This paper analyzes the impact of social dialogue on the restructuring process in the Polish steel industry, using the history of restructuring in the same sector in the United Kingdom as a frame of reference. Despite steep declines in employment, due to technological, organisational, and ownership changes in the sector, restructuring in Poland did not encounter particularly strong resistance on the part of organised labour, in contrast to the powerful union response seen in the UK. The difference is attributed to the presence of active social dialogue at the sectoral level in Poland and the absence of such dialogue in the UK.

In this paper, we conduct a comparative analysis of the models of capitalism prevailing in the CEE11 countries. Our overriding aim is to find out how similar or dissimilar are these countries to each of the four models of European capitalism singled out by Amable. We compare 11 sample countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia) with their peers representing the Anglo-Saxon model (UK), the Continental European model (Germany), Scandinavian model (Sweden), and Mediterranean model (Italy or Spain). Our comparison focuses on six institutional areas: product market competition, labor market and industrial relations, financial system, social protection, knowledge sector, and the housing market, thus extending the original approach adopted by Amable (adding the housing market). We apply our own original methodology based on hexagons. We compare each of the six domains in the CEE11 countries with the reference Western economies using six indicators that best identify the institutional characteristics of a given domain (three indicators represent input variables or the institutional architecture, and three others - output variables or performance of an institutional area). We calculate the ranks of similarity of each indicator for a CEE country to the same indicator for the reference economies. The results of our study show that the CEE11 countries overall (and Poland in particular) exhibit the greatest resemblance to the Mediterranean model of capitalism, while they are the most dissimilar to the Scandinavian model. However, their similarity to the Mediterranean model is strongly determined by output variables or economic performance - in terms of institutional architecture or input variables alone the CEE11 countries are most akin to the Continental European model of capitalism.

W niniejszym artykule przedstawiamy wyniki badania, którego celem było wzbogacenie obrazu empirycznego i lepsze zrozumienie natury kapitalizmu powstającego w Polsce i innych nowych krajach członkowskich Unii Europejskiej z Europy Środkowo- -Wschodniej (EŚW11). Naszym głównym zamierzeniem badawczym jest ocena stopnia podobieństwa (lub jego braku) Polski i pozostałych krajów EŚW11 do każdego z czterech modeli kapitalizmu w Europie Zachodniej wyróżnionych przez Amable’a [2003]. Każdy z tych modeli jest reprezentowany przez jeden „idealno-typowy” kraj zachodnioeuropejski. Na poziomie średnich dla całej badanej grupy kraje EŚW11 wykazują największe podobieństwo do śródziemnomorskiego modelu kapitalizmu, reprezentowanego przez Hiszpanię/Włochy. Równocześnie, kraje EŚW11 wykazują także dość dużą bliskość instytucjonalną do kontynentalnego modelu kapitalizmu, reprezentowanego przez Niemcy.
