Multi-level governance is now an established field of public policy research. In this context there is a need to introduce two new concepts: substantiation of public policy goals and multi- level coordination of public policy goals. In the study based on this assumption a qualitative approach is used. Usefulness of these two concepts was proved by participatory action policy research on one specific goal substantiated and coordinated within Europe 2020 Strategy in the policy area of poverty. In the course of the research (2012-2015) the author was a representative of the network of social NGOs in the governmental body responsible for implementation of the Europe 2020 Strategy in Poland. The main action research tool was an attempt to modify the goal of poverty reduction decided by the government in 2011. In that process rich data was generated, analyzed, interpreted and used for subsequent actions. The effect of the research is a deep insight and understanding of multi-level governance process in a specific policy area and a proposal for two new concepts. Emerging new research areas were proposed and discussed.

The article links the prospect of theoretical research on the culture of the unemployed with the achievements of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, including the theory of fields (le champ), which is one of the key categories of his theory. A reflexive analysis of P. Bourdieu's theoretical concepts is helpful to explain the reasons for marginalization and exclusion on the example of long-term unemployment. Theoretical analysis showed that the reasons for marginalization lie not only in the entities subject to marginalization, but also are conditioned by general social changes, the social structure of a given country. Bourdieu's analyses are a good basis for programming public policy, the aim of which is to limit the social and economic effects of permanent unemployment.

Celem artykułu jest wprowadzenie do nauki o polityce publicznej dwóch nowych pojęć: konkretyzacja celu oraz wielopoziomowa koordynacja celu. W badaniach ugruntowujących tę propozycję zastosowano podejście jakościowe. Miały one charakter uczestniczący poprzez działanie (participative action research) w ramach praktyki polityki (policy work, policy practice). Autor jako przedstawiciel jednej z sieci organizacji pozarządowych brał aktywny udział w procesie realizacji Strategii Europa 2020 w Polsce w latach 2012-2015. Zasadniczym instrumentem badania uczestniczącego były działania na rzecz modyfikacji celu dotyczącego ubóstwa, który został ustalony przez polski rząd w roku 2011. Pozostałe dane pochodzą z analizy dokumentów i obserwacji uczestniczącej. W ich wyniku możliwe było uzyskanie głębszego zrozumienia procesu wielopoziomowego rządzenia w jednym z obszarów i propozycja nowych kategorii analitycznych. W rezultacie badań wyróżniono kilka faz krajowej konkretyzacji celu oraz dwa okresy wielopoziomowej koordynacji. Zaproponowano nowe kierunki rozwoju badań.

The main aim of this paper was the analysis of the impact of the "Family 500+" social programme in three areas: fertility, poverty in families with children, and the labour market participation of parents (mainly mothers) with young children. Statistical data available to date has been used by the author. The results show that the new benefit decreased the risk of poverty in families with children, had an impact on the higher number of births - which could be a temporary effect or a result of other family policy reforms implemented in 2013-2016 - and it decreased female labour market activity.

The article analyzes the attitude of the Polish society to nuclear energy as an important energy source in the future and emphasizes the social dimension of the processes, by relating them to the sociology of energy. The attitude to nuclear energy is presented in comparison to other conventional and non-renewable energy sources, such as coal, oil or gas as well as renewable energy sources (RES) obtained from the sun, air or water. The ways of thinking and fears of the Polish society towards nuclear energy are presented in relation to the processes of energy transformation in Poland. The author indicates the main assumptions of the energy transformation and presents social ideas about the future of the energy sector in Poland. In the empirical dimension, the article concerns the sphere of social awareness and uses the results of surveys conducted by the Public Opinion Research Center (CBOS) in the period from 1987 to 2021. ; The article analyzes the attitude of the Polish society to nuclear energy as an important energy source in the future and emphasizes the social dimension of the processes, by relating them to the sociology of energy.

Age integration - a term used in social gerontology in at least two senses. In a narrow perspective - adopted mainly in English-language literature - age integration refers to such a structure of social roles in various institutions that allows for differences, but they do not depend strictly on the age structure, i.e. whether someone is a middle-aged adult or in an older age (Phillips et al., 2010). This is particularly about educational, economic, political, religious and leisure institutions in which people from different age groups and generations play different roles and occupy different positions. Age integration is based on the assumption that access to the institution, the possibility of exiting it and access to products (called outputs); services implemented in reality and benefits and outcomes paid out; the effects of implemented services and services, eg reduction of poverty, improvement of health, activities of these institutions is equal for all regardless of age.

