AbstractFollowing the completion of the process of decentralisation of public administration in Poland in 2003, a number of tasks implemented previously by the state authorities were transferred to the local level. One of the most significant changes to the financing and management methods of the local authorities was the transfer of tasks related to culture and national heritage to the set of tasks implemented by local governments. As a result of the decentralisation process, the local government units in Poland were given significant autonomy in determining the purposes of their budgetary expenditures on culture. At the same time, they were obliged to cover these expenses from their own revenues.This paper focuses on the analysis of expenditures on culture covered by the voivodship budgets, taking into consideration the structure of cultural institutions by their types, between 2003-2015. The location quotient (LQ) was applied to two selected years (2006 and 2015) to illustrate the diversity of expenditures on culture in individual voivodships.

Over Time

In this essay I examine the dispute between the German GreenParty and some of the country’s environmental nongovernmentalorganizations (NGOs) over the March 2001 renewal of rail shipmentsof highly radioactive wastes to Gorleben. My purpose indoing so is to test John Dryzek’s 1996 claim that environmentalistsought to beware of what they wish for concerning inclusion in theliberal democratic state. Inclusion on the wrong terms, arguesDryzek, may prove detrimental to the goals of greening and democratizingpublic policy because such inclusion may compromise thesurvival of a green public sphere that is vital to both. Prospects forecological democracy, understood in terms of strong ecologicalmodernization here, depend on historically conditioned relationshipsbetween the state and the environmental movement that fosterthe emergence and persistence over time of such a public sphere.

The Relationship

The creation of a class of strong native entrepreneurs has long been an aim of Irish industrial policy. Social science discussion of strategies stimulating Irish enterprise have tended to emanate from two broad theoretical viewpoints, modernisation theory and dependency theory,f which hold opposing views on the role the Stale can play in the promotion of business and enterprise. Considerations of the relationship between the State and an indigenous class of entrepreneurs have tended to centre on notions of ‘modernising’ and the ‘modernisation’ of society. This article shifts the focus away from a concentration on modernising to a consideration of the nature of modernity. The tendency to equate modernisation and modernity is liable to conceal or misrepresent the activities of certain economic actors, in particular State personnel. Using elements of the institutional analysis of modernity developed by Giddens (1991), the article examines the ‘selectivity function’ of Irish State personnel and their relationship with potential Irish entrepreneurs. This selectivity function can be construed as an attempt to establish an expert system to enable State personnel to assert some control over the enterprise culture juggernaut.

Abstract ENTRAP is a European organisation grouping nuclear waste quality checking laboratories from different EU member states. The main objectives of ENTRAP are information exchange and harmonisation between the laboratories. ENTRAP works on different aspects of quality checking of nuclear waste packages. The working items are treated in different working groups and one of these working groups is WGA, dealing with non-destructive assay techniques for waste packages. This paper discusses the main achievements made by WGA, and gives a summary of the state-of-the-practice of assay techniques used for quality checking of nuclear waste packages in the different member laboratories.

RESUMO:A discussão sobre o fundamento do poder normativo na empresa mobilizou vários recursos retóricos ao longo de mais de um século de ativitades discursivas acadêmicas. Os limites das teorias dogmática-doutrinárias necessitam uma verticalização da reflexão que pode ser oferecida por uma abordagem de teoria do direito. A partir de um ponto de vista metajurídico, a autonomia normativa pode ser estudado de forma real e completa na condição de achar um protocolo ou uma ferramenta operatória. A análise institucional, bem que desprovida de fronteiras sempre delimitadas oferece possibilidades e vitudes heurísticas e revela além da explicação sociológica do poder na empresa, suas relações com o direito do estado. ABSTRACT:The discussion about the foundation of the normative power at an enterprise mobilized multiple retorical resources for more than a century of discursive academic activities. The limits of the doctrinaire-dogmatic theories need a reflection verticalization which can be offered through an approach of law theory. Starting from a metajuridical point of view, the normative autonomy can be studied in a real and complete way, under the condition of finding a protocol or an operative tool. The institutional analysis, well devoid of always delimited frontiers, offer possibilities and heuristic virtues and reveal beyond the sociological explanation of the power at the enterprise, but also your relations with the law of the state.
