Various social, political and economic contexts give rise to visibly different concepts of security and these differences make one ponder on the limitations of traditional concepts of democratization and political development. Scientists, politicians and activists are now ever more boldly beginning to ask difficult but necessary questions about the appropriate dynamics of the processes of creating security and about the priorities adopted within them, searching for ways on which these processes could be co-created by traditional, local visions of needs of citizens’ safe life. The review of scholarly literature and political journalism addressing security points out new spheres of debates and subjects of controversy within this discipline. In a situation where in security-related processes governments cannot be the only ones that dominate, a question about the possibility of expanding activities with non-governmental organizations arises.

The aim of the article is to answer the following research question: Are there any differences between individual characteristics of the leaders of non-governmental organizations which represent different readiness to implement social innovations? The answer will be based on the study carried out in 2017 in 29 rural communes of Łódzkie Province, with 104 NGO leaders as participants. Five research tools were used, including psychological instruments to measure social competencies of NGO leaders, their openness to experience, readiness to resist, and locus of control. The respondents’ education and sex were also analyzed. The analyses show that the leaders of organizations that are ready to implement social innovations have higher assertive competencies, cooperative competencies and social resourcefulness than do the leaders of organizations that are not yet willing to do so.

Celem pracy jest analiza ram prawnych oraz aspektów ekonomicznych udziału organizacji pozarządowych w rozwoju ekonomii społecznej. Artykuł wyjaśnia podstawowe zagadnienia zwią-zane z partycypacją organizacji pozarządowych, w tym pojęcie ekonomii społecznej, definicję organizacji pozarządowej oraz treść zasady subsydiarności. W ramach analiz prawnych stwierdza się, że prawo udziału organizacji pozarządowych w rozwoju ekonomii społecznej zagwarantowane jest w normach prawnych zawartych w ustawie z roku 2009 o finansach publicznych Zasadniczy charakter tych norm, a w szczególności art. 43 ustawy o finansach publicznych nie budzi wątpliwości, ze względu na jej umiejscowienie wśród regulacji istotnych dla organizacji finansów publicznych. W artykule podkreśla się, że zaangażowanie organizacji pozarządowych pozwala rozwinąć się lokalnym inicjatywom i stwarzać warunki rozwoju społeczeństwa obywatelskiego. Istnienie ekonomii społecznej przyczynia się z kolei do budowy sieci relacji kapitału zaufania społecznego. W opracowaniu zwrócono uwagę na potrzebę ustawowego włączenia wdrażania ekonomii społecznej do sfery zadań publicznych realizowanych przez organy administracji publicznych, w szczególności jednostek samorządu terytorialnego. Takie rozwiązanie pozwoli na większy udział podmiotów trzeciego sektora w tym obszarze. Należy przyjąć, że efektywne wdrożenie zasad ekonomii społecznej przez organizacje pozarządowe zależy od współdziałania z administra-cją publiczną, a ta podejmuje określone działania jedynie w oparciu o określoną podstawę prawną.

The objective of the thesis is the analysis of legal frames and economical aspects of the in-volvement of the non-governmental organisations in the development of social economy. The article explains basic issues connected with the participation of the NGOs, including the concept of social economy, definition of a non-governmental organisation and the contents of the principle of the subsidiarity. Within the legal boundaries, it is stated that the right of the NGOs to participate in the devel-opment of social economy is guaranteed in the legal standards included in the act on public finances from 2009. The basic character of the standards, especially paragraph 43 of the act on public finance leaves no doubts as it is placed among regulations vital for the public finance organizations. In the article it is emphasised that the involvement of the non-governmental organisations al-lows local initiatives to develop and create conditions for the development of the civil society. The existence of social economy, on the other hand, contributes to building a network of relations and to building the capital of social trust. In the work, the attention is drawn to the need of legal inclusion of introduction of social economy to the area of public tasks realised by public authorities, especially the units of the local governments. Such a solution will allow to increase the participation of the subjects of the third sector in this area. It needs to be assumed that the effective introduction of social economy princi-ples by the NGOs depends on co-operation with public administration, which undertakes certain actions only based on a certain legal basis.

