The politics of Bulgaria's uneven energy transition
Despite steady RES uptake, Bulgaria has failed to decommission its coal-based electricity-generating facilities. Why are the country's mines and coal-fired power plants still in operation, contrary to market logic and the EU's climate policy goals? This paper accounts for the uneven progress of energy transition in Bulgaria by examining its domestic political dynamics. It accordingly builds on the recent political economy of environmental reform …
Weak Labour, Strong Interests
This paper examines the motives behind the EU‐level activism of CEE trade unions, which are commonly regarded as weak actors. To this end, it studies lobbying and protest actions staged by Polish labour organizations in relation to proposals for the EU Emission Trading Scheme Directive and the EU Services Directive.

It argues that the two countries’ governments staged tripartite negotiations in hard times to…
Employee welfare and restructuring in the public sector
Labour in Central-Eastern Europe is widely regarded as a uniformly weak actor. We challenge this view, and explore the conditions under which CEE labour can play an active role in the welfare reform process. We draw on evidence from education and health care in Poland and Serbia, and show that public sector unions have largely retained their ability to prevent major restructuring and to defend employment-related privileges of their constituencies…
