Wicked Problems and Gordian Knots: an Increased Risk of the Tsunami Effect in Modern Governance
Full text linkMy purpose is to explain why it is so freąuent that policy makers both public and private fail in their efforts to solve problems. The main ąuestion is why educated and experienced persons cannot achieve their goals by reasonable decisions and actions.

The very characteristics of these types of problems arę conducive to Tsunami Effect, to complete incapability of designing strategies which arę efficient enough. Gordian knot is defined here as a wicked problem having some specific features and causes.

Ograniczenie prawa do informacji publicznej w orzecznictwie sądów administracyjnych - wybrane zagadnienia
Full text linkThe Limitation of the Right to Public Information in the Rulings of Administrative Courts: Selected IssuesIn modern democracies, the right to public information is the basis of functioning of states and international organisations. In Poland, the right to information, as introduced in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and regulated in the Act on Access to Public Information, provides citizens with extensive possibilities of controlling the state’s transparency. In the Act, access to public information is dened very broadly and covers almost everything that is related to the activity of public authorities. However, this right cannot be of absolute nature. For various reasons, access to public information must be limited. However, such limitations should be exceptions and cannot violate the essence of the right of access to public information, as referred to in the Constitution and the Act on Access to Public Information.In recent years, there has been adramatic increase in the number of requests for public information and public institutions issue decisions to refuse to provide such information. These decisions are then examined by administrative courts. In such cases, administrative courts play avery important role as in their rulings they dene the fundamental concepts included in the Act on Access to Public Information and specify the scope of public information subject to disclosure.The article contains adetailed analysis of abody of rulings of administrative courts concerning the limitation of the right to public information due to personal data protection, business secrets and the value of processed information, which is related to an additional requirement of the applicant acting in public interest. It must be added that rulings on providing access to public information are inconsistent and changeable, which makes it substantially more dicult for public administration authorities to carry out this constitutional right
Postępowanie kwalifikacyjne wobec kandydatów do służby w formacjach mundurowych
Full text linkThe Recruitment Procedure Applied to Candidates for Uniformed ServicesThe article deals with regulations concerning the recruitment procedurę which precedes employment of officers of uniformed services. The legislator did not decide to introduce a uniform model of recruitment procedurę for all uniformed services, which is justified given specific tasks performed by particular services. Regardless of the justified differences between recruitment procedurę concerning various uniformed services, a substantial similarity may be shown, namely that all of them arę associated with the right of access to the public service, laid down in Article 60 of the Polish Con-stitution of 2 April 1997. The rationale for such considerations is justified by the signif-icance of the problem, but also by the fact that regulations governing the recruitment procedurę arę marginalised by law scientists. The purpose of the study is to resolve the doubts concerning the legał naturę of the recruitment procedurę and the activities tak-en in its course as well as to assess the provisions governing the recruitment procedurę in the context of the right of access to the public service and the formal guarantees of that right. As a result of the analysis of the relevant provisions, it has been found that the recruitment procedurę for candidates for uniformed sendces is public administra-tion proceedings. Activities undertaken by the entity conducting a particular procedurę arę "other public administration activities" within the meaning of Article 3(2)(4) of the Act on proceedings in administrative courts of 30 August 2002. The activities of the entity conducting the proceedings, such as exclusion of the candidate to take part in the recruitment process, staying of proceedings against a particular candidate and the finał assessment may therefore be the object of a complaint lodged with the admin-istrative court. Also recognised is the need to introduce legał provisions systematising the issue of notification of recruitment for vacant positions in uniformed services as the basie condition for the implementation of the right of access to the public service
