Institution of the Economic Self-Government in the Polish Law in the Light of the Solutions Adopted in the European Countries

Abstract

As the result of complex historical events, two models of economic self-government were developed in the second half of the 19th century in Europe and Great Britain, i.e. the continental model and the Anglo-Saxon model. In Poland after 1918, the debate occurred about the model of economic self-government. Legislation on economic self-government which is now in force does not allow to recognize it as a part of public administration and is different from the one from the inter-war period. The present paper examines the institution of economic self-government in the Polish law in the light of the solutions adopted in European countries. It also analyses Polish legal solutions from the inter-war period.
