The book ‘A Game on the Future of Public Services in Poland’, edited by Wiesława Kozek and published in 2011 by University of Warsaw Publishing House, comes exactly on time to deliver up-to-date comparative information about the public sector restructuring in Europe and its impact on the quality of the public services. The editor and the authors of nine chapters (Wiesława Kozek, Agnieszka Maciuk-Grochowska, Beata Radzka, Julia Kubisa, Damian Podawca, Piotr Ostrowski, Joerg Flecker, Christoph Hermann) draw from the results of three-year project PIQUE (Privatisation of Public Services and the Impact on Quality, Employment and Productivity), as well as research of the Sociology of Work and Organisation Unit of the Institute of Sociology, University of Warsaw. The PIQUE project was carried out in the years 2006–2009 and founded by the European Commission 6th Framework Programme. Based on the project’s results, the book cover four sectors, electricity, postal services, local public transport and health services/hospitals in six European countries (Austria, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Sweden and the UK). The sectors were chosen to reflect the diff erentiated levels of liberalisation and privatisation and the variety of regulatory solutions. Obviously, the main focus of the book is on Poland, but the authors pay particular attention to the international contextualisation of their sectoral and company cases.

Due to the central role multinational corporations (MNCs) in Central and Eastern Europe, there is a growing body of research which explores the speci! city of their employment relations from a comparative perspective. " e problems discussed in the literature include, among others, the di# usion of managerial and employment practices of MNCs in host countries, the scope of their adaptation to local employment standards, as well as the perspectives of the institutionalisation of transnational union solidarity and social dialogue. While the majority of the existing books and articles are based on the case study method exploring individual company cases in selected sectors, the combination of case studies with cross-sectoral quantitative surveys and institutional-legal analysis is rare. Even less research results is published in national languages other than English which constitutes a considerable barrier in the dissemination of knowledge to a wider audience of academics and practitioners at the national level. It is also exceptionally rare that the books are co-authored by both scientists and trade union experts (fragment of text).
