The Polish Economy
In 1989, Poland became the first Eastern Bloc country to shake off the dominance of its ruling Communist party. Although other post-Communist countries have since followed suit, Poland's experience has been unique in its move to Westernize. In this timely and insightful account, Ben Slay provides the first integrated, comprehensive assessment of Poland's economic transformation from central planning to a market system, and the political and sociological factors that have contributed to it. Drawing on the work of Western and Polish scholars as well as his own research, Slay traces the evolution of the Polish transformation from its historical roots in People's Poland and predicts potential pr...

Poland's Holocaust
With the end of World War I, a new Republic of Poland emerged on the maps of Europe, made up of some of the territory from the first Polish Republic, including Wolyn and Wilno, and significant parts of Belarus, Upper Silesia, Eastern Galicia, and East Prussia. The resulting conglomeration of ethnic groups left many substantial minorities wanting independence. The approach of World War II provided the minorities' leaders a new opportunity in their nationalist movements, and many sided with one or the other of Poland's two enemies--the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany--in hopes of achieving their goals at the expense of Poland and its people. Based on primary and secondary sources in numerous languages (including Polish, German, Ukrainian, Belorussian, Russian and English), this work examines the roles of the ethnic minorities in the collapse of the Republic and in the atrocities that occurred under the occupying troops. The Polish government's response to mounting ethnic tensions in the prewar era and its conduct of the war effort are also examined.

A Concise History of Poland
Poland is a tenacious survivor-state: it was wiped off the map in 1795, resurrected after the First World War, apparently annihilated again in the Second World War, and reduced to satellite status of the Soviet Union after 1945. Yet it emerged in the vanguard of resistance to the USSR in the 1980s, albeit as a much more homogeneous entity than it had been in its multi-ethnic past. This book outlines Poland's turbulent and complex history, from its medieval Christian origins to the reassertion of that Christian and European heritage after forty-five years of communism. It describes Poland's transformation since 1989, and explains how Poland navigated its way into a new Commonwealth of Nations in the European Union. Recent years have witnessed significant changes within Poland, Eastern Europe and the wider world. This new edition reflects on these changes, and examines the current issues facing a Poland which some would accuse of being out of touch with 'European values'.
Polityka regulacji zatrudnienia w Polsce
Monografia Karola Muszyńskiego jest publikacją bardzo cenną. Zwrócę uwagę na jej główne walory: zawiera szczegółowe omówienie procesów społeczno-gospodarczych, przytacza kluczowe statystyki oraz daje wielostronną wiedzę encyklopedyczną o stosunkach pracy po 2008 roku. […] Zamiarem Autora było przyjęcie perspektywy nowego instytucjonalizmu z zakresu socjologii prawa i socjologii ekonomicznej oraz doktryny prawa pracy, a także zastosowanie tego wielowymiarowego aparatu do analizy przemian w regulacjach dotyczących głównie rynku pracy. Autor nie ograniczył się do stosowania narzędzi zastanych, lecz opracował własny schemat teoretyczny, a ponadto rozszerzył treść pojęć funkcjonujących w literaturze przedmiotu. […] W tym względzie Karola Muszyńskiego charakteryzuje śmiałość w konstruowaniu własnej perspektywy, czy może nawet własnego paradygmatu. z recenzji prof. dr. hab. Juliusza Gardawskiego
