Demokracja a kapitalizm. Przyczynek do analizy z perspektywy ekonomii politycznej

2015

Celem artykułu jest analiza stosunków między demokracją a kapitalizmem w ujęciu ekonomii politycznej. Przyjęto w nim założenie, że demokracja stanowi formę organizacji życia politycznego, zaś kapitalizm życia ekonomicznego. W pierwszej części przedstawiono krytykę liberalizmu hegemona współczesnej filozofii politycznej z punktu widzenia myśli Karola Marksa.

Znaczenie wybranych cech małżeńskiego communio personarum w realizacji zadań stojących przed rodziną jako "domowym Kościołem"

2015

Matrimony participates in the existence and mission of the Church. It actualizes itself as a Church and on that basis it is entitled to the title „home Church”. Christian spouses implanted in Christ through the power of baptism and included as „unity of the two” in betrothed bond of Christ with the Church through the power of the sacrament of matrimony – are gifted and obliged to perform functions specific for the whole Church. Thanks to their specific qualities they fulfill, in a unique way, prophetic, priestly and royal function of Christ. Among these qualities one can distinguish: the ability to adopt, listen and announce of the word of God, sanctifiction oneself through the sacrament of…

Małżeństwo w Asyryjskim Kościele Wschodu. Studium systematyczne z odniesieniami do innych tradycji chrześcijańskiego Orientu

2020

Małżeństwo rozumiane jako związek mężczyzny i kobiety, ustanowione z woli samego Stwórcy, w każdej tradycji liturgicznej cieszy się wielkim szacunkiem. Asyryjski Kościół Wschodu nie jest tu wyjątkiem, chociaż w dyscyplinie kanonicznej nie nazywa małżeństwa sakramentem. Niniejsze studium stanowi prezentację myśli teologicznej i praktyki liturgicznej związanej z małżeństwem w tej czcigodnej i starożytnej tradycji Kościoła. Analiza obejmuje kolejno kwestię rozumienia małżeństwa jako sakramentu, krótką historię rozwoju obrzędu, prezentację struktury ceremonii oraz kanoniczną dopuszczalność rozwodu. Najwięcej miejsca poświęca się liturgicznemu obrzędowi małżeństwa, który jawi się jako jeden z na…

Central, Eastern and East-Central Europle: on the History and the Current State of Conceptualization and Demarcation of Concepts

2019

The article is devoted to a historical overview and discussion of the current understanding and demarcation of the concepts “Central Europe”, “Eastern Europe” and “Central Eastern Europe”. The analysis is performed from a descriptive and comparative point of view, including a step‑by‑step generalization and separation of the above concepts and the verification of how natural, artificial or instrumental their character is, as well as by analysing their contrastive properties. In conclusion, the author has argued that the integration / disintegration and democratization / autocratization processes in the countries that used to be or now constitute different sub‑regions of Europe during the 20…

Toddlers as ignorant citizens: An explorative study of conflicts and negotiations involving toys in kindergarten

2020

This article explores conflicts among toddlers in kindergarten and the impact of toys in these conflicts. The author describes these interactions as part of how children develop and express their citizenship, and argues that staff members should hesitate before interfering with rules in order to prevent such conflicts. This is based on Mouffe’s theory of democracy as agonistic pluralism and the way Biesta argues for the term ‘ignorant citizen’. The child is an ignorant citizen due to their lack of predefined ways to behave when obstructions and agonisms occur during play. Hence, children’s non-verbal negotiations about toys can be interpreted as political experiments.

The role of collective action for the emergence and consolidation of democracy

2020

AbstractThe role of citizens' collective action for the emergence and consolidation of democracy is generally analysed within bottom-up theories. However, top-down theories show that elites might impede or promote both democracy and collective action through a set of strategies which are often unobserved and vary over time. Democratic persistence and change require then to be assessed in a dynamic framework which considers both citizens and elites' strategies. For such reason, on a large sample of countries in the period 1971–2014, we jointly estimate the probability of collective action and democracy using a Structural Dynamic Model. This allows us to account for the dynamic nature of the …

Public participation is still a democratic challenge to city and municipal governments. Numerous studies have suggested experiments on participative processes, and conflictual consensus is seen as ...

The Security–Development Nexus in European Union Foreign Relations after Lisbon: Policy Coherence at Last?

2016

One of the 2009 Lisbon Treaty's objectives was to enhance the coherence of EU-level foreign relations by improving collective action. Policy-level innovations included ‘comprehensive’ and ‘joined-up’ approaches linking EU instruments and actors, especially the Commission and the new European External Action Service. Have these reforms improved policy coherence? We focus on a key EU policy domain illustrating Europe's engagement with the changing global context: the security–development nexus. Although we find that collective action has improved somewhat since 2010, decision-making is affected by bureaucratic actors catering to specific constituencies. Accordingly, the coherence of security …

SPI/INTEGRAL in-flight performance

2003

The SPI instrument has been launched on-board the INTEGRAL observatory on October 17, 2002. SPI is a spectrometer devoted to the sky observation in the 20 keV-8 MeV energy range using 19 germanium detectors. The performance of the cryogenic system is nominal and allows to cool the 19 kg of germanium down to 85 K with a comfortable margin. The energy resolution of the whole camera is 2.5 keV at 1.1 MeV. This resolution degrades with time due to particle irradiation in space. We show that the annealing process allows the recovery of the initial performance. The anticoincidence shield works as expected, with a low threshold at 75 keV, reducing the GeD background by a factor of 20. The digital …
