The main thesis of the paper is that local low-level government or self-government can become a public good if it satisfies certain conditions. It is, however, necessary to abandon standard defining criteria of a public good concentrating on the criteria of the lack of exclusion and the lack of competition. For this analysis, two models of interdisciplinary character have been used, each containing seven components: Model I: Governmental macro-structure, with components: institutional and legal order, social trust, economic policy, public goods, income diversity, consensus reaching abilities, grey area activities. Model II Local micro-sphere, with components: relation of local government to environment, the extent of local decision power, efficiency of local government, mobility of local society, the self consciousness of local society, the local role of public goods, the attitude towards others. Each component can have diverse weight: weighting scale from 1 to 10 is proposed. We can define a limit of total weight for the transformation of local self-government into public good at the level of 75–80 points.

The article is a reflection on theoretic and axiological principles of the process of state institutions decentralization: from government centralism to territorial self-governance. The deliberations concern possibilities and abilities of territorial self-governments to run independently a lot of social issues in the circumstances, which are not favorable for taking the bit in their hands. It relates to the weakness of community and civil society, low social capital, weak participation and a tendency towards inequality and social discrepancy. Moreover, the attention is drawn to the specificity of social service development, mainly education and health care, which require an efficiently designed partnership of the three sides: government, professionals (corporate organizations) and - territorial self-government. In conclusion a thesis is presented that decentralization reform is a challenge for modern reforms in the state and in the social service sectors. It is a request for partnership and multi-level and multi -sector of public management. It is also a request for a deliberate creation of self-governance on the strength of social capital and partnership in solving social problems. Decentralization is a long process and not yet finished reform.

In particular, the share of investment expenditure of local self-governments in total budgetary expenditure and their dynamics were investigated. Other analysed factors included investment expenditures per capita. The studied period covered the years 2004—2009, which allowed for the assessment of tendencies for the analysed variables to change in time.

Shaping human capital for the needs of a knowledge-based economy (KBE) constitutes a challenge for the system of both formal and continuing education in Poland. These challenges were related with basic components and causative factors of human (including cultural and social) and intellectual capital. These capitals have been presented in the form of functions of selected (most important) elements. Each of these elements was perceived in another way than in KBE. These conditionings must be taken into consideration in the process of education. Introduction of changes in the system of formal education is a long-term process. The implementation of KBE in most regions, excluding urban agglomerations, constitutes at present a prerequisite for their development. The process of preparing human capital for the needs of KBE may be accelerated through adequate activities undertaken by local self-governments. Examples of these activities have been presented in this article.

Unlike the institution of referendum which is often analyzed by Polish researchers, the institution of village assembly is far less frequently the object of their deliberations – both in the context of examination of legal regulations and in the context of assessment of social practice. This fact is surprising since village assembly as a legislative body of the auxiliary unit of rural or rural/urban municipality, namely the village, is a well-established form of civic participation in rural communities and represents a unique variant of parliamentary activity at the very local level. The author of the article wants to make up at least in some degree for this lack of sufficiently thorough considerations. He presents a brief description of the institution of village assembly and, next, provides data relating to the way in which village administrators and inhabitants of one the municipalities of the Łódzkie voivodeship perceive the institution of village assembly. Due to the strictly “illustrative” character of research, it was difficult to formulate general conclusions; the author concentrated his attention and efforts on cataloging issues that had been most frequently raised by the surveyed groups. The majority of respondents considered village assembly to be a blocked-up “channel” of civic participation and felt that its “mechanics” was arduous. In this context it was surprising for the author of the article that both village administrators and inhabitants were reluctant to accept his suggestion that it would be good to introduce a moderator/facilitator into village assemblies, who would see to it that all inhabitants participating in such meetings have equal chances to speak and express their opinions, and who would help them come to an understanding.

There is an increase in the number of complaints regarding resolutions of local self-government legislative bodies, which is parallel to the citizens' legal awareness. Practice and doctrine have worked out various ways of managing cases connected with a consideration of a summons, then a consideration of a complaint regarding a resolution and filing the case in the administrative court. The aim of the work was to show that the varied practice used in self-government institutions can lead to a divergence, i.e. first of all, to the necessity to answer the question who should deal with a case before the court proceeding starts. Because such a solution, regulations regarding a summons to remove a breach of law by the institution, the fulfillment of which starts the filing of a case in court, is mainly aimed at initiating a process of public administration bodies' self-control, so that courts would deal with really contentious issues that cannot be eliminated through self-control. Practice indicates that the process of self-control in connection with complaints regarding resolutions of local self-government legislative bodies is not really implemented. Another remaining problem is to notify and summon the body competent to manage the case. The authors used mainly analytical and comparative methods in the work

The issue of municipal reform is clearly one of the major topics related to whole society. Many authors agree with its necessity, but their views of further direction of municipal reform diverge. On one hand there are preferences of maintaining the current model of cooperation with the legislative rules of cooperation being clearly defined. On the other hand, there is a preference for more radical solution in the form of merger. Inspiration for such action consists of several countries in Europe and the world, in which municipal reform has taken place. Less attention is paid to the various criticisms of authors regarding negative consequences of municipal reforms countries. The specific consequences that can bring merging municipalities will be of interest to present in this contribution. In this case, the primary evaluation measure will consist of the views of representatives of municipalities, therefore mayors of rural municipalities and mayors of cities.

The paper presents the results of research concerning the evaluation of changes in HRM in local-self government administration which came into effect in 2008. The changes aimed to stimulate the development of human capital and to help improve the qualifications of administrative staff so that they could efficiently perform the tasks associated with the needs of citizens and businesses. To that purpose, offices were granted greater independence in creating the rules of employment process. The paper presents the circumstances in which the changes were introduced and the influence of HRM on the development of human capital. This influence is manifested in recruitment and selection (internal and external staffing) selection procedures, organisation of human resources, the role of manager in HRM, qualification requirements, employee training and employee development plans. The outcome of the research is that the effectiveness of changes in HRM and application of new rules and personnel tools in creating anddevelopment of human capital depend primarily on the commitment of persons responsible for HRM and also on the size of office. Local self-government administration offices use a wide variety of solutions regarding HRM, recruitment and selection, employee training and other staf problems.
