Religious policy
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.
Designing and Implementing Public Policy in Contemporary 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.
Katalończycy
W prezentowanej Czytelnikom książce Autorka omawia znaczenie dla ukształtowania dzisiejszej tożsamości Katalończyków kultury bądź futbolu, a także historycznych uwarunkowań rozwoju tytułowego independentyzmu katalońskiego, związanego z bolesną kartą frankizmu, który zakładał m.in. jednolity charakter Hiszpanii, prowadząc do zanegowania wszelkich różnic regionalnych. Monografia ma za przedmiot również prezentację postaw partii politycznych wobec postulatów niepodległościowych oraz najważniejszych aspektów hiszpańskiego prawa konstytucyjnego, w tym znaczenia statutów wspólnot autonomicznych, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem statutu katalońskiego z 2006 roku i kontrowersji z nim związanych. …Autorka, podejmując tę niezwykle aktualną tematykę, zachowuje obiektywizm. Książka powstała w oparciu o solidną bazę materiałową. … Z recenzji dra hab. Pawła A. Leszczyńskiego, prof. AJP
Religion and identity
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.
Media and Communication in Europe
This timely book explores how the media shape the Europeanization of the public sphere within the European Union (EU).

Political Marketing:
Comprehensive and clearly organized, this is the first integrated theory-to-practice text on marketing's role in the political process. It incorporates insights and concepts drawn from the disciplines of Marketing, Psychology, and Political Science, and covers every aspect of marketing's infiltration into politics, including campaign strategy, market segmentation, and media strategy. Using examples and models drawn from countries around the globe, the authors elucidate the importance of political marketing techniques for the stability of democratic institutions. They also note the potential threats to democracy, especially the use of marketing techniques to manipulate voters at the subconscious level. They conclude with a set of normative do's and dont's for political marketing practice that strengthens civic education and democratic governance.
Regions in Europe
Regions in Europe explores the state of regional politics in an increasingly integrated Europe. It argues that the predicted rise of increased political power at the regional level has failed to materialise and is fraught with paradox. In doing so this study locates regions in relation to European integration, globalisation, the nation state, local government, and comparative and national perspectives. Using case studies of the main players in Europe including: * Germany * France * UK * Italy * Spain * the Netherlands * Belgium. the contributors show how and why European regions remain remarkably weak in European governance.
