Stability and Change in Household Computer Possession in Poland: Analysis of Structural Determinants

Author(s): Brian E. Green,Maciej D. Kryszczuk / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2006

Keywords: informational society; personal computers; internet; digital divide; informatization; social change; occupational structure; social stratification; structural determinants

This article expresses the results from a set of analyses that had the following goals: 1) to describe the nature and process of informatization in Poland from 1988 to 2003; 2) to understand the factors that contribute to the digital divide in Poland; and 3) to contribute to the theoretical discourses on social dynamics and modernization. Studying the development of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in Poland is useful for both theoretical and methodological reasons. In 1989 the penetration of digital technology was low, however in 15 years since then, informatization has progressed to the point where it is on par with the rest of Western Europe and North America. This provides a good opportunity for examining the factors associated with the digital divide. Furthermore, as Poland developed intensely over a short period of time, it is likely to demonstrate a pattern similar to those countries which will go through the digital revolution in coming decades.

Non-Profit Foundations in Four Countries of Central and Eastern Europe

Author(s): Mikko Lagerspetz,Marek Skovajsa / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2006

Keywords: post-communist societies; third sector; foundations; Czech Republic; Estonia; Hungary; Poland

The paper presents an analysis of roles and visions of foundations in four Central and Eastern European countries: the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary and Poland. It offers a comparative account of the relevant legislation and the paths taken by these four foundation sectors in the aftermath of the 1989-91 democratic reďgime changes. They are depicted against a background characterized, among other things, by a partial demise of the state and rapid development of non-profit organizations. Using the methodology and conceptualizations of the research project Roles and visions of foundations in Europe, the authors describe the role profiles of foundations in these countries. They distinguish between role expectations of foundation stakeholders and the roles foundations are actually able to perform, given existing constraints such as legal regulations and limited own resources. The roles are further analyzed as parts of broader social visions in which foundation representatives and other stakeholders in the four CEE countries prefer to locate them. The dominance of certain roles and visions is explained with reference to specific features of post-communist societies.

Poles' Commitment to the Rights of Political Dissenters

Author(s): Ewa Gołębiowska / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2006

Keywords: political tolerance; minority rights; authoritarianism

Empirical research on support for democracy and democratic values in Eastern Europe has proliferated in the last decade and a half. Based on survey data from a recent, nationally representative survey of Polish public opinion, I contribute to this growing literature by exploring the dynamics of Poles' support for the rights of political dissenters. Using multivariate regression analysis, I model the relationships between a variety of socio-political assessments and support for political dissenters' rights. I find that Poles' support for the rights of political dissenters is far from uniform and varies as a function of authoritarianism, approval of the government in power, anomie, education, and (marginally) gender. I conclude with a discussion of my findings' implications for democratic consolidation in Poland.

The Three Types of Law

Cele trei tipuri de drept

Author(s): Georg Schwarzenberger / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2010

Keywords: doctrina; jurisprudenţă internaţională; dreptul puterii; funcţiile dreptului societăţii; dreptul coordonării; funcţiile dreptului comunităţii; dreptul reciprocităţii; asocierile hibride

Acest text, extrem de important pentru teoria dreptului, a apărut în revista Ethics, în anul 1943. A fost tradus pentru seminariile de drept internaţional de la Facultatea de Drept a Universităţii de Vest Timişoara şi a fost tipărit în volumul intitulat Doctrină şi jurisprudenţă internaţională, apărut în anul 2004 la Timişoara.

CNCD Decision on the Harassment of the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Grand National Masonic Lodge

Hotărârea CNCD cu privire la hărţuirea Suveranului Mare Comandor al Marii Loje Naţionale

Author(s): Consiliul Naţional pentru Combaterea Discriminării CNCD / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2010

Keywords: Suveranul Mare Comandor al Marii Loje Naţionale; hărţuire; francez; O.G. nr. 137/2000; dreptul la demnitate

Petiţia către CNCD arată că i s-a încălcat dreptul la demnitate pe criteriul presupusei apartenenţe etnice (maghiară) a petentului şi pe criteriul cetăţeniei franceze. Declaraţii de presă ale reclamatului: „Impunerea unui cetăţean francez, care nu cunoaşte limba română, în funcţia de Suveran Mare Comandor încalcă toate regulamentele şi constituţiile masonice româneşti şi internaţionale”; şi adresă trimisă mai multor persoane:„Închipuiţi-vă o singură secundă un Suveran Mare Comandor Român al Supremului Consiliu de Rit Scoţian Vechi şi Acceptat la Budapesta. De negândit, nu-i aşa! Noi putem, însă, să avem la Bucureşti de aproape 12 ani un Suveran Mare Comandor de naţionalitate maghiară, ales în condiţii mai mult decât contestabile, care nu vorbeşte româneşte şi care are un singur lucru în gură: «les roumains c’est la merde», «la Roumanie c’est la merde» (românii sunt rahat, România este rahat)”. CD CNCD hotărăşte: Faptele sesizate reprezintă hărţuire în conformitate cu prevederile art. 2 alin. (5) ale O.G. nr. 137/2000, republicată; Recomandă reclamatului să evite în viitor formulări ce pot duce la crearea unui cadru intimidant, ostil, degradant, ofensiv.

