  • Cultural Heritage in Poland
    Santander Art and Culture Law Review 2/2017 (3): 319-342 DOI: 10.4467/2450050XSNR.17.017.8435 CULTURAL HERITAGE IN POLAND Olgierd Jakubowski* [email protected] National Institute for Museums and Public Collections ul. Goraszewska 7 02-910 Warsaw, Poland The Threat to Cultural Heritage from Crime in Poland: 2016 Cases Abstract: Various methods of risk assessment can be deployed when examining the phenomenon of crime against cultural herit- age. Annual data concerning instances of particular crimes involv- ing cultural assets as well as case studies allow us to understand the trends in the activities of the perpetrators and help to develop methods of prevention. This article presents selected data as well as cases of offences discovered or committed in Poland in 2016, based on the statistics provided by the police, Customs Service, and Border Guard. It also presents data on final convictions of per- petrators of such acts. As part of the annual cycle of analysis, the developments illustrate the trends and risks to monuments and cultural assets in a given year. This complementary presentation of information about the threat to cultural heritage is important for research and policy-making aimed at developing strategies for its protection. * Olgierd Jakubowski is Chief Expert at the National Institute for Museums and Public Collections in Warsaw, where he is responsible for export licensing and cooperation with police and customs. Olgierd is currently a member of the European Commission’s working groups on the export and import of cultural goods. In Poland, he is the coordinator of the Internal Market Information System module with regard to the return of cultural objects unlawfully removed from the territory of an EU Member State.

An account of the events — INTRODUCTION — INTRODUCTION On June 20, 2014, the Malta Festival Poznań cancelled the performance of the play Golgota Picnic, one of the leading events of the festival’s 24th edition. The play was scheduled to be performed on June 27 and 28 at the Zamek Cultural Centre. The author of the piece, Rodrigo García, was the curator of the festi- val’s Thematic Idiom Latin America: Mestizos. The decision to cancel the performance — the result of unprecedented attacks by Catholic groups, and the pow- erlessness of the state — sparked a media scandal, and quickly became a question of public interest. This happened because the issue of Golgota Picnic had became another in a series of events that had tested the limits of Polish democ- racy.

  • The Government and Politics of France: Fifth Edition
    The Government and Politics of France This fifth edition of The Government and Politics of France offers a fully revised, updated and comprehensive view of the contemporary French political scene based on the work of the leading specialist on France of his generation. It covers such events as the dramatic presidential election of 2002 and includes a major new chapter on France and European integration, culminating in the historic rejection of the European consti- tutional treaty by French voters in May 2005. Although particular attention is paid to the most recent period, the book covers the whole of the Fifth Republic in depth, from its heroic beginnings under de Gaulle to the period of reverses and defeats sustained by successive governments under the Mitter- rand and Chirac presidencies. The contemporary period is placed firmly in the context of those long-standing political traditions which have maintained their power to shape French political behaviour to this day. The long view supplied in this book allows a unique understanding of how the dynamic, confident economic and political power of the early de Gaulle years has become the more hesitant and troubled nation of the early twenty-first century – and of the points of continuity that underlie this development. The Government and Politics of France is the authoritative guide to French politics and is essential for undergraduates and postgraduates with interests in French politics, European studies and political science. Andrew Knapp is Professor of French Politics and Contemporary History at the Uni- versity of Reading. He is author of Parties and the Party System in France (2004), Le Gaullisme après de Gaulle (1996), and, with Yves Mény, Government and Politics in Western Europe (third edition, 1998).
