In discussing globalization, various authors refer for different reasons to the category of hybridity and hybridization of culture. Each time it becomes a tool with the use of which they attempt to solve various, at times similar, sometimes disparate problems. Searching for answers to different questions and thus rendering the category of hybridization dissimilar meanings, social scientists engage it into contexts of manifold researches, controversies and debates. At the same time, the said category - when introduced into the realm of disputes over globalization - provokes one to pose further questions and spawns another discussions and controversies. Over the past few years the category of hybridization has become increasingly present in numerous conceptions and discourses on globalisation It has been referred to by various authors, both by the opponents and enthusiasts of globalisation, by those who lay hope in its progression and by those who fear it. In fact, even the hardest critics of certain uses and abuses of the notion of hybridization, can create new meanings and contexts for the use of it.

The paper considers the necessity to reflect more closely upon the contradictions within discourses of modernism / modernity. Such discourses are often embedded in the discussions on the issue of globalisation, marked by the 'silent' premises of euro centrism present within the logic of cultural transmission from the centre to the periphery. Such theoretical framework must be considered inadequate and scanty in the light of contemporary world culture. Any attempt to effectively analyse the tensions, ambiguities and disjunctions of globalisation and modernity shall take into consideration the processes of production and reproduction of the multiple and various modernities. These were adequately described by Arjun Appadurai, Nestor Garcia Canclini or Jose Maria Barbero. Closer took upon in congruencies and ruptures accompanying the emergence of such vernacular modernisms across the world brings the idea of modernisation as hybridisation.

Presented paper is supposed to contribute to a discussion and arguments on two key methodological aspects of the research attitudes towards globalisation. The first one consists in the reasoning and defining of globalisation as a qualitatively new phase of world economy development, fundamentally different from internationalisation. Globalisation is related to a transition towards a new stage of human civilisation, the result of which is its recent process connected to a sharpening of the several contradictions, mostly in economic, social and ecological area. Based on this fact, the author derives a need for the second methodological aspect which requires a constructive-critical approach to its exploring that will be able to create scientific foundation for overcoming of its contradictions.

In this article the author attempts to qualify which components of free-market capitalism still correspond to the economic reality of corporate globalization. In au-thor’s opinion the activity of transnational corporations warp fundamental elements of market-led economy such as competition, price, private form of ownership and net profit as the only purpose of a corporation. The author claims, that nowadays it is necessary to think over both liberal and Keynesian tools of economic policy, particularly in time of recession.

Facing the globalized and increasingly competitive environment, the manufacturing sector of each economy is forced to its own continual competitiveness growth. Along with the intensifying competitiveness more attention is given to the industrial policy measures assigned to enhance the performance of the domestic firms. The raising attention to the European industrial policy could be connected with the problems linked to de-industrialisation and to the fears of de-localization (the European Union's manufacturing base moving out of Europe) as well. The first part of the presented article analyses the relationship between industrial policy and competitiveness. The following two parts are focusing on EU industrial policy, its development and the latest trends.

A reflection on globalization being one of the most discussed phenomena of the contemporary social life, leads to the legitimate conviction that this problem deserves a permanent diagnosis updated in the context of continual transformations taking place. Assessment of the globalization process in the context of the criteria developed within full-fledged democracies allows perceiving in the process constant challenges related to undertaking individual and social effort in order to minimize threats and maximize opportunities so that the transformations of the globalization era increasingly take on the nature of developmental changes. Furthermore, this reflection includes the issue of responsibility which should gradually change from scattered, weakened and fading into strong, conscious and creative in the realm of local communities as well as global reality.

The article below describes adult education in Iceland, primarily non-formal education. The structure, goals and the programme of adult education for immigrants have been analysed. One of the courses - The School of Settlers - has been scrutinised in more detail. Pedagogy of place is the theoretical framework for the analysis. The paper shows different traditions and ways of understanding this concept, as well as its relation to education for immigrants. One of the conclusions is that the non-formal education for adult immigrants in Iceland reflects some principles of the pedagogy of place, but to a limited extent. Moreover, there seems to be a problem with the small number of courses available in other languages than Icelandic.

The article discusses the contradictions between the general scientific reflection on globalisation present in social sciences and the attempts of the anthropologist who tries to interpret the phenomenon of globalisation and its social and cultural consequences in a specific local space. Two opposing scientific discourses appear against this background - one is theoretical, rather poorly rooted in empirical research and focused on the attempt to capture universal features of globalisation, detached from a specific place and time, and the other, more anthropological, primarily focused on the phenomenon of glocalisation, which is engaged in field research. Our understanding of the globalisation/glocalisation processes depends on how these phenomena are conceptualised and on the adequate research method chosen.The author discusses the character of relations linking globalisation to the identity building processes and makes references to the concepts of such researchers as Roland Robertson, Ajrun Appadurai, Ulf Hannerz, Manuel Castells, James Clifford, and Zygmunt Bauman. She shows examples of the empirical research of globalisation processes, presented in Polish anthropological texts. The author emphasises the need to conduct profound studies aimed at capturing the sense that local communities associate with the globalisation impacts, thus reorganising their particular world and reconstructing their identity.

