Item AKCYZA W PRAWIE UNII EUROPEJSKIEJ I W PRAWIE STANÓW ZJEDNOCZONYCH AMERYKI PÓŁNOCNEJ(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2008) Mączyński, DominikThe paper compares excise duty regulations in the EU and US and also looks at its functioning in Poland. There are at least two reasons why such a comparison should be made. Firstly, excise constitutes a considerable source of inland revenue in EU members states, including Poland, as well as the federal and state budgets in the USA. Secondly, the legal acts that regulate excise duty in the EU and US belong to different categories of the source of law. In the US excise is regulated in federal and state legislation whereas in the EU excise regulations are contained in Community law and respective national legal systems. The analysis of those two shows that despite certain similarities, the regulation and collection of excise tax in Europe and the USA differs considerably.Item ARTYKUŁ 2 KODEKSU KARNEGO W ROLI WYZNACZNIKA PODMIOTU PRZESTĘPSTWA SKUTKOWEGO POPEŁNIONEGO PRZEZ ZANIECHANIE(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2008) Pohl, ŁukaszThe purpose of the deliberations presented in the paper is an attempt to properly identify the addressee of the sanctioning norm that underlies the so called consequential crime resulting from omission. It has been determined that under the currently binding provisions o f the penal code, key information in that respect is contained in the provisions o f article 2 o f the said code, and consequently that article plays the role of the starting indicator. Another important function o f that article in criminal law is its articulation o f the norm in the process o f reconstructing the sanctioning norms on which the so called consequential crime resulting from omission has been based.Item DZIENNIKARSTWO OBYWATELSKIE - PRÓBA SOCJOLOGICZNEGO OPISU(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2008) Drozdowski, RafałThe paper touches upon a new, at least in Poland, phenomenon known as citizen journalism. It is also treated as a pretext to carry out more general deliberations on the completely new challenges and dilemmas facing the contemporary citizen society. Citizen journalism is developing dynamically and seems to confirm the thesis about the vitality of citizen society. At the same time, however, the phenomenon o f citizen journalism prompts one to pose a number of new questions including such as: isn’t today’s citizen society being deliberately pushed to the Internet with the result that although its initiatives are conveyed globally, they also become merely niche ones; or is the Web 2.0 formula (on which most o f the examples o f citizen journalism are based) a chance to increase citizens autonomy;, or is it rather a vehicle of social self-supervision, and to what extent is citizen journalism an alternative to the existing, established media order.Item ETYKA LOBBYSTY-POLITYKA W UJĘCIU PORÓWNAWCZYM(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2008) Tokarczyk, RomanFirst glimpse at the lobbyist ethic shows that it is rooted in, inter alia, skepticism that accompanies the legal regulations of lobbying. The regulations that are binding in the US, despite their rather long tradition, have not succeeded to prevent scandals which every now and occur there. As a result, the public debate in the US as well as many other states concerns the need for a facility that would allow a clear and open process of decision making in democratic systems. Ethic dilemmas arise when the actions o f those who influence politicians challenge such fundamental democratic values as honesty and integrity, openness and the common good. The most unethical and illegal lobbying practice that impairs integrity is buying decisions of politicians that satisfy the lobbyist’s client. A possible manner in which honesty might be enforced would be to register and keep open contacts between lobbyists and politicians and report on them periodically. In the context o f the common good, the actions carried out by lobbyists resemble those of barristers. The latter, however, stand before and impartial judge, while the actions of lobbyists representing interests of influential groups are not monitored by those representing social interests.Item FUNKCJONOWANIE POMOCY SPOŁECZNEJ W POLSKICH MIASTACH(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2008) Woźniak, ZbigniewThe information obtained from the Local Authority System Analysis of the Association of Polish Cities for the period 2000-2006 indicates an increasing number of phenomena which lead to the worsening o f social security o f inhabitants of Polish towns and cities, and a constant growth o f the number of those who depend on social support. At the same time the value of social