The main objective of this article is to analyze the effects of transformation of the IMF working model, launched in 2006, accelerated since 2010, and identified as the most fundamental governance overhaul in the Fund's 65-year history and the biggest ever shift of influence in favor of emerging market and developing countries to recognize their growing role in the global economy. This article, set within the institutional framework of global governance and critical international political economy, attempts to clarify whether the IMF reform focused on modifying the size of member countries' participation in the share capital of the Fund, resulted in significant increase of voting power of emerging markets and developing states or rather was example of global economic governance dysfunctionality. ; W niniejszym artykule głównym celem będzie analiza efektów przekształceń modelu funkcjonowania MFW, zapoczątkowanych w 2006 r. w Singapurze, realizowanych w głównej mierze od 2010 roku i określanych jako najbardziej fundamentalna reorganizacja zarządzania w 65-letniej historii MFW i największe dotychczasowe przesunięcie wpływów na korzyść rynków wschodzących i państw rozwijających się. Artykuł ten, usytuowany w ramach instytucjonalnego nurtu badań nad globalnym zarządzaniem i wykorzystujący podejście badawcze, które określa się mianem krytycznej międzynarodowej ekonomii politycznej, będzie stanowił próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie czy reforma, polegająca na modyfikacji wielkości partycypacji poszczególnych państw w kapitale zakładowym Funduszu, czyli udziału w tzw. kwocie i wynikających z jej wielkości liczby głosów przypadających na państwa członkowskie, była nią w istocie, czy raczej stanowiła przykład dysfunkcjonalności global economic governance.

The article aims to empirically indicate the share and industry characteristics of the largest state-owned enterprises in five selected countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Furthermore, based on the analysis, an attempt is made to answer relevant research questions: Whether and to what extent after almost 30 years of transition have the economies of the analysed countries become similar to the economies of selected developed countries of Western Europe with regard to the scope of state ownership in the economy? If so, to what extend? Could the economies of the analysed countries be seen as an occurrence of growing importance of state-owned enterprises after the financial crisis of 2008–2009, referred to in the literature as the "return of state-owned enterprises"? The analysis of the scope of state ownership in the economy was made using the processed and completed source data contained in the Orbis database. The study consists of three parts. The first part presents methodological assumptions of the analysis, definitions, description of data sources and basic characteristics of the studied set of enterprises. The second part contains data on state-owned enterprises in the analysed countries, divided into the state-owned and statecontrolled with a minority shareholding also includes industry-specific analysis. The third part contains synthetic international comparisons and a retrospective analysis, including the status and characteristics of state-owned enterprises in the surveyed countries in 2009, 2013 and 2017. The conclusions contained in the summary indicate a significant diversification of the scope and importance of state enterprises in the economies of the analysed countries.

Th e aim of this study was to analyse the rules of the foreign exchange reserves management in Poland and its legal basis. Having international currencies and/or easy access to them determine now a day the external solvency, credibility and stability of economies, and that's why the emerging market economies accumulate foreign exchange reserves in order to become more attractive for investors and creditors. Constitutional guaranteed central bank independence gives fully autonomy in defi ning of strategy and conducting of foreign exchange reserves policy based on internal regulations of the National Bank of Poland's decision-making bodies. Th ese legal solutions in Poland are consistent with international standards and trends in the way of risk management in foreign exchange reserves investment. Security and liquidity remains a priority. Current structure of National Bank of Poland international reserves refl ects these rules. Th ey are invested in the most reliable instruments denominated in the main international currencies.

