No full textCitizen and political party – Introduction to the analysis of the Platforma Obywatelska and Prawo i Sprawiedliwość
No full textThe problem of both political and sociological backgrounds is often the quality and level of political civic competence. They point out their importance for the development and consolidation of democracy as well as the quality of public life. Research on this topic is accompanied by a lack of interest in politics, knowledge of its basic mechanisms, limited social trust, and marginal participation, which may be the turnout in individual elections. At the same time, there is a lack of reflection on the sources of such behaviors, assuming (usually a priori) that they are in the historical experience, mentality, tradition or political culture prevailing in a given society. However, the observation of public life makes it possible to argue that the quality and level of political civic competences largely depend on the practice of political parties with regard to citizens in terms of both conventional and unconventional participation. Of course, it is difficult not to notice the interplay of political parties and citizens, one can even risk the notion that the "quality of citizenship" depends on the rulers, and these reflect the "quality of citizenship.

No full textIndividualism and civic participation an essay on a certain way of thinking about citizenship
Full text linkIndividualism, although inherently contrary to the spirit of collectivism, is the basis for the development of modern civic attitudes. For the most part, individualism determines the degree of interest in politics and the quality of de- mocracy. Individualism is also the basis for the development of civil society, as the unique characteristics of each individual impact the civil society dynamics, quality and impact on those in power
Czy możliwy jest w Polsce liberalizm lewicowy?
No full textThe liberal trend which emerged in Poland was not a doctrine deeply rooted in social awareness. Quite the opposite, its essence and meaning were alien to Polish tradition or hardly recognizable. The interpretation of the concept of freedom only in the negative sense was imposed on the public opinion by the elites. Thus, as new ideas were adopted without any reflection, the state’s function was reduced to the role of a “night watchman”, and citizens were to adapt to it. Both sides did not enter into discussion on the possible creation of the role of the state as an institution involved in the social sphere. This seems to have been the main cause of the failure of the liberals and of the values they advocated in the public space. The Polish model of liberalism was not on the path towards modernity, but – by treating values selectively – it represented the anachronistic approach to liberal ideas. Polish liberals forgot that in the second half of the 20th century, the welfare state came into being owing to the recognition of Berlin’s notion of positive freedom and his unquestioning attitude to the plurality of values. Unfortunately, these two elements did not appear (or appeared too rarely) in the liberals’ concepts, so left-wing liberalism could not develop in Poland, and its foundations in the economic sphere were taken over by political options other than liberal ones.Liberalizm, który pojawił się w Polsce, nie był doktryną zakorzenioną w świadomości społecznej. Wręcz przeciwnie, jego istota i znaczenie były dla polskiej tradycji obce bądź mało rozpoznawalne. Interpretacja idei wolności tylko w sensie negatywnym została narzucona opinii społecznej przez elity. Tym samym bezrefleksyjność przyjmowanych idei usytuowała relację pomiędzy państwem a obywatelem – państwo miało pełnić jedynie rolę „nocnego stróża”, a obywatel miał się do niej dostosować. W przeciwnym wypadku mógłby się narazić na śmieszność bądź podejrzenie o roszczeniowość. Obie strony nie podjęły dyskusji nad możliwym kreowaniem roli państwa jako instytucji zaangażowanej w sferę socjalną. I wydaje się, że to w zasadzie była główna przyczyna przegranej liberałów i wartości przez nich głoszonych w przestrzeni publicznej. Bowiem reprezentowany w Polsce liberalizm nie zmierzał ku nowoczesności, a jedynie wybiórczo traktując wartości, sprzyjał jego anchronicznemu rozumieniu, zapominając, że w 2. połowie XX wieku państwo dobrobytu powstało dzięki uznaniu dla berlinowskiej idei wolności pozytywnej i jego bezdyskusyjnemu stanowisku względem pluralizmu wartości. Te dwa elementy niestety nie pojawiły się (albo pojawiały się zbyt rzadko) w koncepcjach liberałów, przez co nie wykształcił się w Polsce liberalizm lewicowy, a jego podstawy w sferze ekonomicznej przejęte zostały przez opcje polityczne obce liberalnym
Values and political values in the shaping of social security
No full textSocial security has become in recent years an important element in the discourse about the quality of life on individualism and social group. Can not be successful introduction of social security without development elements, even in the from of human capital. This however has a poor design possibilities, if the public is desprived of the Community dimension of security, which is an integral part of social capital
Political Elites and Their Role in Society in the Context of Constitutional Civic Values
No full textW powszechnej świadomości elity polityczne mają znaczny wkład zarówno dla kształ-towania postaw obywatelskich, jak i konsolidacji demokracji. Stąd bardzo istotne jest źródło ich rekrutacji, autorytet jakim cieszą się (bądź nie) w społeczeństwie, a wreszcie wyznaczane kierunki jego rozwoju, zasad ustroju państwa i podejmowanych działań na rzecz partycypacji obywatelskiej i politycznej. Jakość elit, ich kondycja z jednej strony jest odzwierciedleniem stanu społeczeństwa, z drugiej jednak strony stanowi źródło wzor-ców postępowania dla obywateli. Można zaryzykować tezę, że elity polityczne stanowią drogowskaz zachowań politycznych, których źródło tkwi w wartościach obywatelskich określonych nie tylko w kulturze politycznej Polaków, ale także w Konstytucji Rzeczy-pospolitej Polskiej z 2 kwietnia 1997 r.In the general consciousness, political elites make a significant contribution to both shaping civic attitudes and consolidating democracy. Hence it is very important source of their recruitment, the authority enjoyed by (or not) in society, and finally determined the directions of its development, the principles of the political system and the measures taken to civic and political participation. The quality of the elite, their condition, on the one hand, is a reflection of the state of society, but on the other hand, it is a source of best practices for citizens. One can risk the thesis that political elites are a signpost of politi-cal behavior, whose source lies in civic values defined not only in the political culture of Poles, but also in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of April 2, 1997
Obywatel a partie polityczne – wstęp do analizy na przykładzie Platformy Obywatelskiej RP i Prawa i Sprawiedliwości
