Artykuł rozważa zmianę w endeckim dyskursie politycznym w okresie rewolucji 1905–1907. Podejmuję w nim analizę zmiany stosunku do "mas". Wizję modernizacji mas traktuję jako specyficzną formę dyskursu nowoczesności – reakcję na niezdeterminowanie, nieadekwatność politycznych instytucji i języków i gwałtowne rozszerzenie realnego uczestnictwa politycznego. Argumentuję, że określona koniunktura czy splot zdarzeń, zarówno z dziedziny myślenia politycznego, jak i procesów społecznych, wytworzyła specyficzną sytuację kryzysu, pewien moment polityczny. Określona reakcja na ten moment – w tym przypadku organicystyczny, hierarchiczny dyskurs wspólnoty i wizja zdyscyplinowanych mas pod endecką kontrolą, zadecydowała o kształcie całości endeckiego myślenia politycznego. Ów efekt ma swoje długofalowe konsekwencje i określa późniejszy kształt ideowy formacji endeckiej. ; The article examines a change in Polish National Democratic (Nationalist) political discourse accompanying the 1905 Revolution. In particular, I scrutinize the change in the conceptualization of "the masses". I consider a particular vision of the modernization of the masses as a form of discourse of modernity. Thus, I see it as a reaction to the indeterminacy of the social inadequacy of existing political institutions and discourses and the rapid widening of actual political participation. I argue that specific conjuncture between lineages of political thinking and social processes created a tipping point: a political moment or crisis. A particular answer for this moment – in this case an organic, hierarchic discourse of community and the envisioned whole of disciplined masses under the nationalistic control – defined the forthcoming shape of the National Democratic program. This resulted in long lasting consequences and defined the overall National Democratic project.

The reform of the civil service is one of the crucial issues of the political transformation in Poland after 1989. Constructing of the appropriate system of values, principles and procedures aiming to fulfill State's duties through the operating numerous clerks still poses a number of problems for the legislator. Thereby, the authors are also making an attempt to evaluate the regulations concerning the civil service from the perspective of anticipation of new directions of further changes in order to guarantee them compliance with the Polish Constitution from 2 April 1997 and the assurance of the effectiveness of the civil service. ; Reforma służby cywilnej należy do istotnych zagadnień w procesie transformacji ustrojowych w Polsce po 1989 r. Skonstruowanie odpowiedniego systemu wartości, zasad i procedur służących realizacji zadań państwa przez działający w jego strukturach korpus urzędników nastręczało i w dalszym ciągu stwarza ustawodawcy wiele problemów. Dlatego autorzy niniejszego opracowania podjęli próbę oceny regulacji prawnych dotyczących służby cywilnej pod kątem wskazania kierunków dalszych zmian w celu zagwarantowania ich zgodności z Konstytucją RP z dnia 2 kwietnia 1997 r. oraz zapewnienia efektywności działania administracji publicznej.

The main aim of the article is to present several of the most important patterns of modernization of the urban space in Warsaw in the post-1989 period, with particular emphasis on the different ways of treating the objects typical of late modernism, also called socmodernism, in the Third Reich. The reflections refer to the four types of social change identified in the context of historical institutionalism: survival and return; reproduction by adaptation; gradual transformation; breakdown and replacement. The author for his part distinguishes four general and seven more specific modernization options and shows their different urban-architectural examples, being present in Warsaw public space.

The article discusses issues concerning the choice and difficult selection of historic buildings from the area of the city of Przemyśl, which were put forward for inclusion in the list of Monuments of History. Due to geographical and historical factors, it was decided to place the main emphasis on the military value of the city. In the application for the list of monuments of history, apart from the old town within the remnants of the city walls, the list of objects was extended to include castellated Carmelite, Franciscan (FPOs) and Benedictine monasteries, in Zasanie, whose fortifications supported the defense of the city. The buildings of the barracks of the Fortress were also selected. All these elements made up a very large area, "insularly" scattered around the city and neighboring communes, with a varying degree of preservation of the historical substance. The text discusses the problem of the extent of the entry on the list of Historical Monuments, landscape, historical and artistic values of the city, the issues of protection and increasing the tourist value, and also poses a question about further prospects for the development of the city and the Fortress. ; W artykule, na podstawie analizy sytuacji miasta Poznania, wykazano, że status pomnika historii nie musi prowadzić do zahamowania rozwoju miasta w obszarze historycznym, ale pozwala także na jego wielokierunkowy i dynamiczny rozwój. Miasto w naturalny sposób podlega żywotnym przekształceniom i zabiegi ochronne nie stają w kontrze do tego zjawiska. Poznań, szczególnie w obszarze, które było areną wydarzeń historycznych od najdawniejszych jego dziejów, miał szansę wykształcenia specyficznego ducha miejsca, którego zachowanie stało się celem służb konserwatorskich już od lat 70-tych XX wieku. Rozwijane od tamtego momentu instrumenty planistyczne umożliwiają rzeczywistą ochronę dziedzictwa, jednak nie stają na drodze modernizacji przestrzeni publicznej. W artykule omówione zostały istniejące narzędzia konserwatorskie, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem roli miejscowych planów zagospodarowania przestrzennego, i podkreślona została rola zarządzania i finansowania na poziomie zarówno samorządowym jak i prywatnym.

