"W maju 2020 roku Profesor Witold Kulesza obchodził 70. rocznicę urodzin. Z tej okazji postanowiliśmy skierować zaproszenie do wybitnych przedstawicieli najważniejszych ośrodków naukowych w Polsce i za granicą, by wspólnie uhonorować Jubilata. Efektem naszej współpracy jest prezentowana księga jubileuszowa, zawierająca pięćdziesiąt artykułów o szerokiej tematyce. Zostały one pogrupowane w obrębie czterech rozdziałów - O sprawiedliwości, O prawie karnym w ogólności, O prawie karnym w szczególności, O kryminologii i polityce kryminalnej - by nawiązać do najistotniejszych wątków dorobku naukowego Jubilata. Wśród nich znajdują się prace z pogranicza prawa karnego oraz filozofii państwa i prawa, a także dotyczące poszczególnych typów przestępstw. Autorzy artykułów zarówno sięgają wstecz, jak i odnoszą się do współcześnie wprowadzonych rozwiązań z zakresu prawa penalnego. Pro dignitate legis et maiestate iustitiae, żywiąc głęboki szacunek wysokie uznanie dla Profesora Witolda Kuleszy, składamy tę księgę Jubilatowi w hołdzie i darze."--

The Norwegian Tax Office constitutes an institution with a long tradition and history, but as well opened to the citizens' needs and meeting their expectations. It is an institution which is in a constant movement through modernisation and improvement of its services. The history of the tax system goes back to the medieval times. The tax policy has been developed since Middle Ages, when the main role was played by the church, then by the king or the state. In the next periods the tax offices were managed by the municipalities and at last, in the 60. were fully taken over by the state. A milestone in the Norwegian Tax Office's history was a reform from 1911, where the obligatory tax return was introduced and from 1957 where the current each-monthincome tax payment was implemented. For those running own businesses the advance tax payment was developed. These solutions have been applicable with success since then until now. The next big progress was made in the late 70. when the leadership was taken over by the economist, not a lawyer which was a rule then, Erling Ree-Pedersen, who started managing the organization and seeing it as a whole unity. Thanks to this approach the Tax Office has been moved closer to the tax payers and started to meet their expectations. The technological solutions, which occurred in the next years and have been developed since, have just proved that the institution which is so little popular can be helpful, friendly and approachable through the newest technologies. The Norwegian Tax Office is an institution which evokes trust among citizens, especially that the main aim of the tax policy is supporting the state with sufficient income level. Simultaneously the main aim of Norway as a welfare state is supplying the citizens with the appropriate life standard through, among others, efficient tax policy, allowing to finance the main fields within public policy.

Certainly, it is essential, for the shaping of public order in a state, to establish the standards of good administration and axiological basis for the legal system of administrative law, both in the formal-legal and systemic aspect and the substantive-law domain. The basic role is played by legal designatations, such as: properly understood the principle of separation of powers, the principle of the rule of law, human dignity as an axiological basis and the categorical imperative in the sphere of understanding what good administration is, the meaning of the notion of the common good, proper distribution of prime factors of the relationship the common good – human dignity. Legal security and certainty of law, the elimination of inflation of law and the relativization of fundamental values of systemic significance form are also an important element underlying good administration. It is not possible to shape the system of good administration without a properly formed public service and without continuously building its ethos. The analysis of the foundations of good administration and its durability cannot boil down only to the procedural and legal aspects. Therefore, apart from pointing to the need to constantly address the issues of the principles and standards set out in Poland in the Code of Administrative Procedure and in the Code of Good Administrative Behaviour adopted on 6 September 2001 by the European Parliament, I have decided to present this issue in another paper, while focusing herein on the fundamental axiological values symbolizing good administration. An important place in this area is taken by the problem of the individual's right to good administration, which is a consequence of recognising that the State has an obligation and responsibility to shape the optimal model of good administration and governance within the country. ; Nie ulega wątpliwości, że dla kształtowania ładu publicznego w państwie kluczowe jest ukształtowanie standardów dobrej administracji i aksjologicznych podstaw porządku prawnego, tworzącego system prawa administracyjnego zarówno w płaszczyźnie formalnoprawnej i ustrojowej, jak i materialnoprawnej. Podstawową rolę odgrywa kilka desygnatów prawnych, takich jak: odpowiednio rozumiana zasada podziału władz, zasada praworządności, godność człowieka jako aksjologiczna podstawa i imperatyw kategoryczny w sferze pojmowania dobrej administracji, znaczenie pojęcia dobra wspólnego, właściwe rozpisanie na czynniki pierwsze relacji dobro wspólne – godność człowieka. Istotnymi elementami wzmacniającymi podstawy dobrej administracji są także bezpieczeństwo prawne i pewność prawa oraz eliminowanie zjawiska inflacji prawa i relatywizacji fundamentalnych wartości mających znaczenie systemowe. Kształtowanie systemu dobrej administracji nie jest możliwe bez odpowiednio ukształtowanej służby publicznej oraz stałego budowania jej etosu. Analiza podstaw dobrej administracji i jej trwałości nie może być sprowadzona tylko do aspektów proceduralnych i formalnoprawnych. Dlatego – poza zasygnalizowaniem potrzeby ciągłego zajmowania się problematyką zasad i standardów określonych w Polsce w Kodeksie postępowania administracyjnego oraz przyjętym w dniu 6 września 2001 r. przez Parlament Europejski Kodeksie Dobrej Administracji – problematykę tę postanowiłem przedstawić w innym artykule, kładąc nacisk w niniejszym opracowaniu na fundamentalne wartości aksjologiczne symbolizujące dobrą administrację. Ważne miejsce zajmuje w tym zakresie doniosły problem prawa jednostki do dobrej administracji, co jest swoistą konsekwencją uznania, że na państwie ciąży obowiązek i odpowiedzialność związana z ukształtowaniem optymalnego modelu dobrej administracji i ładu publicznego w państwie.