This essay discusses factors of the cultural change resulting from the use of teleinformatic tools. Despite the asymmetric development of new technologies, the number of the Internet users is increasing dynamically. The international society attempts to include all actors in the global circulation. However, differences between highly developed and underinvested regions are so great that it is impossible to equalise them in the short term. The paper distinguishes some areas associated with inequalities and barriers for the use of new technologies. The first issue is creation and development of infrastructure with special emphasis on electricity transmission systems. The foundation of transmission systems is one of the basic conditions for the development of other areas of life. If it is not possible to provide constant accesses to electric energy, teleinformatic tools will not be of use. The second condition is the support of know-how which means creation of the social capital and resources which help to implement this knowledge on the local level. The third issue is that it is necessary to have a support of the economic capital: direct (in the form of specific devices) and indirect (in the form of scholarship and grant systems). However, a condition for the indirect form of support is that skills acquired through scholarships will be used on the regional and local level. It seems that one of the most important issues is the change in the way of thinking and use of tools. If individuals on the regional level do not understand benefits resulting from teleinformatisation, all other actions will be ineffective. Finally, it is useful to refer again to the concept of the constructive globalisation. Appropriate use of teleinformatic tools may become a factor of the constructive globalisation on the local and regional level. Benefits of the implementation of modern technologies will become apparent in the long term.

We live in times of contradicting globalisation processes, tensions between civilisations and conflicts between different cultures. We consider globalisation, which with regards to all its advantageous and disadvantageous traits critically as an ambivalent phenomenon. It is currently the reason and context of the intercultural and the transcultural phenomena. However, it is necessary to realise that the result of all the factors influencing of globalisation always takes place at a specific location. A global network integrates and absorbs local networks to the global system, not excluding even the urban units – towns. The objective of this article is to disrobe the process of globalisation in the “railway town” and increase awareness of some connections between global and local phenomena.

In the second half of the 20th century efforts were launched in various countries of the world that led to the creation of the foundations of an organisational system referred to as the 'seed industry', which groups plant breeding and seed producing firms, as well as institutions responsible for the correct functioning of the sector. Progressing globalisation has resulted in the intensification of concentration processes in the seed industry. At present, the world production of seeds is dominated by several firms which operate on the global scale as producers not only seeds but also chemicals for agriculture, and medicines and biotechnological products. Simultaneously, the process of the state's withdrawal from supporting the practical plant breeding has started. Also observable is the growing role of self-government organisations grouping plant growers and producers of seeds, which begin to replace the state in the decision-making processes relating to the seed industry. Since the early 1990s the plant breeding sector in Poland has received assistance amounting to PLN 0.5 billion, for the restructuring of the existing companies. Despite that assistance the share of certified seeds in the total amount of grain used for sowing has decreased to 6% and the share of certified seed-potatoes has slumped to 3%. The export of Polish seeds is far lower than the export of seeds from the Czech Republic or Slovakia. Simultaneously, foreign firms are intensifying their expansion onto to the Polish market. The area of seed plantations of foreign varieties of spring barley is already larger than that of the seed plantations of Polish varieties of barley, whereas the area of seed plantations of foreign varieties of winter wheat is now only slightly smaller than the area of plantations supplying Polish varieties of seeds. Subsidies to plant breeding will be liquidated in 2007. Therefore, there is an urgent need to spin off the plant breeding entities from the existing companies and start ownership transformations using capital provided by foreign investors and/or by the employees-shareholders of the spin off entities.

The last decades represent a period of global economy fast transformation, which is reflected in the real life and leads to changes in relations between the situation in the labour market and the inflation processes. Those changes are frequently referred to as 'NAIRU' flattening. It can be expected that it will bring important consequences for the process of national monetary policy development in individual countries. The aim of the paper is to present analysis of the influence of NAIRU flattening on the effectiveness of the national monetary policy and effectiveness of its tools.

Transnational corporations play an important role in today’s global economy, not only because of the size of their incomes and significant share in international trade figures, but also due to the extremely extensive structures and complicated capital links that often occur among them. The paper presents the significance of transnational corporations in the process of unifying worldwide accounting regulations. Working out global accounting standards may be convenient for transnationals for many reasons, like reducing accounting costs or facilitating access to foreign capital. This goal can be achieved if two organizations – the IASB and FASB – cooperate.

