Specyfika przywództwa organizacyjnego - wzorzec dla przywódców politycznych?

The article presents the brief characteristics and assessment of the organizational leadership. Special attention was paid to those features of the organizational leadership which should also possess the political leaders. At present neither the charisma nor an exceptional knowledge and skills determine the success of the organizational leader. The same holds true as regards the political leaders who should rather possess the ability of choosing the so called “lesser evil” and should act flexibly and adapt their style of leadership to a given situation. However both organizational and political leaders are praised or blamed for their courage and ability to make the unpopular decisions, assuming that they are the right decisions in a given moment and situation. Therefore it seems that the efficiency of management in the case of organizational leader and the effectiveness of governance in the case of political leader are the most important measures of their competences as the leaders of a given organization or state. It should also be beared in mind that the right decisions made in a given situation are the best indicator of his or her ability as the organizational of political leader.&nbsp

Model of Local Sustainable Development in the Areas of Co-Occurrence Natura 2000 Sites and Non Energy Mining Industry (NEEI)

ABSTRACTPurposeThe article is a response to the lack of systemic solutions that should help in preventing/mitigating conflicts between the needs of non-energy mining industry (NEEI) and nature conservation requirements under the NATURA 2000 system.MethodsConstruction of conceptual models based on the results of surveys carried out in the framework of the research proj ect "Economic activity models" 2013, and on the complementary literature studies.ResultsThe conditions under which both types of activity could together drive the economic development of the municipality and provide its local specialization are highlighted. The barriers to the implementation of such a scenario are described, and an explanation about how to break through these barriers is provided. The necessary directions of the legal and organizational changes are described, relying on the good practices implemented in other European countries.Practical implicationsThe article contains a proposal for a strategic approach that would help Polish decision-makers and local communities in preventing and mitigating the local conflicts between nature protection and the exploitation of mineral resources. The results can be used in the process of elaborating the national policy management of mineral resources.The approach proposed in the article should also be applied to the elaboration of development policies/strategies at a municipality and regional scale, wherever there is a potential conflict between mining and nature conservation needs.Originality/valueThe model presented is an original proposal. This is the first attempt, in Poland, to indicate a scenario approach to solving problems concerning the impact mining has on nature. The approach should be applied both at a national and local level

Specific Features of Organizational Leadership – Pattern for the Political Leaders

Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) and Rationality of Law – Legal Aspects

Purpose: The fundamental aim of this article is to verify an assumption according to which the proper Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) is a key factor in the rationality of law. Rational law is a law which is effective and able to realize and achieve social, economic and environmental aims determined and established by the lawmaker. Methodology: The scope of this paper – which determines its structure – encompasses the definition of RIA, including its specific (but non-legal) forms such as benchmarking and evaluation. As far as we are concerned, these methods can provide – as a kind of Regulatory Impact Assessment a significant tool for measuring the rationality of regulations. Furthermore, the usefulness of benchmarking and evaluation has been recognised by representatives of jurisprudence. We will also explain the concept and the assumptions of the rationality of law on the grounds and in the light of the case law of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal and the Supreme Administrative Court. This should allow to countercheck the main thesis of this paper. The methodology encompasses primary legal methods such as literature, case law and legislation analysis. Findings: An indispensable condition of the rationality of law is actual elimination of irrational regulations which were not subjected to the Regulatory Impact Assessment. Practical implications: Although RIA is a problematic issue (in terms of its practical application),it is necessary to carry it out in order to assure the rationality of law. A good and desirable complement to Regulatory Impact Assessment are non-legal methods such as benchmarking and evaluation. Originality: Originality and value of this survey lies in taking into account the case law of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal and the Supreme Administrative Court. Additionally, this paper is original in that it considers non-legal methods in the examination of the rationality of law

Models of Economic Development and Planning Processes in Municipalities with NATURA 2000 Sites

The establishment of Natura 2000 is seen often as a potential source of conflict between the protection of natural values and economic development consistent with the aspirations of local communities. Depending on the characteristics of the area-environmental, social, or economic – it is possible to recommend general development models in which economic objectives are combined with nature protection. Such models can be developed on the basis of a set of determinants presented in this study

Agenda 21 Local y Presupuesto Participativo

La humanidad está destinada a la interdependencia en un número creciente de aspectos. El modelo occidental de desarrollo no es reproducible a escala global sin enormes y devastadores efectos sobre el medio ambiente y la sociedad. Por lo tanto, es necesario buscar modelos alternativos, como el Desarrollo Sostenible. La participación ciudadana es crucial para la planiÿcación efectiva y la adecuada puesta en práctica de acciones para la promoción del Desarrollo Sostenible y la revitalización de las instituciones democráticas. Esto implica que, más allá de los objetivos y los resultados parciales, lo que importa realmente es el grado de compromiso de los diversos agentes implicados. Comunidades locales de todas partes de Europa ya han comenzado un diálogo constructivo con su ciudadanía bajo diversas formas. En el presente trabajo nos centramos en dos modelos que resultan prometedores al hablar de participación en términos de proceso de aprendizaje: La Agenda 21 Local y el Presupuesto ParticipativoCalabuig Tormo, C.; Peris Blanes, J.; Fonseca, M.; Ibáñez, J.; Bueno Mora, S.; Yves Sintomer; Carsten Herzberg...
