In this short essay the author sets out to demonstrate the relevance of the sociological perspective in examining the role of legal professions and shed light on the somewhat neglected field of legal sociology. In this regard there are valuable historical analogies to draw on, but the new democracies of Central Europe also constitute a rich field of research for exploring this role. Given that constitutional institutions in this region still suffer from a poor level of legitimacy and the effects of a pre-democratic cultural background, the impact that professional legal actors, as active agents, have on the rule of law and democracy can be of exceptional significance. In newly established legal traditions, lawmakers become the architects of the emerging democracy. In some cases, however, this historical role is encumbered by an etatist, pre-democratic value system, which is the legacy of forty years of state socialism.
Modular combat set (MBK) is a set of components to support small combat units (usually squads and platoons). Except of small arms or support weapons and STANO devices, the set includes a ''smart'' part of ISTAR architecture components. MBK ISTAR sets shall support situational awareness of lower-level commanders and co-ordination of small units with fire support as well as expand capabilities of reconnaissance and military intelligence, particularly of small unmanned aerial vehicles. MBK ISTAR architecture is based on effective and system use of electromagnetic spectrum in order to achieve sensory and information dominance over the assigned area. and Modulární bojový komplet (MBK) je sestava komponent pro podporu malých bojových jednotek (typicky družstev a čet). Mimo ruční či podpůrné palné zbraně a prostředky STANO, zahrnuje i ''chytrou'' část, tvořenou komponenty architektury ISTAR. Komplety MBK ISTAR mají podpořit situační vědomí nižších velitelů, součinnost malých jednotek s palebnou podporou a rozšířit možnosti průzkumu či využití vojskového zpravodajství, zejména malých bezpilotních prostředků. Architektura MBK ISTAR je založena na efektivním a systémovém využití elektromagnetického spektra s cílem dosáhnout senzorické a informační dominance nad svěřenou oblastí.
