    The Government Plenipotentiary for Repatriation

    No full text
    The position of the Government Plenipotentiary for Repatriation, as an organ of the state administration, is rather specific and untypical. The function of the Plenipotentiary ought to be situated somewhere between a political post and an administrative one. Analyses of the legal solution in this respect lead to the conclusion that the organ in question is invested with the majority of characteristics attributed to central organs of state administration. It does, however, in view of the fact that this function is presently held by a secretary of state, possess a political character. What was decisive about the establishment of the post of Government Plenipotentiary for Repatriation was obviously the criteria related to increasing effectiveness and effectivity of actions, as well as the wish to accentuate the significance of repatriation among priorities of the immigration policy

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    The permit to settle under Article 52 paragraph 5 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland

    Poland is a participant in the ongoing process of globalisation, of which one of the characteristic features is a greater movement of people. Also, Poland’s accession to the European Union has brought about a trend called Europeanisation, current-ly being observed in the administrative law as well. This, in turn, has resulted in a growing number of related legislative acts that govern the administrative and legal status of foreigners. And yet, despite this extensive legislation on the subject, not all procedural questions have now been answered. The core of the analysis presented in this paper is the decision on the permit to settle, delivered in the context of constitutional rights provided for in Article 52 Paragraph 5 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. Pursuant to its provisions, a person whose Polish origin has been confi rmed in accordance with applicable law may settle permanently in Poland. However, an analysis of substantive adminis-trative law suggests that in the current legal system there is no specifi c regulation upon which a public body could base its decision in the above matter. Thus, unless the Constitution provides otherwise, its provisions will be directly applicable. Con-sequently, a decision permitting settlement will be an example of a unique, direct application of constitutional provisions. In practice, this means that both, individuals and administrative bodies, fi nd themselves in a diffi cult legal position. The main purpose of this paper is to present the specifi c features of a settlement permit and to identify the procedure leading to granting such permit.It has been concluded that a decision to settle is a bound decision, grounded in the provisions of the Act on Foreigners, the Charter of the Pole and the Repatriation Act. Because of the specifi cs of the proceedings and the resulting decisions, the ad-ministrative body must rely for support on the above acts, taking into account the specifi city of the matter. Currently, administrative bodies must base their decisions directly on the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic Poland, and will have to do so until appropriate legal solutions have been adopted

    Poszukiwanie wzorców dla funkcjonowania administracji publicznej oraz ich rozpoznawanie jest podstawowym zadaniem administratywistów. Od początku powstania nowożytnego państwa badacze zastanawiali się nad tym, jak skuteczniej i najlepiej administrować, na jakich założeniach powinno opierać czy jak właściwie ukształtować potrzebne dla funkcjonowania państwa instytucje. Przed kilkoma laty dyskusja nad tematem dobrej administracji rozpoczęła się niemal jednocześnie w związku z powstaniem Karty praw podstawowych UE oraz pracami nad Europejskim Kodeksem Dobrej Administracji. Zgodnie z redakcją art. 41 Karty: Każdy ma prawo do tego, aby jego sprawy były rozpatrywane przez instytucje i organy Unii Europejskiej bezstronnie, rzetelnie i w rozsądnym terminie. Trzeba nadmienić jednak, że pojęcie standardów dobrej administracji posiada szerszy zakres niż ten zawarty w Karcie praw podstawowych UE. Zagadnienie dobrej administracji posiada fundamentalne znaczenie dla określenia relacji administracja publiczna - jednostka (podmioty administrowane). Głównym celem badawczym postawionym przez autora monografii jest próba odpowiedzi na pytanie czy postanowienia materialnego prawa administracyjnego odpowiadają podstawowym standardom dobrej administracji

    Power of attorney in administrative procedures: General principles and credibility assessment

    No full text
    A party’s proxy often plays a very important role in administrative proceedings, including in the course of applying for international protection. The institution of a proxy is closely related to the need to strengthen the position of a party to proceedings vis-à-vis the public administration. One has to fully agree with the statement that ‘the right to support and representation is recognised as one of the canons of administrative proceedings in view of European standards’,5 and the right to appoint an attorney guarantees ‘a fuller realisation of the principle of active participation of a party in administrative proceedings’
