This article identifies the factors which determine the electoral strategies of political parties in multi-level systems and describes how they can influence these strategies. It particularly focuses on the two aspects: regionalisation and “nationalisation” (centralisation) of the strategies. In the first case, state-wide parties allow their regional branches to develop their own strategies, in the second one – the regional strategies are dominated by the strategies of statewide parties. The article shows the features of political systems that foster each of these cases, especially the way in which a multi-layered system is created (bottom-up, top-down), the relations between the state authorities at central and regional levels (connected, separated), electoral systems and cycles.

Knowing the individual approaches to public administration helps us to thoroughly understand the identity of public administration. Among the basic approaches to public administration we includean interdisciplinary approach, an approach topublicadministration with an interdisciplinary character and an approach that supports public administration as a separate guided discipline. The classical methodological procedure is the basis of a systemic, institutional and structural-functional approach to public administration. In line with the previous availability of the current form of public administration, which are influenced by the processes of Europeanization and regionalization. They correspond to an adequate public administration that would be efficient and provide quality services to citizens. In this search, it turns out that the key is the degree of centralization and decentralization in public administration.

Islands, especially small ones, are commonly studied as microcosms of natural and social processes. In this article, La Digue island (10 km²) in the Seychelles archipelago was treated as such. An attempt was made to analyse the significance of the natural environment for the features of spatial development under conditions of intense globalisation. For this purpose, functional micro-regions were determined, along with their genesis and evolution. Spatial dynamics and individual features of space are presented as chorème (Brunet 1986). The analysis was based on data from a library query and field observation and field studies in July 2018. Twelve functional regions were determined. Analysis of the distribution and evolution of their functions reveals a high dependence on natural environmental features, especially topography, and thus confirms (at the scale in question) a geographical determinism.

The author characterizes the process of regionalization in Asia, focusing on trends in share of intraregional trade in total foreign trade of Asian countries and two main organizations of economic integration – ASEAN and APEC. The beginning of the 21st century brought a surge in the number of preferential agreements in Asia which are interloping and have weak institutional framework. That is caused by the lack of leadership or interest to relinquish the power to a common institution.

The paper explores the application of the gravity model, namely the delineation of the urban predominant influence areas via the generation of the multiplicatively weighted Voronoi diagram, to the socio-economic regionalisation and administrative territorial division of Ukraine, including the existing state of affairs and several proposals on their improvement. The research uses quantitative statistical data on interregional migration and rail passenger traffic within the country, processed via the Statistica analytics software, and a subsequent spatial analysis conducted by GIS. The findings suggest that the gravity model can serve as a tool for optimisation the administrative territorial division, as well as for the delineation of the planning regions and urban hinterlands. At the same time, it has certain limitations and should not be treated as a panacea for regional planning and development.

Celem tego artykułu jest ukazanie wpływu reformy administracji terenowej kraju na procesy kształtowania się regionów w Polsce. Jako przedmiot analizy wybrano Warmię i Mazury, region, który w wyniku przeprowadzonej w roku 1999 reformy zaczął intensywnie się instytucjonalizować. Wyłaniane w wyborach demokratycznych władze, wykorzystując dokumenty strategiczne, instrumenty finansowe oraz regionalny dyskurs medialny, tworzą i ugruntowują w świadomości mieszkańców poczucie realności istnienia regionu.

The aim of this article is to show how regions are created in Poland. The author focused on Warmia and Masuria, which started to become an established region as a result of an administration reform in 1999. An image of a region as an existing phenomenon is planted in its inhabitants’ minds by regional authorities, who make use of their strategic plans, financial instruments, and regional discourse.

This article aims to analyse the legal status of regional cooperation among the South Pacific countries and territories, as not every entity in the Pacific Basin possesses International law features of a state. Regionalisation, as well as regionalism, as illustrated by the example of the South Pacific region, is a new topic to examine, especially in the Polish and European literature. Therefore, this topic does need further and deeper analysis. First of all, both regionalism and regionalisation are international phenomena that were set against the process of globalisation only in the last two decades of the 20th century. Secondly, the Pacific Ocean became more dominant in geopolitics than the Atlantic Community at the beginning of 21st century. There are many publications regarding local cooperation mechanisms worldwide. Most of them, though, concern political and/or economic integration, and neglect the legal aspects of regional integration. The outcome of this article is nonetheless to present the contemporary legal statusof the South Pacific cooperation, though it is at the stage of regionalisation, while not yet regionalism – fully formalised and structuralised just as it is on the other continents.

Federalisation, regionalisation and local governance has been an important issue of legal and administrative sciences. Although the differences of decentralised and federal systems have remained, several transformations could be observed and in several countries the model of the public administration has changed in the last decades. A convergence or hybridisation of the models can be observed: the competences of the municipal bodies have been strengthened. Although the boundaries between municipalities and member states of the federation have blurred in the governance of these entities, the legal distinction between them remained solid: the regional municipalities with broad competences do not have their statehood.

