In the text, I presented a part of the results of the studies concerning the transition of the school youth from junior high school to high school. In the light of this results, I answered the question on how the students graduating from junior high schools in Poznań in 2015 perceived themselves as a person, especially in the role of a student. The image is generally positive, although it is varies among the students with different resources (e.g. grades, level of involvement).

The text is an analysis of the Polish premiere of Tony Kushner's drama Angels in America. The drama, staged in 1995 as Angels of America at the Wybrzeże Theatre in Gdańsk, directed by Wojciech Nowak, has not made it into the history of Polish political theatre. However, the testimonies of its reception today allow for a complex analysis of the entanglement of political theatre in the so-called political transition. With the help of the category of 'normality', I am trying to expose the meandering paths of emancipation in the Polish theatre of the 1990s - the time of transition.

The following contribution is a theoretical study focusing on the difficulties which young people are experiencing during a life period called emerging adulthood. We believe, emerging adulthood is a transitive and heterogeneous developmental stage. It is not universal for every young person and it is mostly typical in developed countries. Based on social changes, Arnett suggests that developmental tasks typical for adolescence are nowadays more suitable in emerging adulthood (20-30 years of age). Tasks, such as financial and housing independence, getting married, starting a family, and finding a dream job can put a lot of pressure on a young person, especially if he or she is not able to fulfill them. Robbins and Wilner state that this could create conditions for so called “quarterlife crisis”. Quarterlife crisis is considered to be a crisis of the identity and life goals. It is a stressful period of rethinking, which can lead to structural changes of personality and values. Social and psychological causes can many times result in anxiety, depression, feelings of inadequacy and failure. In addition, Robbins and Wilner indicate feelings of indecision, helplessness and panic. There are several problems in the research, which arise mainly from the difficulty of defining the main concept. Clear criteria for when it would be possible to indicate with certainty whether a particular person is experiencing the crisis or not, are missing. Therefore, we have not found methods, which could measure quarterlife crisis and the level of its experiencing. In previously published researches was this blank space replaced by the qualitative methodology, with the interviews aimed on acquiring basic characteristics and symptoms of the quarterlife crisis. In our opinion, the research could now be moved forward on this basis. The spectrum of symptoms obtained in previous research is the starting point for constructing a tool to detect the intensity of experienced difficulties, typical for the quarterlife crisis. Such instrument could be a time-saving alternative for the interviews. In our opinion, the way for constructing a new method could be focusing on aforementioned characteristics and symptoms, which are particular for this period of life. The new instrument could therefore be based on variables such as developmental tasks in the period of emerging adulthood and their (non)achievement, depressive symptomatology, anxiety, coping, self-esteem and overall subjective well-being. The topic of difficulties in emerging adulthood is a new issue that arouses interest. The fact that the quarterlife crisis is currently more popular than a scientific term is not considered as a disadvantage. Exactly this popularity of the concept suggests that the authors Robbins and Wilner noticed a new, previously unnamed, trend among young people. Relatively new research issue is despite the many problems and obstacles a potential area in which research findings can be helpful in coping with the transitive developmental stage of emerging adulthood and related difficulties.

In 1990 a successful economic development of East Germany after the unification was generally predicted. Nevertheless, the real economic development has been a big disappointment. Especially the East German labour market is one of the most problematic areas and since the unification has made hardly any progress. The unemployment rate is high; too many people are working in public sector and too little in the manufacturing industry. The wages and labour productivity are at 75 % of the West German value. The aim of the paper is to describe the East German labour market development and provide explanation of its long-term failure. The first chapter has an analytical character and shows the main indicators of East German labour market in two past decades. The second chapter refers to the circumstances of the arguable transition of East Germany. The third chapter discusses the concrete causes of labour market failure. The main cause is the long-term adverse relationship between labour productivity and real wages. This problem had already been created at the beginning of the transition.

Comparative research conducted in European countries in the last ten years has had a special focus on the processes of marketisation in education and on building relationships between the school and the labour market. This area also arouses the interest of education politicians by setting the direction of educational reforms. The nature of the connections between and the process of transition from school to the labour market is the subject of many comparative studies in the German-language literature (See Baethge, Solga&Wieck, 2007). On the example of Germany - a federal country with sixteen different education systems (Nowosad, 2013, p. 89) - learning solutions focused on strengthening cooperation between the school and the labour market creates the opportunity to show the multifaceted nature of this phenomenon. An analysis of German experiences may result in the adaptation of foreign pedagogical achievements on the ground of native activities, and the results obtained can be an impulse to remove barriers and irregularities in the functioning of analyzed reality.

