This paper has the following objectives. First, to trace the evolution of the institutions of industrial democracy in Poland. Initially, they were completely subordinated to the authorities (the Leninist model). They then made adjustments to the industrial decision-making system. In the 1980s they would substitute the institutions of political democracy, thus becoming the main internal factor contributing to the decomposition of the party state. After 1989, those anti-system institutions became an important building block of the post-Communist order, and a post-Solidarity one between 2005-2007 and from 2015The global experience in this respect is different.

This paper is based on the concept of environmental political philosophy and from its perspective, it highlights the weaknesses and contradictions of contemporary, existing democracies. It aims to formulate an outline of the concept of environmental democracy, following the accounts of M. Bookchin, R. Morrison and H. Skolimowski, as well as international environmental law enshrined in United Nations documents and resolutions. It is based on the hypothesis that the preservation of a democratic political system in a situation of a collapsing planetary system (the Anthropocene) requires improving the foundations of democratic theory with the insights of the Earth system sciences, particularly of political ecology and critical environmentalism. Through philosophical analysis, explanation and interpretation, this paper explores an environmental democracy that would, on the one hand, preserve the basic constitutional principles of current democratic constitutional regimes, and, on the other hand, reconcile them with the current state of understanding in the Earth sciences concerning the vulnerability of the planetary system. In a sense, J. Habermas’s understanding of human rights characterizes the concept of environmental democracy as a realistic utopia. The author concludes by drawing up the imperative of sustainability, which he sees as a guiding organizing principle of institutions and public policies for the climatic, demographic and economic regime of the Anthropocene.

W artykule omówione są początki i rozwój współuczestnictwa pracowników w legislacji Unii Europejskiej i implementacja tej legislacji do polskiego systemu prawnego. Idea uczestnictwa pracowników jest głęboko zakorzeniona w myśli społecznej Kościoła katolickiego, a dzisiaj podkreślona jest w Magisterium Kościoła. Poprzez prawo współuczestnictwa pracownicy lub ich reprezentanci mogą mieć wpływ na decyzje związane ze wszelkimi kluczowymi aspektami działania spółki. Prawna gwarancja współuczestnictwa pracowników w podejmowaniu decyzji ma pozytywny wpływ ekonomiczny skutkujący zwiększoną konkurencyjnością.
