rolnych, tj. przedsiębiorstw działających w daleko odmiennej sferze niż przedsiębiorstwa przemysłowe, to jednak w istocie analizują te same problemy, które są podjęte w innych opracowaniach zamieszczonych w tym zbiorze a dotyczących przedsiębiorstwa. Zajmują się Oni problematyką organizacyjnych zmian w systemie państwowych przedsiębiorstw rolnych, instrumentami sterowania procesami gospodarczymi, systemem motywacyjnymi. Akcentując, że r. 1981 przyniósł ostateczną dyskredytację bezpośrednich mechanizmów i centralnej alokacji i jednocześnie stworzył - teoretycznie - przesłanki poprawy racjonalności gospodarowania. Odwołując się do wyników badań empirycznych własnych i innych ośrodków naukowych oraz piśmiennictwa wykazują jednakowoż słabości wielu rozwiązań, których usunięcie warunkuje postęp w efektywności gospodarowania.

An attempt at remodelling the economic-financial system binding state agricultural farms was made in mid-1981. The system of commands and centralized allocation of supplies used for many years had proved to be poorly effective, hampering increase in efficiency, and promoting involvement of disproportionately high inputs in relation to obtained production effects. The operation of this system had shown many negative phenomena reflecting negatively on conditions and effects of activity of state agricultural farms. Thus, it is no wonder that the system has become an object of strong criticism on the part of specialists and the general public in the late seventies. The response and the expression of reformatory tendencies in the economic sphere was an attempt aiming at basing the operation of these farms on new principles undertaken as from July 1, 1981. The main principles under lying the new economic-financial system of state agricultural farms were autonomy, self-financing of their entire economic activity, and self-management of employees. The system introduced a principle that state agricultural enterprises shape their organization, directions and structure of production, and plan their economic-financial operations in a fully autonomous way. The very essence of the agrarian issue in Poland, organizational prerequisites of the state sector functioning, instruments of controlling economic processes in this sector , as well as the motivation system have become an object of analysis and critical evaluation based on the authors' own studies and the literature of the subject.

The study is an attempt at a scientific reflection on transformations and functioning of the Polish agriculture during the process of transition to a market economy (covering the period since 1989). It has been based on theoretical and empirical research on this subject carried by the authors for several years now. The study consists of an introduction and four chapters. Generally speaking, they deal with the analysis and evaluation of experience of agricultural farma (family and atate-owned) operating in changing economlc-political conditions and the atate agricultural policy. Against this background, the authors analyte the Impact of various measures on efficiency of farming activity, directions and forms of transformations, adaptation stimuli and barriers, development dilemmas, etc. The operation of agricultural farms over the last three years has been an object of a most detailed analysis due to radicalization and acceleration of systemic transformations of the Polish economy. Apart from its analytical stratum the study contains also numerous recommendations concerning the principles of elaborating the agricultural policy.
