Danışman: DR. ÖĞR. ÜYESİ ALİHAN LİMONCUOĞLU Yer Bilgisi: İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi / Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü / Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler Anabilim Dalı / Güvenlik Araştırmaları Bilim Dalı Konu: Uluslararası İlişkiler = International Relations ; PKK terör örgütünün, 1984-2018 yılları arasında Türkiye'de örgütsel yapılar oluşturarak cebir ve şiddet yoluyla terör eylemleri uyguladığı ve halen devam ettirdiği görülmektedir. PKK terör örgütünün ortaya çıkması ile eylemlerine başlaması dış ülkelerle ilişkilerin çok farklı düzeyde olup desteklerini aldığı görülmüştür. Toplumda terörün şiddet ve korku yaymasıyla birlikte tehdit eden bir yapıyla da karşımıza çıktığı görülmüştür. Bu oluşumun karşısında güvenlik güçleri terörizmle mücadelede etkili ve başarılı olup, birçok şehit vermiştir. Ayrıca terörle mücadelenin sadece askeri ve kolluk güçleriyle değil, toplumun her kesimiyle ortak hareket etme bilincine de sahip olması gerektiği görülmüştür. Terör ve terörizmle mücadelenin askeri, siyasi, kültürel, ekonomik, uluslararası diplomasi ve işbirliği ile sosyal olarak ele alınması önem arz etmektedir. Bu tez çalışmasının amacı, ilk bölümde terör, terör örgütü ve terörizmin anlaşılması konusu incelenmiştir. İkinci bölümde, PKK terör örgütü teşkilatının kurulmasının ardından dış bağlantılarla ilişkisi ve örgüt elebaşı kurucu üyesi Abdullah Öcalan'ın getirilmesi incelenmiştir. Son bölümde ise, terörün Türkiye'ye medya ve basın yayın yoluyla ülkemize sosyolojik ve psikolojik yönden etkilerinin yansıması analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan çalışma sonucunda, Terör örgütü eylemlerinin psikolojik savaş olarak topluma yansıması acıları da beraberinde getirmiş, sosyal problemler ve psikolojik problemler toplumu olumsuz yönde etkilediği görülmüştür. ; PKK terrorist organization has set up organizations in Turkey between 1984 and 2018. Violent terror attacks still continue today. PKK has managed gain support from foreign actors depending on its ability to form international bonds. It is obvious that society felt threatened by the actions of the terrorist group which used violence and intimidation as a tool. Security forces have fought a succesful battle against thi organization however has suffered many casualties. Moreover, fight against terror should not only be through the work of security forces but with the conciousness to act in unison with every layer of the society. It is important to take into consideration: military, political, cultural, economics, international diplomacy and social factor when dealing with terrorism. The aim of this work and explainining what terrorism is looked at in the first part of this work. In the second part, PKK's relationship with international actors and how Abdullah Ocalan, the leader of PKK, was brought to Turkey was examined. In the last part, terror's psychological and sociological effect on Turkey through media was looked at. In this study, it has been seen that the acts of terrorist organization as a psychological war have brought the pain to the society and social problems and psychological problems negatively affect the society.

