Challenging views prevalent among Western and Polish scholars, this
book explains Poland's surprising success in developing effective
environmental and occupational regulatory systems while achieving
remarkable socioeconomic growth, despite the toxic legacy of the
Communist era. It offers rich insights into the questions of how
one can achieve both economic growth and improved environmental and
safety protection, and of the extent to which regulatory systems
can be transferred across national and cultural boundaries. The
authors develop a theoretical framework for assessing regulatory
success, then use it to analyze Poland's recent experience.
Grounded in five case studies of recently privatized firms, the
analysis also presents a new survey of privately owned firms,
extensive policy and data analysis, and interviews with key policy
leaders, entrepreneurs, and intellectuals. The book points to
case-specific decision making and information richness as key
dimensions of an effective regulatory system and considers in depth
the extent to which information richness is culturally dependent,
and hence its portability as a policy tool. Addressing regulatory
issues that are specific to both the United States and the
international development community, the book makes a significant
contribution to advancing the theoretical and conceptual frameworks
used to explain the success, or lack of success, of regulatory
systems.
