The concept of post-politics, that dominated the contemporary public discourse, both from prac-
tical and theoretical approach, appears generally in two contexts, first related to the separation of power and politics (removal of the concept of the political from political discourse), second related to the process of moving away from the ideology (the end of ideology) in favour of 
a more pragmatic or/and consensual approach to politics or solving social conflict. The article focus in particular on the difference in between the post-politics and the political, within the context described by Carl Schmitt and Chantal Mouffe, both in refers to theoretical paradigm and practical politics, and its consequences from the point view of ‘cultural political economy’ (Bob Jessop, Ngai Ling Sum).

The article was written on the basis of literature review. It shows the activities of the OECD as a public policy actor whose activity leads to the increase of the quality of teaching processes. OECD did not solve, however, many problems resulting from the cultural diversity of countries at which it directs its activities. The OECD membership countries presented in the case study have been developed based on an analysis of the literature and materials of this organization.
 
The author emphasizes the significant role of the OECD as a public policy actor in improving the quality of teaching. At the same time, the author points out that systemic solutions do not work the same in all countries, whether developed or developing.

Urban development is undeniably connected with deciding about the direction of changes that take place in the urban space. Currently, the challenge for local decision-makers is to create an attractive urban space, free from negative phenomena among which one of the most disturbing is ghettoization. The aim of this article is to present the subject of the progressive ghettoization of the Polish cities’ space and try to stop this process by local authorities with the use of legislative tools, such as so-called landscape resolutions. It supplements the discourse over public policies carried out by public administration bodies in counteracting the negative effects of the appropriation of urban space. The article was based on the analysis of selected domestic and foreign literature as well as the analysis of the content of legal acts and their projects. It fits into the research gap, consisting in the lack of a synthetic approach to the issue of ghettoization, presenting the current state of work on solutions in this area in selected Polish cities.
