The process of creating and implementing sectoral policy has been described from two perspectives. On the one hand, the attention of the contributors focuses mainly on the social actors of these policy – individuals and institutions on whose activity the process of implementing specific policy provisions depends. On the other hand, the complexity of sectoral policy forces the need to refer to many areas of social life around which specific solutions are created. The effectiveness of public policy, including sectoral policy, also requires indicating the context related to the socio-political conditions in Poland. To understand why different public policies emerge in different regions, it is important to understand the details that shape them. In this volume, it is crucial to indicate the determinants of the process of creating and implementing policy relating to selected aspects of socio-economic life (de facto sectoral policy) in Polish society.
Public policies are an arena of collective actions that respond to the main problems of society. They are understood as a cycle of decisions and actions of public administration aimed at achieving the desired benefits in the future. They are mostly used when market mechanisms fail and are not able to deal with the problem on their own, or when they do not work effectively enough. The multiplicity of problems and the inadequacies in their solutions create opportunities for the emergence of new sectoral policies and interventions that address both entirely new and traditional phenomena of social life, but require a new approach that recognizes the special importance of political factors. The main objective of sectoral policies is to support the development of the identified key areas of development. This anthology presents the ways of creating and implementing public policies related to educational, demographic and social problems.
The role of religious identity in social communities has gained importance in the past few years, as many questions about individual and collective identity have been brought up in the fields of science and everyday life. Religion, despite the process of secularisation, remains an important component of human identity. Increasingly, religion is also becoming an object of political influence. This volume argues that religion actually determinates various phenomena in the political sphere today.
Denomination policy is an important part of the public life of the state. Central and local governments search for models that enable the shaping of relations between the state and denominational associations. This is also of significance in relation to the changes associated with migration and fluctuation of followers of various faiths. How is this search carried out? What does it lead to? The book analyzes the phenomenon of religious politics. In addition to concrete case studies, the volume includes contributions dealing with theoretical issues, such as methodological problems of research on religions and beliefs as a factor hindering the formation of religious politics, studies of religious politics as a component of research on religious politics, the search for regularities in the relationship between religious politics and geopolitics.
W ideologicznych założeniach polskie pogranicza powinny przekształcać się w transgranicza. Jednak obrazy rzeczywistości, przedstawiane także w tym tomie, zakłócają sielankowe wizje formułowane na gruncie europeizmu. Szereg wydarzeń, poczynając od 1997 r., kiedy to Polska w ramach procesów przystosowawczych przed włączeniem do Unii Europejskiej zaczęła osłabiać relacje ze wschodnimi sąsiadami, stawia pod znakiem zapytania, to znów wspiera euromyślenie o pograniczach. Należy też pamiętać, że na procesy społeczno-gospodarcze na pograniczach istotny wpływ miało pełne włączenie Polski do strefy Schengen w 2007 r., a później uruchamianie i zawieszanie umów o ma...
This book analyzes the process of national identity formation and identification of children born into formal and informal Polish-German relationships in Poland and Germany, and how that process is impacted by their upbringing at the intersection of two cultures. The sociological-historical approach explores a wide range of processes in interethnic couples related to the case at hand, such as migration, acculturation, and assimilation, as well as integration and increased participation in the structures of the host country, ties with the country of origin, generational changes and decreasing knowledge of the native tongue, and developments affecting mixed partnerships and their children. Tak...

Migranci często deklarują, że dzięki doświadczaniu życia i pracy za granicą lepiej rozumieją świat i samych siebie, zwiększają pewność siebie, zyskują niezależność i nabywają kompetencji społecznych, w tym kompetencji komunikacyjnych. Jednak badacze zajmujący się kapitałem ludzkim zwykle nie patrzą dalej, niż na kwalifikacje formalne. Do tej pory nie mieliśmy adekwatnych ram koncepcyjnych do zrozumienia nabywania przez migrantów kompetencji społecznych właśnie dzięki migracjom. Książka prof. Grabowskiej wypełnia tę lukę, pokazuje bowiem jak sami migranci oceniają swoje doświadczenia i jakie są uwarunkowania nabywania (a czasami blokowania) kompetencji sp...
