The next (20) part of the Cooperative Thought Library reminds already forgotten theorist and a pioneer of Polish rural cooperative, a precursor of science management organizations - professor Tadeusz Klapkowski (1902-1984). His relations with institutions very important for the development of indigenous social and economic thought of the period before World War II, such as the Cooperative Institute for Research and the National Agricultural Research Institute in Pulawy are mentioned. Klapkowski is shown as a supporter of the autonomy of cooperatives to the state. The state should play a subservient role to the community initiatives. The excerpts from his book titled 'Cooperatives in Polish agriculture', Warsaw 1929 are reminded.

The current borders of European nation states are losing many of their functions to date and are ceasing to be borders of a merely political character. The role of non-state and non-governmental institutions is increasing. These processes incline to the questioning of the character and function of the newly-forming types of political borders. In order to answer these questions, one should reach for the classical understanding of 'territory', 'border' and 'state', from ancient times (the Roman Empire), via the Middle Ages and the French Revolution up to contemporary times. The result of this analysis demonstrates that territory as a space held within a legal framework is an essence and defines the character of statehood. It carries with it several consequences such as the territory's becoming an area over which extends the defined authority of the state, or that within the borders of its territory, the state has a monopoly on the exercise of authority. Hence the conclusion that borders are a basic political institution which organises the space for running the politics and activities of the state. The subsequent element of the analysis is the functions which borders fulfil. There are five: defensive, legal, economic, ideological and socio-psychological. Finally, it appears that borders are intricate and multi-functional phenomena which results in their fulfilling ever more manifold functions. They are agencies of sovereignty and security, institutions of social constraint and symbols of the diverse economic and political situations of states.

The role of a sovereign in a state is passing through a complicated development during the existence of the state. This development is not direct and gradual but sometimes it regresses to the previous evolutionary stages and subsequently it reverts to the modern and civilized forms (like other social phenomenon). Therefore there are both modern form of democracy and totalitarian regime in the state over several tens of years. The aim of this paper is dealing with the status of the sovereign in a modern democratic state system, not researching causes of mentioned phenomenon.

This article concerns the matter of democracy in The First Republic of Poland (1569/73— 1795). The author puts forward the thesis that fundamental rules of the concept of deliberative democracy, postulated today, were realized in the old polish times, but only in sphere of noblemen. Then democracy was largely open; noblemen very active took part in public debate on local councils and through their deputies. It was a debate with equals participators, open, based on arguments, which were used to convince opponents. Freedom of speech was unlimited. A public debate realized informative and educational functions. It was possible, because on local councils and diets operated a rule of common agreement; all participants in the debate had to agree to make an united decision — otherwise thought that a decision was not adopted. When the conflict between noblemen and the king began to grow The First Polish Republic lost its power and falled.

Using the example of three films – Kandidát (The Candidate, 2013, dir. Jonáš Karásek), Pirko (Little Feather, 2016, dir. Lucia and Petr Klein Svoboda), and Únos (Kidnapping, 2017, dir. Mariana Čengel-Solčanská), the present study deals with distrust in the systemic elements of society in Slovak feature films in the period following the establishment of the Audio-visual Fund (2009). By means of a thematic and stylistic analysis, it points to the similarities between the selected films. It shows their rootedness in the established trends of Slovak cinema as well as their diversion from them, which is mirrored in their dialogical work with the phenomenon of reality, by creating an illusion of anticipation or influencing future action.

The text deals with ways in which Slovak live-action films made in 1990s introduced the topic of mistrust in the state and its institutions. On specific examples, the text demonstrates such mistrust was not primarily a critical attitude, but rather consisted of two basic forms of refection. On one hand, live-action films made for cinema often promoted the post-modern principle of a ‘relative’ truth, presenting a lifestyle with minimal ties to the state, sometimes also formulating mistrust in specific state institutions (the police, state-run artistic institutions, education system) by means of irony. On the other hand, films made for state television frequently drew attention to corruption within state organisations and the fact it was usually being generally accepted as a status that did not need to be analysed. In both cases, the message of 1990s was carried on to the next millennium, and can eventually be interpreted as a way of solidifying the discourse of mistrust that we perceive in contemporary Slovak film for cinemas and television.

