Its objective is to share with the governments of the region the knowledge, experience and good practices of OECD countries to create a sound business climate for investment, enhance productivity and support entrepreneurship, develop the private sector, and build knowledge-based economies to render its sectors more competitive and attractive to foreign investment. Its approach comprises both a regional policy dimension, which entails peer dialogue and capacity building, and a country-specific aspect supporting the implementation of a number of prioritised reforms. A sector analysis is also included, covering the formulation of targeted policies and strategies requested at the industry level. Within the framework of the programme, public authorities, the private sector and civil society in these countries have been engaged in a dialogue and collaboration process to support policy actions and identify the key barriers to sectoral competitiveness. The participation of all the stakeholders in the reform process, including foreign investors, is considered to be crucial for guaranteeing the effectiveness and transparency of the recommended policies. 2 Foreword Since 2009, the OECD Eurasia Competitiveness Programme has supported the Government of Ukraine in advancing national economic reform through its “Sector Competitiveness Strategy for Ukraine” project.

THE ETHNOMETHODOLOGICAL APPROACH ERNEST SZUM, RYSZARD CIEŒLIÑSKI The Josef Pilsudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport in Bia³a Podlaska, Department of Pedagogics Mailing address: Ryszard Cieœliñski, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport in Bia³a Podlaska, Department of Pedagogics, 2 Akademicka Street, 21-500 Bia³a Podlaska, tel.: + 48 83 3428776, fax: +48 83 3428800, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This article presents the Lemkos games and fun as popular forms of physical culture of the Lemko community living in former areas of south-eastern Poland. It presents them as part of the intangible culture of the vanishing ethnic group. The traditional elements of physical culture of the Lemko community, especially fun and games have been presented on the basis of the general characteristics of this ethnic group, and the entire history of the presence of the Lemkos in Poland. Folk fun and games, as a form of physical activity are presented in the broad sense of physical and cultural system and the Lemko community located within the cultural system. The need for such a study is due to the fact that there are no other ethnological or cultural anthropology studies on physical culture of this ethnic group. Key words: Lemkos, physical culture, fun and games, religious rites, social rituals, leisure sociology, ethnology, cultural anthropology Introduction During the 2011 National Census the Lemko nationality was declared by 10,000 people, compared with the 38.5 million In European culture, traditional games and activities of folk population of Poland, including half of the respondents sur- nature, as well as dances and other forms of physical activity are veyed declaring it as the only nationality, 2,000 people indi- an important component of any national culture [1].