Yerel dinamiklerin harekete geçirilerek, bölgesel kalkınma hareketine son yıllarda önem ve öncelik verildiği görülmektedir. Kalkınma hamlesi aynı zamanda sosyal hukuk devleti olabilmenin de bir gereğidir. Devlet, bu ödevini oluşturduğu kural ve kurumları aracılığıyla yerine getirmeye çalışmaktadır. Çağımızda devletin kalkınma ve ekonomik yaşamda önemli bir aktör durumundadır. Devlet bir yandan ekonomik kalkınmayı gerçekleştirmek, diğer yandan da toplumsal barışı ve kamu düzenini korumakla ödevlidir. Türkiye?de sosyo-ekonomik kalkınmanın gerçekleştirilebilmesi maksadıyla son yıllarda idari teşkilata dahil edilen kalkınma ajansları, gerek kuruluş ve gerekse işleyiş yapıları bakımından birtakım sorunlar barındırmaktadır. Kalkınma sürecinin bürokratik engelleri bu türden idari yapılarla aşılmaya çalışılırken, "her şeye rağmen kalkınma mı?" sorusu akla geliyor Kuşkusuz değil. Çevresel değerleri yok edici bir kalkınma düşünülemeyeceğine göre, devlet sağlıklı ve dengeli bir çevrede yaşama hakkını göz ardı eden bir sosyo-kalkınma sürecine evet diyemez. Devlet, elindeki hukuk enstrümanları ile rasyonel bir denge kurmak zorundadır. Türkiye?nin kalkınma arayışında bölge ajansları kamu ve özel sektör paydaşlığında amacına uygun biçimde işletildiğinde olumlu sonuçlar elde edileceği söylenebilir. Ancak kalkınma ajanslarının uluslararası sermayenin doymak bilmeyen iştahını körüklemekten çok, toplum yararını kollaması şartıyla bu sonucun elde edilmesi mümkündür. Çevresel değerlerin feda edildiği ekonomik bir büyümenin kalkınma anlamına gelmeyeceğini acı deneyimler ortaya koymuştur. ; In recent years regional development and the movement is given priority by activating the local dynamics. Development is a requirement of being a social state governed by the rule of law. The State tries to fulfill these obligations by means of special rules and institutions. In our age the state is an important actor in the development process and economic life that steering, not rowing. The state on the one hand achieves economic development and ...

In the Europe of the European Union, policies and programmes on the social inclusion of millions of Euros have been presented for years in different countries, with a greater concentration in the countries of the South and neighbouring countries. This issue is of concern to state, regional and also local governments. The strategies proposed are also multilevel. It is the latter that have the most complicated role since they are the ones that are closest to the problem. For this last level of public administration, the main obstacle is the lack of resources, becoming clearly dependent on European, national and autonomous funds. The analysis of the plans guides us as to which aspects are the most important. This is the case of Barcelona, because it is an example of inclusive support measures and teamwork on a European and international scale. A theoretical model derived from the analysis of the theory and the results of the application of the different social policies of inclusion through training is presented, in which the leader has a determining role and a new actor is incorporated into the traditional models. ; In the Europe of the European Union, policies and programmes on the social inclusion of millions of Euros have been presented for years in different countries, with a greater concentration in the countries of the South and neighbouring countries.

This article outlines the social approach of meeting the challenges of energy policy in Poland in the context of potential shale gas extraction, focused on social perception and environmental protection policy. While Poland holds promising shale gas resources, the state of current technology indicates that shale gas exploitation is not imminent. However, shale deposits are still considered a potential future resource that could play a central role in diversifying energy sources, developing the economy, and potentially increasing the country's energy security. This paper presents energy opportunities of Poland, a review of Polish society opinion about energy and environment security. This study shows that Polish society sees a connection between energy, environment and policy problems, as well as potential benefits in the context of shale gas, based on research results of various institutions, including the European Commission. The author draws attention to tasks before the economic exploitation of shale gas in order to optimizing socio-economic benefits, and short- and long-term impacts. Since we are a common Europe, a common space for people, we can create an energy policy. It is the way the topic of energy diversification opportunities in Poland and the building of consistent energy and environmental protection policy is still an important issue to discuss in humanistic and economic fields. ; W niniejszym artykule nakreślono społeczne podejście do wyzwań polityki energetycznej w Polsce w kontekście potencjalnego wydobycia gazu łupkowego, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem percepcji społecznej i polityki ochrony środowiska. Chociaż Polska posiada obiecujące zasoby gazu łupkowego, stan obecnej technologii wskazuje, że eksploatacja tego surowca nie jest bliska. Jednak złoża łupków są nadal uważane za potencjalny przyszły zasób, który mógłby odegrać kluczową rolę w dywersyfikacji źródeł energii i rozwoju gospodarczym oraz potencjalnym zwiększeniu bezpieczeństwa energetycznego kraju. W artykule przedstawiono możliwości energetyczne Polski, przegląd opinii polskiego społeczeństwa na temat bezpieczeństwa energetycznego i ochrony środowiskowego. Z badania różnych instytucji, w tym Komisji Europejskiej wynika, że społeczeństwo polskie widzi związek między problemami energetycznymi, środowiskowymi i politycznymi, a także potencjalnymi korzyściami w kontekście gazu łupkowego. Autorka zwraca uwagę na zadania stojące przed ekonomiczną eksploatacją gazu łupkowego w celu optymalizacji korzyści społeczno-ekonomicznych oraz oddziaływań krótko i długoterminowych. Jako że jesteśmy wspólną Europą, wspólną przestrzenią dla ludzi, możemy wspólnie kształtować politykę energetyczną i środowiskową. Stąd podjęty w `niniejszym artykule temat pozostaje ważną kwestią do dyskusji.

