The next (20) part of the Cooperative Thought Library reminds already forgotten theorist and a pioneer of Polish rural cooperative, a precursor of science management organizations - professor Tadeusz Klapkowski (1902-1984). His relations with institutions very important for the development of indigenous social and economic thought of the period before World War II, such as the Cooperative Institute for Research and the National Agricultural Research Institute in Pulawy are mentioned. Klapkowski is shown as a supporter of the autonomy of cooperatives to the state. The state should play a subservient role to the community initiatives. The excerpts from his book titled 'Cooperatives in Polish agriculture', Warsaw 1929 are reminded.
The next (25) part of Cooperative Thought Library reminds of articles of two Polish professors: S. Bukowiecki's 'Social work and the state' and J. Kurnatowski's 'Solidarity', which appeared in 1929 in the 'Yearbook of Social and Political Sciences of the Free Polish University'.
The CSR-oriented companies introduce some tools to demonstrate their environmental and social responsibility. Besides different activities which are presented in reports, certificates they apply for demonstration of their social and environmental engagement. Due to the increasing awareness among consumers there is an even greater demand for authentic and independent guaranteecertificates which confirm the social responsibility doings. So in the last few years the use of thematic trademarks which are signs of the responsibility has spread. The presented research focuses on a special segment of national park trademarks. The research questions within the framework of a standard interview are attempting to reveal how informed consumers are concerning the trademarks in use and whether the consumer favours those products and services that pos sess quality certificates. What are the expectations of the consumers in connection with products and services that hold the Hungarian National Park Product trademark? Do these certificated products and services mean benefits to consumers? The trademarks of the manufacturers and service providers give information to the customer on the advantage of the product and hence the whole life-cycle of the product is seen through. Probably due to this controlled quality and reliable origin the certified products are favoured. This kind of labelling means a kind of guarantee to the customer.
The present study shows social-ethical aspects of cooperation between the State and the Church for protection of the rights of the family. The analyzed issues are presented in the light of the following problems: 1. Relations between the State and the Church; 2. The right of the family of active participation in the life of the national and the Church communities. Relations between the State and the Church based on cooperation and mutual respect of the autonomy of each result in protection of the rights of the family in the democratic society.
The author considers which form of association of EU states the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe reflects. The word treaty means that one has to deal with the international treaty adopted by the will resulting from equality in law of all EU states. On the other hand the word constitution expresses that the entity established by the treaty has a character which in some respects resembles to that of a state. The EU bears some features of a state - namely citizenship and symbols, nevertheless it does not have its own sovereign power because this is derived from the sovereignty of member states. The EU institutions don't present a copy of classical division of power in the state and in this context one may say that the EU doesn't have its own mechanism of enforcement of legal obligations. In the text of the treaty we don't find an explicit statement that the EU becomes a composed state. Hereafter one has to deal with the international organization with several elements of supranationality whose existence is possible and whose functionning depends on its sovereign member states. Perhaps it seems as most correct to refer to the EU by a functionalist definition.

The text deals with ways in which Slovak live-action films made in 1990s introduced the topic of mistrust in the state and its institutions. On specific examples, the text demonstrates such mistrust was not primarily a critical attitude, but rather consisted of two basic forms of refection. On one hand, live-action films made for cinema often promoted the post-modern principle of a ‘relative’ truth, presenting a lifestyle with minimal ties to the state, sometimes also formulating mistrust in specific state institutions (the police, state-run artistic institutions, education system) by means of irony. On the other hand, films made for state television frequently drew attention to corruption within state organisations and the fact it was usually being generally accepted as a status that did not need to be analysed. In both cases, the message of 1990s was carried on to the next millennium, and can eventually be interpreted as a way of solidifying the discourse of mistrust that we perceive in contemporary Slovak film for cinemas and television.

Using the example of three films – Kandidát (The Candidate, 2013, dir. Jonáš Karásek), Pirko (Little Feather, 2016, dir. Lucia and Petr Klein Svoboda), and Únos (Kidnapping, 2017, dir. Mariana Čengel-Solčanská), the present study deals with distrust in the systemic elements of society in Slovak feature films in the period following the establishment of the Audio-visual Fund (2009). By means of a thematic and stylistic analysis, it points to the similarities between the selected films. It shows their rootedness in the established trends of Slovak cinema as well as their diversion from them, which is mirrored in their dialogical work with the phenomenon of reality, by creating an illusion of anticipation or influencing future action.
The role of a sovereign in a state is passing through a complicated development during the existence of the state. This development is not direct and gradual but sometimes it regresses to the previous evolutionary stages and subsequently it reverts to the modern and civilized forms (like other social phenomenon). Therefore there are both modern form of democracy and totalitarian regime in the state over several tens of years. The aim of this paper is dealing with the status of the sovereign in a modern democratic state system, not researching causes of mentioned phenomenon.

