While countries such as Poland and Hungary are hailed as successful transitions to liberal democracies, they are also seen as semi-authoritarian regimes undermining democracy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The book questions what the transition was truly about, challenging the dominant narrative and highlighting the overlooked aspects of society, such as the agency of people and organizations, the ethical resources that society and economy are based upon and ideas about who we are as human beings. Focusing on organizations and the world of paid work, it uses Poland as a case study to explore the hidden consequences of the transition and its broader relevance for both Eastern Europe and the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Giza\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529233798\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529233797\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Anna Giza","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47424420184319,"sku":"9781529233797","price":119.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c7c00740-decc-49d1-baf1-139d54139bd1.jpg?v=1761530108","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lost-in-transition-anna-giza-9781529233797","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
