Poland maintained its open-list PR system but introduced gender quotas in the 2011 parliamentary elections in order to increase the number of women deputies. Yet this change had only a limited impact on women’s representation. The 2011 election confirms that ‘favorable’ electoral laws provide opportunities for women, but they cannot guarantee that women will be elected. In particular, the use of quotas alone is not sufficient to ensure high level…
Electoral-system change in Latvia and the elections of 2010
Latvia’s highly distinctive proportional electoral system owes its origins to Latvia’s 1922 Constitution and the new democracy’s electoral legislation of 1919 and 1922. Latvia’s unique feature lies in its preference system, offering the voters the opportunity to judge each candidate on their party’s list. Although the system appears to maximise responsiveness to voters’ preferences, in practice this promise remained unfulfilled and the representa…
Rights Transmission by Mimesis
All new postcommunist members of the European Union signed the Council of Europe's Biomedicine Convention, and all but one subsequently ratified it. Although some studies have shown strong mimetic tendencies in human rights transmission, the controversial nature of the Convention suggested that in this instance the process of rights transfer would entail serious substantive consideration of the multifarious issues raised. Left-wing parties would …
Poland
The development of political parties in Poland failed to match expectations that parties would stabilize and give rise to predictable patterns of interaction in a cohesive party system. Although the number of electoral and parliamentary parties fell, parties failed to cohere, with elite defections providing the main impetus for party collapse and new‐party emergence. High levels of electoral volatility meant dramatic shifts in the relative streng…
Executive–Legislative Relations in Poland, 1991–2005
This paper relates factors previously identified as significant for parliamentary governance to general developments in post-communist CEE and proceeds to assess their relevance to the development of executive–legislative relations in Poland. The Sejm was institutionally strong, while governments were inexperienced, internally divided, and unstable. Governments could not assume the support of their parliamentary parties. Tensions with coalition p…

The 2005 parliamentary and presidential elections in Poland
Poland's politics and the travails of transition after 2001
As previously, the 2005 election in Poland saw the defeat of the incumbent government, but unlike previous elections, it marked the end of the Solidarity – successor party divide that had characterised Polish politics since 1989. The near simultaneity of parliamentary and presidential election campaigns made the campaigns indistinguishable, and each interacted with the other. Party programmes were similar; transition-related issues dominated the …

Elections in Poland 2001
The Polish parliamentary elections of 2001 took place in a context of fresh upheavals in the configuration of political parties. The architects of the new electoral law aimed to reduce the seats gained by the social democrats and increase their own. They succeeded in the first aim by a change of electoral formula, forcing the victorious social democratic electoral coalition to seek a third coalition partner. They did not achieve the second aim, a…

The presidential election in Poland, October 2000
Presidents and democratization in Poland
Comparative studies of post‐communist presidencies have focused mainly on the formal powers of presidencies. Such studies should be complemented by empirical studies of how presidents actually use these powers, especially as the role of personality appears very strong in the early stages of institution‐building. In Poland president and former Solidarity leader Lech Wałesa lacked appreciation of the need for political bargaining and compromise and…

Democratization and the Media in Poland 1989–97
Poland constitutes a ‘best case’ example of post‐communist media development. The emergence of a diverse media free of direct political interference can be analysed as both a cause and a characteristic of the democratization process. Although the media reflected and contributed to political turbulence, they performed significant functions of informing, investigating and agenda‐setting. The diversity of the print media ensured pluralism of viewpoi…
Environmental policy in Poland
Environmental policy in Poland after 1989 remains largely state centred and technocratic. The green movement is extensive but fragmented and divided and political parties have given little attention to environmental issues, while public concerns have shifted to the fundamental economic issues of daily life. Yet achievements have been substantial, albeit only partly as a result of government policy: industrial recession and restructuring have had …
The Influence of the Catholic Hierarchy in Poland, 1989-96
The Catholic Church in Poland was a major social and political force in communist Poland and it mobilized its diverse resources to achieve significant policy victories in the period of Solidarity governments after 1989. The social welfare activities of Catholic organ izations increased. Thus it looked for a time as though the new social welfare regime would be a type of Catholic corporatism. However, the Church hierarchy did not adapt effectively…

The Polish parliamentary election of September, 1993
The outcome of the Polish election of September, 1993, represented victory for the successor parties of the old regime and defeat for Solidarity's heirs, for the Polish right, and for President Wałȩsa. Major explanatory factors include the electoral system, deliberately designed to prevent the parliamentary fragmentation of 1991–1993, and the particular nature of political parties in the early period of post-communist politics. The large vote for…

The polish parliamentary elections of October 1991
THE ORGANISATION OF free, competitive elections in Eastern Europe has generally proved relatively easy. Their contribution to the development of parliamentary democracy has been rather more problematic in the absence of a coherent sociopolitical infrastructure: notable for their absence are strong, well organised political parties, firm cultural norms of political participation and tolerance, and experienced alternative elites embracing a public …
Environmental politics in Eastern Europe
The environmental problems of Eastern Europe are particularly severe, even allowing for difficulties of perspective. The communist past must bear a good share of blame for this, although geographical factors also play a part. The environmental issue was prominent before 1989 in dissenting movements which benefited from its mobilising potential. Early elections after 1989 brought from poor to calamitous results to green parties. There were a numbe…
