The sociological perspective in ownership analysis adopted by the author is neither the only one nor a dominant one in sociology. It refers to Stanisław Kozyr-Kowalski’s ownership theory according to which ownership means a free (i.e. unpaid) benefit from an object, no matter what the legal property status of the beneficiary. Communal ownership is a form of common ownership of which two sociologically...

Euro crisis so far appears not to have had any significant impact on the EU’s foreign trade performance: its standing in world trade has not moved. Yet, the crisis has exacerbated differences in the external performance. Three groups have emerged: stagnant economies of the Southern periphery of the EU; a dynamic New Europe; and a stable North. Neither the Euro nor the financial global crisis has changed...

It recapitulates the social and spatial experiments carried out in 2005, when one of the first processes of revitalisation in Poland had just commenced. The idea of revitalisation was based on two pillars. One was a socially rooted idea of inhabitant participation in urban planning, inspired by East German experience, and the other...

On the basis of the dogmatic analysis of the structure of an unintentional crime,...
