110 lat polityki publicznej w Wielkiej Brytanii (1910-2010)

Author(s): Piotr Jachowicz / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 1/2014

The subject of this study is the evolution of British public policy between 1900 and 2010 with to the special focus on budgetary, monetary and social policy, as well as policy towards the public sector. This period was characterized by a steady, yet non-linear rise in economic and social activity of the state. Sudden increases were caused by one of three categories of events: wars, economic crises and changes at the highest levels of government. As a result, the history of British public policy in between 1900 and 2010 is divided into the following stages: 1) 1900-1931 - decline of the liberal era; 2) 1931-1951 - steady increase in the state's economic activity; 3) 1951-1979 - systemic stabilization at a high level of state involvement in economic and social issues; 4) 1997-2007 - attempt to return to economic liberalism; 5) 2007-2010 - a period of volatility and the search for new public policy principles.

2016 Ve 2017 Yılındaki Düzenlemelere Göre 5746 Sayılı Kanun Kapsamındaki SGK Primi İşveren Payı Desteğinin TMS 20 Uyarınca Muhasebeleştirilmesi

Author(s): Hakan Seldüz,M. Yilmaz Içerli / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 5/2018

Multifarious incentives are provided for R&D, innovation and design activities with “The Law about Supporting R&D and Design Activities” numbered 5746, in 2008. Some articles of Law number 5746 was changed with Law number 6676 issued in 2016. In 2017, some changes were made over the present regulatory texts of Law number 5746 and some new regulatory texts were issued. Thus, incentives are made more attractive and also their acquisition circumstances and application conditions are made easier. TMS 20 is the accounting standard applied in accounting for, and in the disclosure of government incentives. It is indicated within TMS 20 that receiving manner of the incentive would not affect its accounting method. It is stated that incentives received either in cash or as a reduction of a liability to the government would be accounted for in the same manner. One of the incentives identified in Law number 5746, is SSI premium employer’s share support. Pursuant to regarding law, half of SSI premium employer’s share that is calculated over the wages earned from related efforts of the staff -who are employed in R&D, innovation and design centers and in projects approved by organizations defined in regulations- is being paid from the related fund in Ministry of Finance’s budget, if specified requirements are met. This paper comprises recognition of SSI premium employer’s share support which is defined in Law number 5746. To demonstrate calculation -in accordance with recent regulations- and recognition steps -pursuant to TMS 20- of SSI premium employer’s share supports for staff who have different qualifications, is set as objective of the study. A literature review is made over the legislations whole, which includes laws, by-laws and general communiques, and the related academic studies. SSI premium employer’s share support is explained in details after incentive elements defined within Law number 5746 are briefly summarized. The subject is tried to be concretized by giving epitomes about calculation and book entries of this support and obtained implications are summarized in conclusion section.

A BORDERLAND AND THE LOCAL AUTHORITY

Author(s): Ewa Ganowicz,Bozena Wroniszewska / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2014

There is no doubt that the border is a place of power – a local authority. In its essence it involves the existence of a distinct interest in forming a borderland community. This interest is reflected in the institutional form of local government, under which the local authority is exercised. Borderland is always a political force and determines the specificity of power in a given area, often determining systemic solutions in the country. It is obvious that a large role is played by the border strength with which they articulated their needs and the general conditions of political organization within which it operates (system, historical traditions, etc.). In the radically different circumstances, the local government operates in ethnically homogenous Poland. It’s not the borderland who has forced decentralization and the need for efficient governance of new political conditions. The needs of the Borderland, at first loudly articulated, have been met mostly by legislation protecting ethnic and national minorities. However, of significance is the example of the Silesian Autonomy Movement as the identity of the Borderland, which is still not satisfied with his own status. Within the framework of the homogeneous state, there are many opportunities for the borderland to participate in the exercise of local authority. Although the administrative division takes into account the principle of diversity of socio- cultural variety of the country, the administration is a standardized, three-tier system that coexists with government in the area. Each level has a decision-making council or Regional Council in the province and a Board as an executive body. The councils, the Regional Councils and the executive authorities in the municipalities are elected by the local community. Similarly, the tasks are divided equally and harmonized powers, and rules governing the relationship between the administrations in all directions. There is no hierarchical subordination here, the activity is under the protection of the courts of general jurisdiction and is subject to the administrative jurisdiction. The control and supervision of the activities are intended only to verify compliance with the law.

A Critical Insight into Policy Implementation and Implementation Performance

Author(s): Anisur Rahman KHAN,Shahriar Khandaker / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2016

Policy implementation involves translating the goals and objectives of policy into action. Although seen as an integral part of the policy cycle, substantial research has not yet been carried out in this area. This paper examines the state and status of policy implementation as a discipline and the factors associated with implementation performance, based on a review of the literature and analysis by researchers.The assessment in this study confirms the dearth of theoretical development of this subject as a major concern for this discipline and a barrier for perfect execution. It was also found that multiple factors are linked to poor policy performance, such as a lack of coordination, funding, commitment, capabilities among implementers and top-downsupport. Finally, by critically looking into loopholes associated with performance in policy implementation, five theoretical models were developed for improving performance.These respectively had a rational, organisational, political, bureaucratic and management basis. It is expected that the application of these standards would help to overcome issues, leading to successful policy performance.

A European Democracy: Why and How?

Author(s): Phillipe C. Schmitter / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

While democracy in Europe took a very long time to emerge and consolidate itself, the democratization of Europe has only just begun and remains a rather remote prospect. The competing national states that composed this part of the world were originally autocratic – with the historical exception of Switzerland, which somehow continuously managed to practice its peculiar form of democracy. Indeed, Western Europe became uniformly democratic only in the mid-1970s with the regime changes in Portugal, Spain, and Greece. And parts of the former Soviet Union have still to institutionalize the accountability of its rulers by way of competitive processes of representation.