Regionalizacja, federalizm i samorząd lokalny to istotne zagadnienia będące przedmiotem refleksji w naukach prawnych i administracyjnych. Chociaż utrzymują się różnice w systemach zdecentralizowanych i federalnych, to można zauważyć pewne przekształcenia, w kilku krajach zaś model administracji publicznej w ciągu ostatnich kilkudziesięciu lat uległ zmianie. Obecnie można zaobserwować procesy upodabniania się lub hybrydyzacji modeli, kompetencje organów samorządu terytorialnego ulegają bowiem wzmocnieniu. Chociaż granice między gminami a państwami członkowskimi federacji zatarły się w zarządzaniu tymi podmiotami, prawne rozróżnienie między nimi pozostało sztywne – regionalne jednostki samorządu terytorialnego nie mają cechy państwowości.

The purpose of the reflection is to outline certain topical problems and to provide a framework for discussion. The conclusion that can be subsequently drawn is that among other things, the world (global) challenges facing agriculture and food economy must always be taken into account. In meeting today’s challenges, one cannot ignore the process of globalisation, but reference to locality ought to be made at the same time. The teaching of agricultural law should not only be of local nature, but should also address issues relevant to EU law (regional aspect) or see it in a wider international perspective (global aspect). The research must not be limited to the domestic law of a given country, but must also take into account international agricultural law and EU agricultural law (if viewed from the Polish perspective) as well as the interdependencies and tensions between the phenomena of globalisation, regionalisation and the locality. The same is true of the traditional relationship between agriculture and production, and of new relationships, such as agriculture and the market, agriculture and food, agriculture and the environment, and agriculture and rural areas. Each of them is interesting from a cognitive point of view and, what is more, is important in the practice of lawmaking and its application. It is also obvious that the implementation of contemporary challenges of agricultural law requires undertaking and conducting a comparative research. In order to facilitate such research, international cooperation should be widely developed.

L’articolo si propone di delineare problematiche da affrontare nonché di impostare un quadro per la discussione. Nella parte conclusiva, l’Autore afferma tra l’atro la necessità di prendere sempre in considerazione le sfide mondiali (globali) poste davanti all’agricoltura e all’economia alimentare. Non è possibile – nell’attuare le sfide contemporanee – non tenere conto del processo di globalizzazione, ma allo stesso tempo – non riferirsi all’aspetto locale. La scienza del diritto agrario non può, tuttavia, avere solo un carattere locale, ma dovrebbe sollevare questioni rilevanti per il diritto dell’UE (aspetto regionale) o in una prospettiva più ampia – internazionale (aspetto globale). La ricerca non dovrebbe limitarsi solo al diritto interno di uno Stato, ma deve includere anche i cosiddetti diritto internazionale dell’agricoltura e diritto agrario dell’Unione Europea (guardando dal punto di vista della Polonia). Deve anche tenere conto delle interdipendenze e delle tensioni tra i fenomeni di globale, regionale e locale discussi. In tale prospettiva va inquadrato anche il rapporto tradizionale tra agricoltura e produzione, ma anche i rapporti nuovi tra agricoltura-mercato, agricoltura-prodotti alimentari, agricoltura-ambiente o agricoltura-zone rurali. Ognuno di essi è interessante dal punto di vista cognitivo, importante inoltre per il processo di emanare e applicare leggi. È anche ovvio che l’attuazione delle sfide contemporanee poste al diritto agrario in un contesto di globale, regionale e locale richiede di intraprendere e di svolgere ricerche comparative. Per facilitare tale ricerca, bisogna portare a uno sviluppo ampio della cooperazione internazionale.

The present contribution deals with recent trends of regionalizing international criminal justice, as in the case of the proposed extension of jurisdiction of the African Court of Justice and Human and People’s Rights over international crimes, and examines them against the background of the principle of complementarity, whose classic aim would be to allocate jurisdiction between the International Criminal Court and national courts. It is argued that the traditional understanding of complementarity may be extended to accommodate also regional criminal tribunals. A regional layer of criminal jurisdiction would therefore be introduced between the ICC and national courts. Given the overlapping but not identical scopes of jurisdiction, by the ICC, and the African Court, respectively, it is possible to conceive of them as potential partners working in parallel terms in prosecuting international (and transnational) crimes.

Artykuł odnosi się do tendencji regionalizacji międzynarodowego sądownictwa karnego, jak np. planów rozszerzenia jurysdykcji Afrykańskiego Trybunału Sprawiedliwości oraz Praw Człowieka i Ludów, z perspektywy zasady komplementarności. Opracowanie zmierza do udowodnienia, że tradycyjne rozumienie komplementarności (jako alokacji jurysdykcji pomiędzy Międzynarodowym Trybunałem Karnym a sądami krajowymi) można rozwinąć tak, aby uwzględnić także regionalne trybunały karne – jako szczebel pośredni pomiędzy stałym MTK a sądownictwem krajowym. Ze względu na zachodzące na siebie – choć nie tożsame – zakresy jurysdykcji, można potraktować MTK i trybunał regionalny jako potencjalnych partnerów, a nie konkurentów, w sądzeniu zbrodni międzynarodowych.