Książka stanowi tom studiów autorstwa polskich i zagranicznych językoznawców poświęcony zmianom we współczesnych językach słowiańskich, szczególnie widocznym w słownictwie i słowotwórstwie. Uwzględnienie aspektu stylowo-funkcjonalnego w rozwoju leksyki pozwala lepiej zrozumieć dynamikę zmian językowych i skuteczność działań komunikacyjnych. Celowościowy i pragmatyczny charakter zachowań komunikacyjnych ujawnia się szeroko w uwzględnionych przez Autorów kontekstach społecznych, politycznych i kulturowych. Prace zostały pogrupowane w trzy działy tematyczne: - Zjawiska, procesy i tendencje rozwojowe w słownictwie specjalistycznym (terminologii); - Dynamika mechanizmów słowotwórczych i leksykalnych; - Zmiany leksykalne we współczesnej komunikacji językowej i dyskursie. Wyodrębnione działy pomagają uporządkować przedstawioną w tomie problematykę, wskazując na dominantę tematyczną w poszczególnych tekstach. Zakresy tych grup nie są jednak ostre, złożona i wielowarstwowa problematyka tendencji i zmian we współczesnym słownictwie słowiańskim jest omawiana w różnym stopniu w każdym z wydzielonych działów. W większości prac zastosowano podejście konfrontatywne, pozostałe stanowią podstawę do takiego ujęcia. Do badań wykorzystany został bogaty materiał języków słowiańskich: polskiego, czeskiego, słowackiego, białoruskiego, rosyjskiego, ukraińskiego, bułgarskiego, słoweńskiego, a także innych języków, jak np. nowogreckiego. ; This volume of studies by Polish and international linguists is devoted to changes in modern Slavic languages, which are especially noticeable in the spheres of vocabulary and word formation. Taking into consideration the stylistic and functional aspect of lexis development allows for a better understanding of the dynamics of language change and the efficacy of communicational acts. The purposeful and pragmatic character of communicational behaviour manifests itself widely in the social, political and cultural contexts considered by the Authors. The works comprising the volume are divided into three thematic sections: - Phenomena, processes and tendencies in the development of specialist lexis (terminology); - Word formation and lexical mechanisms dynamics; - Lexical change in modern language communication and discourse. The sections help organize the volume by highlighting the dominant theme in particular texts. The scopes of the sections are, nevertheless, not sharply delineated – each section is to an equal extent devoted to the complex and multifaceted subject-matter of the tendencies and changes in modern Slavic vocabulary. Most of the works comprised in the volume adopt a contrastive approach, the remaining ones can serve as bases for contrastive studies. The text analyse the rich material of the Slavic languages – Polish, Czech, Slovak, Belarusian, Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian and Slovene – as well as of other languages, like Modern Greek. ; Publikacja finansowana ze środków Instytutu Slawistyki Polskiej Akademii Nauk