The paper deals with reflections on the transformations occurring within societal organisation upon the example of Poland, Bohemia and Rus' at the end of the tenth century and during the first decades of the eleventh century. Emphasis placed upon differences between the tribal and state system is accompanied by special attention focused on the changes to which both those systems were subjected, together with an attempt at defining particular development phases. The point of departure of the ensuing deliberations is a characterisation of social groups interested in systemic transformations. Among the catalysts determining the origin of such groups the author distinguishes economic factors relating to the possibility of obtaining new sources of revenue, and psychic factors connected with promotion within the hierarchy of prestige. In the latter domain, an essential role was played by the emergence of the collective consciousness of a group interested in systemic changes, based on an awareness of its distinction from other groups and the creation of a memory about its past. Fundamental differences between tribal and state organisation involved the significance and power of the executive authority enjoyed by the duke's armed squad. Originally, the authority of the ruler was extremely broad, but with time it became restrained by new social elites whose origin was highly differentiated: they were composed of persons who no longer saw perspectives for themselves within the old order as well as those tribal elders who were capable of adapting themselves to the new system. The state witnessed a new division of the social revenue, which favoured the duke and his entourage, thus producing an increasingly strong polarisation of the population. Another phenomenon involved a gradual transformation of the structures of the economic and political administration by creating new provinces (including Church ones) and stronghold|castle-town districts. We are unable to define precisely the onset of the transformation of tribal structures. Rapid changes affecting the character of the state, linked with a growing prominence of the lords, were discernible already during the mid-eleventh century.
The article summarises the results of undertaken studies of evolution of theoretical looks at regulation of agrarian sector development. It is ascertained, the only state that has enough supplies of products to come to the foreign markets develops successfully. Therefore agrarian sector can be both the reason of the state economic crisis and sphere of crisis overcoming. It is proved, that the process of enterprises and governmental regulation convergence will grow, while holding the requirements of sustainable development (human, ecology, economics) and agrarian sector development within the bounce of innovative and investment model.

This text is a response to a review of Petr Sommer's book 'Svaty Prokop. Z pocatku ceskeho statu a cirkve' (Saint Prokop. From the Beginnings of the Bohemian State and Church), Prague 2007. The concept of this book, which strives to provide an interdisciplinary view of the Early Middle Age and Prokop's personality was positively received. However, negative responses related to the concept of the organization of the early medieval Bohemian state, its church and the institution of private property. In response to these reproaches, the author explains why the argument based on Prokop's ownership of private property as the justification for the existence of private and heritable property in the Early Bohemian Middle Ages is unacceptable to him; why he does not consider the model of the feudal organization of society as antiquated and where the principles of organization of the early Bohemian state and its society lie. Furthermore, he discusses the possibilities of using legendary texts, penitentials and books of homilies for the reconstruction of Prokop's world and the degree of modelling permissible in the work of a historian who detaches himself from historical resources.
The mechanism of state regulation and functioning of the financial market, their basic elements and directions of influence on development of the financially-credit mechanism of joint-stock companies in Ukraine is investigated.
After World War I, Greek Catholic Church had been brought from the previous era to the new constitutional circumstances reputation of the subject willing to cooperate with former governmental authorities on magyarization of its believers. The Church had thus necessarily to undergo the process of adaptation to the new conditions of democratic and nationally Slavic oriented first Czechoslovak Republic. One manifestation of this was the modification of its management structures. The present study discusses about competing factions within the leadership of ecclesial province struggling for the post of new apostolic administrator, which were differentiated based on national and cultural preferences and attitudes to then actual state power.

The thesis is also concerned with the place of parties in ensuring the cooperation between the state and society in Germany. The author notes the deformation of parties’ democracy in Germany, close connection between political parties and the state, weakening status of the political parties as public representants.

This article focuses on a key episode in the Czech political-economic history of the 1990s, the abandonment of 'Czech capitalism', and the switch towards the competition state and an economic model based on foreign investment. The account of the U-turn in the policy approach to foreign investors identifies domestic actors that have had a crucial role in organising political support for the competition state. These actors, which the author calls the 'comprador' service sector, have an important role in mediating the structural power of transnational investors and translating it into other forms of power within the state. These actors also had a major role in shaping the U-turn in policy in the Czech Republic.
The evolution of the concepts «steadiness» and «economic safety of an enterprise» was considered in the article. It was suggested to consider the concept of “enterprise stability” in the light of economic safety of an enterprise. The interconnection between the categories “stability of an enterprise” and “economic safety of the state” was analyzed in the article, the importance of business entities for the state successful development is reflected. One of the main problems of belorussian legislation in the sphere of sustainable development of an enterprise was defined.
The article is focused on theoretical considerations aimed at defining and delimitation of the ranges of public and private spheres. Such considerations are justified by the fact that the theory of state and of public sector, as well as fundamentals of economic analysis and regulation of the public sphere, constitute a relatively poorly developed part of the theory of economics. On the other hand, the public sphere and the demand for effective methods of its development become larger due to increasingly complicated social, political and economic relations, an increasingly tough competition and bitter rivalry, the density of population in most parts of our globe and a deeper and deeper disproportion in the development of particular areas.
Essence and economic nature of such categories, both investments and investment process, is examined in the article, that more frequent than all utilized in the economic system both on macro- and on micro levels. A place and role of subjects of investment process, which the state, population, enterprises in the investment system of country and region, co-operate among, is probed.
The obligation of a state to respect its own law is a key tenant of concepts of Rechtsstaat and rule of law. It contains an element of circularity, because it means the application of law on its creator, the state. The article analyzes this example of circularity using the concept of law as an autopoietic system elaborated particularly in the Works of G. Teubner. The presupposition of meaningful application of majority of circularity forms is redefinition of law as a social subsystem. Circularity is found on the level of “great systems” of law and “state”, but only in a very limited extent in relations between individual legal rules and public authorities. The operate closeness of law as an autopoitic system id broken by content of legal system and especially by its values.
