In the process of searching for nearly half a century of new possibly effective forms of satisfying the health needs of societies, which have been undertaken with limited success in all countries of the world, an exceptional position should be attributed to the experience in the Netherlands. There are many reasons: not only the success of the changes carried out, not only the concept of a guaranteed health benefits basket confirmed by practice, not only the rarely used mechanism of competition between payers, but above all the consistency in the long-term preparation of a comprehensive change in the health system. At the same time, the constant dialogue with the society was not neglected, which allowed it to treat the introduced changes as its own.

Cooperation in public administration, as a form of entering into relations with other subjects, may have many forms: it may include cooperation between administrative organs as well as be-tween the public administration and external entities and take different procedural forms. The subject of the following article is an analysis of various possible forms of cooperation of public administration in the procedure of lawmaking of local law, meaning a widely understood legislative cooperation. Taken into consideration were both aspects connected with the public administration cooperation with external entities (legislative initiative, consultations, opinions) as well as the internal structure of the administration, defined as legislative cooperation (administrative agreement, communal unions, opinions, reconciliation, confirmation by another administrative organ). Administrative cooperation, including also lawmaking, is, as a rule, a positive occurrence which has a chance of improving the quality and efficiency of created law. Unfortunately, the current legal regulation of the forms of this cooperation is insufficient, which is illustrated by the examples given in the article.

The paper concerns the model of collaboration of public authorities on the grounds of the Emergency Management Act of 26 April 2007. This act regulates the tasks of the public administration, The Armed Forces and the obligations of the critical infrastructure owners and possessors. The paper characterizes and evaluates the rules, scopes, forms and procedures of undertaking the common actions within the field of civil emergency planning. The model is worthy of analysis because the aim of undertaking the actions is of high importance to the society. Another reason is the diversity of bodies involved and the variety of links connecting them in course of collaboration. It should be emphasized that these links connect the public administration organs both on the central and the territorial level, in the horizontal and vertical arrangement, and involve both organs of government and organs of self-government.

The catalog of entities cooperating with each other in the implementation of tasks in the field of health care is diverse. It includes entities belonging to both public authorities and private entities. The conditions and scope of providing medical services are the result of cooperation between the administration and the health service. On 24 April 2011, Directive 2011/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 on the application of patients’ rights in cross-border healthcare entered into force. The prospect of an effective cooperative administration has therefore become not only national, but also Community-European, and even global. The aim of this article is to discuss the obstacles, current legal status and to formulate conclusions regarding de lege ferenda legislative solutions in the effective implementation of tasks facing the administration cooperating in the field of health care.

The attack of the Russian Federation’s troops on Ukraine, which took place on February 24, 2022, led to the outbreak of a war, which caused civilians to flee their homes and leave their country in search of safety, protection and humanitarian aid. In the first week of the war, over a million refugees from Ukraine, mainly women with children and the elderly, crossed Ukraine’s border with its neighbor countries; a large group of the refugees arrived in Poland. Piotr Zalewski’s aim in this article is to review the main legislative and organizational activities undertaken by the Polish government and the local government administration in terms of providing institutional assistance and protection for the refugees. Zalewski also discusses the activities of the uniformed services, which has consisted in identifying risks and threats and ensuring the personal safety of Ukrainian refugees.

The subject of the article is an analysis of the issue of cooperation between public administration and the press – its legal basis as well as its current condition in the reality of social life. The press is an entity operating in the administrative environment, cooperation with which may support carrying out of public administration tasks. The argument for such a perspective in analyzing this issue is the fact that the aims of both entities’ activities – public administration and the press – are essentially the same; it is the public interest and the welfare of citizens. Therefore, the cooperation between public administration and the press may become an instrument for improving the organization and functioning of the administrative apparatus, strengthening its transparency and the confidence of citizens in the activities of public administration. The evaluation of this cooperation is directly related to the practice of public administration and the level of freedom of the press in Poland.

Public procurement is an area of public administration intended to serve the common good in economic growth. Ensuring efficient and competitive procedures is supposed to enable the optimal use of public funds despite increasingly difficult social or budgetary conditions. The professionalisation of public procurement should be an effective means of achieving these objectives. The changes introduced to the public procurement system have highlighted the supportive role of the President of the Public Procurement Office in activities aimed at more effective conduct of tender procedures. He has become the primary entity responsible for disseminating knowledge about public procurement. The conduct of actions aiming at permanent professionalisation will not be possible without the cooperation of the President of the Public Procurement Office with other entities involved in forming the public procurement system, only some of which perform tasks within the scope of public administration. In contrast, others are located outside the public administration structure. They include, among others: public administration bodies, administrative establishments, associations, universities or entrepreneurs. The necessity of undertaking wider and broader cooperation with entities from outside public administration is justified by a new look at the essence of public administration. It serves – first of all – the implementation of the common good. This translates into going beyond the framework of a classical approach to cooperation.

The aim of this article is to describe problems in the formulation of policy to increase the professionalism of the Indonesian bureaucracy. These problems derive from the retirement policy of civil servants in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The findings show that the level of substantive acceptability of regulation on the retirement age of civil servants is very high, but this is not necessarily the most effective impetus for increasing bureaucratic professionalism in Indonesia. The retirement age means that every civil servant must leave the bureaucratic structure at a certain point, even though their competence, commitment and enthusiasm to continue their work may remain very high, and the state may still need their services. The enactment of a retirement age law that is too strict has inhibited the possibility of considering other variables to support the increase in the professionalism of bureaucracy. The consistent implementation of the retirement age actually hinders the increase of bureaucratic professionalism in Indonesia.

In our study, we present the new amendments to the Fundamental Law of Hungary, which significantly broaden the definition of a state of danger. The reason for the amendment is the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, which has led to a humanitarian situation unprecedented since the Second World War and has changed the economic situation in Europe. The aim is essentially to be able to develop effective, rapid national responses to the consequences of international economic changes. The amendment to the Fundamental Law of Hungary allows the Government to declare a state of danger in the event of war, armed conflict, or humanitarian disaster in a neighboring country so that all necessary means are available to assist, support and accommodate people fleeing the situation and to prevent the adverse economic effects of the situation and mitigate the consequences. The study describes in detail the changes to the concept of the state of danger following the amendments of the Fundamental Law of Hungary and also when the emergency was introduced in practice. The authors also draw attention to the reasons for the Tenth Amendment to the Fundamental Law of Hungary and present other types of special legal orders.

In the modern age, the Republic of Serbia is developing a policy of multiculturalism in which minority self-government and cultural autonomy are important pillars. The values of this policy, which correspond to European standards for the protection of national minorities, are enshrined in the country's Constitution, two basic laws and countless other laws and regulations. However, twenty years after the implementation of such a policy, a high ethnic distance has been maintained in Serbia and there is no trust between ethnic groups. The social reality in Serbia corresponds to the sum of majority and many minority monocultural policies. Faced with mutual bad experiences and waves of populism, members of political elites (majorities and minorities) have developed a policy of segregative multiculturalism in which cultural autonomy and minority self-government are instruments of political centers. Citizens belonging to national minorities are offered a centralized system of minority self-government that addresses voters, not people whose interest is to protect and preserve their ethnic, linguistic and cultural peculiarities. In particular, outside the “concern” of the state and minority self-government are citizens whose identity is rooted in multiple ethnicities.