Research objective: The aim of the paper is to identify the economic, political, and social problems surrounding the issue of the British–EU border, taking as theoretical background the concepts and measures of International economics. The research problem and method: The research problem undertaken is the problem of borders within the context of disintegration. The research methods used were the analytical-descriptive method, comparative method, and case study. The process of argumentation: Currently, in the European Union we observe two parallel processes; on one hand the process of enlargement by accepting new members, on the other the process of its disintegration, which is exemplified in the United Kingdom exit. Although in the light of current political turmoil it cannot be ruled out that another EU member will leave the EU, e.g. Italy, long-term integration tendencies seem to be more permanent than disintegrative ones. Research results: With regard to the causes and causative forces of both these opposing processes, one may risk the assertion that while the underlying economic processes are based more on economic reasons, in the case of disintegration the political motives prevail. Both historical disintegration experiments as well as those concerning Brexit, which the political motives (referendum) decided unambiguously, lead to such conclusions. Conclusions, innovations, and recommendations: The border issue requires an interdisciplinary approach, which in the economic aspect is placed within the framework of international economics, particularly the theory of integration and trade policy. It also requires analysis in the light of regional policy, especially if cross-border economic cooperation is analyzed. ; CEL NAUKOWY: Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja ekonomicznych, politycznych oraz społecznych problemów związanych z granicą brytyjsko‑unijną, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem granicy wewnątrzirlandzkiej. PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Przedmiotem niniejszego tekstu jest zagadnienie granicy rozpatrywane w kontekście dezintegracji na przykładzie brexitu. Zastosowano głównie metodę analityczno‑opisową oraz porównawczą, a także studium przypadku. PROCES WYWODU: W artykule przedstawiono zagadnienie granicy w świetle teorii ekonomii międzynarodowej, następnie scharakteryzowano specyfikę granicy brytyjsko‑unijnej ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem granicy z Irlandią Północną, a następnie opisano brytyjsko‑irlandzką transgraniczną współpracę gospodarczą w kontekście jej uwarunkowań historycznych. WYNIKI ANALIZY NAUKOWEJ: Autor odpowiada na pytanie, jaką funkcję ekonomiczną w świetle teorii pełni granica międzypaństwowa w procesie dezintegracji gospodarczej, mając na uwadze jej rolę w procesie integracji, a szerzej patrząc w międzynarodowych stosunkach gospodarczych. WNIOSKI, INNOWACJE, REKOMENDACJE: W międzynarodowych stosunkach gospodarczych granice międzypaństwowe odgrywają bardzo ważną rolę, ponieważ współokreślają instytucjonalne warunki internacjonalizacji gospodarek narodowych oraz funkcjonujących w nich przedsiębiorstw, a także determinują rozwój społeczeństw po obu stronach granicy.

In the group of Central Asian countries, the Republic of Kazakhstan appears to be scientifically best communicated with Europe. Thus it has raised an increasingly strong interest – also on the part of comparative law researchers. The subject matter of this article is an attempt to reform territorial administration and to establish territorial self-government in Kazakhstan. The reforms have not been implemented without any resistance or mistakes, it is important, however, that the need to change and modernize local government structures is discerned. The debate over the constitutional reform of the local political system favours the construction of social awareness of the fact that a clear distinction between the territorial government administration and territorial self-government as well as the latter's independence, determines the construction of civil society and democratization of social life. ; Artykuł nie zawiera abstraktu w języku polskim

This paper presents the significance of the issues related to the activity of territorial self-government for the social and economic development of Ukraine. The efficient operation of self-government in any country is unfeasible without financial resources. Polish experience in the development of territorial self-government is particularly valuable in relation to the reform of Ukraine's self-government. The paper outlines the differences in the structure and operation of territorial self-government in both countries. The paper is concluded with numerous observations on the direction of selected reforms of Ukrainian self-government. It shows the weaknesses of local self-government in Ukraine, which result from the lack of decentralization of finance and the small amount of state-collected taxes. The conclusions end with the observation that a consistent development of the Ukrainian state is required for Poland to develop well.

