Ústava Slovenskej republiky garantuje v článku 35 právo každého na slobodnú voľbu povolania a prípravu naň, ako aj právo podnikať a uskutočňovať inú zárobkovú činnosť. Každý má právo slobodne sa rozhodnúť, či si prostriedky na živobytie zabezpečí prácou ako samostatne zárobkovo činná osoba so všetkými dôsledkami a rizikami z toho vyplývajúcimi, alebo ako zamestnanec v pracovnoprávnych vzťahoch výkonom závislej práce. Mantinely a pravidlá výkonu uvedených práv sú regulované predovšetkým predpismi pracovného, obchodného aj daňového práva, s korpusom práv a povinností patriacich osobitne podnikateľom a osobitne zamestnancom. Neustály tlak konkurencie i dôsledky ekonomickej krízy privádzajú zamestnávateľov k hľadaniu cestičiek ako od vykonávateľov práce dosiahnuť čo najviac, za optimalizácie čo najnižších poistných, administratívnych i daňových nákladov. Pracovné pomery so zamestnancami sú ukončované a pod tlakom straty prostriedkov na živobytie sa „dobrovoľne“ menia na vzťahy obchodnoprávne. Nielen táto, ale aj ďalšie deformácie trhu práce konfrontujú subjekty práva na prácu s neférovými praktikami zamestnávateľov, čím minimalizujú možnosť realizácie slobody pri uplatňovaní tohto základného práva.

Riešením malo byť legislatívne zakotvenie definície závislej práce zákonom č. 348/2007 Z. z., ktorým sa novelizoval Zákonník práce. Či sa fenoménu „nútených živností“ a ďalších foriem zastretých pracovnoprávnych vzťahov podarilo vývojom definície závislej práce zabrániť, je základnou výskumnou otázkou viacerých vedeckých príspevkov v predkladanom zborníku vedeckých prác. Ambíciou autorského kolektívu je snaha o identifikáciu negatívnych javov trhu práce v korelácii s nedokonalosťami a medzerami pracovnoprávnej úpravy, ktoré spôsobujú jeho neželané deformácie. Ich dôsledné skúmanie v teoreticko-právnej rovine vyústi do výsledkov a návrhov de lege ferenda, ktoré sú súčasne riešeniami grantového projektu Vega č. 1/0805/13 „Optimalizácia usporiadania modelu pracovných vzťahov na trhu práce v Slovenskej republike“.

The concept of a transterritorial administrative act is relatively new in administrative law, especially in the conditions of the Slovak Republic. It has practical applicability to the application of European Union law (including international law). Its essence lies in the fact that the effects of such an administrative act issued within one Member State exceed the territory of that Member State, have effects in other Member States, in all Member States of the European Union without being subject to the recognition process.

The purpose of the monograph is to present outputs of the scientific examination of this type of administrative acts, the definition of its characteristics and its effects, the examination of the possibilities of procedural defense against its effects by the State concerned, and possibly the possibility of unifying the action of the Member States of the European Union in case of procedural defense against the effects of transterritorial administrative acts. The monograph also contains analysis of certain types of transterrritorial administrative acts that are commonly used in the conditions of the European union and Slovak republic; they are also categorized under specific criteria.,

Zborník príspevkov z I. ročníka študentského sympózia z pracovného práva konaného v dňoch 8. – 9. apríla 2016 v Danišovciach

Diskusie k téme súkromia sú v súčasnej dobe veľmi aktuálne a zaujímavé. Zdokonaľovanie a progres technológií pridali súkromiu jednotlivca nový rozmer. S používaním moderných elektronických výdobytkov sa v spojitosti so súkromím skloňujú slová ako vzácny artikel, chiméra či ilúzia. Voči modernizácii nezostali imúnne ani pracoviská. Stroje nahrádzajú prácu ľudí, programujú a plánujú výrobný proces, ale aj kontrolujú, monitorujú a zaznamenávajú plnenie zadaných pracovných úloh. Dostupnosť technológií a ich zavádzanie do prevádzok zamestnávateľov narúša osobnú a osobnostnú sféru zamestnancov, ktorá je imanentnou súčasťou života každej osoby a nezostáva ponechaná za dverami pracoviska. Správne a korektné využívanie kontrolného mechanizmu zamestnávateľmi znamená nielen zvládnutie jeho technickej inštalácie na pracovisku a úhradu na to finančne vynaložených nákladov, ale aj rešpekt k súkromiu zamestnanca. Nemožno opomenúť, že právo na súkromie patrí medzi základné ľudské práva a slobody požívajúc tomu zodpovedajúcu charakteristiku (neodnateľnosť, nescudziteľnosť, nezrušiteľnosť...) a príslušnú právnu ochranu. A aj keď nie je absolútne, a môže byť suspendované v prospech iného práva (predovšetkým práva zamestnávateľa na ochranu jeho vlastníctva), každý zásah akým je plošné kamerové sledovanie, monitoring telefonátov, emailovej pošty, blokovanie určitých internetových stránok a pod. má vždy nepriaznivé dôsledky na súkromie zamestnanca.