Zdaniem instytucji Unii Europejskiej – co wykazuje niniejszy tekst – konieczność wzajemnie uzupełniających się interwencji w obszarach bezpieczeństwa i rozwoju jest efektem nowych zagrożeń dla Europy. UE konsekwentnie podkreśla, że "bezpieczeństwo jest niezbędnym warunkiem rozwoju" i że "trwały pokój nie jest możliwy bez rozwoju i eliminacji ubóstwa". Tworzenie i wzmacnianie warunków politycznych, społecznych i gospodarczych dla stabilności ma zasadnicze znaczenie dla bezpieczeństwa i jest warunkiem wstępnym rozwoju. Ta współzależność między bezpieczeństwem i rozwojem odgrywa kluczową rolę w zwiększaniu skuteczności działań zewnętrznych UE. Każde państwo, które dąży do zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa i rozwoju, musi posiadać lub nabyć odpowiednie zdolności we wszystkich istotnych obszarach, w tym w obszarze bezpieczeństwa i obrony. Umożliwi to nie tylko ustabilizowanie sytuacji w danym kraju, ale również przyczyni się w sposób konstruktywny do zaprowadzenia pokoju, uzyskania stabilizacji i zapobiegania kryzysom w jego regionie. Na przestrzeni ostatnich lat UE w coraz większym zakresie wspierała tę współzależność między bezpieczeństwem i rozwojem, prowadząc interwencje w różnych obszarach polityki unijnej i korzystając z różnych instrumentów. Bieżące działania na rzecz budowania zdolności w zakresie bezpieczeństwa w państwach partnerskich obejmują szereg obszarów polityki. W trakcie ich realizacji wykorzystywane są różne instrumenty i kładzie się nacisk na budowanie skutecznych, legalnych i trwałych instytucji, w tym na wydajny system sprawiedliwości i bezpieczeństwa, kontrolę granic oraz straż przybrzeżną. Działania te obejmują m.in. dostęp do instrumentów międzynarodowych, dialog polityczny, współpracę techniczną (w tym wspólne badania naukowe i innowacje), szkolenia (transfer wiedzy oraz rozwój umiejętności) oraz dostarczanie podstawowego sprzętu i materiałów. ; The link between security and development is a key underlying principle of the EU's comprehensive approach to external conflicts and crises and complementary to the internal security policies. As stated in the treaties, the EU's external action objectives are to preserve peace, prevent conflicts and strengthen international security and also to foster the sustainable economic, social and environmental development of developing countries, with the primary aim of eradicating poverty. The primary objective of the EU's development policy is the reduction and, in the long term, the eradication of poverty, but development policy also addresses sustainable development, inequalities, social injustice and human rights violations. This is essential in addressing the root causes of insecurity and conflict.The EU may use the Common Foreign and Security Policy and the Common Security and Defence Policy missions outside its territory for peacekeeping, conflict prevention and strengthening international security. The need for mutually reinforcing interventions in the areas of security and development is clear. The EU has consistently underlined that security is a precondition for development and that without development and poverty eradication there will be no sustainable peace. Creating and fostering the political, social and economic conditions for stability is essential for a country's security and a prerequisite for its development. This security-development nexus is central to maximising the effectiveness of the EU's external action.Current security capacity building efforts in partner countries span across a number of policy areas. They call on different instruments and focus on building effective, legitimate and sustainable institutions, including effective justice and security sectors, border control and coast guards. Capacity building activities include access to international instruments, political dialogue, technical cooperation (including joint research and innovation), training (knowledge transfer and skills development) and the provision of essential equipment and material. Training in the security sector seeks to improve a partner's ability to ensure stability and the protection of citizens.

Celem globalnej polityki rozwojowej jest likwidacja ubóstwa. Badacze nie mają wątpliwości, że jedną z kluczowych barier w skutecznej walce z ubóstwem są wojny i konflikty zbrojne. Pokój i bezpieczeństwo są ważne zarówno dla państw rozwijających się, jak i dla państw świadczących pomoc rozwojową. UE i jej państwa członkowskie są największymi dawcami pomocy na świecie, a Afryka Subsaharyjska (SSA) regionem o największym zapotrzebowaniu na pomoc rozwojową. Tekst analizuje jakie miejsce w europejskiej polityce rozwojowej wobec Afryki zajmuje kwestia pokoju i stabilizacji? Drugim obszarem analizy jest próba odpowiedzi na dylemat w jaki sposób pokój i stabilizacja lub ich brak wpływają na rozwój Afryki Subsaharyjskiej? Z analizy sytuacji państw SSA wynika, że trwały, zrównoważony rozwój w warunkach wojny czy innych konfliktów zbrojnych nie jest możliwy. Budowanie trwałego rozwoju musi być poprzedzone skutecznym zakończeniem konfliktów oraz wyeliminowaniem lub radykalnym ograniczeniem ich przyczyn. Pomoc z zewnątrz, w tym pomoc UE, ma w tych krajach – przede wszystkim – charakter pomocy humanitarnej. Jest ona potrzebna i ratuje ludzkie życie. Sama w sobie nie likwiduje jednak przyczyn konfliktów, ani nie jest w stanie zapewnić trwałego rozwoju. ; The aim of the global development policy is to eradicate poverty. Scholars are in no doubt that wars and armed conflicts are among the key obstacles to the effective struggle against poverty. Peace and security are as important for developing countries as for those that offer development aid. The EU and its member states are the greatest global providers of aid and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is the region with the highest demand for developmental aid. This article analyzes the position of peace and stability in European development policy towards Africa. Another issue is the attempt to answer the question of the influence peace and stability, or their lack, have on the development of SSA. The analysis of the situation in SSA states demonstrates that consistent and sustainable development is not feasible during warfare and other armed conflicts. Ensuring permanent development has to be preceded by an effective conclusion of conflicts and the eradication or dramatic suppression of the causes of such conflicts. The aid from outside, including that provided by the EU, is first and foremost humanitarian. While such aid is necessary and helps save human lives, it neither eliminates the reasons for conflicts, nor is it able to ensure permanent development.