The COVID-19 epidemic has had a substantial impact on Polish legislation since the beginning of 2020. The economic slowdown and the consequent fall in the state budget revenue are among the anticipated effects of the epidemic. As a result, provisions introducing lex specialis to the Labour Code and certain employment regulations specifying dissolution of employment relationships in some public administration organisations became part of the COVID-19 Act. The new legal construct comes down to extensive facilitation in the process of redundancies for employers dismissing their employees. The protective function of labour law provisions insofar as it upholds duration of the employment relationship is consequently restricted. Provisions of the COVID-19 Act in this respect are unacceptable. Each regulation should arise from objectively identified needs to legally govern social relationships and should not inflate laws or undermine citizens' trust in legislation. The postulate of this legal direction of determining social relationships is particularly important with regard to relationships of employment, in particular, those founded on appointment in public administration. The possibility of identical treatment of employees hired on various legal grounds merely appears to conform with the constitutional protection of equality in law. Without detriment to employers' right to determine employment levels, the new regulations in connection with the COVID-19 epidemic seem unnecessary, since their objectives can be attained by application of normal remedies provided for by labour law. ; Epidemia COVID-19 od początku 2020 r. w istotnym stopniu wpływa na działania legislacyjne polskiego ustawodawcy. Jednym z przewidywanych następstw epidemii jest spowolnienie gospodarcze i idące za nim zmniejszenie dochodów budżetu państwa. Okoliczność ta sprawiła, że w ustawie COVID-19 znalazły się przepisy wprowadzające do polskiego prawa pracy przepisy będące lex specialis do przepisów zawartych w Kodeksie pracy i w niektórych pragmatykach pracowniczych określających rozwiązywanie stosunków pracy w niektórych jednostkach organizacyjnych administracji publicznej. Istota nowej konstrukcji prawnej sprowadza się do ustanowienia dla pracodawców zwalniających pracowników daleko idących ułatwień w procesie zmniejszania zatrudnienia. W konsekwencji dochodzi do ograniczenia ochronnej funkcji realizowanej przez przepisy prawa pracy, wyrażającej się w ochronie trwałości stosunku pracy. Regulacji ustawy COVID-19 w tym zakresie nie sposób zaakceptować. Każda regulacja powinna wynikać z obiektywnie stwierdzonych potrzeb prawnego uregulowania stosunków społecznych, nie powinna wprowadzać inflacji przepisów oraz obniżać poczucia zaufania obywatela do tworzonego przez pracodawcę prawa. Postulat o takim kierunku prawnego określania stosunków społecznych jest szczególnie doniosły w odniesieniu do stosunków pracy, w tym zwłaszcza do stosunków pracy na podstawie mianowania w administracji publicznej. Wprowadzenie możliwości jednakowego traktowania pracowników zatrudnionych na różnej podstawie tylko pozornie wpisuje się w konstytucyjnie chronioną równość prawa. Nie kwestionując prawa pracodawców do determinowania poziomu zatrudnienia, nie wydaje się konieczne uchwalanie w związku z epidemią COVID-19 nowych przepisów, gdyż cele, jakim mają służyć, mogą zostać osiągnięte przy zastosowaniu zwykłych środków prawnych przewidzianych prawem pracy.

