A broad understanding of ethnolinguistics has been adopted. It is defined as anthropological-cultural linguistics with a cognitivist orientation.

Cyrillo-Methodian Papers

Zeszyty Cyrylo-Metodiańskie

Frequency: 1 issues / Country: Poland

Zeszyty Cyrylo-Metodiańskie (Cyrillo-Methodian Papers) is an annual academic journal published by the Maria Curie-Sklodowska University in Lublin. The journal is dedicated to promoting up-to-date research in language, literature and culture in the fields of Slavic and Balkan studies. Its long-term ambition is to provide a platform for scholarly debates and the popularization of the widely understood Cyrillo-Methodian heritage, foreign Bulgarian studies and the Polish-Bulgarian cultural dialogue. The Editorial team welcomes scholarly or polemical articles and reviews written in English or all Slavic languages.

The journal was established in 2012 as an outcome of annual international conferences in Slavistics held in Lublin and the town of Biała Podlaska. As a result of the Cyril and Methodius in the Language and Culture of Slavs conference series several collective volumes were published. The newly formed Editorial team, initially consisting of members of the UMCS Department of Slavic Linguistics, accepted the challenge of switching from collective volumes to an open access academic journal as a major task for editors in the field of Slavic studies.

The Editorial team recognizes the constant community need for a high-quality platform for foreign Bulgarian studies. From the beginning we adopted a diamond open access philosophy based on the concept of freely available research and global exchange of expertise. This is in full accordance with our aim of reaching a wide international audience.

Due to its non-commercial nature the journal relies heavily on building a strong community of readers, authors and reviewers. Advertising, financing and donations are considered options, however they do not affect the journal’s aims and policies. We believe that research findings in humanities should be open and free of charge with contributors able to share their analyses and expertise without any national, racial, gender, religious, worldview or language restrictions.

Although we are striving to be a niche journal, we share the conviction that wider comparative research in Slavic and Balkan studies is an invaluable part of today’s scholarly activities in the humanities. This is why the Editorial team has always been open to new approaches towards the field subjects, as well as to independent views of foreign academics on separate national traditions.

The official title of the journal is Zeszyty Cyrylo-Metodiańskie with the form Cyrillo-Methodian Papers also in use. The title does not suggest exclusive focus on Cyrillo-Methodian studies or paleoslavistics; it refers to the brother saints as patrons of the Slavic world and co-patrons of Europe.

The Legal Status of Local Government in Poland

Rechtsstatus der territorialen Selbstverwaltung in Polen

Author(s): Jarosław Kostrubiec,Mirosław Karpiuk / Language(s): German

Keywords: Local Government; Law of Local Government; Poland;

Das Buch drückt den Standpunkt der Autoren in den von ihnen diskutierten Aspekten der Funktionsweise der polnischen territorialen Selbstverwaltung aus. Die Monografie umfasst folgende Fragestellungen, die zugleich ihre Kapitel darstellen: Das Wesen der territorialen Selbstverwaltung; Tätigkeitsbereich der territorialen Selbstverwaltung; Die Behörden der territorialen Selbstverwaltung; Die Akte des Ortsrechts der territorialen Selbstverwaltung; Das Vermögen der territorialen Selbstverwaltung; Die Finanzverwaltung der territorialen Selbstverwaltung; Verbände, Vereinigungen, Vereine und Vereinbarungen der territorialen Selbstverwaltung; Aufsicht über die Tätigkeit der Organe der territorialen Selbstverwaltung. Nach 40 Jahren Unterbrechung wurde auf der Grundlage der Kommunalreform von 1990 die Institution der territorialen Selbstverwaltung in Polen wiederhergestellt. Als nächstes wurde infolge der sog. „zweiten“ Reform von 1998 die Selbstverwaltung auf der Ebene des Kreises und der Woiwodscha gebildet. Dank dieser beiden grundsätzlichen Etappen der Selbstverwaltungsreform ist es gelungen, ein auf dem Prinzip der Subsidiarität gestütztes System der öffentlichen Gewalt aufzubauen, das europäische Standards erfüllt. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt sich die Frage, ob nach 25-jährigem Bestehen der wiederhergestellten territorialen Selbstverwaltung nicht die Zeit angebrochen ist, Veränderungen einzuleiten? Die Autoren sind der Überzeugung, dass man die gestellte Frage bejahen sollte, unter der Voraussetzung jedoch, dass der polnische Gesetzgeber den Weg der „Evolution“ und nicht der „Revolution“ wählt.
