The article aims to discuss the relationship between social policy and public policy and to identify its most important elements. Social policy is linked historically on the one hand with the economy and on the other - with sociology and political sciences. Theory of public policy exposes the role of public administration in achieving its objectives and allows for wider recognition of the tasks by linking them with other specialties. This makes it possible to achieve in practice synergistic effects of actions taken, and at the theoretical level - a more comprehensive assessment of the analyzed problems. The history of social policy in Poland, especially of the Institute of Social Economy shows that such a broad approach to social policy has been characteristic also in the past.

The study investigates genesis of the European Union Social Policy and the changes in common social issue over the years. The European Union is not only economic and monetary integration, it is also unify the activities in the social areas. Integration endeavors are not only based on the European Union further enlargement to new members, but also are based on adoption of new regulations on social issues, with the need to enforce them by the Member States. EU regulations only of an economic nature, without social guidelines may lead to incomplete and unstable functioning of the European Union and Single European Market. Over the past decade, the process of European integration has intensified and included more issues and life areas, therefore the position of social policy has strengthen consistently. The increasing globalization and regionalization of economic and social life causes more important role for international institutions such as the European Union, in solving various social matters. European countries are more acutely affected by problems such as high unemployment, poverty, social exclusion and the progressive aging of the population. Consequently cooperation at EU level can lead to stop these processes and can find ways to eliminate the negative effects that appeared among the citizens of Europe.

In: Zarzadzanie Publiczne / Public Governance, Issue 2, p. 41-53
Ageing is a challenge that requires development and implementation of horizontal social policy, which should take into account the diversity of older adults and the division of interventions aimed at this population and on the image of old age. The complexity of the negative consequences of ageing shows that there is a need to enhance cooperation between the public sector, the commercial sector, the NGO sector, and the informal sector at all levels of social policy. The paper discusses models of multisectoral social policy and the possibilities of integrating social services. Its conclusions include directions for further research and social innovation.

Przedsiębiorczość społeczna i innowacje społeczne w polityce publicznej wobec starzenia się ludności
In: Polityka społeczna w XXI wieku: Spójność w trójwymiarze, p. 131-143
Podstawowym założeniem artykułu jest uznanie, że złożoność wyzwań związanych ze starzeniem się populacji wymusza rozwój powiązań kooperacyjnych między podmiotami polityki publicznej reprezentującymi różne sektory. Innymi słowy: niezbędna jest bardziej intensywna i lepiej skoordynowana współpraca między organizacjami sektora publicznego, komercyjnego, pozarządowego, nieformalnego oraz sektora obejmującego podmioty gospodarki społecznej (np. spółdzielnie). Zasadnicze znaczenie ma w tym kontekście wdrażanie założeń teorii współzarządzania (governance), koprodukcji oraz mieszanej gospodarki dobrobytu (inaczej: wielosektorowej polityki społecznej). W konsekwencji artykuł wskazuje na wybrane wątki dyskursu dotyczącego relacji procesu starzenia się ludności z przedsiębiorczością społeczną i innowacjami społecznymi. Tekst przytacza także przykłady dobrych praktyk i inicjatyw z obszaru gospodarki społecznej. Podsumowanie zawiera rekomendacje dla podmiotów polityki publicznej oraz proponowane kierunki dalszych badań.
Social policy of EU Member States in view of the pursuit of sustainable economic growth ; Polityka społeczna państw Unii Europejskiej w aspekcie realizacji koncepcji zrównoważonego wzrostu gospodarczego
One of the imperative priorities of the European Union countries is the pursuit of the strategy of the social-economic development in the respect of the natural environment. The implementation of the strategy which is defined like that can be named the policy of sustainable development. It results directly from the concept of sustainable development. The aim of the considerations is notonly to identify the chances and challenges, but the justification that both intheory and especially inthe practice of life of societies, it is unjustified at present to analyse separately processes of economic, social and environmental development. These three developmental elements should be investigated altogether, because they are closely conditioned and linked toeach other. The comprehensive conceptualization of the development should also include spatial and regional factors. ; Jednym znadrzędnych priorytetów krajów Unii Europejskiej jest realizacja strategii rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego wwarunkach poszanowania środowiska naturalnego. Realizację tak określonej strategii możemy nazwać polityką zrównoważonego rozwoju. Wynika tobezpośrednio ztreści pojęcia zrównoważony rozwój. Celem rozważań prowadzonych przez autorkę jest nie tylko zidentyfikowanie szans izagrożeń, ale także uzasadnienie, że zarówno wteorii, jak izwłaszcza wpraktyce życia społeczeństw bezpodstawne jest obecnie odrębne analizowanie przebiegu rozwoju gospodarczego, społecznego iśrodowiskowego. Te trzy elementy rozwojowe powinno się rozpatrywać łącznie, ponieważ sąone ściśle wzajemnie uwarunkowane. Kompleksowe ujęcie rozwoju powinno zawierać także czynniki przestrzenne iregionalne.

The text points out the need for significant changes in the disability policies, which result from the paradigm shift from medicine to social issues. Three theoretical approaches are presented and briefly discussed, which might be helpful when analyzing the public policy towards disability and eventually be used when reformulating it. First, the biographical approach and the trajectory of everyday life are presented. Then, the problem is discussed in the context of the social exclusion followed by the analysis of the public policies from the perspective of the expected failure. Finally the text presents the differences between social and public disability policies and points out the advantages of the approach typical for public policy-related sciences.

Social cooperatives in the function of social enterprises are classified as a group of employers of the open labour market.

The article attempts to characterize and evaluate the existing funding opportunities for social economy enterprises in Poland on the example of social cooperatives of legal entities in the context of the development of social economy in the area of social policy understood as one of the components of public policy. This article is a review of the current scientific literature in the field of social entrepreneurship and current legislation on social cooperatives. The presented data suggests that currently, social cooperatives have various forms and sources of financing for their activities. They operate in the sphere of public utilities, filling the gap in the provision of publicly available services which cannot be filled by free market entities or state institutions. Their activity is financed mainly from own funds, which can be supplemented with financial support from the state budget or a local government unit as well as bank loans and the European Union fund.

The article presents the concept of strategic planning adapted to the realities of social assistance and attempts to prove that this concept significantly affects the demand for research on local social problems that is carried out in local social assistance institutions. This increasingly significant activity, mainly concerning diagnosing and forecasting, influences both the identification of new tasks of social welfare and, consequently, new elements of its organizational structures, which were called local laboratories for research on social policy in the title of the article, and the need to delegate these tasks to specialists in social policy.
