T. 26 ISSN 2353-9852 https://doi.org/10.31261/PPPM.2020.26.01 Foreword The current volume of “Problemy Prawa Prywatnego Między- narodowego” — the leading Polish periodical in the field of private inter- national law — is primarily devoted to the Regulation No 650/2012 of 4 July 2012 on jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition and enforcement of decisions and acceptance and enforcement of authentic instruments in matters of succession and on the creation of a European Certificate of Suc- cession (“the Succession Regulation”). The Succession Regulation constitutes one of the first EU instru- ments of private international law inevitably affecting the everyday life of an average European. A well-known saying — attributed to Benjamin Franklin in his letter to Jean-Baptiste Le Roy in 1789 (although the ori- gins of this self-evident statement are disputed) — states that “nothing is certain except for death and taxes”. It describes things that are una- voidable for any human being. Tax law, at least as far as direct taxation is concerned, remains predominantly within the competence of the Mem- ber States. By adopting the Succession Regulation, the Union legislator established the rules affecting the legal consequences of the other “una- voidable” aspect of human existence. As the ambiguous origin of the aforementioned saying illustrates, apart from death and taxes, nothing is indeed certain and self-evident. This is also the case of the Succession Regulation. The first experiences with its application in the Member States have made it possible to identi- fy a number of vital legal problems, which go beyond the issues that had been discussed at the moment of the adoption of the Regulation in ques- tion. Indeed, the Succession Regulation has turned out to be a goldmine of challenges for practitioners and academics. These challenges range from classical issues of private international law, such as the delimita- tion of the scopes of applicable laws or preliminary questions, to issues 8 Foreword of a more general character, such as the notions of “Member State” or “court” within the meaning of the Succession Regulation. Moreover, in order to properly identify and explain these challenges, a cooperation of legal experts coming from different legal traditions seems indispensable. For this reason, I would humbly submit that both the conference and the collection of studies contained in the present volume of “Problemy Prawa Prywatnego Międzynarodowego” represent an important step in the con- solidation of European Succession Law. As a former secretary of the Editorial Board of this periodical, I am particularly honoured to host among the authors the most distinguished European scholars in the field. There is no doubt that the voice of Aca- demia continues to inspire both the Court of Justice of the European Union as well as national courts in the interpretation and application of the Succession Regulation. At the same time, judicial decisions should be properly addressed, assessed and, if need be, critically scrutinised in legal writings. This is the only way to consolidate European Succession Law in order to make it equitable and comprehensible for all Europeans who — without any exception — are not immune from dealing with le- gal aspects of succession. I strongly believe that the studies contained in the present volume of “Problemy Prawa Prywatnego Międzynarodowego” will contribute to this ongoing and lively debate with its enormous prac- tical implications.

  • Polish International Relations Studies and Post- Historiography, Disciplinary Development After the Cold War
    Revista UNISCI / UNISCI Journal, Nº 40 (Enero / January 2016) POLISH INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS STUDIES AND POST- HISTORIOGRAPHY, DISCIPLINARY DEVELOPMENT AFTER THE COLD WAR Edward Haliżak 1 University of Warsaw Abstract: The purpose of this article is to present the methodological and institutional development of international studies in Poland, which were formed under the influence of the unique historical experience resulting from Poland’s geographical location between Germany and Russia. This unfavourable geopolitical location was overcome after the Cold War, when Poland joined Western institutions: NATO and the European Union. The integration with the West provided a qualitatively new impetus for the development of international studies and especially the issues of security and European integration; moreover, entirely new possibilities of academic cooperation opened up in the field of international relations studies. The article focuses on the following issues: first, the historical tradition of international relations studies in Poland until the end of the Cold War; and second, the process of autonomisation of international studies in Poland as a discipline of social sciences after the fall of communism. Keywords: Poland, international studies, transformation of international studies, Polish authors. Resumen: El artículo presenta el desarrollo metodológico e institucional de los estudios internacionales en Polonia, que se desarrollaron en función de la influencia de su situación geográfica entre Alemania y Rusia y una experiencia histórica única. Esta situación se superó con el final de la guerra fía, cuando Polonia se integró en la OTAN y en la Unión Europea. La integración en Occidente produjo un impacto cualitativo en el desarrollo de los estudios internacionales en particular en asuntos como la integración y la seguridad europea, a lo que se añadieron importantes posibilidades de cooperación académica en el campo de las relaciones internacionales.

