Abstract

The purpose of the author was to indicate the deficiency of development management instruments currently used to the territorialization of policies in stimulating intra- and intersectoral partnership cooperation. Her reflections were based on the results of research commissioned by the Polish Ministry of Development and Investment by a team in which the author participated. These studies have revealed that the weakest impacts of the so-called territorial instruments include the ability to mobilize various stakeholder groups to take action and to create partnership cooperation. Against this background, the author has undertaken the analysis of the potential impact of territorial tools on the partnerships development and has attempted to present recommendations for practice and further research in this area.

Abstract

This article describes and analyses Polish diaspora policy changes in the years 2011–2015. Two decades after the rebirth of the Polonia policy in 1989, it was completely rebuilt. Emphasising values and Poland’s obligations towards the diaspora was replaced by paying more attention to the interests and profitability of this policy. The authors demonstrate how New Public Management (NPM) concepts influenced this shift. Analysis of two different sources – documents programming Polish diaspora policy and interviews with experts and persons designing the Polonia policy – confirmed that NPM principles influenced Polish dias-pora policy on five dimensions: organisational restructuring, management instruments, budgetary reforms, participation, marketisation/privatisation.

Abstract

This article describes the role of street art in the context of the city’s competitiveness and creativity. In addition, the study examines the perception of street art by residents of various cities in terms of its acceptance, associations, and impact on the image and competitiveness of cities. Based on selected examples from Poland, manifestations of street art were indicated as a determinant of the direction of changes in the image of the city’s architecture and urban layout. The entire discussion was set in the framework of a literature review, case study, and survey research. The article deals with the issues of urban artistic articulations and their impact on the increase in the level of social participation, growing creativity in public space and increasing the attractiveness and competitiveness of the city. By presenting numerous examples, the importance of street art was indicated as an element influencing the city’s popularity and attractiveness. Moreover, the manner of perception of street art among residents was presented, taking into account their place of residence in terms of population. The interdisciplinary approach implemented made it possible to confirm the purposefulness of using the activities of street artists in the space of our existence, in giving a unique identity of urban spaces, thus influencing the competitiveness of cities. Acceptance and positive perception of street art should make city authorities aware of how important this artistic current can become from the perspective of managing the city’s image.

Abstract

Higher education system in Poland has undergone in the years 1989–2020 the process of profound changes. The logic and the philosophy of the reforms of the Polish HEI have stayed in the broad frame of New Public Management, thus being convergent with the public policies addressed to academic institutions in US and Europe (Ferlie, Musselin, Andresani 2008). The circumstances of implementing the NPM driven reforms were, however, very specific in Poland: on the one hand, the modernization of the HE institutions took place in the context of the profound, wholistic systemic transformation. On the other, Polish academia entered the new era with the resources, habits and traditions that had been shaped by the past experiences. The paper is the case study of the Polish HEI after 1989. I aim to identify the processes and mechanisms that have been put into motion by the solutions and regulations adopted by the public authorities – privatization, performance based funding and decentralization in the first place. In the frame of NPM, public authorities supersede planning by steering via setting the boundary conditions and payoffs matrix in such a way as to encourage – or make rational – to move in a certain, desired direction. I argue this kind of steering resulted in many negative externalities, including instrumentalization of the HEI missions and erosion of the academic ethos.