allowances is diminishing. The results o f the study into the above show that there is no direct chain o f causation between the funds allocated to social security payments in town budgets and the size of social security threats, or between the outlays on social support on the one hand and the social sphere threats and the wealth of a given town on the other. The relationship between the size of budget outlays, the financing of social support and social risk factors has been found to function much more satisfactorily in smaller towns. An analysis of the security allowances structure paid from municipal budgets that were subject of the study shows that apart from being very rigid, that structure has been for years dominated by different forms o f support to the result that it has only very slightly activated the resources o f the social support beneficiaries. Consequently, although many recipients of social allowances receive support, those payments are only stop-gap solutions, incapable of inducing a radical change in the social and economic situation of the beneficiaries. Therefore the risk o f losing social security continues and the system fails to encourage independence and taking one’s life in one’s hands. The fact that there are no ways to change the conditions that generate the reasons why social support might be required, may, in extreme cases, become an „incubator of inaptitude” because those who become beneficiaries of social care institutions return to them with the same or even grater needs or problems, constantly losing the feeling of social security, incapable o f taking care of themselves. This may lead, in turn, to their entering the spiral o f longterm poverty and helplessness (not to mention the quality of social care).Item IMPERIUM FORMALIZMU. Uwagi na marginesie książki M. Matczaka Summa iniuria. O błędzie formalizmu w stosowaniu prawa, Warszawa 2007.(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2008) Smolak, MarekItem INSTYTUCJONALNO-PRAWNE PODSTAWY WSPÓŁPRACY SAMORZĄDU WOJEWÓDZTWA Z RZĄDEM W ZAKRESIE POLITYKI REGIONALNEJ(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2008) Kokocińska, KatarzynaRegional policy is by law managed by the central government on the national level and by regional self-governments on the regional level. Collaboration between those organs requires a clearly defined system that will ensure legal grounds and institutions for adequate realisation o f the adopted regional policy. Those legal solutions must act as guarantees o f coherent activities carried out by public organs o f varied systems and competences as well as constitute safeguards of the sovereignty and independence o f self-governing local units. The analysis of the regulations presented in the paper leads to a conclusion that despite the seemingly important role that the legislator foresaw for regional self-governments, the state continues to exercise a key role in the regional policy those organs perform. This is mainly due to the fact that the responsibility for development at the national level vested to the Council o f Ministers also covers its activity in the regions. Neither the principles o f the development policy adopted in 2006, nor the Act on regional self-government offers a comprehensive mechanism that would ensure harmonious actions concerning regional policy decisions taken at the state and regional levels. Consequently, its realisation lacks coherence and fails to produce expected results.Item MANKAMENTY SYSTEMU WYBORCZEGO DO SEJMU RP NA TLE OSTATNICH DOŚWIADCZEŃ WYBORCZYCH(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2008) Strzałkowski, TomaszThe first part of the paper identifies the shortcomings o f the electoral law currently binding in Poland in respect of parliamentary (Seym) election. The observations have been based on the experience of the elections carried out in Poland in 2005 and 2007. It is suggested that the manner in which eligible voters are registered and how the vote is carried out outside Poland requires some modifications. Alternative forms o f voting should also be considered. As the recent election has shown, which has also been subsequently reflected in promises made by politicians to amend the respective law, new solutions to improve the system must be developed. Also the status o f international observers should be precisely clarified. In the author’s opinion changes are also needed in the regulations governing the election campaign, and, in particular, access to public media and electoral silence. The other part of the paper focuses on the assessment of the existing electoral system, showing how it may influence the results o f the elections. The major defects or shortcomings of the system have been identified. The role of large political