ISAF operation is one of the hardest missions in the history of Polish Armed Forces in the Post‑Coll War era. Polish Army activity in Afghanistan is also noticeable among other NATO countries. However military involvement in this operation meets a number of challenges, especially when it comes to national security and defence policy. The article discusses these problems, such as: financial aspects of PKW Afghanistan; its influence on the process of modernization of Polish Army; military actitivy in Ghazni province; ideas to withdraw Polish forces prematurely; or political aspects of Polish involvement in Central Asia. Author distinguished several positive and negative aspects of Polish participation in the ISAF operation. Among negative, author listed e.g. the lack of complex solutions (financial, political, organizational) implemented by Poland to improve the security and functioning of PKW Afghanistan. However, it has to be also noted that the military involvement in Afghanistan allows to strengthen Polish position in the Atlantic Alliance. It also caused a major shift in the process of modernization of Polish Army.

The author claims that the development of the discipline of policy analysis and the professionalization of state activities in policymaking (from public education, public administration or political activities) takes the high quality policy studies. The policy analysis craft has plays many public role. Generally, its main task is to achieve the maximum of rational judgments relating to the key components in policymaking. It helps to diagnose the policy problems which affect the society and must be resolved, including capturing their dynamics before the damages are done. It supports as well the agenda setting which is to reflect the hierarchy of public problems. It helps to crystallize the evidence base which are to prove the effectiveness of policy intervention which has been planned. The author describes the historical circumstances in Poland shaping the cultural bias in policy analysis. He points to some public life practices which limit the inclination for analyzing policies or affect their quality. At the same time he emphasizes the significance of the professional policy analysis to make sure the decision making process is effective. It enables to detect many sorts of risks hidden on the stage of policy formulation and policy implementation. The public administration, political class, and many analytical institutions like think tanks have troubles in policy analysis. ; Autor dowodzi, że rozwój dyscypliny wiedzy o polityce publicznej wymaga silnie rozwiniętej kultury analizy w państwie i społeczeństwie. Stawia tezę mówiącą o istnieniu wielu trudności w kształtowaniu wysokiej kultury analizy w Polsce. Wskazuje na uwarunkowania kulturowe i niektóre praktyki w życiu zbiorowym, które ograniczają skłonność do analizy. Problemy z jakością kultury analizy widoczne są w administracji publicznej i klasie politycznej, a także we wciąż niedorozwiniętej sieci instytucji analitycznych typu think tanki. Jednocześnie autor podkreśla znaczenie profesjonalnej i nowoczesnej analizy dla uzyskania wysokiej jakości procesu decyzyjnego w państwie. Umożliwia ona ograniczenie wielu rodzajów ryzyka, które kryją się w procesie formułowania i wdrażania polityki publicznej, głębsze diagnozowanie problemów, jakie społeczeństwo chce i musi rozwiązywać. Ma za zadanie uchwycenie ich dynamiki, nim zacznie ona mieć niszczące skutki. Proces analizy wspiera również zadanie tworzenia właściwej agendy problemów, czyli takiej, która odzwierciedla hierarchię ważności problemów. Analiza może pomóc również udowodnić trafność zaplanowanej interwencji publicznej.

Over the period of its independence, Ukraine has gone through several stages of modernization of its electoral system, moving from system of absolute and mixed majority to proportional representation. What can this signify? Either the democratic principles of the national political system are strengthening and political institutions fully function in society, or a system of state authorities has actually transformed into the rule of oligarchic parties which control the activities of the government via parliament and are sufficiently independent from the President. By virtue of the constitutional reform from late 2004, Ukraine has transformed into a parliamentary-presidential republic, where the parliament is the core of control over executive power. Therefore, it is quite significant which parties win the elections. ; Over the period of its independence, Ukraine has gone through several stages of modernization of its electoral system, moving from system of absolute and mixed majority to proportional representation.

An important feature of the development processes in Mazovia is a deep polarization between Warsaw with its metropolitan area and the rest of the region. The capital (and surrounding municipalities) is a center for innovation in the country, but at the same time it leans more towards imitation of external solutions, rather than creation of original innovations. The situation in rural areas in the region is in this respect much worse. Public policy can stimulate innovative economy in these areas, although this is an extremely difficult task. The article presents recommendations on selected public policies, particularly enabling diversification of economic activities beyond agriculture which seems to be the most desirable direction of modernization changes.

The aim of the article is to show some trends in contemporary transformation of the public domain, and draw attention to certain analogies that occur between changes in the urban space and social modernization processes taking place at a wider, nationwide scale. In addition to the introduction and the conclusion, the text consists of two main parts: dedicated to theoretical considerations and empirical findings. The first part presents more general issues concerning the nature and significance of the urban public space and ways of interfering in its shape, taking into account in particular the phenomena referred to as revitalization (urban renewal) and gentrification. In the second part, for illustrative exemplification, three specific cases of modernizing impacts of various nature and effects that took place in recent years in Warsaw were briefly discussed.
