„W Górach każdy jest prawdziwy…” Świst lawiny, która w kilka sekund może pozbawić życia. Ujmująca cisza po śnieżnej zamieci. Strach i ekscytacja w drodze na szczyt. Odpowiedzialność kontra ryzyko. Rozum kontra serce. Zdobywanie kontra zdobycie. Kto nie był w górach wysokich, nigdy tak naprawdę nie zrozumie, co czują himalaiści ruszający na podbój ośmiotysięczników. Rafał Fronia, autor cieszących się ogromną popularnością dzienników z wyprawy na K2, po raz kolejny postanowił przybliżyć ten świat. Tym razem w sposób szczególny. Rozmowa z Górą została zainspirowana pytaniami czytelników. Część z nich doczekała się odpowiedzi prosto z mroźnego namiotu pod Manaslu, inne stały się impulsem do spisania przemyśleń już po powrocie. Dzięki temu książka pozwala zrozumieć, o co tak naprawdę chodzi w Górach. I jak to możliwe, że droga do zdobycia celu może być znacznie ważniejsza niż jego osiągnięcie.
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.

Spaces of (Dis)location was a two–day interdisciplinary and international conference which took place on 24–25 May, 2012, at the University of Glasgow, UK, and was funded by the Graduate School of the University of Glasgow’s College of Arts.
