Some ideas are elaborated in-depth and presented as moral realism in the theory of law in my forthcoming book Status prawny i dynamika porządku prawnego to be published by the University of Lodz in 2017.

The main goal was to study the main lines of argument ant its relevance to military practice of targeted killing. We found that legal criticism is on the increase but the military practice continues. We stress the moral risk of using the autonomous weapons. In conclusion, we suggest the need for new both domestic and international regulations of any use of drones before they become fully autonomous and beyond control. Timing is crucial. If humans will not control the technology, the technology will control humans. New UN convention on smart weapons and the conditions under which its use should be allowed is a matter of practical necessity as the number of states using it increases so fast.

Projekt ma na celu całościowe opracowanie analityczne jednej z głównych gałęzi prawa polskiego-prawa administracyjnego. Od 2009 roku liczne zespoły autorskie koordynowane przez Instytut Nauk Prawnych PAN opracowały dwanaście tomów tworzących system wiedzy o prawie administracyjnym w Polsce z licznymi porównaniami z instytucjami prawnymi innych państw Europy. Samo przypomnienie tytułów kolejnych tomów pokazuje nadzwyczajny zakres ambicji poznawczych PT Autorów tego projektu-Instytucje prawa administracyjnego. Tom 1, Konstytucyjne podstawy funkcjonowania administracji publicznej. Tom 2, Europeizacja prawa administracyjnego. Tom 3, Wykładnia w prawie administracyjnym. Tom 4, Prawne formy działania administracji. Tom 5, Podmioty administrujące. Tom 6, Prawo administracyjne materialne. Tom 7, Publiczne prawo gospodarcze. Tom 8A, Publiczne prawo gospodarcze. Tom 8B, Prawo procesowe administracyjne. Tom 9, Stosunek służbowy. Tom 11, Odpowiedzialność odszkodowawcza w administracji. Tom 12. Takie wielkie, wielotomowe, systematyczne opracowania całej gałęzi prawa są dobrą tradycją nauk prawnych w Niemczech, Szwajcarii, Austrii i w innych państwach zachodniej Europy. W Polsce takie kolosalne, systematyzacyjne i systemotwórcze projekty nie były podejmowane. Ta innowacja edytorska i badawcza ma na pewno znaczenie kulturotwórcze, bowiem zachęca naukę i praktykę prawniczą do bardziej holistycznego myślenia o prawie, o budowaniu wiedzy o systemach, jakimi są poszczególne gałęzie prawa. Trudno powiedzieć, jaki krąg adresatów ma taka całość złożona z wielu tysięcy stron-czy są to sami uczeni tworzący wiedzę o prawie, praktycy procesu administrowania i urzędnicy stosujący prawo administracyjne, studenci wydziałów prawa i administracji, inne zainteresowane osoby? Czy raczej przydatna będzie dla adwokatów, radców prawnych, sędziów, aplikantów? Sami PT Autorzy są uczonymi akademickimi i praktykamisędziami sądów administracyjnych, adwokatami, radcami, specjalistami

Legal order consists of much more than a legal system (the law): this is a non positivist approach in jurisprudence. Both the legal system and the legal order are made by many decisions of many participants and not only by the legislative authorities of the State. The wider context of the legal order and the legal system is of course a social order and the spontaneous interactions between public and private power on the one hand and public and private property on the other are the most significant sources of the dynamism of the law and the legal order. Last but not least, I want to make it clear that law and the legal order should be perceived as an emergent process of changes and not as stable and rationally designed structures. The emerging legal order and the law as its normative component is permanently driven by a competitive cooperation of many actors, by intentional decisions and actions undertaken by persons who are motivated by their concern about their legal status 1 .

The author argues that Central European governments — ie. Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, Hungary — are highly interested in extended responsibility for NATO. Old and new missions of NATO are being discussed and the sequence of reasons for the extended responsibility is being presented : bad experience with the WTO, preventing security strategies from being re-nationalized, non military threats to stability, preventing the security vacuum and unpredictable futures, eliminating barriers which separate Central Europe from the West, assurance of being on the same side as Germany, opportunity to reform NATO by preparing for the bilateral security agreements betgween NATO and Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia.

Firstly, ’crises ’ of 1956 and 1980 are compared, focusing on cyclical characters of political processes in Poland. Similarities are stressed between 1956 and 1980 upheavals with regard to demands for democracy, justice and social welfare- permanent domains of frustration. Secondly, a typical political cycle is outlined. Its eight phases are described and compared for the periods 1956-1970 and 1970-1980, from the point of view which treats them as devices for adaptation to environments undergoing both internal and external changes. Finally, a discussioa is given of factors responsible for the stability of political alienation in Poland, pointing out the main sources of the bureaucratization: genesis and the type of political system, intrinsic structural contradictions, certain properties of in-stitutional structures, and deformation of politicians ’ and administrators...

The long story of the State is not over now. It is both descriptive and normative study in strategy making and on the limits to strategic operations of ruling groups in the institutional framework of liberał democracy. Wicked problems, Gordian knots and the increasing speed of spontaneous changes may lead to the Tsunami Effect in strategic thinking when no strategy works and proves to be satisfactory.

My purpose is to show the relevance and the importance of the legal status in understanding the interest games in social orders.
Legal status is presented as a convolution of legal norms and social recognition i.e a set of social facts.

Work in progress on dynamism of law-fact convolution. To be continued. Do not quote please.
