Authority and Coordination
1995
There are many possible starting points for attempts to link authority with the coordination of human interactions: the most famous forerunner here is of course David Hume with his theory of justice. I will, however, start from a more recent classic. Herbert A. Simon’s Administrative Behaviour (1945, 2nd ed. 1957) includes an important theory for the role of authority. It is an obvious sign of the lack of communication between different branches and traditions in social theory that many jurists and political theorists emphasizing the coordinative functions of authority have paid no attention to Simon’s classical book.
Civil Justice in the Global Current Society
2017
The monopolization of the process model within the framework of Civil Justice has been a reality, especially in continental court systems, and found its raison d'etre in the social, political, economic and legal history of civilization. Civil justice was identified with the Process, even though it was not the only way to achieve it; but it was understood as the best one possible. This model of conflict resolution appeared as a static approach, linked to the idea of "public service", which is technically complex with certain formalities. The Process was progressively considered to be a conquest of civilization. This procedural model has been providing a way for the pacification of society, i…
Ukryta polityczność — uzasadnienie merytokratyczne i jego rola w prawotwórstwie
2020
Przedmiotem artykułu jest analiza uzasadnienia merytokratycznego w prawotwórstwie w kontekście problematyki polityczności, rozumianej w duchu Chantal Mouffe jako pewien nie-usuwalny stan antagonizmu leżącego u podstaw funkcjonowania każdego społeczeństwa. Ideologia merytokratyczna w zakresie prawotwórstwa opiera się na założeniu, że możliwe jest wyeliminowa-nie polityczności z procesu tworzenia prawa poprzez zastąpienie jej czynnikiem eksperckim. Autor na przykładzie sądowego tworzenia prawa oraz prawotwórstwa niezależnych agencji regulacyjnych w USA wskazuje, że uzasadnienie merytokratyczne: (1) służy legitymizacji przyjmowanych rozwią-zań prawnych, (2) nie eliminuje z niego elementu polit…
Determining exhaust fumes exposure in chainsaw operations
2016
Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the inhalation exposure of forest operators to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and total xylenes) contained in the exhaust fumes released from chainsaws and to suggest possible countermeasures. The study was carried out in four silvicultural treatments (coppice clearcut, conifer thinning, conifer pruning, and sanitary cut), using three types of chainsaw fuel (normal two-stroke petrol mix and two alkylate fuels). Eighty personal air samples were collected; IOM samplers combined with Amberlite XAD-2 sorbent tubes were used for collecting PAHs and Radiello® samplers were used for BTEX. Resu…
Ks. Konstantego Damrota opowieść o polskim Pomorzu (na podstawie Szkiców z ziemi i historyi Prus Królewskich z 1886 r.)
2022
Jedną z ważnych postaci Kościoła katolickiego na Pomorzu był ks. Konstanty Damrot (1841–1895) – syn śląskiej ziemi, wybitny literat, wieloletni dyrektor katolickiego seminarium nauczycielskiego w Kościerzynie. Zachwycony pięknem dawnych Prus Królewskich, w 1886 r. wydał pozycję książkową zatytułowaną Szkice z ziemi i historyi Prus Królewskich, Jego zamiarem było nie tylko opisanie piękna nadmorskiej krainy, ale przede wszystkim obudzenie ducha polskiego w tamtejszych mieszkańcach. Poprzez słowo pisane chciał także spopularyzować historię i kulturę nadmorskiej krainy, przesiąkniętej polskością, zbudowaną na wierze katolickiej i rodzimej tradycji. Autor w krótkiej syntezie przedstawia biogram…
El populismo penal en Colombia: propuesta para un debate inconcluso
2020
El presente documento argumenta que el populismo penal ha sido interpretado y caracterizado de diversas maneras, pero que, en realidad, no se han planteado propuestas para establecer un “umbral” que permita definir cuándo se trata de una reforma penal legítima y necesaria, y cuándo estamos ante una populista o reaccionaria. Este trabajo propone un modelo aplicado a reformas penales que se podrían considerar populistas, y así, ofrecer un test que permita dar un paso hacia la teoría del populismo penal.
Most-Favoured-Nation Treatment, Survival Clauses and Reform of International Investment Law
2016
In the last decade, international investment law has been on a trajectory of rapid evolution with reform high on agenda priorities. Reform requires a reconciliation of competing interests, which is generally so difficult to achieve that it is often unclear whether an option constitutes ‘reform’ or unwanted change. Two specific treaty provisions, the most-favoured-nation (MFN) treatment and survival clauses, can interfere with the reform process and become an impediment to changing the rules of the game. This is particularly true when political will is present. The MFN treatment, a guarantee of non-discrimination present in the quasi-totality of investment treaties, can have far-reaching ram…
God and the Profit—A European Overlook on Some Economic Doctrines
2018
When we discuss the relationship religion-European identity, we should switch between two parties. We do not have “unique networks”. It is necessary to have “accomplices” and “connivance”, in the good sense of these words, for the purpose of progress which does not come only from one part, but from all parts. It is also necessary to always look to the future, but without neglecting history knowledge, depicting lessons, the needed experience. Out of all these, we exclude anarchism, left or right-side terrorism, religious or lay, Islamic or Christian etc. Superior technologies may promote it widely developed. Let us start from the fact that people radicalization—beyond those paid directly to …
Managing Invisibility: Theoretical and Practical Contestations to Disrespect
2021
By aiming at the recognition of normative claims contained in affective reactions to disrespect or social suffering, Recognition Theory points—at least implicitly—also toward the visibilization of groups and individuals who suffer from disrespect. Social invisibilization is therefore understood as hindering recognition and impeding even the perception of legitimate normative claims. However, since Foucault we also know that visibilization could be a mechanism of control and domination, thus pointing to a form of disrespect as the opposite of recognition. In this chapter the diverse forms of migrants struggle for recognition will be analyzed with regard to the question how these struggles ne…
Expressions of Relational Power in NATO Discourse: Cooperation with Former Adversaries
2018
Abstract The dissolution of the Soviet Empire in 1991 has challenged the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to grapple with an issue that had been avoided and postponed during the Cold War - how to give specific and practical content to the Alliance’s long-standing vision of a peaceful political order in Europe. This paper examines the galvanizing role of language in forging a solid discourse aimed at initiating and consolidating cooperation between the Alliance and its former adversaries in the aftermath of the Soviet Union’s collapse. Drawing on discourse analysis as a method of qualitative investigation, the present linguistic exploration of military discourse focuses on a number of NATO…
