Changing the healthcare financing paradigm: Domestic actors and international organizations in the agenda setting for diffusion of social health insurance in post‐communist Central and Eastern Europe
This study elucidates the role of international organizations and domestic actors in post‐communist healthcare reforms aiming at a paradigmatic shift in healthcare financing and the introduction of social health insurance in Albania, Latvia and Poland. It inductively derives a causal mechanism behind the reform processes from these case studies. We demonstrate that the agenda setting for changing the healthcare financing paradigm was domestically…
Persistence and Change in Morality Policy: The Role of the Catholic Church in the Politics of Abortion in Ireland and Poland
On the issue of abortion, Ireland and Poland have been among the most conservative countries in Europe. Their legal and cultural approaches to this issue have been deeply influenced by the institution of the Catholic Church and its purported role as a defender of an authentic national identity. However, their political climates for abortion reform are increasingly divergent: Ireland has liberalised its abortion law substantially since 2018, while…
Universal or commodified healthcare? Linking out-of-pocket payments to income-related inequalities in unmet health needs in Europe
This study investigates the outcomes out-of-pocket payments (OOPP) produce in terms of income-related disparities in unmet health needs (UHN) due to inability to pay and highlights the commodifying effect of OOPP in European healthcare systems. It merges micro data from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions survey (EU-SILC) for 2005–2012, with macro data from the World Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Devel…
The Missing Dimension: A Comparative Analysis of Healthcare Governance in Central and Eastern Europe
Post-1989 healthcare in Central and Eastern Europe countries (CEEC) is often classified as Bismarckian following the adoption of social health insurance (SHI). The article provides evidence that in CEEC healthcare regulation is state-dominated, with a weak role of corporate partners, which differs from Western European SHI countries where corporatist arrangements underlie healthcare regulation. The weakness of corporatist arrangements in CEEC is …

Bonding Social Capital in a Postcommunist Region
Social capital is acknowledged as an important factor in local economies. However, depending on their specific characteristics, social capital resources may have both positive and negative effects on socioeconomic development: The outcomes are related to whether the local contexts are endowed with bonding or bridging social capital. This article investigates the impact of the bonding social capital present in a local production system in the Poli…
Local economic governance in hard times: The shadow economy and the textile and clothing industries around Lodz and Naples
Areas of industrial decline, with poor quality local government and poor infrastructure, frequently find a kind of economic success through the shadow economy. But illegality imposes constraints on the kind of success that can be achieved. The study of such areas in central Poland and southern Italy reveals considerable similarities, despite the fact that the former was part of the former state socialist bloc, the latter not. In both regions, sma…