The Police, as the most numerous uniformed formation in the Republic of Poland (over one hundred thousand officers), with strictly hierarchical command structure, is responsible for maintaining internal and legal order in the country. The Police has been entrusted with many competences one of which is the possibility to enter into cooperation with external entities, including non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The term NGO refers to all entities that are not public administration bodies, and whose activity is not aimed at making a profit. A characteristic feature of non-governmental organizations is, as the very name implies, the lack of link to public authorities. In Poland, this notion is defined in the Act on Public Benefit and Volunteer Work of 2003 which introduces an extended definition of non-governmental organizations as entities conducting public benefit activities (ngo.pl, 2018). The purpose of this paper is to bring up the subjects related to the cooperation of the Police and other state bodies with non-governmental organizations in the implementation of statutory tasks related to security and crisis management. The authors determine the place of NGOs in the system of ensuring security, draw conclusions and provide possible recommendations regarding this cooperation.

The aim of the article is to present the role of non-governmental organizations in stimulating vocational activity in such a local community as district (powiat). This aim seems to be particularly important in the context of the revival of localness and decentralization of social policy in Poland and thus the growth of non-governmental organizations' role. They are considered as potential employers, places to acquire professional experience in a form of voluntary service and partners in solving local problems, including labour market problems. Therefore, deliberations in the article concern among others the functions of non-governmental organizations, in particular the functions of building and providing labour market services. For that purpose, non-governmental organizations in selected districts were researched. The research was conducted in organizations which in their statute aims presented action supporting local labour markets. In order to obtain research material, the representatives of these institutions were interviewed. The findings indicate that providing labour market services do not determine the main directions of action of the presented organizations, but are rather objectives which supplement the basic activity of the chosen organizations. However, within action accomplished by non-governmental organizations, which operate in selected districts, several important areas can be distinguished. Unfortunately, scarce number of organizations undertaking this kind of activity in the researched area causes that their impact on local labour markets is little which, on the other hand, proves the part of hypothesis formulated for the needs of conducted research which assumes that the potential of NGO is still not used.

Iran is a country of great ethnic diversity. Although the official language of the country is Farsi, more than 8 other languages and hundreds of dialects are spoken throughout the country. This great ethnic diversity has led to emergence and growth of different cultures and religions (both official and non-official). This great diversity has potential for cultural growth and development. In recent years, many non-governmental organizations have made great efforts to teach children peace in different ways. The biggest motivation for these trainings are: to end misbelieves toward education, and professing to equal citizenship rights for all the ethnic groups. In the past 20 years, the issue of the right to equal education has been a hot topic of discussion in most non-governmental children’s researches. This refers to the promotion of peace culture, by peace-based educational programs for all age groups, from the beginning pre-school education stages. A group of active consultants and educational planners did a lot of work in this way. They held lots of workshops and meetings, and achieved successful programs with positive results.

Aim. The paper is aimed to investigate the students’ opinion about the social responsibility carried out by higher education institutions (HEIs) in Ukraine. Nowadays social responsibility has become one of the key characteristics of modern HEIs. Ukrainian universities are trying to become 'civic universities', i.e., institutions which contribute to the development of the local community. The students, as key stakeholders of the university activities, also take part in this process. Methods. To investigate the social responsibility of the Ukrainian HEIs, the case study method is used in the present paper: the case of Mariupol State University and its social functions within the city are highlighted. The online survey was applied to investigate the level of students’ awareness of the university social functions and the role played by the university in the local community. Materials published by the university and the results of the survey have been analysed to test the hypothesis that students consider Mariupol State University to be a socially responsible university which cooperates with the local community. Results. The students’ opinion on the social functions carried out by Mariupol State University is that this local university has strong ties with the local community and authorities and perform its social mission. However, the social functions of the university, according to the students, are limited by teaching and research activities. Few students consider social responsibility of the university in a wider context. Conclusion. On the example of the MSU the paper shows that modern universities in Ukraine perform social functions and try to become truly civic universities to contribute to the development of the local communities in cooperation with different stakeholders. Nevertheless, students as a key stakeholder of the university activities still consider social responsibility of the university primarily aimed at teaching and research.

