- ItemRealizacja programu reprywatyzacji w Polscew latach 1989–2001 (aspekt polityczny i ideologiczny)(Wydawnictwo Naukowe WNPiD UAM w Poznaniu, 2004) Patkowski, KrzysztofReprivatization is one of the problems Polish politicians have failed to solve for 15 years. They developed nearly a score of drafts of reprivatization acts, none of which has been implemented. Election campaigns and government changes most frequently obstructed them. This happened to the draft developed by Hanna Suchocka’s government, later withheld by the next government of Waldemar Pawlak and the coalition of SLD-PSL (Democratic Left Alliance – Polish People’s Party). The coalition AWS-UW (Solidarity Election Action – Freedom Union) was very likely to launch reprivatization. Although it had the required majority in the Parliament, the political disputes inside the Solidarity Election Action prevented reprivatization. For the Solidarity Election Action with Marian Krzaklewski, general endowment was to ensure the victory to the party and himself in the next parliamentary and presidential elections respectively. As a result of the internal disputes, the reprivatization act was vetoed by President Kwaśniewski and the elections marked the AWS’s collapse. After Poland’s accession to the European Union former property owners have increasingly been demanding to restore the seized property, yet the issue does not seem likely to be solved soon and the very idea of reprivatization dissolves in political and ideological controversies.
- ItemMienie i nadzór samorządu stanowego wsi piastowskiej(Wydawnictwo Naukowe WNPiD UAM w Poznaniu, 2004) Waniewska, MagdalenaAs a result of expansion of the feudal system, as well as due to an intensified process of colonization and economical and legal transformations, at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries there were formed estate representative institutions. The local estate countryside administration was established as a direct consequence of the fact that some of the rights of the landowners were transferred onto communal units. The functioning of the local countryside administration was limited by law and monitored by the state authorities. Its salaries resulted partly from the concession on the part of a land proprietor, partly from the contemporaneous customary case law. The local countryside administration did not own any property as such; it could only be lent under the law of common use. The control of the local countryside authorities was based on a legally sanctioned constraint. The criterion for the supervision of this institution was its compliance with the legal norms, particularly with a location document of a given country commune.
- ItemRegulacje prawne postępowania antydumpingowego w Polsce w świetle przystąpienia do Unii Europejskiej(Wydawnictwo Naukowe WNPiD UAM w Poznaniu, ) Jorasz, AlicjaPassing of the Law of December 11, 1997 on protection of the Polish customs zone from the merchandise imported at dumping prices (Journal of Law 1997, no. 157, section 1028) raised considerable controversy among economists and stimulated a discussion on the principle of anti-dumping regulations coming into force as Poland was about to access the European Union. The paper discusses the Polish anti-dumping regulations stipulated in the above Law of December 11, 1997 that were binding until the accession day and the changes introduced with respect to anti-dumping regulations following Poland’s accession to the European Union.
- ItemGrupa Agora – poszukiwanie drogi rozwoju(Wydawnictwo Naukowe WNPiD UAM w Poznaniu, 2004) Ząbkowicz, JerzyThe transformation of Polish society and economy over the last two decades is also reflected in the process of the press market becoming mature. The segments of this market transform assuming a strong market economy character. New dominating players emerge representing both domestic and – increasingly often – foreign capital. The foundation and expansion of the Agora Group, the publisher of „Gazeta Wyborcza” inspires peculiar common interest (or even fascination). It is usually presented rather one-sidedly as a Polish version of an American „rags-to-riches” story. The organizational and financial aspect of the Group operations is usually neglected or oversimplified. This paper was written in the first quarter of 2004. It tries to show the publisher of „Gazeta Wyborcza” not with respect to its media mission but to its economic aspect. The management board of this business outlines and tries to implement a certain strategy. However, in doing so they apparently fail to avoid considerable errors and threats.
- ItemProces pokojowy w Irlandii Północnej w latach 90-tych i perspektywy uregulowania konfliktu(Wydawnictwo Naukowe WNPiD UAM w Poznaniu, 2004) Wróbel, MarzenaAt the beginning the paper presents a brief historic outline of the conflict. It describes the strife of the two communities of Northern Ireland that date back to the division of the island in 1921. It also reminds the sources of the conflict that originated with the English conquest of the Celtic Ireland of 13th century. Next, the author analyzes the stages of the peace process in the ‘90s of 20th century, including the elections to the local Assembly of November 2003. In conclusions the author observes that the biggest problem is the popularity of extremist political platforms in the society. This conclusion is not entirely pessimistic, though. The author hopes that the community of Ulster and its political representatives have become so fatigued with the decades of strife that they may finally choose peace this time.