parties in the electoral process and the significance of the position of a candidate on the electoral roll have been shown. Further, the importance of a proper relationship between the elector and the deputy has been signalled.Item NIERÓWNOŚCI DOCHODÓW GOSPODARSTW DOMOWYCH W POLSCE W LATACH 2000-2006(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2008) Aksman, EwaThe aim o f this paper is to analyse household incomes inequality in Poland. Household Budget Surveys carried out by the Central Statistical Office in 2000-2006 provided the source of data for the study. The Gini coefficient used to measure the disparity of income distribution in an empirical analysis has shown that the original income inequality increased by 9.32% and disposable income inequality increased by 7.53%. The most important reason for the increase in original income inequality was the difference in labour earnings, mainly in the private sector (a sharp increase in education premia was observed as well). The increase in original income inequality was also caused by such factors as: integration of Polish economy with the world economy, especially after Poland’s accession to the European Union, or the privatisation and liberalisation of the capital market. Disposable income disparities were lower than original income disparities, being a result of the redistributive effect o f social benefits and income tax. The highest disposable income was enjoyed by households of the self-employed and those with contract of employment. The biggest differences within-group inequality were noted in farmers households and households of the self-employed.Item O AKTUALNOŚCI POJĘCIA „KLASA SPOŁECZNA” W SPOŁECZEŃSTWIE I ANALIZACH SOCJOLOGICZNYCH(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2008) Żuk, PiotrThe paper is a review of arguments often encountered in social studies that a “social class” is a notion that is no longer relevant. The author presents his arguments to the contrary. The main thesis of the article is the defence of the validity and usefulness of a class analysis, which, especially under Polish circumstances, helps to explain the social reality. The theoretical reflections presented in the paper are supported by some empirical data that indicate the existence of a correlation between the social class from which an individual originates and the attitudes and social practice demonstrated by that person.Item POLSKA ZNOWU W SERCU EUROPY. JAKA POWINNA BYĆ POLSKA POLITYKA EUROPEJSKA?(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2008) Komorowski, BronisławItem PORÓWNANIE GOSPODAREK OPARTYCH NA WIEDZY W KRAJACH TRIADY(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2008) Puślecki, ŁukaszThe aim of the paper was to analyse the creation o f the Knowledge-Based Economy (KBE) in the triad of EU (EU15, EU25, EU27), US and Japan in 1995 and in 2007 (on the basis o f most recent data) using KAM 2007 methodology. The author compared the results obtained from the basic scoreboard estimation in 1995 and 2007 for the triad states, taking into account the Knowledge Economy Index (KEI) and the Knowledge Index (KI).Item PRÓBA OSZACOWANIA PROFILU INWESTORÓW PRYWATNYCH NA PODSTAWIE BADAŃ ATRAKCYJNOŚCI INWESTYCYJNEJ WOJEWÓDZTW(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2008) Guzik, BogusławRegional investment attractiveness was analysed on the basis of data obtained from the Independent Market Economy Institute (IBnGR) and information from the Central Statistical Office (GUS) on the amount of investment outlays per inhabitant in individual regions. Models of investment outlays in 12 sectors o f economy were estimated with regard to 7 areas of social and economic development. Linear, exponent and power models were taken into account. Next, on the basis o f the material significance indicators of individual development measures, the importance o f certain areas for investing in individual sectors of economy has been estimated. On that basis four basic investor profiles have been determined: a) “clean and quiet work” - those investing in: hotel industry, trading and property services; b) “gold diggers” - those investing in agriculture, education, construction and (to a large extent) transport; c) “stabilisation” - those investing in manufacturing industry; d) “a bit of risk and a bit of stabilisatibn” - those investing in financial services, health protection and social welfare at the same timeItem PRZEGLĄD PIŚMIENNICTWA(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2008) Kańduła, SławomirKatarzyna Wojtowicz, System opodatkowania nieruchomości w Polsce, Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej, Lublin 2007, ss. 245.Item PRZEGLĄD PIŚMIENNICTWA(Wydział Prawa i Administracji UAM, 2008) Zmierczak, MarekPrzyszłość dziedzictwa.