The CSR-oriented companies introduce some tools to demonstrate their environmental and social responsibility. Besides different activities which are presented in reports, certificates they apply for demonstration of their social and environmental engagement. Due to the increasing awareness among consumers there is an even greater demand for authentic and independent guaranteecertificates which confirm the social responsibility doings. So in the last few years the use of thematic trademarks which are signs of the responsibility has spread. The presented research focuses on a special segment of national park trademarks. The research questions within the framework of a standard interview are attempting to reveal how informed consumers are concerning the trademarks in use and whether the consumer favours those products and services that pos sess quality certificates. What are the expectations of the consumers in connection with products and services that hold the Hungarian National Park Product trademark? Do these certificated products and services mean benefits to consumers? The trademarks of the manufacturers and service providers give information to the customer on the advantage of the product and hence the whole life-cycle of the product is seen through. Probably due to this controlled quality and reliable origin the certified products are favoured. This kind of labelling means a kind of guarantee to the customer.

The author considers which form of association of EU states the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe reflects. The word treaty means that one has to deal with the international treaty adopted by the will resulting from equality in law of all EU states. On the other hand the word constitution expresses that the entity established by the treaty has a character which in some respects resembles to that of a state. The EU bears some features of a state - namely citizenship and symbols, nevertheless it does not have its own sovereign power because this is derived from the sovereignty of member states. The EU institutions don't present a copy of classical division of power in the state and in this context one may say that the EU doesn't have its own mechanism of enforcement of legal obligations. In the text of the treaty we don't find an explicit statement that the EU becomes a composed state. Hereafter one has to deal with the international organization with several elements of supranationality whose existence is possible and whose functionning depends on its sovereign member states. Perhaps it seems as most correct to refer to the EU by a functionalist definition.

This text is a response to a review of Petr Sommer's book 'Svaty Prokop. Z pocatku ceskeho statu a cirkve' (Saint Prokop. From the Beginnings of the Bohemian State and Church), Prague 2007. The concept of this book, which strives to provide an interdisciplinary view of the Early Middle Age and Prokop's personality was positively received. However, negative responses related to the concept of the organization of the early medieval Bohemian state, its church and the institution of private property. In response to these reproaches, the author explains why the argument based on Prokop's ownership of private property as the justification for the existence of private and heritable property in the Early Bohemian Middle Ages is unacceptable to him; why he does not consider the model of the feudal organization of society as antiquated and where the principles of organization of the early Bohemian state and its society lie. Furthermore, he discusses the possibilities of using legendary texts, penitentials and books of homilies for the reconstruction of Prokop's world and the degree of modelling permissible in the work of a historian who detaches himself from historical resources.

This article examines the concept of republican political freedom in connection with three aspects of the relationship between subject and state: the subject as distinct from, or opposed to, the state; the subject as established by its constitutional definition; and the subject as a historical praxis of identification and de identification with its legal, recognised form. For this, firstly, I discuss the republican concept of freedom. This is followed by a reflection on the relationship between the individual and the modern state in terms of an analysis of the subjective legitimacy of power based on consent. Finally, I set out to examine republican political freedom from a historicist perspective, venturing some reflections on the relationship between the republican state as a promoter of freedom and historical liberating practices.

The article is focused on theoretical considerations aimed at defining and delimitation of the ranges of public and private spheres. Such considerations are justified by the fact that the theory of state and of public sector, as well as fundamentals of economic analysis and regulation of the public sphere, constitute a relatively poorly developed part of the theory of economics. On the other hand, the public sphere and the demand for effective methods of its development become larger due to increasingly complicated social, political and economic relations, an increasingly tough competition and bitter rivalry, the density of population in most parts of our globe and a deeper and deeper disproportion in the development of particular areas.

This article focuses on a key episode in the Czech political-economic history of the 1990s, the abandonment of 'Czech capitalism', and the switch towards the competition state and an economic model based on foreign investment. The account of the U-turn in the policy approach to foreign investors identifies domestic actors that have had a crucial role in organising political support for the competition state. These actors, which the author calls the 'comprador' service sector, have an important role in mediating the structural power of transnational investors and translating it into other forms of power within the state. These actors also had a major role in shaping the U-turn in policy in the Czech Republic.