The aim of the paper is to measure the efficiency and productivity of public administration in higher education using the DEA method and the Malmquist index. The research was carried out in 58 higher education institutions of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education in the years 2014-2017. The obtained efficiency results oscillate around 70%. The most effective were pedagogical universities and the least agricultural universities. However, the highest productivity growth was recorded in 2015/2016 in technical universities.

Rok 2020, rok pandemii, stał się symbolem nagłych zagrożeń zmieniających zasadniczo życie społeczne i gospodarcze. Jest on jednak tylko przykładem nowych nawarstwiających się niepewności, takich jak zmiany klimatyczne, które silnie wpływają na system administracji publicznej. Przedmiotem opracowania jest odpowiedź na pytanie, jaki ustrój administracji publicznej i jakie prawne formy działania będą sprzyjać zwiększeniu odporności państwa na wstrząsy i większej elastyczności działania jego administracji. Możemy tu ukazać trzy sposoby ujęcia posiadające swoich zwolenników również w nauce prawa, a więc: scentralizowanego państwa rozbudowującego wobec zagrożeń tylko struktury eksperckie i doradcze; państwa minimalnego, w którym wzmacnia się głównie sieć współdziałania z obywatelami, podmiotami gospodarczymi i administracją, takiego, które prowadzi ograniczone działania zarządzania kryzysowego, i trzeciej koncepcji współpracującego systemu modułów administracji rządowej i samorządowej przy dużej niezależności samorządu, dobrej koordynacji i otwarciu na innowacji społeczne. Autorka wypowiada się za wyborem trzeciego modelu dla stworzenia elastycznego, odpornego na wstrząsy państwa, ukazując zalety takiego rozwiązania oraz słabości modelu pierwszego, ku któremu dąży postępująca obecnie recentralizacja. ; The year 2020, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic, has become a symbol of sudden threats that fundamentally change social and economic life. However, the pandemic is only one example of the new accumulating uncertainties, such as climate change, which are strongly affecting the public administration system. The aim of the study is to answer the question of what kind of public administration system and what legal forms of action will contribute to increasing the resistance of the State to shocks, and fostering greater flexibility of its administration. Three approaches will be presented that have their supporters in the legal sciences, namely: a centralized state that only expands expert and advisory structures in order to counter threats; a minimal state, in which the network of interaction with citizens, business entities and the administration is mainly strengthened, being one that conducts limited crisis management activities; and, lastly, the concept of a cooperative system of central and local government administration modules, with local self-government having a high level of independence, good coordination, and openness to social innovation. The author advocates the choice of the third model to create a flexible, shock-resistant state, showing the advantages of such a solution and the weaknesses of the first model, towards which the current recentralization is striving.