The paper explores controlling developments in the particular environment of an economy involved in a transition process for almost two decades. The results presented in the paper were founded on the empirical analysis of the most successful Croatian companies, which were used as the sampling population. The presentation of controlling department existence in Croatian companies and the analysis of management perception of controlling importance were performed together with research on controlling information sources and users. All the information presented allowed us to make some conclusions about controlling development and to assess its future. Also, recent controlling developments were analyzed in the sample of Croatian SMEs to evaluate its implementation in this group of entities and to assess the factors of potential influence on its development level in a given enterprise, such as: size of the enterprise, management performance (ownermanagers or managers), intensity of accounting information use and relation to the business abroad.The results were evaluated considering the controlling evolution in developed economies. Thus, the controlling evolution was monitored in the Croatian corporate sector, from its "registering" stage, still dominant on the scene, to its "innovation" stage. In addition to the current findings, future perspectives on controlling development flows in Croatia were also assessed.

Research background: The relationship between financial development and economic growth has been attracting attention in the field of economics since the times of the "great moderation". Previous empirical studies still fail to put forward a general conclusion on whether and how financial development affects economic growth. This is particularly true due to the lack of empirical research on the matter in question for countries in transition. Purpose of the article: This study aims to contribute to bridging the gap in the financial development-growth nexus in transitional economies. Understanding the mechanism behind financial development and economic growth should assist policymakers in the design of efficient economic policies or avoiding/alleviating financial cycles. Methods: Using Granger causality test in frequency domain, which shows to have more power over standard time domain Granger causality test, as well as gross domestic product (GDP) and the monetary base (M2 - intermediate money), we investigated the finance-growth relationship in 19 Central, East, and Southeast European countries (CESEE) from 1991 to 2017. Findings & Value added: Study results show that financial development is important for growth in CESEE countries, thus supporting the "supply-leading" theories in general for countries in the sample. Our findings indicate that the relationship between financial development and economic growth exists in CESEE countries (with one exception - the Czech Republic) ranging from unidirectional (Albania, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Belarus, Estonia, Macedonia, Russia, Turkey), to bi-directional spectral Granger causality (Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Ukraine).

The authors set out to determine if the convergence theory passes the test in 25 transition economies. On the basis of statistical data for the years 1991-2004, using an econometric model, they analyze the influence of GDP per employee on the growth of labor productivity. They also consider other factors with an influence on sustainable economic growth. Considering the significant heterogeneity of the analyzed economies in terms of market reforms and institutional conditions, the authors divided the sample into three relatively homogenous groups: 10 new European Union member states excluding Cyprus and Malta; 12 CIS countries; and five Southern and Eastern European economies. The authors evaluated conditional convergence in individual groups of economies, concluding that economies with lower GDP per employee at the start of transition were characterized by a higher rate of growth for most of the analyzed period. GDP per employee primarily depended on investment in physical and human capital, the share of government spending in GDP and inflation. Moreover, the analysis showed that convergence processes in individual countries led to converging long-term economic growth rates, which were positive rather than neutral, contrary to the classic convergence theory.

This paper considers the complex relation between migrants’ interest in their host country and their consequent civic or social engagement in the framework of processes of transition following the rupture of international migration (cf. Zittoun 2006). In phases of transition, migrants live processes of identity definition, sense-making of the situation and learning new knowledge and social, cognitive and practical skills. I argue that learning may be considered a precondition for a migrant’s interest and engagement with the host country culture and institutions. In this connection, I use Eade’s (2007) notion of migration strategy to describe migrant profiles based on learning. My case is supported by a qualitative analysis of two paradigmatic case studies

This paper is one of the first studies dedicated to the extensive examination of the dynamics of key sectors in Poland in the period of transition. The research was based on the maximum entropy decomposition of the Leontief inverse applied to the highly-disaggregated input-output tables covering the period of 2000–2005. The results allow formulating the list of sectors, which, more or less, have preserved the status of the key sectors in Poland. In turn, some sectors (especially the financial-intermediation- and food-and-agriculture-related ones) have significantly derailed, while services-related sectors (including the transport, tourism, and trade services) have clearly gained in importance. These facts, together with rising importance of certain manufacturing sectors, may suggest that Poland has largely managed to avoid the most negative consequences of the process of de-industrialization, which has been taking place in CEE from the beginning of transition.