A Quintessential Lesson from European Union Integration to African Union

Author(s): Endris Mekonnen Faris,Hasan Korkut / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2016

The African Union -a multipurpose cooperation platform which most believe inspired by the European Union- came to exist to transform the continents fate into a prosperous one. European Union unprecedentedly becomes the crucial factor to speed up the Europe’s integration. European Union is an economic community and was not meant, first, a political one. Hence European Union can be a quintessential lesson for the African Union if the later understands the formers achievement came because of the exclusive emphasis given to the economic approach. The paper empirically argues that economic integration leads to an outright continental political unity. Accordingly the continent’s integration can only be achieved when economic approach is given prior emphasis. The political approach is a default which by nature follows the achievements gained from economic approach.The African Union -a multipurpose cooperation platform which most believe inspired by the European Union- came to exist to transform the continents fate into a prosperous one.

Author(s): Jadwiga Rogoza / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2018

In recent months, Moscow oblast has seen a series of social protests against environmental problems caused by municipal waste landfills. The waste disposal sites are overloaded, lack adequate safeguards, emit toxic gases and contaminate the groundwater with harmful effluent. The situation is most severe in Moscow oblast because the capital city generates the largest volumes of waste; however, the problem itself extends beyond environmental concerns into the economic and social spheres. Waste management in Russia is marked by notorious overloading of legal waste disposal sites and the emergence of illegal waste dumps, inadequate waste disposal practices leading to air pollution and groundwater contamination which affect local residents, and bad practices by businesses with links to President Vladimir Putin which have monopolised the waste collection sector.

A System Dynamics Approach to Analysing the Effect of Clientelism on Public Organizations Performance in Italy

Author(s): Federico COSENZ / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2010

This paper tries to analyse the effects of political clientelism on the performance of public utilities and organizations in Italy. Shortly, clientelism consists in a series of reciprocal convenience-based relationships between politicians and individuals, commanding unequal resources and involving mutually beneficial transactions in terms of economic, social and political consequences. The motivation of this research stems from the fact that analysing the effect of clientelism may contribute in (1) improving the quality of electoral strategies and the resulting public policies and (2) managing the performance of public organizations according to a sustainable perspective. Hence, the key issues of the paper are the following: is clientelism a sustainable mechanism to enlarge the consensus of a given party? How does clientelistic practice impact on public organizations management and subsequent performances? What should public managers do to limit the effect of clientelism and maintain satisfying performance results in providing services towards citizens? In the light of the above questions, the paper points out the cause-and-effect relations among those variables underlying such clientelistic practices by using a System Dynamics approach which allows one to frame a complex system and understand its development over time.

The dynamics of changes in the sphere of threats to public security causes that the activities undertaken by entities responsible for the prevention and counteraction of the effects of their occurrence must be constantly verified and streamlined. Public security tasks are carried out, among others, by special services, the Police, Border Guard, Customs Service and the Government Protection Bureau. The indicated entities must consistently and effectively implement the tasks imposed on them. It is necessary, therefore, to involve forces and resources (personal and material) to the extent that is adequate to potential threats. The above is limited by the possibilities resulting from existing personal and material potential. Particularly important from the point of view of effectiveness in the implementation of tasks is the personal potential of each from the services listed above. Thanks to people who carry out tasks in the field of security protection, their special features, commitment, right attitudes and behavior the potential threats can be successfully counteracted. Activities in the field of protection of the most important authorities and public administration are carried out by the Government Protection Bureau. Professional adaptation in this service is the engagement of an officer into professional practice. The beginning of the adaptation process is the stage of recruitment, during which the candidate for the officer gets acquainted with the requirements of the formation and confronts them with his/her own professional expectations. As part of the professional adaptation process, the officer is subjected to a training process and then verification of knowledge and skills. Professional adaptation serves to create a posture in the officer and behavior consistent with the organizational culture of the formation.

Author(s): Renata Lisowska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 12.1/2017

Business environment institutions, which mostly offer support in the area of: the financing of start-ups and business development, the provision of specialised business support advisory services, information services and training, as well as assistance in cooperation with other companies, play an important role in stimulating the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. According to numerous studies carried out in Poland, entrepreneurs recognise the benefits of cooperation with business environment institutions. However, the use of these institutions’ potential is limited by many barriers both on the part of enterprises, such as insufficient financial resources for project co-financing or insufficient knowledge of the possibilities of cooperation, and on the part of business environment institutions, such as the lack of professionalization of the provided services, insufficient information and promotional activities, and the lack of adaptation of the offer to the needs of enterprises. The aim of the paper is the assessment of suitability of business environment institutions’ offer for the development needs of small and medium-sized enterprises on the basis of opinions of entrepreneurs from the Lodz Region. The first part of the paper presents the characteristics of the potential of business environment institutions in Poland, with a special focus on the Lodz Voivodship, on the basis of a literature review and existing studies, while the second part presents the author’s own research conducted among small and medium enterprises.

The development of each territorial unit is connected with the influence of many factors, among which on the one hand, a vital role plays the effect of public authorities in creation of a proinnovation environment for the market players which are localized within it and on the other hand - for all those who are potentially interested in the allocation of their resources in these particular area. The method and nature of the impact of both governmental and local administrative bodies for the development of the SME sector constitutes a major challenge for local authorities whose support (at various levels of its functioning) is expected by the entrepreneurs. The paper discusses selected issues related to the cooperation of small and medium-sized enterprises within the region of Lodz with public authorities in order to strengthen and/or re-build the potential of the economy within the represented spatial unit.
