European Union and Indian Union signed the cooperation agreement in 1994 and a strategic partnership 10 years later. Europe was feeling safe and secure, which was well-described in 2003 in the European Security Strategy, so the approach to the relations with India stressed their economic aspects. In 2007, both sides have started negotiations of the Free Trade Agreement. They still have not concluded but in the meantime the world has changed dramatically. In the current international "disorder" both India and Europe are looking for new partners and vectors of influence, defending multilateralism and democratic values. The paper analyses 5 factors which severely influence these relations. They can bring both sides closer and make the strategic partnership stronger: Rise of China as a global power; Increase of American-Chinese competition and rivalry; Russia's coming back to the international game of power; Rise of India as a regional power and global player, the world largest democracy and a counterbalance to China; Brexit and internal dynamics in the EU. The text is based, among others, on research and discussions taken under umbrella of the India-EU Think Tank Twinning Initiative - the project implemented by 10 best European and Indian think tanks.

On August 1, 1994 the Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and the Republic of India on partnership and development entered into force. On June 16, 2004, in the tenth anniversary of the partnership, the European Commission presented the communication "An EU-India Strategic Partnership" in order to intensify cooperation with India. The Republic of India was regarded as a regional and global leader, being able to have equal relations with EU members. This paper is to analise signs of cooperation aimed at stategic partnership, and to present that despite legal and institutional frameworks of cooperation, no comprehensive concept of partnership was implemented. Moreover, years of relations have showned that partners are not equal, as well as that course and speed of cooperation are shaped unilaterally by the European Union. ; On August 1, 1994 the Cooperation Agreement between the European Community and the Republic of India on partnership and development entered into force.

India is a pluralistic, multilingual and multi-ethnic country located in Southeast Asia. It is the 2nd largest populated country which has the 7th position in the geographical area. Since 1990 India has emerged as one of the wealthiest economies in the developing world. Recently it is the second fastest growing major economy in the world. Despite the fact that economical development in India has been accompanied by increases in life expectancy, literacy rates and food security, India's performance in the area of health care has been still far from satisfactory. The system of financing health care as a one of the most privatized in the world faces especially many problems. This paper would therefore attempt to describe and assess the system of financing health care in India. In order to outline to the readers the overall country context the first section will provide a brief description of the demographic, economic and health profile of the Indian population. The second and third sections will present the main methods of funding health care in India as well as and the budget of health care system. The concluding section would attempt to assess the financing system in India and offer a way forward for the better achievement of health care system goals.

Artykuł dotyczy rozwiązań prawnych w zakresie zapewniania bezpieczeństwa wewnętrznego w Indiach, Francji i Portugalii. Państwa te przyjmowały, w różnym okresie i z różnych powodów, ustawy o bezpieczeństwie wewnętrznym. Zwrócono uwagę na czynniki, które wpłynęły na ostateczny kształt uregulowań prawnych w danym państwie. Założono, że punktem wyjścia do budowania efektywnego systemu bezpieczeństwa wewnętrznego jest zdefiniowanie bezpieczeństwa wewnętrznego, a definicja taka może znaleźć się w ustawie o bezpieczeństwie wewnętrznym. Pytania badawcze dotyczą tego w jaki sposób pojmuje się bezpieczeństwo wewnętrzne na gruncie ustawodawstwa w tym zakresie w Indiach, Portugalii oraz we Francji. Artykuł kończy zestawienie wyciągniętych wniosków: po pierwsze, rozwiązania na gruncie prawnym w zakresie ochrony bezpieczeństwa wewnętrznego, przyjmowane przez różne państwa sąpokłosiem szeregu czynników, występujących w tych państwach. Po drugie, w ustawach o bezpieczeństwie wewnętrznym zazwyczaj zdefiniowano termin "bezpieczeństwo wewnętrzne" (w przypadkach Portugalii i Francji). Po trzecie, w omawianych państwach bezpieczeństwo wewnętrzne rozumie się zazwyczaj raczej wąsko tj. utożsamia się je z zakresem pojęciowym bezpieczeństwa publicznego i porządku publicznego (w przypadkach Indii i Francji). ; The article concerns Internal Security Acts in India, Portugal and France. These states had adopted such kind of laws due to various reasons and motives. In the paper a set of factors is identified which have influenced internal security rules in the above-mentioned states. The key assumption is that the crucial issue is the definition of internal security which is necessary if a state would like to build an internal security system. The definition might be included in an In¬ternal Security Act. The basic question is how internal security is understood in India, Portugal and France. The article concludes with final conclusions. First, the Internal Security Acts adopted by various states are influenced by a set of factors occurring in these states. Secondly, usually the concept of internal security has been defined by an Internal Security Act (Portugal and France cases). Last but not least, the internal security is understood in a narrow way i.e. it is restricted to the issues of public order and public security (India and France cases).
