This paper examines the three models of democracy delineated in the RECON project and subjects them to a feminist appraisal. It begins with some general remarks about what each model of democracy - nation-state audit (model 1), federal multinational (model 2) and regional cosmopolitan (model 3) - holds for a feminist conception of politics. It then puts these general propositions to the test in a range of empirical studies (Spain, Poland, Hungary, EU). The country studies reveal the persistence of the audit democracy model, despite the diverging responses to implementing EUgenerated equality laws. The process also shows the gender-specific weaknesses of the democratic decision-making process in these member states. The EU-level investigation was also found to follow the model of audit democracy, but with some features corresponding to those found in a multinational federal state. However, the empirical conclusion on this point is that much profound institutional change needs to take place before the EU can respond as a multinational federal entity to women's equality claims. In part three the paper takes a normative feminist turn. It points out that feminist theorists have ambitions for equality that extend beyond the regulative nation-state, seeing advantages in elements of the federal multinational democracy and the regional cosmopolitan one. In the final section, the paper discusses how the deliberative conception of democracy underpinning the RECON analytical approach is received from a feminist point of view. Here, the paper highlights the necessity of taking seriously the principles of congruence and accountability, each requiring the redistribution of socio-economic goods within and across borders. Gender justice, then, can be realised through models 2 and 3. Feminist political theory also highlights the societal role of care as a matter of gender justice. The paper concludes that care should be integrated into democratic thinking, and concludes that RECON standard of deliberative democracy is not hostile, but silent, on this matter.

Drawing on the classical distinction between community (Gemeinschaft) and society (Gesellschaft) by Tönnies (1963) and the related analytical distinction between strong and weak forms of collective identities, this paper analyses European identity constructions in 'future-of-Europe'-debates on war and military interventions in German, British and Polish mass media between 1990-2006. Based on a discourse analytical framework the empirical analysis scrutinises the ways in which the European Union (EU) is represented as a distinct political space. The paper illustrates that discursive constructions of the EU as a cooperative enterprise - a political entity mainly constituted by the self-interest of its members - and as a community with a shared ethical self-understanding occur almost equally frequent in all of the three analysed public debates. Yet, there are considerable national differences with respect to the exact arguments that are employed to construct these two larger discursive dimensions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Poland's new Employee Capital Plans (PPK) scheme, which is mandatory for employers, started to be implemented in July 2019. The article looks at the systemic solutions applied in the programme from the perspective of the concept of the simultaneous reconstruction of the retirement pension system. The aim is to present arguments for and against the project from the point of view of various actors, and to assess the chances of success for the new system. The article offers a detailed study of legal solutions, an analysis of the literature on the subject, and reports of institutions that supervise pension funds. The results of this analysis point to the lack of cohesion between certain solutions of the 1999 pension reform and expose a lack of consistency in how the reform was carried out, which led to the eventual removal of the capital part of the pension system. The study shows that additional saving for old age is advisable in the country's current demographic situation and necessary for both economic and social reasons. However, the systemic solutions offered by the government appear to be chiefly designated to serve short-term state interests and do not create sufficient incentives for pension plan participants to join the programme.

This paper presents an analysis of the causes and manifestations of Poland's recent shift in economic policy towards a more active role of the state, and uses privatization policy as an example. This change coincided with a shift in "fashion" in economic policy, away from the idea of "state failure" and more towards the idea of "market failure." Our paper begins with a brief presentation of the recent changes in the theoretical approach towards the role of the state in the market economy and of studies devoted to privatization policies in post--communist countries, the latter having, in our view, critical gaps, which we attempt to fill in this paper. To meet this goal, we first discuss the Poland's privatization policy and its place in economic policy during the transition period, as well as its evolution from promoting systemic change towards focusing on predominantly fiscal goals. Analyzing the effects of this privatization policy, we point to a large unfinished agenda in ownership transformation that has had an adverse impact on the institutional setup of the Polish state, creating grounds for rent seeking and cronyism, which, in turn, impede the pace of privatization. We conclude that it is the increasing capture of the state by rent-seeking groups, and not, contrary to popular opinion, the global financial crisis, that most contributes to the growing statist trends of Poland's economic policy.

The authors analyze bubbles in hyperinflation data from Austria, Poland, Germany, and Hungary. They utilize the Monte Carlo method and perform tests to detect occasional collapsing bubbles that have disputed existing tests. Results show evidence of model misspecification for Austria, while Polish data indicate an explosive bubble component. Germany and Hungary are characterized by varying across specification of the money demand problems and the information sets used in the tests.

Our study concerns the effects of Polish privatisation program conducted in the years 2008-2011. After drawing a broad picture of this process we investigate the performance of 59 privatised companies, and finally focus on a deeper analysis of three companies, which is the core part of our study. We test the hypotheses that privatisation increases a company's profitability, labour productivity, capital investment spending, plow-back ratio and leverage. In case studies, we additionally explore the effect of privatization on each company's value. The outcomes concerning the larger group of companies are partly ambiguous (with four hypotheses confirmed and four rejected). Profitability has been not visibly improved, although a number of positive initiatives and improvements in performance occurred. By contrast, the three case studies showed a significant improvement of profitability and all other performance indicators observed, as well as a considerable increase of company value. Our results show that privatisation works, though its full effects need time to occur. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
