W. Stankiewicz, a trained soldier and economist, devoted most of his life to scientific work in three fields. The first one was the economics of war. W. Stankiewicz belonged to a small group of academics who refined the subject and set out the scope of research of this discipline. Moreover, contrary to his intentions, he also helped to popularize the term "logistics" and its development as a science and a practical activity in our country. No less fruitful, as a second field of research, was a combination of considerations in the field of military and economic sciences, which originally gave the results in the form of publications on the development of military and economic thought, and then a great synthesis of the development of universal economic thought. Institutional economics became the third stage and field of his research. W. Stankiewicz proved to be the first, most insightful expert in the economic school and its most ardent propagator.

The paper emphasizes that outer space has become an object of interest for different states relatively recently. Therefore, there is no detailed international law to regulate the activity of states in outer space. Current regulations were mainly drawn up at the turn of the 1960s, and they do not fully correspond to the reality of today. The drawing up of modern space law will be a dynamic process owing to the rapid evolution of space technology and an increasing exploration potential. As the activity of states in outer space is rapidly changing, laws to be drawn up may frequently be prepared ad hoc, in response to the newly emerging problems. It may be exceptionally difficult to enact a new convention to regulate general issues of outer space, in the way it has been done with respect to the law of the sea, as some countries (in particular the United States) may oppose the limitation of their plans to explore and utilize outer space. In order to maintain peace and balance, it may be necessary to establish a new international organization for the purpose of dealing with outer space. This organization would provide a forum to solve disputes, such as those concerning the development of satellite systems, the principles of teledetection, or armaments in space. A considerable portion of inter-state disputes concerning outer space will have to be solved by bilateral agreements, reached through a compromise, as there are no specialized organs authorized to act in the realm of outer space. A dynamically conducted exploration of outer space depends on the amount of expenditure allocated to the space programs of individual states. The amount of financing available is influenced by the economy (at the time of the slowdown that began in 2008 space agencies have had to envisage limited budgets). The prestige of space exploration is an aspect of particular importance. In order to increase its importance in the international arena, states are ready to allocate considerable means for spectacular space activities. It can be observed at present that states are increasingly competing with each other for prestige rather than for strategic purposes. This can easily be observed with respect to the developing countries, such as China and India. The pace of activities in space will be influenced by the ability of the states to cooperate. The specific nature of great space investments usually requires huge expenditure, therefore it would be advantageous to combine the financial contributions of various states. Joint projects would promote peaceful utilization of outer space.

Diese Arbeit untersucht den Entwicklungsstand des polnischen Telekommunikationssektors, speziell des Festnetzes, im Hinblick auf den bevorstehenden Beitritt zur Europäischen Union. Der Beitritt erfordert von Polen sowohl die Übernahme des acquis communautaire als auch eine geeignete Vorbereitung des polnischen Telekommunikationsmarktes auf die EU-Wettbewerbsverhältnisse. Unter Berücksichtigung der verfügbaren Technologien, des Grades der bereits erfolgten rechtlichen Anpassung und auf Basis einer landesweiten Marktanalyse wird die im Sinne des Universaldienstziels definierte Unterversorgung mit Telefoninfrastruktur in ländlichen Regionen als das Kernproblem identifiziert und en detail diskutiert. Dabei werden die für Polen spezifischen Markt- und Regulierungsbedingungen untersucht sowie Politikempfehlungen formuliert, die speziell eine Verbesserung der Flächendeckung mit Telefonanschlüssen auf dem Land zum Ziel haben.

RELATIVISM IS COMING TO PLAY A LARGER PART IN THE EXERCISE OF SOVEREIGN POWER. STATE LAW IS BEING INCREASINGLY RECOGNIZED AS A SET A NORMS ADAPTED TO PARTICULAR CONDITIONS: SOME HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL, SOME GEOGRAPHIC. RELATIVISM HAS GONE FAR TO DISCREDIT THE UNIVERSALISTIC VIEW AS OPPOSED TO THE SOVEREIGN STATE.