  • SHRI RAM COLLEGE of COMMERCE Sir Shri Ram (1884-1963)
    st Annual 91Report 2016-17 SHRI RAM COLLEGE OF COMMERCE Sir Shri Ram (1884-1963) “Education is the key which is going to unlock the door to our greatness...” Lala Shri Ram, the enigmatic visionary behind the institution, was born on April 27, 1884. The first son of Madan Mohan Lal and Chando Devi, Lala Shri Ram completed his education in Delhi. In 1909, the 25 years old Lala Shri Ram joined DCM. He possessed an analytical mind, an infinite capacity for work and a knack for human relations. During his life, Lala Shri Ram's main emphasis was on vocational, technical and women's education. As far back in 1920, he had decided to conduct the first experiment in vocation-oriented education by founding the Commercial Education Trust. The first school taken over by Commercial Education Trust was the Commercial High School. Commercial High School was raised in 1926 to the standard of an Intermediate College, in 1930 to a degree college and in 1934 to a post-graduate College. In 1942, Lala Shri Ram became the Chairman of the Governing Body of the College. By the year 1948, although comparatively young among the colleges of Delhi University, the Commercial College had the maximum enrolment possible under the University rules. In 1949, it was proposed to rename the College as 'Shri Ram College of Commerce' but it took two years to implement it due to the reticence of Lala Shri Ram. Lala Shri Ram's association with the College continued till 1962, when because of failing health, he resigned.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles a Hidden Immigration: the Geography of Polish-Brazilian Cultural Identity a Dissertation S
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles A Hidden Immigration: The Geography of Polish-Brazilian Cultural Identity A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Geography by Anna Katherine Dvorak 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Hidden Immigration: The Geography of Polish-Brazilian Cultural Identity by Anna Dvorak Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Stephen Bell, Chair Around two million people of Polish descent live in Brazil today, comprising approximately one percent of the national population. Their residence is concentrated mainly in the southern Brazil region, the former provinces (and today states) of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul regions. These areas were to large extent a demographic vacuum when Brazil began its history as a nation in 1822, but now include the foci of some of this huge country’s most dynamic economies. Polish immigration played a major role in adding new elements to Brazilian culture in many different ways. The geography of some of these elements forms the core of the thesis. At the heart of this work lies an examination of cultural identity shifts from past to present. This is demonstrated through a rural-urban case study that analyzes the impacts of geography, cultural identity, and the environment. The case study is a rural-urban analysis of two particular examples in Paraná, which will discuss these patterns and examine migration tendencies throughout ii southern Brazil. As a whole, this thesis aims to explain how both rural and urban Polish- Brazilian cultural identities changed through time, linking these with both economic and demographic shifts.

  • 1 Polish Law on Right to Information And
    POLISH LAW ON RIGHT TO INFORMATION AND CLASSIFICATION Adam Bodnar1 Irmina Pacho2 Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, Poland May 2011 I. Introduction The Polish classification regime is currently undergoing significant changes and transformations. In January 2011 a new legal act came into force bringing an entirely new system of classification. Such a radical amendment derived from an assumption that the previous law was out-of-date, not adapted to the modern technology and did not comply with current problems of classification. The first twelve months after the new act became binding, it will be a time of transformation. Within this time limit authorities are obliged to introduce executive orders outlining the execution and implementation of the new law completed. Until that moment some of the former classification system’s regulations will still be applicable. Therefore, it is yet too early to determine the consequences of introducing the new classification system, since the effectiveness will have to be verified by future practice. The aim of this paper is to highlight the most important shifts in the law, problems that appeared under previous regulations, as well as the main areas of concern, uncertainty and challenges remaining under the new act. II. Outline of current relevant legal regimes, including significant shifts 1. National legal authority for right to information Among the rights guaranteed in a democratic country is the right to have access to information on the activities of state bodies. The right to information is perceived as having fundamental value, since it enables citizens to participate in public life and, thus, empowers democracy.

  • Polish Perspectives on Cee-China 16+1 Cooperation: the Unexpected Ukrainian Factor
    EUROPOLITY, vol. 9, no. 1, 2015 POLISH PERSPECTIVES ON CEE-CHINA 16+1 COOPERATION: THE UNEXPECTED UKRAINIAN FACTOR Rafał TUSZYŃSKI1 Department of East Asian Studies, University of Lodz Lodz, Poland [email protected] Abstract The initiation in Warsaw of the CEE-China cooperation (so called 16+1 format) in 2012 has aroused many hopes in participating countries, since many of them were cash-strapped after the global financial crisis and China offered credit lines as well as know-how in infrastructure building. At the beginning, Poland viewed 16+1 as a useful platform to prove its growing diplomatic clout in CEE because China claimed that Poland is a natural and real leader of the 16+1. As the 16+1 cooperation matured this format quickly showed a major drawback – China uses the diversity among the 16 CEE countries (e.g. EU and non-EU status) to promote its own interests (divide et impera). The Chinese strategy turned out to be particularly at odds with Polish foreign policy goals, since from Warsaw's point of view the unity of the EU at all fronts in the face of Russian aggression on Ukraine is of the utmost necessity. Moreover Polish diplomacy is becoming more and more sceptical of 16+1 because of the EU's pressure to toe the line of EU framework of cooperation with China. The absence of Polish PM Ewa Kopacz at the 16+1 Belgrade Summit in December 2014 may result in a change of Chinese attitude towards 16+1. Keywords CEE; China; EU; Poland; 16+1 1 The present paper was presented at the International Student Conference ―V4 and Romania: 25 years since the fall of communism‖ (26-27 March 2015, Bucharest, Romania).