The gathered empirical material (110 respondents) allowed the author to analyze the understanding of the results of the transformation of the political system in Poland, which occurred 30 years ago, among the farmers in the Sandomierz area. The aim of the analyses presented in the article is to describe generalised interpretations of the facts connected with the former political system and within their context, the assessments of the results of the systemic and economic transformations in the social and individual dimension. In general, the farmers feel they are the beneficiaries of the changes as a professional group. The diachronic assessment of the individual financial situation and the conditions of functioning of agriculture and economy in the country is very positive. The minority of the respondents has a sense of satisfaction due to the fact of Poland joining the UE. According to the farmers, at the beginning of the transformation period, the most important part of their action strategieswas played by individual and non-institutional resources. In their opinion, currently, there is still no equality of opportunities. Almost half of the respondents appreciate the introduction of the democratic system. The farmers are dissatisfied the most with the transfers of ownership; they appreciate the sphere of individual freedoms. The performed valorisation of multiple phenomena happening in the past three decades proves that there are varied expectations and as a result there are varied mindsets among respondents towards the transformation. The attitudes of satisfaction with the changes on the individual and macro-structural levels are dominant. ; Zebrany materiał empiryczny (110 respondentów) pozwolił na analizę rozumienia przez rolników Sandomierszczyzny skutków transformacji systemowej po upływie 30 lat od jej zaistnienia. Celem analiz zamieszczonych w artykule jest przedstawienie uogólnionych interpretacji faktów związanych z minionym ustrojem i w ich kontekście ocen rezultatów przemian ustrojowych i gospodarczych w wymiarze społecznym i jednostkowym. Rolnicy czują się w większości beneficjentami zmian jako grupa zawodowa. Bardzo pozytywna jest diachroniczna ocena indywidualnej sytuacji finansowej i warunków funkcjonowania rolnictwa oraz gospodarki kraju. Mniejszość badanych ma poczucie zadowolenia z przystąpienia Polski do UE. Według rolników u progu transformacji w strategii działania liczyły się zasoby indywidualne oraz zasoby pozainstytucjonalne. Twierdzą oni, że obecnie nadal brak jest równości szans. Niemal połowa badanych docenia wprowadzenie systemu demokratycznego. Rolnicy są najbardziej niezadowoleni z przekształceń własnościowych w państwie, doceniają zaś sferę wolności indywidualnych. Dokonana waloryzacja wielorakich zjawisk toczących się w minionych trzech dekadach świadczy o zróżnicowanych oczekiwaniach i co za tym idzie zróżnicowanych postawach respondentów wobec transformacji. Dominują postawy zadowolenia ze zmian w wymiarze indywidualnym i makrostrukturalnym.

Historical policy versus the politics of remembrance is undoubtedly a policy, or a peculiar way to 'conduct policy,' where the optimally true knowledge of history as well as falsified and mythicized information about the past are a means to maintain, win and participate in power. By this token, historical policy is about the instrumentalization of the knowledge of history and mythicized accounts or opinions of the past for the sake of the implementation of a political agenda.So far, the concept of 'historical policy' has not yet become a clear academic category, which makes it difficult to agree what it actually encompasses. Still, the concept of 'historical policy' stands a chance of becoming an objective category in political science. Some professional historians may lean towards a certain skepticism, especially if they accept the traditional paradigm of studying the history of society.Misunderstandings regarding the issue of 'historical policy' sometimes result in a tendency to reject the possibility of this concept being applied by academics from the humanities and social fields of science. Recently, the issue of 'historical policy' has become of interest to political scientists, whose area of study involves the multiplicity of 'detailed policies.''Historical policy' is also discussed by many journalists who do not always present deepened reflections and concrete attitudes, as they rather tend to express their subjective views. It turns out that some Polish historians, political scientists and journalists are embroiled in the current political dispute in Poland. They frequently assume the role of lobbyists or opponents of one option of historical policy or another. The issue of historical policy requires analysis and explanation in an objective and multidisciplinary manner. It is a positive phenomenon that more and more publications with academic aspirations are emerging on this subject in Poland. One should recommend the cooperation between political scientists and historians in order to review and reliably explain planned and executed historical policy in a comparative manner. ; Historical policy versus the politics of remembrance is undoubtedly a policy, or a peculiar way to 'conduct policy,' where the optimally true knowledge of history as well as falsified and mythicized information about the past are a means to maintain, win and participate in power.