This article aims to analyse and assess legal regulations concerning associations as a feature of civil society. In this context, reference is made to the essence of civil society. It should be emphasised that such a society constitutes the foundation of a democratic state under the rule of law. The article presents legal regulations concerning the right to freedom to associate in associations. According to the provisions of the Polish Constitution, the Republic of Poland ensures the freedom of establish and operate trade unions, socio-professional organizations of farmers, associations, citizen movements, and other voluntary unions and foundations, and also guarantees freedom of association to everyone. The article also discusses the notion and attributes of an association, the activities of associations in practice, as well as the problems they face in these areas.The existing legal regulations concerning the establishment and functioning of associations should be assessed positively. However, they are not free of faults. Introducing a less formal process of applying for grants and curbing excessive bureaucracy would be a change for the better in Polish legislation. This would lead to increased cooperation between NGOs and public administration. It needs to be stressed that until non-governmental organisations, including associations, are treated as an equal partner of public administration, we cannot speak about the existence of civil society in Poland.

The article describes relations and forms of cooperation between public administration bodies, both government and local government administration, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) belonging to the so-called “Third sector”. Associations and foundations are the most popular forms of NGOs. The basis for their functioning are the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, which guarantees freedom of association and foundation, and relevant acts, i.e. Law of Foundations and Law of Associations. There is no single, closed definition of the terms: public administration and administrative body. In literature they are defined by an indication of their characteristic features. We distinguish two forms of cooperation between the third sector and public administration: financial and non-financial. Financial support forms include targeted donations to NGO’s public tasks, financial guarantees, loans and sureties given to perform public service tasks. The range of non-financial forms of cooperation includes among others consultations with non-governmental organizations on formulating legal acts related to their statutory activities, the establishment of joint advisory boards, the creation of units supporting the activities of third sector organizations, or the transfer of real estate to be used by non-governmental organizations.

This article is an attempt to look at the possibility of applying a unique method of social work, called the Kofoed’s School Method, to adults education pursued by non-governmental organizations. The use of the method of vocational activation, developed in the Copenhagen social institution – Kofoed’s School, requires a look at the specificsof the method and its theoretical genesis. The Kofoed’s School focuses mainly on the social integration of the unemployed with the local community, although it is also a place of adult learning.The theoretical foundations of this method have been shown through Danish social pedagogy and its implications for adult education. The proposed adaptation of the Kofoed’s School Method refers to the educational practice towards adults in non-governmental organizations. In addition, the article outlines previous experience in the implementation of the Kofoed’s School Method in non-governmental organizations in Europe, as well as the opportunities that this method brings to adults education.

Reflections presented in this paper reverberate with the current social discourse based on respect for human rights, with heavy emphasis put on the active policy of employment of persons with disabilities. Improvement of the employment support system seems to be one of the most efficient forms of integrating this previously excluded and marginalized group of people into the mainstream social life. It is especially important in the case of persons with intellectual disabilities, who often remain in a particularly difficult situation for many reasons. Enhancing their autonomy via occupational engagement may be beneficial both at the individual (improved personal functioning) and macro (reduced costs for the state and welfare system) levels. The authors of this paper reflect upon the development and implementation of best practices in terms of building an effective mechanism of promoted social participation and the occupational engagement of persons with intellectual disabilities in an open social environment. This seems to create a real chance for community integration, to which these persons have the inalienable right, although so far they have often been left out of the mainstream social life.

For the first time internal security has been clearly articulated in Russian National Security Strategy of December 2015. That is when the so-called colour revolutions and “radical social groups which use nationalist and extremist religious ideologies, foreign and international nongovernmental organisations, as well as private citizens who act against the Russian territorial integrity and destabilise political processes” have been deemed the most significant challenges to the Russian security, together with the North Atlantic Alliance and the United States of America. As a response to such defined threats, Russian legislation introduced solutions that attempt to prevent the danger. The aim of this article is to answer the question, whether Russian authorities treat the destabilisation of internal situation as one of the main challenges to the Russian security, and if yes, what are the indications of that? Does Russian legislation (especially from the last few years), actions of the Russian authorities and Russian subject literature, include evidence confirming this hypothesis?