The paper is devoted to the subject of social trust and its relationship to social capital. It intends to answer the question to what extent and why the level of trust to unknown members of the society, being the principal element of the social capital, is different across European countries. The first part of the paper is devoted to the review of definitions linked to social capital, trust and trustworthiness. Among many definitions of social capital for the needs of this paper the following one, coming from [Robison et al. 2002, p.6] was adopted. “Social capital is a person’s or group’s sympathy toward another person or group, that may produce a potential benefit, advantage, and preferential treatment for another person or group of persons beyond that expected in an exchange relationship”. The essential importance of social trust for social capital was underlined. The different hypothetical factors potentially underpinning the level of social trust were indicated, among others: quality of institutions functioning in a given society, cultural norms and personal features of the individual citizens. To answer the question about the differentiation of trust and its underpinnings in European countries, the data coming from the European Social Survey for 2006 were used. In the beginning, on the basis of the features potentially correlated with social capital, the European countries were partitioned into three groups. The first group contained mostly Western European countries, the second – Scandinavian countries with very high social trust but without high preference for fairness, and the third one – Eastern (and partly Southern) European countries with very low trust and rather high preference for fairness. The level of social trust was the feature differentiating those groups in the strongest way. In the next step of the research, using the hypotheses formulated in the literature, the degree of correlation between social trust and its hypothetical underpinnings was analysed. This research revealed that the strongest underpinnings for the whole group of European countries stemmed from the assessment of political institutions and of the state of economy, and, next, from the assessment of respondent’s control of their life. The levels of those features were highly differentiated among the groups of countries previously distinguished. In particular, low assessment of political institutions and of the state of the economy and low optimism and of control on one’s life seem to contribute to low social trust in post-socialist countries.

The aim of this article is to analyse the impact of dual executive with the president elected by popular vote on the democratic transformation of post-communist countries of Europe and Eurasia. For this purpose following hypothesis was investigated: the system of government based on dual executive is a threat to democratization. Accepting that this process consists of three parallel transitions (political, economic and social), the author examined the impact of dual executive on the results of post-communist countries of Europe and Eurasia in two indexes: Revised Polity Score and Economic Freedom of the World. Thanks to this study some conclusions could be drawn pertaining to the impact of the system based on dual executive on the effects of the democratization of selected countries in political and economic areas. This allowed following question to be an-swered: is it a fact that a system of government based on dual executive with a president elected by popular vote is a threat to democratization?

The main objective of the present paper is to show and analyse major methodological challenges faced by the economic theory of the firm which, in turn, attempts to describe and explain transition processes in post-socialist economies. The economic theory of the firm is still faced by important challenges. The methodological weaknesses of the theory are the cause of significant cognitive limitations in the field of the transitional processes of enterprises from post-socialist economies. Overcoming these weaknesses is a condition for making progress in research on the system changes considered on a microeconomic scale in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.

This special section opens a two-part collection of articles, to be published in two consecutive issues of CEEMR in 2019, looking at various aspects of migration from and into CEE that address the links between mobility and political and economic transition in the region. Its goal is to discuss, on the one hand, the contribution of the migration research conducted in CEE to the broader migration literature and, on the other, to demonstrate region-specific topics. An important inspiration for the preparation of this issue is the 25th anniversary of the Centre of Migration Research (CMR) at the University of Warsaw; this is accompanied by some reflections on how migration studies have developed in Poland and other CEE countries during these years of transition. Since the very beginning, the idea that guided research conducted in the CMR was to analyse migration in a broad socio-economic context and to develop cooperation with the best international teams of migration scholars. Therefore, for this special collection, we invited contributions which demonstrate the development of scientific collaboration between CMR researchers and outstanding European and non-European scholars, as well as articles by international researchers from all over Europe which focus on specific migration topics intersecting with post-communist transition in the CEE region.

This article examines some of the main changes in food practices from the first half of 1990s shaped by the new political and economic environment. Based mainly on an analysis of press articles from this period, three main themes are identified in the discussion of alimentation: “hunger”, queues, and new configurations of commerce. This article suggests that these are entangled in a changing culture of shortages specific to the 1980s through an adaptation of older practices of consumption and commercialization of food, discursive tropes and moral judgments. In this way, a simultaneously prospective and retrospective orientation appears in which some of the ethos of the previous social order is used in new ways of making sense of the present. Food plays an important role in this orientation, its rationalization and precariousness specific to the 1980s being now replaced by new worries and uncertainties raised by the economic measures of “transition”.

