Ocena skutków regulacji jako element procesu regulacyjnego
Full text linkRegulatory Impact Assessment as an Aspect of the Regulatory Process The chief method to weigh regulatory influence is Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA). Its potential is hidden in the high probability of triggering the process of advancing dialogue between public representatives and stakeholders. That stimulates the creation of a fertile ground for the higher quality of public debate, institutions and, eventually, law. The RIA as a method of neutralising the negative consequences of the market mechanism is perceived as an expression of the better governance process focused on achieving more social inclusivity and higher regulatory effectiveness. The RIA promotes a systemic and comparison-friendly approach in the process of lawmaking. The RIA enforces the strict formulation of the problem (subject of regulation), aims of public intervention, and alternative ways of their attainment. The process of RIA in such jurisdictions as Polish still lags behind as a result of serious infrastructure shortages (human capital as a key one)

The dream that never dies: the ideals and realities of cosmopolitanism in science, 1870–1940
Full text linkIn the half-century before the Great War, collaborative international ventures in science became increasingly common. The trend, manifested in scientific congresses and attempts to establish agreement on physical units and systems of nomenclature, had important consequences.One was the fear of information overload. How were scientists to keep abreast of the growing volume of books, journals, and reports? How were they to do so in an era without a common language? Responses to these challenges helped to foster new departures in cataloguing, bibliography, and an interest in Esperanto and other constructed languages.By 1914, the responses had also become involved in wider movements that promoted communication as a force for peace.The Great War dealt a severe blow to these cosmopolitan ideals, and the post-war reordering of international science did little to resurrect them.A “national turn” during the 1920s assumed a darker form in the 1930s, as totalitarian regimes in the Soviet Union, Italy, Germany, and Spain associated science ever more closely with national interests.Although the Second World War further undermined the ideal of internationalism in science, the vision of science as part of a world culture open to all soon resurfaced, notably in UNESCO.As an aspiration, it remains with us today, in ventures for universal access to information made possible by digitization and the World Wide Web).The challenge in the twenty-first century is how best to turn aspiration into reality.Pół wieku przed pierwszą wojną światową coraz powszechniej zaczęły się pojawiać wspólne przedsięwzięcia naukowe. Ta tendencja, przejawiająca się w organizowaniu kongresów naukowych oraz próbach osiągnięcia porozumienia w sprawie jednostek fizycznych i systemów nomenklatury naukowej, miała istotne konsekwencje.Jedną z nich był lęk przed przeładowaniem informacji. Jak naukowcy mieli być na bieżąco z coraz większą liczbą książek, czasopism i raportów? Jak mieli temu podołać nie korzystając ze wspólnego języka? Odpowiedzi na te wyzwania pomogły pobudzić nowe kierunki w katalogowaniu, tworzeniu bibliografii oraz zainteresowaniu Esperanto i innymi językami konstruowanymi.Do roku 1914, odpowiedzi te wiązały się także z szerszymi ruchami społecznymi, które promowały komunikację międzynarodową jako narzędzie do utrwalania pokoju. Pierwsza wojna światowa zadała poważny cios tym kosmopolitycznym ideałom, a powojenne przekształcenie porządku międzynarodowej nauki niewiele zrobiło, by je odtworzyć.Zwrot w stronę nacjonalizmu w latach 20. XX wieku przybrał bardziej mroczną formę w latach 30. XX wieku, ponieważ totalitarne reżimy w Związku Radzieckim, Włoszech, Niemczech i Hiszpanii wiązały się coraz ściślej z narodowymi interesami.Choć druga wojna światowa jeszcze bardziej podważyła ideał internacjonalizmu w nauce, wkrótce wskrzeszono, szczególnie w UNESCO, wizję nauki jako elementu światowej kultury otwartej dla wszystkich.Do tego ideału aspirujemy również i dziś, dążąc do powszechnego dostępu do informacji za pomocą digitalizacji i sieci WWW. Wyzwaniem w XXI wieku jest jak najlepiej przekształcić tę aspirację w rzeczywistość

Wpływ organizacji pozarządowych na realizację celów publicznych – aspekty prawne
Full text linkThe Impact of Non-Governmental Organisations on the Performance of Public Tasks: Legal AspectsThe activity of NGOs is an expression of the development of civil society, directed at functioning independently from state institutions. The autonomy of this activity should not be treated as competing with the state, but rather as supporting it and complementing its functions. Civil society strives to satisfy the needs of its members and feels responsible for their fate. In this way the NGOs may work in the so-called external sphere of administration. However, the functioning in the internal sphere is also possible – in this case public administration bodies transfer some of their competences to NGOs which “step into” position of public administration in this domain. is study focuses on the legal aspects of both types of this co-operatio