Zarządzanie strategiczne miastem we współczesnych warunkach światowej gospodarki to działanie złożone, którego istotą jest szybkie reagowanie na zmiany. Wyzwania stojące przed miastami dotyczą wielu obszarów, najistotniejsze z nich związane są z inwestycjami, innowacjami, kreatywnością i konkurencyjnością. Zrównoważony rozwój pozostaje generalnym celem miasta, zmienia się jednak struktura i hierarchia celów szczegółowych. W pracach nad strategią rozwoju miasta bierze udział społeczeństwo, czego efektem ma być tworzenie miasta dopasowanego do potrzeb mieszkańców i oddziaływanie na wzrost jakości ich życia. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie uwarunkowań współczesnej gospodarki determinujących zmiany w podejściu do planowania strategicznego rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego miast i ich priorytetów.

Given the current conditions of the worldwide economy, strategic city management is a complex activity, the essence of which is quick reaction to changing situations where the main processes of the world economy intersect. Cities face numerous challenges across many branches, but the most essential of them concern investment, innovation, creativity and competitiveness. Balanced development remains a general goal, but the structure and grading of detailed goals is changing for cities. The inhabitants of a city are involved in developing its strategy and the effect of its activity is city building fitted to inhabitants’ needs and boosting their quality of life. The goal of the article is to indicate determinants of the world economy which ultimately determine changes in the strategic planning of cities’ socio-economic development and their priorities. The research methods used include analysis of the literature, deduction, cognitive research and cause-and-effect analysis.

The article aims to demonstrate that today’s Poland needs a move toward the embracement of regionalism in social policy, and that this evolution must be supported by research as well as practical endeavours. The rationale can be sought in many external and, primarily, internal factors. The nation’s present living standard and level of awareness call for better coordination of institutional efforts, empowerment of regional governments, and social policies that are more closely attuned to local preferences. The question that remains open is to what extent this decentralisation should be a top-down process, and to what extent it should occur bottom-up, driven by independent initiatives undertaken by regional governments (with relevant regulations following in their wake). Either process entails devolving the decision making power to regions, enabling them to control social transfers, redistribute and allocate funds to social services, and adjust relevant policies to the region’s needs and potential. Under the redefinition of social policy proposed in this paper, the availability and the amount of social benefits are the two critical factors that, in conjunction, determine the value of what is termed as regional capital.

Celem artykułu jest wykazanie, że dalszy rozwój polityki społecznej w Polsce wymaga uwzględnienia regionalizacji zarówno w aspekcie poznawczym, jak i wdrożeniowym. Jest to powodowane wieloma czynnikami, tak zewnętrznymi, jak i — przede wszystkim — wewnętrznymi. Osiągnięty poziom życia i świadomości obywateli wymaga obecnie lepszej koordynacji działań instytucjonalnych oraz zwiększenia znaczenia władz regionalnych i dostosowania ich działań do preferencji mieszkańców regionu. Kwestią otwartą pozostaje charakter procesu zmian. Czy ma to być systemowa decentralizacja czy też autonomiczny rozwój inicjatyw i programów regionalnych i lokalnych wpływających na rozwiązania sys- temowe (zwłaszcza zaś na regulacje prawne)? W obu tych podejściach konieczne będzie zwiększenie samodzielności regionów w zakresie subsydiowania czy redystrybucji środków finansowych wspierających rozwój świadczeń, w tym zwłaszcza usług społecznych, a także ich lepszego dostosowania do potrzeb i możliwości ludności regionu. W przedstawionej koncepcji zmian polityki społecznej zakres i jakość świadczeń społecznych współdecydo- wały o wartości kapitału regionalnego.

The article has two goals. The first one was to discuss the problem of the boundaries of geographical sectors/ markets in the conditions of globalisation and regionalisation, with particular emphasis on agri-food economy. The discussion was based on a review of a variety of sources – the analysis covered the literature in the field of economics and economic geography, strategic management, marketing and logistics. The article addressed the issues of market and sector concepts and the importance of their geographic dimension. In this context, the role of distance and area for farming was presented. The processes of globalisation and the development of regional integration groupings were discussed, indicating their importance for the agri-food sector. The second objective was to present the concept of determining the geographical boundaries of sectors/markets. The existing methods of assessing the globalisation potential of the sector were discussed. Afterwards, while compiling the elements of these approaches and extending the range of included degrees of possible spatial ranges, an own approach was put forward. There is a need to further research this area, in particular to attempt to determine the geographical range of sectors, including agri-food products. The concept proposed in the article can be used in this regard. To that end, it would be desirable to further operationalise it and test it in practical terms in the evaluation of the geographical ranges of markets.