In the shareholder theory of firms, the company's assets are the property of the shareholders, and managers are viewed as agents of the shareholders with all of the enforcement difficulties associated with agency relationships, but without legal obligations to any other stakeholder. An alternative view is the stakeholder theory of firms. The standard principal-agent paradigm can be expanded to the stakeholder agency problem. In this view, managers can be seen as the agents of all stakeholders. From the perspective of social responsibility, enlightened organizations view the internal and external environment as a variety of stakeholders.This paper offers some insights into the characteristics of the corporate governance system in Slovenia. Its focus is on the relationship between governance and management. The authors tried to determine in their research the roles of various groups of stakeholders in Slovenian companies. The paper's conclusions are based on a longitudinal research method. The paper is the result of three consecutive research studies on the characteristics of corporate governance in Slovenia over the period from 1998 to 2006. The paper compares the results from studies conducted in 1998 and 2002 with the latest results in 2006. The most important long-term strategic objective of Slovenian companies is growth. The share of Slovenian companies - excluding equity opportunity costs - has decreased significantly in the last six years due to the consolidation of ownership structures. The controlling owners are more active in setting the required rate of return on their equity investments. There is no conflict of interest between internal and external shareholders in most companies. Obviously, Slovenian companies have changed their strategic behaviour to reflect the interests of their stakeholders. It may be argued that some stakeholders, like customers and employees, are even more important for Slovenian managers than the owners.

How to Escape? The Trap of the Transition in the Recent Cinema of Bosnia and Herzegovina (2000-2012)The paper concerns the latest cinema of Bosnia and Herzegovina (2000-2012). Focusing on the cinema of social criticism (represented by movies which try to rethink the new socio-political order gradually emerging in BiH after the war of 1992-95), the authors recognize the Bosnian society as a community captured in the trap of an unfinished system transition. The story of the Bosnian society, simultaneously stuck in a dysfunctional and oppressive state and completely devoid of any prospects for the improvement of this situation, seems to be dominated by several escape strategies into an alternative reality: the nostalgic past, the imagined present or the utopian future. In that sense, the Bosnian cinema of social criticism turns out to be a cinema of social escapism. Jak uciec? Pułapka transformacji w najnowszym kinie Bośni i Hercegowiny (2000-2012)Tekst dotyczy najnowszej kinematografii Bośni i Hercegowiny (2000-2012). Skupienie na nurcie kina krytycznego (do którego zaliczone zostały filmy, które próbują interpretować nowy porządek społeczno-polityczny powoli wyłaniający się w Bośni i Hercegowinie po wojnie z lat 1992-95) pozwala ukazać społeczeństwo Bośni i Hercegowiny jako znajdujące się w pułapce wciąż niedokończonej transformacji systemowej. Opowieść o społeczeństwie z jednej strony uwięzionym w dysfunkcjonalnym i opresyjnym państwie, a z drugiej całkowicie pozbawionym perspektyw i nadziei na poprawę sytuacji, zdominowana jest przez rozmaite strategie ucieczki w alternatywną rzeczywistość: nostalgiczną przeszłość, wyobrażoną teraźniejszość lub utopijną przyszłość. W tym sensie, bośniackie kino krytyczne jawi się jako kino eskapizmu społecznego.

The Russian Cinema of the DissolutionThe paper takes the issue of Russian reckoning cinema after 1989. This current can be defined as comprising the films which try to lay the foundations of a new narrative about the Soviet Union (alternative to the dominant narrative). The authors reflect on the specificity of the filmmakers’ critical attitude towards the previous system. The story of the break-up of the Soviet Union turns to be a story of the great catastrophe – the tragedy of the whole society, abandoned by hypocritical intelligentsia and deceived by political elites. Rosyjskie kino rozpaduTekst podejmuje problematykę rosyjskiego kina rozliczeniowego po 1989 roku – słabo widocznego nurtu próbującego stworzyć zręby nowej narracji o Związku Radzieckim, która mogłaby stanowić alternatywę wobec narracji dominującej. Stanowi próbę namysłu nad specyfiką krytyki poprzedniego systemu przeprowadzaną przez twórców tego nurtu. Opowieść o rozpadzie Związku Radzieckiego okazuje się tu opowieścią o wielkiej katastrofie – tragedii całego społeczeństwa, opuszczonego przez obłudną inteligencję i oszukanego przez elity polityczne.
