The paper on European welfare regimes and policies presents common and shared features of the social development of the post-communist countries that are members of the EU today. This will provide a basis for an attempt to assess if there is a single regime for those countries that distinguishes them from the three classical (and later four) regimes of the Esping-Anderson classification, or if there is an affinity to one of those models en bloc, or if there is similarity to one of the regimes, but in a different way for each of the new EU members. This attempt will be made primarily on the example of Poland, but with salient references to other countries in the group. The basis of the thoughts presented here is that of a project on Diversity and Commonality in European Social Policies: The Forging of a European Social Model (Golinowska, Hengstenberg, Żukowski 2009). Considerations and analysis done in the paper lead into conclusions that social policy development in the new member states is characterized by a one social model distinguishing them differently than according to the Esping-Andersen classification, in spite of a some differences in the outcome of the social policy being pursued. Similarities are mainly of an institutional character, resulting from both the similar past and the similar challenges connected with the systemic transformation towards the democratic system and market economy. In the future this specificity may fade and integration within the EU will cause a Europeanization of social policy of member states, but now this process is not sufficiently advanced.

The paper describes the cooperation between the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the new post-WWII European institutions – mainly Council of Europe (CoE) and European Economic Community (EEC) – in the field of social security. At the centre of interest are ILO Convention 102 (1952) and the ILO’s “Ohlin report” (1956) and how they have co-shaped the evolution of the “European Social Model” in the long run. In its second part, the paper nests these developments into the paradigm change, that took place in the 1970s, from Keynesian to neoliberal policies. While taking due account of ILO–EU divergence in social policy, which began in the 1960s, it describes in broad strokes the later impacts of the paradigm change on social policy formulation in the (new) “competition state”, in which welfare (“the ESM”) was no longer the goal but became a means to strengthen economic performance.

W tym artykule z wielodyscyplinarnego punktu widzenia poruszono kluczowe pytania, które określiły sposób, w jaki wpływ na Międzynarodową Organizację Pracy miał blok państw komunistycznych. Autorka uważa, że rola państw komunistycznych w MOP jest zależna nie tylko od międzynarodowego kontekstu politycznego, gospodarczego, społecznego, ale także od dziedziny (globalizującej) historii pracy i stosunków organizacji międzynarodowych. Punktem wyjścia tego artykułu jest centralna hipoteza, że koncepcja ochrony pracowników i praw „pracodawców” była zawsze prezentowana z punktu widzenia „bloku” państw kapitalistycznych, bez odniesienia do roli państw komunistycznych.

In this article, from a multidisciplinary point of view, key questions were raised that defined how the bloc of communist countries had an impact on the International Labor Organization. The author believes that the role of communist countries in the ILO depended not only on the international political, economic and social context of the time, but also on the field of globalized labor history and relations of international organizations. The starting point of this article is the central hypothesis that the concept of protecting employees and the rights of employers has always been presented from the point of view of the „bloc” of capitalist states, without reference to the role of communist states.
