Miroslaw Matyja Book order

Focusing on the potential impact of Swiss direct democracy on Poland, the work explores whether implementing tools like referendums, popular initiatives, and people's veto could enhance the Polish political landscape. The thesis argues that these democratic instruments could foster a sense of co-responsibility among citizens, encouraging greater political engagement and revitalizing interest among those previously disengaged. Ultimately, the introduction of these mechanisms is seen as a progressive step for both the political system and society in Poland.

The book delves into the intricacies of Switzerland's highly regulated financial-banking sector, examining its global appeal and economic significance. It addresses the regulatory framework aimed at consumer protection and financial stability, particularly in light of the world financial crisis. Critiques from Swiss commentators on various regulatory aspects, including capital requirements and remuneration policies, highlight ongoing debates. Additionally, the influence of Swiss direct democracy on banking regulation, often overlooked in literature, is thoroughly analyzed, aiming to clarify misconceptions.

Due to the challenges that modern representative democracy is facing, citizens and politicians of various countries are looking for new solutions and ways to ensure the optimal functioning of their political and decision making system. In this context, Switzerland appears to be a country relatively immune to the current crisis. Why is that? As a direct democracy where the rule of the people remains the fundamental principle, it provides its citizens with instruments: referendum, popular initiative, popular veto, which allow them to resolve any problems that arise both on the national and local level. The essential characteristic of the Swiss system, which is also its main strength, is that unlike other European democracies it grants its citizens full power over their homeland, making them the actual sovereign. The author discusses various aspects of the Swiss model of democracy and suggests that it offers the best solutions for the optimal development of any country. It is the first work on this subject, it is certainly worth reading!