Benefits from the social assistance system in Poland at the local level may be paid in cash or non-cash forms. The purpose of the article is to present selected benefits in the social assistance system and identify trends in changes occurring in the provision of social assistance benefits in 2012-2018. In the analysed period in Poland there was an increase in employment in the social assistance sector, with a simultaneous decrease in the employment of social workers. During 2012-2018, a negative trend was also observed, consisting in an increase in the number of recipients of benefits in the form of cash, with a decrease in the number of persons covered by non-cash support. In Poland the number of benefits in the social assistance system granted due to health dysfunction and disability has increased, while the number of benefits due to unemployment and poverty has decreased. The analyses carried out for the purposes of the article indicate that in Poland public policy in the area of social assistance consisting in the activation and strengthening of social assistance beneficiaries and the abandonment of redistribution of funds to those in need is only declarative.

The main goal of a reporter / photojournalist is to capture some interesting, shocking material, one that would affect the emotions of a reader. Therefore, poverty, suffering and death become the most important, and the reporter follows their path no matter whether such actions seem moral or not. The writer might then easily lose the main focus, a man. A man who reveals all the naked truth, uncovers the suffering, hoping to improve his or her being. At the end, such people are abandoned by the reporter and they become just a well-sold history. The purpose of my paper will be to look closer at the amoral attitude of a reporter and the relationship: reporter/ photojournalist – the main character of a text. My analysis will be based on Wojciech Tochman's latest reporter's book – Eli, Eli. To prove my thesis more distinctly, I will confront the contemporary reportage with the one from the Interwar period represented by the pioneers of social reportage – Irena Krzywicka and Wanda Melcer. My goal will be to indicate the evolution of the genre, its transformations and their causes.

Dynamism and complexity of international environment is reflected in Incessant rotation of values. Experience and knowledge from disaster of Two Enormous World Wars, grounded in complicated structure of contemporary world - democratic values, which have dominated circle of principles. The main role in this process was plaid by United Nations, that became promoter of peace and regard for otherness. The author analyze how international community had been changed. The awareness of circulation of values determines the way of human thinking and proclaimed such important factors in global system. Disproportions in development in different parts of the World are escalated by increasing economic cooperation between international actors, and Hi­tech achievements. Singular nation cannot solve this issue by itself. Challenges of globalization like: poverty and hunger, pollution, or gender unequal, demand transnational activity. Most of those disadvantages has argued how necessary global social movements are to neutralize global disproportions. The author notices that social activities in global assessment created new attitude for global citizens. Members of this new global community identify world as a common place. That project has been creating and in authors opinion belongs to one of the most important challenge in the future.

The aim of the research was to answer the question if (and how) legal regulations (including the aims, principles, instruments, mechanisms and procedures) of EU policy on development cooperation allow implementation of the objective of development cooperation referred to Article 3 and 21 Treaty of European Union and article 208 Treaty of Functioning of the European Union, which is the elimination of poverty and an attempt to identify improper regulations that prevent the effective implementation of the assistance and the identification of new, relevant solutions. As the result of the research it has been proved that the quality of aid depends not only on the validity of the economic concept but also on the quality and transparency of the law regulating the operation of organizations which provide assistance. Chaotic and not complementary regulation causes bad quality of implementation of the set objectives and tasks. As part of the work were discussed such research areas as: scope and subjective of the EU policy on development cooperation, the sources of law and the hierarchy of legislation, the competence of the institutions which implement EU development policy, areas of action, which includes the EU's development policy, efficiency and effectiveness of development cooperation's control mechanisms.