Studies of the European Union law may hardly be possible without making use of its sources. Lots of types of legal rules, several forms of judicial decisions as well as a wide spectrum of criteria used while searching among legal acts of the European Union and case-law of its courts in search engines on the official websites of the European Union may, however, appear confusing, thereby making the work with sources of the European Union law more complicated and prolonging it. Methodology Guide „How to Work Correctly with the Sources of the European Union Law“ aims to help students to understand the system of sources of the European Union law as well as the sources themselves, offer them tips and advice useful during their search and thus contribute to the adoption of fundamental procedures for working with them.

Medzinárodné právo nepredstavuje jednoliaty monolit uniformných právnych noriem. Ide o právny systém, ktorý je vo svojej podstate vytváraný konsenzom štátov. Je prejavom spoločnej vôle viacerých subjektov o tom, čo má byť medzi nimi záväzné a platiť ako právo. Z tohto poznania vyplýva fakt, že v rôznych častiach sveta sa budú potreby právnej úpravy odlišovať. Dôsledkom tejto situácie je vytváranie regionálnych zoskupení, kde platia do určitej miery špecifické právne pravidlá. Ako vo svojej štúdii publikovanej v tomto zborníku poukazuje prof. Klučka, regionalizácia môže prebiehať tak na zmluvnom základe, ako aj na základe inštitucionálnom. Regionalizmus v práve teda prináša mnoho zaujímavých otázok, ktorými sa zaoberá právna veda. K poznaniu v tejto oblasti má ambíciu prispieť aj predkladaný zborník vedeckých prác.

The present monograph "Regionalism and its Contribution to General International Law" was written at the Institute of European Law and Department of International Law, Faculty of Law, Pavol Jozef Safarik University in Kosice, as a part of the project (APVV-O823-11) carried out in 2011-2015, representing one of its final publication utputs. 

The main reason for choosing the topic was to evaluate regionalism in its various relationships and forms with respect to international law, and also to evaluate the place,importance and duties of international law in respect to the establishment and functioning of various forms of regionalgroups.

It is a fact that even though a lot of attention has been paid to regionalism, a more complex evaluation of the impact it has had on international law, and vice versa, is still lacking. The efforts of the present monograph are to partially eliminate this gap.

After giving a brief insight into how regionalism has developed, its content and terminology, the monograph studies in more details individual types of regionalism in the form of old and new regionalism, as well as treaty and institutional regionalism; its specifications and contributions to the international law.

Collection of contributions from the international scientific conference was created as part of the international scientific conference entitled "Administrative law without borders" held on October 19 and 20, 2023 in Tokaj in connection with the solution of the scientific project entitled "Extraterritorial effects of foreign administrative decisions in the conditions of the European Union " supported by a grant from the Scientific Grant Agency under no. 01/187/2022. The main goal of the mentioned project is the scientific investigation of the extraterritorial impact of administrative decisions of the member states of the European Union on the territory of other member states for the purpose of knowledge as well as the subsequent assessment of the need and extent of harmonization of the legislation of the member states of the European Union, perceiving the growing necessity of increasing the degree of free movement of administrative decisions in the conditions of the European of the Union. As part of the research project, an international scientific conference was held under the title "Administrative Law without Borders". At the conference, contributions were presented by members of the investigative team, who are also members of the Department of Constitutional Law and Administrative Law of the Faculty of Law of the University of Pavel Jozef Šafárik in Košice, as well as their colleagues from all over Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary. The main goal of the conference was the presentation and confrontation of knowledge in the field of cross-border effects of administrative acts (primarily in the conditions of the European Union), perceiving the increasingly increasing globalization of law, as a result of which it is no longer possible to perceive national law separately, but in mutual contexts with the legal systems of other states , or with the right of transnational, or international organizations, as well as obligations arising for individual states from concluded international agreements. Individual sections and blocks of the conference also corresponded to this goal, within which not only knowledge from positive-legal disciplines, but also knowledge of a theoretical-legal and historical-legal nature was heard.

The scientific monograph The H(andb)ook of Legal Feminism: The Concept, Nature, Features, Development and Forms of Legal Feminism presents for the first time the issue of legal feminism in Slovak jurisprudence in such a comprehensive way. Author analyzes legal feminism as a distinctive movement of legal philosophy and legal theory. He places legal feminism in the broader framework of general feminism. The internal ideological and developmental diversity of legal feminism brings the author´s examinations before the effort to systematize according to ideological and theoretical similarities or differences with emphasize to the development of feminism in different waves. In this regarding, author presents various forms of feminism and legal feminism, including their most important representatives. The increased view of the monograph deals with contemporary Anglo-American feminism since the end of the 1960s till the present, i.e., the period from which legal feminism emerged as a conceptual and critical movement of legal thinking. Author analyzes the critical view of legal feminism on law and current legal policy. He specifies abstract and basic theoretical features of the feminist jurisprudence. In this regard, the author pays attention to important concepts, categories, ideological assumptions, or methodological and methodological frame of feminist legal science. In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of the development of diverse forms of legal feminism the monograph also focuses on the normative side of feminist theory of law, which challenges the modern jurisprudence in elimination of gender and gender as legally relevant criteria.
