Theology and the public arena from a Polish point of view

2018

Jednym z ważnych aktualnych problemów teologicznych jest miejsce teologii w przestrzeni publicznej. Wiążą się z tym pytania o doświadczenia i problemy, ale także możliwości i wyzwania, które mają dość mocne zabarwienie kontekstualne.

Na początku, w oparciu o refleksje polskich teologów, został przedstawiony związek przestrzeni publicznej z naturą teologii i zadaniami, jakie ma pełnić w Kościele i społeczeństwie. Szczególnym rysem charakterystycznym jest w tym względzie wymiar eklezjalny teologii. W dalszej kolejności zostały ukazane rodzaje przestrzeni publicznej, w których możliwa jest obecność t…

The formation of dominant voice in issue arenas

2011

Abstract The aim of the present study was to map out required changes to current stakeholder thinking in public relations (PR) research and practice for a better suited model for PR professionals. The concept of issue arenas (Luoma-aho & Vos 2009) was adopted for the future direction of stakeholder thinking.

Public Discourse on Human Trafficking in International Issue Arenas

2015

Abstract. The purpose of this study is to better understand how the complex problem of human trafficking is addressed in international debates. How the discussion about human trafficking develops and how it is debated ultimately influences how the decision-making process unfolds. In order to understand the formation of public policy and laws, therefore, it is important to study the debate that occurs prior to decision making. This analysis focuses on the narratives used by major, well-established human rights and political actors that argue for necessary actions to be undertaken — such as the formation of new policies and laws in the European Union — as an attempt to protect citizens of the…

The focus is on capturing the issue as it evolved over time, the actors and sentiments expressed, and the responses of the organization.