CNCD Decision on Discrimination in the Publication of Articles Designed to Change the Term “Roma” into “Gypsy”

Hotărârea CNCD cu privire la discriminarea prin publicare de articole în scopul modificării denumirii de „rom” în denumirea de „ţigan”

Author(s): Consiliul Naţional pentru Combaterea Discriminării CNCD / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2010

Keywords: ţigan; rom; Partida Romilor; minoritatea romilor; Jurnalul Naţional

Petentul, în calitate de reprezentant unic al minorităţii romilor în Parlamentul României şi preşedinte al Partidei Romilor, consideră discriminatorie articolele publicate în cotidianul reclamat - Jurnalul Naţional - cu scopul de a modifica denumirea de „rom” în denumirea de „ţigan”. Articolele conţin afirmaţii care ating dreptul la demnitate al persoanelor de etnie romă. Consideră că articolele publicate sub titlul „«ţigan» în loc de «rom»” şi „De la rom la referendum” reprezintă instigare la discriminare, rasism şi xenofobie, citând două fragmente: „în 1993 romii nu deveniseră sperietoarea Europei”; „Cuvântul «rom» nu are parfumul aparte pe care îl are «ţigan»”. „Recrudescenţa infracţiunilor comise de ţigani în Italia şi nu numai, precum şi asocierea acestor fapte cu poporul român prezentat ca un popor de violatori, hoţi are efecte negative nu numai asupra ţării noastre ca imagine, ci şi asupra românilor de bună-credinţă care merg în străinătate să câştige un ban cinstit.” CD CNCD hotărăşte: Faptele sesizate de petent reprezintă discriminare conform art. 2 alin. (1) şi aduc atingere dreptului la demnitate conform art. 15 al O.G. nr. 137/2000, republicată; Recomandă părţilor reclamate să manifeste exigenţă în raport cu modul în care se exercită dreptul la libertatea de exprimare din prisma reputaţiei sau a drepturilor altora, pentru a asigura respectarea demnităţii personale şi a principiului nediscriminării, garantate în România prin Constituţie şi O.G. nr. 137/2000.

Combating Discrimination as Public Policy: CNA’s and CNCD’s Reading of an Academia Caţavencu Commercial

Spotul revistei Academia Caţavencu în lectura CNA şi CNCD. Combaterea discriminării ca politică publică

Author(s): Gabriel Andreescu / Language(s): Romanian / Issue: 2/2010

Keywords: discrimination; freedom of expression; commercials; satirical press; National Council of the Audiovisual; National Council for Combating Discrimination

After a commercial for the weekly satirical publication Academia Caţavencu was widely broadcasted on TV in May 2010, the National Council of the Audiovisual (CNA) received three complaints concerning the “offense” to Hungarians caused by their portrayal as “conquerors of the Romanian people”, and, respectively, to Romanians, who were depicted as “s lazy south-east European people”. The CNA requested an opinion from the National Council for Combating Discrimination (CNCD), which ruled that the message in the commercial is stereotypical and creates a hostile, degrading and humiliating atmosphere for the members of the two ethnic communities. The CNA subsequently adopted this reading of the commercial. The study shows that these two institutions’ assessments exhibit an increasing tendency to render judgments concerning the professional contents of messages and on the characteristics of persons engaged in public debate. This readiness, together with the drawbacks of legislation in the field of fighting discrimination, leads to excessive interferences with freedom of expression. The norms and public policies in the field must be seriously reconsidered.

THE PROMOTION OF COMPETITION IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

PROMOCIJA KONKURENCIJE U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI

Author(s): Amila Turković,Kanita Imamović-Čizmić / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 3/2014

Keywords: promotion of competition; Federal Trade Commission of the USA; Council of Competition in BiH.

The promotion of competition is a special type of activity, implemented by public bodies in charge of public enforcement of the competition law, and aimed at promoting knowledge of market competition and its significance by creating and developing the culture of competition in the market. Essentially, that implies all activities that do not fall under the execution of law and are aimed at relations with other public government bodies whose decisions have a direct or an indirect impact on the market, as well as activities aimed at raising awareness about the importance of competition in society as a whole. Having in mind the causality according to which greater competition also means a more developed market, every country should pay attention to promotion of competition. Greater awareness about the importance of competition would lead to a decline in violation of laws that regulate the activities in the market, in other words to a decline in activities that prevent, restrict and distort market competition. The first segment of the paper focuses on theoretical sources of promotion of competition and basic determinants of the so-called “Competition advocacy” program, designed by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which was one of the first to introduce that practice. The second segment of the paper, besides presenting the main sources of competition law, analyses the actual condition in terms of promotion of competition in Bosnia and Herzegovina, while taking into account the results of survey that was conducted.
