The purpose of the paper is to study the actions undertaken by the European institutions, aiming at a larger openness of resources, such as cultural works, scientific publications and educational materials, as well as to examine the motivations and results thereof. The European Union, being the area of production of a significant number of works belonging to each of the aforementioned categories, views these resources as strategic to its development. Thus it has taken diverse measures in order to maintain an appropriate balance between the public (social) interests, understood as open access to the resources, and the private interests, prioritising the protection of the owner's rights. The paper demonstrates that these actions are not uniform due to a diverse character and standing of these resources in the economy. The first instruments regarding scientific and educational resources had been implemented ten years before the implementation of legislative measures concerning the cultural products. Hence the public interests, meaning users' access, were treated as more important than the private proprietary rights.

Unia Europejska, w której tworzy się wiele dzieł należących do każdej z wymienionych dziedzin i która przyznaje, że są to zasoby strategiczne dla jej rozwoju, podejmuje działania w zakresie polityki publicznej w celu zachowania równowagi pomiędzy interesem publicznym (społecznym), czyli dostępem do owych zasobów, jak i interesem prywatnym, a więc prawami właścicieli. Ze względu na odmienny charakter i miejsce tych zasobów w gospodarce, działania te nie mają jednorodnego charakteru. Zasobami naukowymi i edukacyjnymi zajęto się około 10 lat wcześniej niż zasobami kultury. Również interes społeczny, czyli dostęp odbiorców, okazał się w ich wypadku ważniejszy niż prywatne prawa własności.

Over recent years, open access has developed very dynamically in the world. Many countries have implemented an open access policy and created different ways to publicize the results of scientific research. There are many rules and guidelines related to it, among others Plan S, which aims to implement from 2020 full and unrestricted access to publications resulting from the results of research financed from public funds. The introduction of such activities involves signing and, in particular, transforming existing contracts with publisher into agreements based on the principles of open access the so-called transformative agreements. Standards are created to support national consortia and libraries in negotiating the implementation of a new type of contract, eg. five negotiation rules with LIBER publishers (Ligue des Bibliothèques Européennes de Recherche – Association of European Research Libraries). The aim of the paper is to present good practices and familiarize with activities implemented in the world in the implementation of open access strategies, in particular policies of selected European Union countries in negotiations with scientific publishers, which may become an inspiration for activities related to openness in science implemented in Poland. ; Przez ostatnie lata otwarty dostęp rozwijał się na świecie bardzo dynamicznie. Wiele krajów wdrożyło politykę otwartego dostępu i utworzyło różne ścieżki upubliczniania wyników badań naukowych. Powstało wiele zasad i wytycznych z tym związanych m.in. Plan S, którego celem jest wdrożenie od 2020 r. pełnego i nieograniczonego dostępu do publikacji powstających z wyników badań finansowanych ze środków publicznych. Z wprowadzeniem tego typu działań związane jest podpisywanie, a w szczególności przekształcanie dotychczasowych umów z wydawcami na umowy oparte na zasadach otwartego dostępu (ang. transformative agreements). Tworzone są standardy pozwalające na wsparcie konsorcjów krajowych i bibliotek w negocjowaniu wdrażania nowego typu umów np. pięć zasad negocjacji z wydawcami LIBER (Ligue des Bibliothèques Européennes de Recherche – Stowarzyszenie Europejskich Bibliotek Naukowych). Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie dobrych praktyk i przybliżenie działań realizowanych na świecie w zakresie wprowadzania strategii otwartego dostępu, a zwłaszcza polityk wybranych krajów Unii Europejskiej w negocjacjach z wydawcami naukowymi, które mogą stać się inspiracją do działań związanych z otwartością w nauce realizowanych w Polsce.

For much of the 20th century Polish governments heavily regulated foreign trade, but the degree of this influence differed. When Poland became independent in1918, the state took almost complete control over the sector. Atentative liberalization was stopped by the customs war with Germany in1925, and later by the Great Depression. The final years before the Second World War saw an increase inthe state's influence through the exchange control. Regulations became stricter under different conditions inthe post-war period, with the state monopolizing foreign trade entirely. After the end of Stalinism in1956, Poland slowly opened up its economy, but until the 1980s changes were limited inscope. Atrue breakthrough came with the transition, which started in1989. Notonly did the country open up, but inthe coming years, the government ceded some of its powers relating toforeign trade tothe European Union. During the interwar period, as well as after 1989, Poland followed worldwide trends. The communist period was an aberration inthe sense of producing an ineffective system. Both before the war and under the communist regime, foreign trade was expected tobring mostly static gains. This changed significantly only after 1989. ; Wpolskiej polityce handlowej naprzestrzeni ostatnich stu latmożna zaobserwować fluktuacje wstopniu wpływu państwa nawymianę. Zaczęto od niemal pełnej kontroli państwa nad handlem zagranicznym uprogu niepodległości, następnie trend stopniowej liberalizacji został przerwany przez wojnę celną zNiemcami iwielki kryzys, zaś ostatnie lata przed wybuchem drugiej wojny światowej były świadkami ponownego przejęcia kontroli nad handlem zagranicznym przez rozbudowane instytucje państwowe. Wzrost zaangażowania państwa wystąpił wzupełnie innym kontekście pozakończeniu wojny wraz zwprowadzoną przez komunistów monopolizacją wymiany międzynarodowej. Po okresie stalinowskim doszło do odwrócenia kierunku zmian istopniowej liberalizacji wymiany. Początkowo była ona bardzo ograniczona, przyspieszyła jednak wlatach 80., zasadniczy przełom nastąpił zaś wtrakcie transformacji gospodarczej po1989 r. Charakterystyczną konsekwencją integracji gospodarczej następnych latbyło scedowanie wielu instrumentów prowadzenia polityki handlowej nainstytucje międzynarodowe –przede wszystkim zaś naUnię Europejską. Zarówno wczasie Drugiej, jak iTrzeciej Rzeczypospolitej, polityka handlowa prowadzona była zgodnie ztrendami światowymi. Odstępstwem od nich była narzucona zzewnątrz polityka latkomunizmu.