artykuł jest polską wersją językową publikacji: The analysis of the amount and structure of foreign exchange reserves in Poland in the years 1998-2014 (Law and Administration in Post-Soviet Europe. Volume 2, Issue 1, Pages 34-41, ISSN (Online) 2391-5544, DOI:10.1515/lape-2015-0004, August 2015 ; Celem niniejszego opracowania jest analiza wielkości i struktury rezerw dewizowych w Polsce w latach 1998–2014. Rezerwy dewizowe stanowią zabezpieczenie finansowe kraju rozwijającego się, dlatego strategie zarządzania nimi zakładają zazwyczaj inwestowanie ich w sposób niezwykle bezpieczny i płynny. W te standardy wpisuje się także i polska struktura rezerw dewizowych. Zostały one zainwestowane w głównej mierze w papiery dłużne najbardziej wiarygodnych rządów i instytucji międzynarodowych, denominowane w głównych walutach międzynarodowych, i taka struktura utrzymuje się od lat. ; The aim of the study is to analyze the amount and structure of foreign exchange reserves in Poland in the years 1998-2014. The international reserves determine the emerging economies' financial security and that is why foreign exchange reserves management strategies assume that they are invested with priority given to liquidity and security. These principles are also binding in the Foreign Exchange Reserves Management in Poland. Most of international reserves are invested in debt securities of the most credible economies and international institutions, and they are denominated in the main international currencies. This structure has been maintained in Poland for many years.

In the process of globalization of national economies, multinational
enterprises are now playing an increasingly important role. Along with the
growth of the importance of these enterprises, the structure of foreign directinvestment (FDI) is also evolving. So far, the majority of FDI was located in highly developed countries, and these investments were made in human capital intensive industries, the majority of which belonged to the services sector. In recent decades, there has been an increase in FDI inflows to developing and transforming countries. It is related to the liberalization and internationalization of their economies, as well as a significant decrease in transport costs and the costs of doing business across national borders. Over the last three decades, Poland also recorded a significant inflow of FDI, becoming one of important recipients of foreign capital among the new EU Member States (EU). The main purpose of this article is to analyze the last three decades of development of companies with foreign capital in Poland. This paper
presents a descriptive analysis of FDI trends in Poland, including the number and size of companies with foreign capital, the source of this capital according to the investor's country of origin, as well as the sectoral and industry structure of FDI in Poland. The results of this analysis allow, among other things, to identify key regularities related to the FDI made in Poland before and after the EU accession, as well as their reference to new theories of a multinational enterprise.

The contemporary economic security of states depends more and more heavily on technological factors. The paper provides a comparative study covering the trade of the Visegrád Group with a primary purpose to explore directions of technological change, revealed in the structure of their exports, their likely causes, and consequences. The research problem was positioned in an interdisciplinary methodological perspective, merging critical security studies, international political economy, international economics, and new public governance. The obtained results prove characteristics of V4 economies typical of dependent capitalism and confirm the structural challenge of foreign technological guidance.

Some phenomena associated with ageing populations are transition of economies to focus more on the production and distribution of goods and services for older adults as well as for younger age groups as part of their preparation for old age. The paper presents the main features of the concept of "silver economy" in the context of active ageing policies. The study presents a typology of the silver economy models in the European Union at national and regional levels based on the use of the Active Ageing Index in comparison to the typology of differences and cultures of capitalism as well as the typology of welfare states. The summary contains conclusions for practical interventions and proposals for further research.

Institutionalization of relations with Sub-Saharan Africa states is one of approaches used to include those states in main currents of world economy. The African states will benefit because new markets for their exports will open which will increase the speed of reform of their political systems and economies. EU will benefi t because better overall situation of the African states will help in development of stable multilateral relations. In this paper I analyze the EU – Sub-Saharan states relations as an example of institutionalization understood as development of legal and institutional solutions that shape international relations. In this context institutionalization is an instrument that enhances systematic change which in turn leads to transformation of particular states and regions. In the paper I try to answer the question: is the declared level of integration of different instruments of EU foreign policy identical with the reality vis-a-vis the states of Africa.

The aim of the study is to indicate structural mechanisms of revitalization of urban residential and settlement housing in post-war developed market economies and in Poland after 1989. In an attempt to achieve this goal, a retrospective approach was applied. A rather one-sided sharpening of the shortcomings of the revitalization presented in the paper by submitting them to structural mechanical dependencies served to suggest deeper sources of sufficiently ambiguous results in this field related to the paradigm of market economic growth. In this way, the necessity was indicated to counteract this approach towards the realization of the paradigm of sustainable development as an indispensable condition for satisfying achievements in the field of revitalization of fragments of space inhabited as an important factor of balancing the development of the inhabited space. Against this background, significant opportunities exist for revitalizing activities, giving the chances of running beyond the mechanical rhythm of market waves, in older housing estates with inherited solid functional and spatial composition.
