Socjotechnika antykonsumpcji w warunkach globalizacji
Get PDFThe efficiency of activities related to the sociotechnics of anti-consumption is crucial to maintain the stability of a modern democratic system. This is of course, if we assume that the present direction of changes which establish the social and economic factors of life of societies (mainly the polarization of material status of various social groups) will be maintained. If the present tendency was to be reversed the activities related to the sociotechnics of anti-consumption would not be necessary, at least to the extent required at present. Then, the anti-consumption attitude would be likely to return to its original form, and it would again become the expression of protest against the social order, or a whim of elite groups.The efficiency of activities related to the sociotechnics of anti-consumption is crucial to maintain the stability of a modern democratic system.

Chosen Aspects of the Implementation of International Humanitarian Law in Poland
Get PDFAnalizując udział Polski w realizacji międzynarodowych norm ochrony i prewencji w sytuacji konfliktu zbrojnego zauważyć można pewne ogólne trendy. Będąc członkiem społecznooeci międzynarodowej, Polska brała wraz z innymi państwami zachodnimi udział w procesie rozwoju międzynarodowego prawa humanitarnego od odzyskania niepodległości po pierwszej wojnie światowej. Na proces ten ogromny wpływ wywierał jednak ZSSR. Znacząca stagnacja trwała aż do konca lat siedemdziesiątych, ponieważ wszyscy członkowie bloku niechętnie podejmowali jakiekolwiek zobowiązania międzynarodowe, zwłaszcza w sferze militarnej. Jedną z licznych oznak tego stosunku niech będzie polityczna decyzja o nieumieszczeniu w polskim kodeksie karnym zbrodni wojennych jako odrębnego przestępstwa. Polityczny przełom w latach dziewięćdziesiątych oznaczał także odrodzenie międzynarodowego prawa humanitarnego w Polsce. Wprawdzie wiele już osiągnięto, jednak wiele jeszcze zostało do zrobienia, żeby wspomnić chociażby ratyfikację Traktatu Ottawskiego z 1997 r., odłożoną do 2015 r.Analizując udział Polski w realizacji międzynarodowych norm ochrony i prewencji w sytuacji konfliktu zbrojnego zauważyć można pewne ogólne trendy.

Wpływ rozszerzenia wschodniego na rynek pracy w UE
No full textThe EU enlargement involving the Central and Eastern Europe states set a precedent, as never before in the history of European integration were so many states admitted. On May 1, 2004 the European Fifteen was joined by ten new states thus forming a group of 25 states. The objective of this paper is to present the desirable direction for Polish macroeconomic policy on the basis of the experience provided by integrationist processes, with particular emphasis on the experience of Ireland, Greece, Portugal and Spain. The main task of both the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ Union is to take advantage of the opportunities that result from this enlargement. Joint activities and policies should aim at the achievement of the EU strategic aim, established in Lisbon, i.e. at taking advantage of the technological change to achieve the maximum competitiveness and rapid growth pace of the EU economy so that appropriate conditions are created to provide full employment and increase the extent of regional cohesion in the EU.The EU enlargement involving the Central and Eastern Europe states set a precedent, as never before in the history of European integration were so many states admitted.

Augustianizm Benedykta XVI a oddolna nauka społeczna Kościoła
Get PDFFor several decades Joseph Ratzinger has been an influential co-architect of the grass-roots social teaching of the Church. Since his nomination as the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith he has also become one of the most important demiurges of the top-down sources of this teaching. J. Ratzinger, or Pope Benedict XVI, compared himself to a ‘pack donkey’, who faithfully and persistently follows Christ. It seems that making reference to Bishop Hippona, the Bishop of Rome excessively underestimates the perversity of ‘God’s sheep’ listening to him. The works of J. Ratzinger lack appealing warnings against the theopolitical reception of Augustian thought.For several decades Joseph Ratzinger has been an influential co-architect of the grass-roots social teaching of the Church.

Rozumienie Rosji jako zadanie dla teorii polityki
Get PDFIt is frequently beyond many researchers’ abilities to understand Russia, whether as a whole or only a part. This can be exemplified by many Sovietologists’ failure to forecast the implosion of one of the greatest superpowers at the end of the 20th century. The present paper does not attempt to present a comprehensive discussion of all the possible categories that would facilitate understanding Russia. The latter can only be one’s goal and task and can never be wholly completed. The fundamental purpose of this text does not involve the comprehensive presentation of a range of issues which can never be presented in an exhaustive manner. It is much more important to show a certain way of thinking based on two prerequisites. Firstly, it is necessary to critically consider the semantic range of every word and every category used to explain any social phenomenon. Secondly, it is necessary to account for the territorial limitations (related to structure and awareness) of each notion.It is frequently beyond many researchers’ abilities to understand Russia, whether as a whole or only a part.

Analiza porównawcza służby cywilnej w Polsce i w instytucjach Unii Europejskiej (stan prawny – grudzień 2008 rok)
Get PDFThe civil services in Poland and EU institutions undergo similar processes. France (at the time of the 3rd Republic) was the cradle of civil service, therefore the administrative systems ofWestern Europe (and others) have sought examples there. The Polish model of civil service can be described as a mixed one, with the prevalence of regulations typical of a career model. In the career model the state is the master that employs a servant. Similar solutions are applied in France, Germany and Austria. They have been modified for the purpose of the specific functions which the civil service performs in EU institutions (a so-called closed career model). In the position system, particular authority is granted the civil servant’s employer rather than the state as a whole. A civil servant is employed in a particular position rather then in the civil service ‘in general’. The stability of employment and guarantee of remuneration are lower. The UK, Nordic countries and Italy apply solutions that are similar to this model.The civil services in Poland and EU institutions undergo similar processes.

Czy godność człowieka jest zasadą prawną?
No full textHuman dignity is at the same time a theological, philosophical and legal category. Subject literature emphasizes that the researchers into the issue of dignity derive it from religion or natural law. The notion of ‘human dignity’has recently become exceptionally important in the considerations of lawyers, particularly of those involved in European law, mainly the Community (Union) law, as well as in theological and philosophical circles. There are two reasons for that. On the one hand, it seems to be a consequence of the attention paid to ‘human dignity’ in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, where it is perceived as both a fundamental right and the source of all human rights. Secondly, the social teachings of the Catholic Church have started making reference to this notion.Human dignity is at the same time a theological, philosophical and legal category.