In the analysis of different attitudes of Polish political groups towards the European Union and the Constitutional Treaty one needs to take into account historical context as well as the political one. It is a spontaneous approach in Poland to think about the Poles in terms of a nation rather than in tzenship. The collapse of communism was followed by an eruption of national feeling, yet many Poles also wanted Poland to open itsEurope. The opportunity to gainss the European Union was, i enst for Poles. The opponents of the EU are fuelled by the sh historical experience of losing our identity. They represent the so-called closed orientation, in which one defends one' ways while being very distrustful towards the EU. By contrast, an open orientation strives for collaation, seeks cooperation and is trustful European integration. This is reflected in lish political arena. ; In the analysis of different attitudes of Polish political groups towards the European Union and the Constitutional Treaty one needs to take into account historical context as well as the political one.

Article deals with legal possibilities of obtaining information on the Internet. It indicates methods of obtaining information legally (such as open source intelligence) and methods recognized in Polish law as unlawful (such as activities aimed at disrupting the operation of an IT system). The article also discusses the issues of phishing, the use of false identity in the Internet (so-called sock puppetry), as well as the information potential of metadata analysis.

The article is an attempt at bringing two novels together: Dziewczęta z Nowolipek written by Pola Gojawiczyńska (1935) and Dziewczyny z Portofino by Grażyna Plebanek (2005). It features a presentation of motives, which cause the two publications to be "sorolal" pieces of work. Those elements were chosen because of their essential meaning for problematic aspects of woman's issues, which is present in texts. Interpretative potential disclosed by these measures opens the field for further explorations.

This paper is an attempt to analyse European leadership and the role played by a reunited Germany in the European Union. The author proposes five fundamental theses: 1) the reunification of Germany ruined the balance of power in Europe; 2) the Eastern enlargement of NATO and the EU has moved the zone of political and military influence of the USA to the line of the Bug river; 3) the Germans have confirmed their position as a European power; 4) the foreign policy of Angela Merkel is a continuation of Gerhard Schroder's policy, meaning a transfer of the focus from European policy to prioritising German national interests; 5) the German issue has remained open. ; This paper is an attempt to analyse European leadership and the role played by a reunited Germany in the European Union.

The author highlights that Russia has ceased to be the liberator and the stronghold of the global revolution, the leader of the bloc, the defender of the 'only right ideology' and the model of a political system for other states, it was the times of the USSR. This realization Moscow continuously pursue policy to regain its position on the international arena. It is unlikely, however, that Russia will be able to fulfill her ambition by means of territorial expansion: the primary role of the economy inern international relations allows us to assume that Russia will not decide to enter an open confrontation with theWest as she is gradually made increasingly more dependent onWestern financial centers. ; The author highlights that Russia has ceased to be the liberator and the stronghold of the global revolution, the leader of the bloc, the defender of the 'only right ideology' and the model of a political system for other states, it was the times of the USSR.

The national identity of Poles living in the Grodno region began to manifest itself in the early 1990s as a continuation of the tendency to promote national movements, encouraged by the Soviet Union. After Belarus became independent, Poles have had more opportunities to develop their national culture, and they have began to actively set up numerous minority organizations, open Polish schools and Polish houses, etc. Poles were the most numerous, yet one of many minorities living in the Grodno region, and they have harmoniously integrated with this highly ethnically diversified society. The conflicts emerging within the Union of Poles of Belarus, which receive so much attention in the Polish media, reflect internal conflicts in one of numerous Polish organizations operating in the Grodno region, and they should not affect the situation of all Poles in Belarus. ; The national identity of Poles living in the Grodno region began to manifest itself in the early 1990s as a continuation of the tendency to promote national movements, encouraged by the Soviet Union.

The goal of the study is to analyze the non‑Western interpretations of sustainable development concept and the role of international organizations and international public goods in their potential realization. Numerous political and economic contradictions generated by the experiences of colonization and decolonization of the region make Western and regional understanding of the concept substantially different. While from the global perspective it is perceived as an imperative, locally it may be interpreted as a veiled form of neocolonialism. The differences result in wide range of problems, from minor misunderstandings to open resentment. The goal of the article is to prove that regional international organizations and international public goods have the potential to become a key to develop mutually acceptable form of sustainable development concept and practice.