The issue of law and the environment and its change are conditioned by several factors, such as ideology, the impact of the global political system, geopolitics and internal system of states. It is difficult to categorize effects and the importance of individual factors. The system of international law in theory is understood differently. Also in the area of globalisation we live in. This idea was stressed also by International Law Commission of UN. In its report from 2006 named Fragmentation, diversification and extension of the international law and in this report are stressed difficulties rising of this process with regards to globalisation. It is stressed problems arising from the new branches of international law conditioned by development of science and technology, the new problems connected with globalisation etc. This article devoted also the problem of division of international law stressing so call self-contained branches, principles of interpretation of elementary principles of international law. Prediction of its development is difficult. These principles should perhaps add the principle of the right to live in peace and the principle of respect for human rights for all. International law in our view should change into the world law. It may be largely changing in the world in two ways: 1. as the law of mankind, the earth to any existing civilizations on other celestial bodies and their laws. This reasoning is theoretical, hypothetical. 2. The concept of international law, global law would be more consistent with realities.

The article discusses the relation between globalisation and local contexts. It treats the process of globalisation as relative with respect to the culture of everyday life, evident in the face-to-face relations (housework, workplace, everyday symbolic forms). It also discusses the problem of glocalisation, stemming from the discussion of the work of Józef Chelmowski, a Kasubian folk artist. Glocalisation appears to be a manifestation of the strengthening of ties between the local forms of culture and the process of globalisation. This relation helps us to get a closer look at the functioning of global awareness among members of modern society, at the local level.

Whose is the city? This question only superficially refers to the past when at least some cities were in fact law-making, autonomous communities of their citizens. Unlike in the past, the contemporary city is a random collection of individuals gathered in a space with no clear boundaries, who in their majority have a weak sense of identification with the place of their residence, whether longer or shorter. The residents of such a city are not citizens but merely users of space which has become a commodity. Taking Warsaw as an example, the paper shows the process of selling out the city space, which is driven by globalisation and metropolisation processes. The consequence of this is privatisation and fragmentation of space, leading to the evaporation of public space in the city.

The authors raise an extremely important, yet controversial, issue concerning the future of the European Model of Agriculture (EMA) under the circumstances of increased globalisation. In various respects, EU agriculture constitutes an exceptional subsystem, which has emerged as a result of implementing the Common Agricultural Policy. The study includes an analysis of the underlying features embedded in this model, significant for its competitiveness under globalisation conditions. The analysis also covers the consequences of globalisation, such as the necessity to verify the categories marginal to agricultural production conditions, and the impact of globalisation on food safety. As the final conclusion, the authors suggest a number of premises indicating that globalisation, without specific political and economic measures, may result in downgrading the EMA, which may lead to its rejection or decline, hence to the marginalisation of agriculture in the EU countries.

Global flows and their geopolitical power relations powerfully shape the environments in which children lead their everyday lives. Children’s images, imaginations and ideas of distant places are part of these global flows and the everyday activities children perform in preschool. Research explores how through curricula young children are moulded into global and cosmopolitan citizens and how children make sense of distant places through globally circulating ideas, images and imaginations. How these ideas, images and imaginations form an unproblematised part of young children’s everyday preschool activities and identity formation has been much less explored, if at all. The author uses Massey’s (2005) concept of a ‘global sense of place’ in her analysis of ethnographic data collected in an Australian preschool to explore how children produce global qualities of preschool places and form and perform identities by relating to distant places. She pays special attention to how place, objects and children become entangled, and to the sensory aspects of their emplaced experiences, as distant spatialities embed in and as children’s bodies inhabit the preschool place. To conclude the author calls for critical pedagogies to engage with children’s use of these constructions to draw similarities or contrast aspects of distant places and self, potentially reproducing global power relations by fixing representations of places and through uncritically enacting stereotypes.

The article presents the influence of globalisation processes in the macro-scale on the activity conducted in agriculture's environment and, especially the impact of these processes on the demand for food and its global supply (in the OECD countries). The observable changes call for the introduction of new institutional solutions in the sphere of co-operation between food producers and the trade infrastructure. The introduction of new solutions leads to the emergence of new forms of co-operation in the sphere of sale of mass-produced and niche food articles which permit to meet the demand of the emerging new sub-segments of the market in Poland both in urban agglomerations and in rural areas.

Level and convergence of inflation rate in the EU states was examined with the use of three groups of countries. The first group was composed of the 12 richest and most developed countries of the world that do not belong to the EU. Another control group included the 12 poorest countries of the world, and the third one included the so-called 'former' European Union states. The conducted analysis of the period 1980-2006 indicated that the reduction of inflation rate was faster and stronger in rich countries - both as regards EU members and those that remain outside this integration group - than in poor countries. Although a long-term convergence of inflation in the EU countries is the highest, the existing differences show that the main cause of its reduction is the neo-liberal concept of maintaining a constant low rate of price increase as one of the conditions ensuring a stable rate of economic growth.