This article comprises a sketch of the most important perspectives on local government. Among other things, it also aims to present the unique nature of government at the mezzo-social level. Here the concepts of political governing are considered as a social relationship and social resource; proposed, too, is the application of the category of the social field in the analysis of local government. Such social fields are characterized by both relations and resources associated with power when viewed from the standpoint of actions and structures. A separate aspect making itself known in the field of political power is its manifestations and influences.

Parlament Europejski przeszedł w ciągu ponad sześciu dekad swego istnienia znaczącą ewolucję, zarówno w wymiarze ilościowym, jak i jakościowym. Od 1979 r. wyłaniany jest w oparciu o powszechne wybory. Ostatnie wybory odbyły się w maju 2014 r. W Niemczech wybierano 96 posłów. Nieco wcześniej Federalny Trybunał Konstytucyjny zlikwidował klauzulę wyborczą, dzięki czemu aż 14 partii niemieckich dostało się do Parlamentu Europejskiego. Najwięcej głosów zdobyły tradycyjne partie - chadecy i socjaldemokraci. Aż siedem partii uzyskało po jednym mandacie. Głównym celem artykułu jest analiza programów wyborczych partii niemieckich biorących udział w rywalizacji wyborczej, zwłaszcza kwestie Wspólnej Polityki Zagranicznej i Bezpieczeństwa oraz problemów instytucjonalnych UE. Autor dokonuje ponadto analizy wyników wyborów i prezentuje wnioski dotyczące ewolucji niemieckiej sceny politycznej. ; In the period of over six decades of its operations, the European Parliament has evolved considerably, both in quantitative and qualitative terms. Since 1979, the EP has been elected in general elections. The latest were held in May 2014. Ninety-six members of the EP were elected in Germany. Before the elections, the Federal Constitutional Court in Germany abandoned the threshold clause, allowing as many as fourteen German political parties to enter the EP. The traditional parties, the Christian Democrats and Social Democrats, won the majority of votes. As many as seven parties won a single mandate. The main purpose of this paper is to analyse the election platforms of German parties competing in the elections, in particular as concerns the matters of the Common Foreign and Security Policy and institutional problems faced by the EU. The analysis of the election results is also made, followed by conclusions on the evolution of German political arena.

The NGOs cooperate with self-government because they have common goals, as well as because of the public funds that are at the disposal of territorial authorities. Public authorities should to higher extend delegate the public tasks to NGOs as those organizations, undertaking a part of public tasks devoted to self- -governments, fill in the gaps in meeting the inhabitants' needs, as well as solve numerous social problems in territorial units. The article presents the selected aspects of cooperation between NGOs in Poland and public authorities operation on a regional level. Firstly, the place and role of NGOs in the economy and society was presented. The next part concerns areas of cooperation of self-government units with NGOs in Poland. The analysis of financial cooperation between the given partners was presented on an example of the regional situation of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship Self-government. ; Organizacje pozarządowe współpracują z samorządem terytorialnym ze względu na wspólne cele oraz środki publiczne będące w gestii władz terytorialnych. Władze te powinny w większym stopniu delegować zadania publiczne do tych organizacji, gdyż pozwoliłoby to na uzupełnienie luki w zaspokojeniu potrzeb mieszkańców oraz rozwiązywać różnorakie problemy społeczne we wspólnotach terytorialnych. Tekst prezentuje wybrane aspekty współpracy pomiędzy organizacjami pozarządowymi w Polsce a samorządem terytorialnym, szczególnie województwami. Na początku przedstawiono miejsce i rolę organi-zacji pozarządowych w gospodarce i społeczeństwie. Następna część dotyczy płaszczyzn współpracy jednostek samorządowych z tymi organizacjami w Polsce. Analiza współpracy pomiędzy wymienionymi partnerami w gospodarce regionalnej w aspekcie finansowym została dokonana na przykładzie samorządu województwa kujawsko-pomorskiego.