The article aims at presenting the connection between growing international cooperation of public administration in relation to organization and functioning of public service. The presentation is made with the example of the antimonopoly administration. It begins with a short description of the legal basis of international cooperation of the Polish competition authority. It is followed with a short overview of different modes of this cooperation on global, European and bilateral levels. Despite extensive international cooperation of the Polish competition authority, its internal organization is rather inefficient and fails to deliver relevant input from the international cooperation into internal works of the authority. Similarly, civil servants of the competition authority are not offered to rise their skills in relation to foreign cooperation as well as there are no transfers between jurisdictional departments and the department for the international cooperation which keeps those departments separated. ; W artykule został omówiona problematyka wzrostu międzynarodowej współpracy organów administracji publicznej oraz jej wpływu na organizację i funkcjonowanie służby publicznej. Prezentacja jest przeprowadzona na przykładzie administracji antymonopolowej. Na początku przedstawiono podstawy prawne współpracy międzynarodowej polskiego organu ochrony konkurencji. Następnie analiza objęła różne przejawy tej współpracy na szczeblu światowym, europejskim i bilateralnym. Pomimo rozwiniętej współpracy międzynarodowej polskiego organu ochrony konkurencji wewnętrzna organizacja jego urzędu jest do niej nieprzystosowana i w znacznym stopniu utrudnia przełożenie skutków tej współpracy na wykonywanie przezeń jurysdykcji administracyjnej. Jednocześnie urzędnicy UOKiK nie są szkoleni w kierunku rozwijania współpracy międzynarodowej, a brak wewnętrznych transferów pomiędzy departamentem orzeczniczym i współpracy z zagranicą powoduje, że funkcjonują one w izolacji od siebie.

The conception of local self-government contained in the law of March 8, 1990, refers to the tradition of Polish self-government and yet meets the requirements provided for in the European Local Government Charter. The .atbove makes it possible, on the one hand, to return to the institutions previously known to the Polish law, and, on the other, to compare them with their European counterparts. The re-instatement of self-government has brought back to light the issue of duality of public administration and its division into government and selfgovernment administration. In view of the principle in force in the former political regime namely the principle of "unity of government on the level of a locality, the solution to the problem of duality is far from easy". New legislation creates grounds for a new, structurally diversified model of state administration. At the Województwo level (the highest unit of local organization), there operates a nominated official, Wojewoda, the organ of government administration, whereas at a local level — in gmina — the ,,basic form of organization of public activity" is local self-government. The duality of administration manifests itself in many legislative acts. The most important of them are: the Act on Local Self-Government and the Act on Government Administration; mention should also be made about the Act on division of tasks and powers between various organs representing basically different types of administration, etc. Some issues posed by the model require further amendments. Problems of particular gravity arise in connection with the question of regions as subsidiary units of basic administrative division of the country, created to further the tasks of government administration at a local level, the absence of deep structural reforms at a central government level, the absence of a clear determination of position of government administration vis-a vis self-government, disputable budgetary and financial solutions, etc. All this leads to the conclusion that the legislative conception of duality of state administration is not sufficiently clear. Neverheless, it is beyond doubt that the new structure of administration is presently in its formative period. ; Digitalizacja i deponowanie archiwalnych zeszytów RPEiS sfinansowane przez MNiSW w ramach realizacji umowy nr 541/P-DUN/2016

In connection to the process of the public administration reforms which take place in most of the European countries and also in connection to the "European administrative space", the issues of studying and mutually comparing administrative systems of various European countries, especially EU member countries, become more and more topical. They focus not only on purposeful and effective mutual use of experience in administrative systems improvements, but also on improving orientation in the already mentioned "European administrative space". There is nodue attention devoted so far to the systematic study of administrative systems of (other) European countries. Most of the publications which focus on this issue (mostly study books, study materials, or occassional articles) describe it only on a "descriptive" (mostly simplified) level. The cause of this lies in (apart from time and financial demands) significant complexity of the given issue, in terminological complications and in difficulties of getting adequate (essentially necessary) factography and in practically non-existing adequate methodology. Legal comparative jurisprudence and comparative studies of political systems might inspire onewhen developing the methodology. Even under the current situation, it would be efficient to pay more attention to the comparative studies of the structure of administrative systems, or to some selected areas of the public administration, for example to personnel systems in the public administration, financing public administration or administration of the public property. A thorough "stock -taking" of all the materials which have ever been published about this matter (even in different contexts) in our country orabroad might serve as a basis of these fragmented studies.

The amendments made to the electoral law, and effective as of 2011, introduced a quota system but they did not solve the problem of women's participation in public life. Each sex was guaranteed a minimum of 35% of seats on electoral lists, without the requirement of alternating the candidates of different sexes, allowing certain political parties to only appear to implement the legislation. Despite the legal regulation imposing a requirement to increase the number of female candidates on electoral lists, the number of women currently in parliament increased only marginally, which raises the question of the degree of women's participation in those executive organs of the state which are not required to observe a quota. There is much to be desired as regards the participation of women in the organs of state administration at both central and local levels in Poland. Political posts are clearly dominated by men. As regards administrative positions, the proportion of women depends on the degree of power connected with them: the higher the level in the hierarchy, the fewer women there are. As concerns'executive' posts, we can talk not only about a balance of sexes, but even about the prevalence of women, in some cases. Therefore, it is increasingly often postulated in public debate to introduce a quota system into the organs of state administration, the more so as some European countries have already applied similar solutions. ; The amendments made to the electoral law, and effective as of 2011, introduced a quota system but they did not solve the problem of women's participation in public life.
