Labour flows in the biotech sector in Poland

Author(s): Grzegorz Micek,Piotr Dawidko / Language(s): English Issue: 130/2012

Based on an analysis of personnel flows (managerial and employee ), the authors show that knowledge flows in the biotech sector in Poland are strongly concentrated in space. With respect to managerial intra-metropolitan flows, Warszawa has a similar position to Cracow and the Tri-City (Gdańsk – Gdynia – Sopot conurbation ). Cracow is characterised by strong isolation with respect to personnel flows from the outside. On the other hand, within the scope of inter-metropolitan flows, Poland’s capital is dominant, in particular in terms of flows to the Tri-city, Poznań and Łódź. In the case of employee flows, the most important features of the examined issue are: dominance of intra-metropolitan flows and strong relationship between flows and the headquarters of the largest biotechnological companies. The conducted studies have shown that in the context of the Polish biotech sector, the concept of “local buzz, global pipelines” is corroborated, in line with which local and global knowledge flows are complementary with respect to each other.

Connecting airports with cities. Perspectives of air-rail links development in central Europe

Author(s): Jakub Taczanowski,Piotr Trzepacz,Arkadiusz Kołoś / Language(s): English Issue: 130/2012

Air travel has increased rapidly in Central Europe in the first decade of the 21st century thanks to the admission of Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia to the European Union and the liberalization of their air travel market. Rapid increase in the number of air travelers in Central Europe created new challenges for Central European airports, which had to expand, modernize and better connect to urban cores. The best solution of the last problem is to organize rail transport, which can handle considerable high passenger volumes, avoids traffic jams, and exerts a relatively small impact on the natural environment. The creation of rail transportation systems increases the airports competitiveness of making cities and whole geographical regions more accessible in general. Another benefit of this transport is that the construction of airportrail links includes metropolitan areas which had no efficient transport systems.

Neutralizace nejistoty a "vyrovnávání" šťěstí: k principům kompenzace (ne)šťastné náhody

Author(s): Marián Sekerák / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2015

The paper is dedicated to the Luck Egalitarianism, its genesis, the main principles, as well as to its external and internal criticism. The main problem of this theory represents the quest for the principle of compensation for the consequences of bad brute luck, in some cases of bad option luck. I claim that the right way is not a return to the solidaristic community, but emphasizing the principle of equal citizenship. Therefore, it is necessary to compensate not only material damage but also moral one. One of the possible ways is socially recognized and widely supported fair access to public services and offices, as well as granting of the public honours to those who are morally harmed.

Zobrazování korupce v programatice českých politických stran v průbehu postkomunistického vývoje

Author(s): Vladimír Naxera / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2015

In this study the author deals with a perception of corruption in the Czech Republic. According to many authors, he acknowledges distinctions between two levels of discourses – one related to political elites, the other one to society. This study is focused on elite discourse, specifically on discourse within electoral programs of the political parties – the author presents results of both qualitative and quantitative content analysis of electoral programs of four Czech political parties (ODS, KDU-ČSL, ČSSD, KSČM) in this text. The main goal is to show how the topic of corruption has changed during the post-communist development, whether is the corruption seen as related to the process of privatization of an ex-state property, and whether (and how) perception of corruption has changed in response to concrete events (like particular corruption cases or so-called opposition agreement 1998-2002). The development of the perception of corruption is therefore put into the context of general political development in the Czech Republic.

Author(s): Karolina Ticha / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2015

Presented study focuses on lobbying as a political activity and the emergence of lobbying regulation. The main topic is the analysis of the lobbying regulations adopted in Hungary and Poland. On the basis of pre-selected standards (definition of the lobbyist and lobbying, system of registration, rights and obligations of lobbying actors, mechanism of control and the sanctions), both models are compared and their functional force and efficiency is evaluated as well. To maintain the highest possible objectivity of the article is this one value-neutral and scientific anchoring based on empirical – analytical approach. It also corresponds to the used methodology, which includes the description, analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization. Final comparison showed that there is a accordance among existing regulation of lobbying in these two countries, but it is very small. Poland is closest to a comprehensive treatment, which has the highest qualitative shift from zero regulation following the law about the lobbying. It is rather vague on the issue of lobbying treated extensively, and many measures completely omitted. This law is rather vague on the issue of lobbying and treated it extensively, and many measures are completely omitted. On the other hand the definition of lobbying subjects is so specific that a significant portion of the essence is not covered. However, according to the evaluation methods of CPI is this law labeled as weak, it provides a workable basis for future novelizations and streamlining. Hungary is at similar path as Poland, but government acceded to the nest regressive step, once they have adopted the law on lobbying, which has been in its present form the CPO methodology assessed as moderately regulated system derogated by the partial Law on public participation in the preparation of legislation and government regulations by which to the comprehensive regulation of lobbying basically responded.

Poručnické síly v Československu 1945-1948

Author(s): Jaroslav Bílek / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2015

This article presents an interpretative case study utilizing the concept of tutelary powers to analyse specific organisations in Czechoslovakia 1945-1948. Tutelary institutions are one of the key issues in contemporary discussions about transitions to democracy in Latin America. One of the major problems of the concept of tutelary institutions is their rather vague definition. This article presents a new classification to use it on organisations which had influence on the operation of the political regime in postwar Czechoslovakia. The political system of postwar Czechoslovakia was influenced by a whole range of specific factors, but among them, the most important appear to be the low level of civil liberties and political rights, along with the existence of actors outside the electoral system who were able to influence processes that were supposed to be under control of elected representatives. The range of tutelary actors analyzed in this article includes the Soviet Union, military counter-intelligence and various state security institutions. Though all of them appear to manifest the basic attributes of tutelary institutions at some time between 1945 and 1948, they also seem to bear some context specific features pointing at the complexity of the postwar situation, as well as at the limits of the concept.
