Author(s): Anna Bogucka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2012

One of the main targets of Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union was to reach an agreement regarding unitary patent protection. However, although numerous attempts were made the issue remained unsolved. EU Member States reached a provisional agreement on the two draft regulations implementing enhanced cooperation in the area of unitary patent protection, but compromise on agreement for the creation of a Unified Patent Court was not achieved. The works on Unitary Patent Protection lasted within enhanced cooperation of 25 EU Member States. The unitary protection was to be created by so-called patent package built of two regulations, adopted by union institutions introducing enhanced cooperation on unitary patent protection system and with respect of translations and international agreement on creating Unified Patent Court. The agreements stipulate establishment of European patent with unitary effect applicable on territory of all EU Member States participating in enhanced cooperation. The achievements of Polish Presidency in Europe in works on unitary patent protection should not be criticized although on domestic ground not only should the Polish stand and accepted offers but also the commitment of Polish society in establishing rules be refused.

Apolityczność policji. Nakaz prawny czy zobowiązanie moralne władzy państwowej?

Author(s): Michał Otrębski / Language(s): Polish Issue: Nr spec./2008

The author aims to explicate the term ‘apolitical Police’ and to expand on the postulate that the Police as a state agency should remain apolitical. He analyses the matter in various perspectives, including the informal support given to a political party, personal politics in appointments to positions of power, re-organisations leading to a shift in the balance of power between political parties, pretend activities aimed at achieving publicity goals, discretionary interpretation of targets achieved, etc. The process of making the Police political is however not affected through unlawful acts, but rather by means of generating connections and interrelationships which result from faulty legal provisions. The situation may be improved by perfecting the mechanisms of democracy and by applying high moral standards in politics.

Rzeczywistość prawna i społeczna w kontekście realizacji paradygmatu normalizacji życia osób z niepełnosprawnością

Author(s): Joanna Konarska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2020

In modern times, disability has become not only a medical and psychological problem, but also a social one. More and more people in the world are becoming people with disabilities. This state of affairs requires care for the rights of persons with disabilities in the same way as for the rights of every human being. Unfortunately, simply establishing the law is not enough to normalize the lives of people with disabilities. Changes in social attitudes are necessary because they are conditioned by prejudices and, above all, by the lack of reliable knowledge. The normalization of life of people with disabilities is based on the assumption of full participation in all life trends. However, the law does not guarantee changes in the human mentality. Therefore, a joint effort of specialists of different disciplines and the good will of all people is needed to normalize the situation of people with disabilities.

Sovereignty, Nationalism , Populism

Author(s): Jeremy Rabkin / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

Nationalists do not identify themselves with one particular political system, but they aim to create and sustain sovereign nation states. There is no doubt that European Union poses a threat to the sovereignty in a traditional sense due to the transfer of executive authority from the national parliaments to the amorphous supranational structure. It should be noted that United States have never acceded any organization with independent legislative power. Moreover, advocating the nation states does not have to go together with nationalism, while the latter not always occurs combined with the variously defined populism. Populism can put on different forms. In Poland and Hungary populists have majorities in respective parliaments and are strongly affiliated with traditional institutions. Donald Trump gained support thanks to the creation of an image of an angry ‘ordinary fellow’, which citizens disdained by the elites could relate to. He was also attracting interest, because he ignored the rules of political correctness. But Trump’s rhetoric devaluates the most crucial institutions of the American political system. Furthermore, both Trump and his supporters gravitate towards conspiracy theories and the primacy of common-sense attitude, denying the value of expert’s opinions. Similar phenomena are taking place in Europe. Although there is no one consistent definition of ‘populism’, one could say that populism is a symptom of frustration melting into anger that is a threat to the wholesome nationalism and enduring sovereignty. It does not constitute a reform programme, and the ideological void is filled by demagogues, however posing as guardians protecting the “disinherited majority” from the amorphous “establishment”.

The service of police officers and soldiers at the Polish-Belarusian border during the 2021–2022 crisis

Author(s): Krzysztof Janik,Andrzej Skowroński / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2022

In recent years, the question of population migration has become more present in the Polish social and political life. One of the examples of this phenomenon was the set of events at the turn of 2021 and 2022, when thousands of people tried to illegally cross the Polish-Belarusian border and enter the Republic of Poland. The state reacted by reinforcing border services, deploying soldiers and police officers to serve on the border. The circumstances of the deployment, conditions of service and related impressions of participants became the subject of research, the results of which are presented in this article. Most of our respondents were deployed to the border by order and were scarcely or completely unprepared to the service. The social and living conditions during service are evaluated as rather good, although leisure activities were poorly organised. Among the feelings and impressions from service, the most highly appreciated were the team atmosphere and cooperation and the attitude of superiors. Nevertheless, what prevails is a moderate dissatisfaction with the job, with a vast majority of participants unwilling to repeat such service.

The variability of the external environment affects the changes taking place in the internal environment of the organization (enterprise). One of the factors that must be taken into account in the development of an organization is security. Ensuring the security of the organization requires having a security manager who will implement the process of a permanent stable functioning of the organization in a changing environment. It should be remembered that security can be considered from various points of view, not only as a state of war or peace in a given country, but also as a state of threat from competitors, etc. The aim of the study is to present a cultural model of a security manager with a factor of flexibility. The model is the result of theoretical and conceptual research by the author of this study, which enriches the discipline of management and quality sciences
