Purpose: The current pandemic crisis caused by Covid-19 significantly impacted the processes of European integration. The European Union decided to act within and beyond existing competences and instruments to support the efforts of its Member States, along with regional and local authorities, in the fight against Covid-19. Our study sheds light on the instruments and solutions proposed within the framework of the cohesion and budget policy to tackle the problems related to Covid-19 in Europe. The analysis focuses on two strands: 1) EU assistance offered through cohesion policy (CP) instruments toward above areas; 2) the future evolution of EU budget, and therefore integration shifts, provoked by the Covid-19 crisis.

Design/methodology/approach: The study analyzes statistical data with regard to the use of instruments of the Cohesion Policy under the Covid-19 pandemic, but also the amendments introduced to legal acts and decision-making processes that refer to the multiannual financial framework (MFF) for 2021{\textendash}2027.

Findings: We notice a strong shift of priorities regarding environment transformation, digitalization, and health protection, reflected in the MFF. The coordinative role of European institutions and the redirection of different financial instruments to health care follows the neofunctionalist paradigm and represents a spillover effect resulting from integration. The crisis analyzed from the institutional perspective is seen as a chance to reform the decision-making process, while on the other hand, as a threat to the inclusive integration of all Member States.

Originality and value: The paper is an original contribution on the overall use of both financial and legislative instruments in the times of unprecedented health and economic crisis caused by Covid-19 in the European Union. The text can be a valuable insight for both researchers and practitioners in the field of broadly understood European studies.

The paper examines the issue of whether the process of policy formulation and implementation on urban regeneration in Poland is done pursuant to the rules of a cycle of public policy-making. This is carried out through the use of the functioning cycle of public policy in Poland proposed by Zyba{\l}a (2015) that stresses the specificities of Polish conditions in the public policy-making. Hence, the aim of the study is to provide an overview of public policy-making on urban regeneration in the context of legislative and institutional-administrative practices. In the light of increasingly complex challenges faced by cities, there is a need for the necessary counter-balancing regeneration measures taking a form of state sponsored public policy. Therefore, the Act on Regeneration was adopted in 2015. The paper concludes that the adoption of this Act was dominated by the legislator which, with relatively little contribution from other stakeholders, resulted in a rather unambitious set of legal provisions on regeneration that have not substantially changed the instrumental approach of local authorities to urban regeneration.

The JESSICA initiative has been set up to respond to development needs of urban areas, which are of key importance for stimulation of sustainable economic growth. It is supposed to provide a more efficient alternative to the traditional EU grants for the implementation of developmental projects. The funding available under the JESSICA framework relies on a repayable and recyclable basis. This means that it not only offers revolving funds, increasing financing capacity of EU cohesion policy, but also creates scope for cooperation between public authorities, financial institutions, and private investors to support implementation of this policy. Since JESSICA supports projects being part of an integrated plan for sustainable urban development, its primary challenge is to combine the objectives focused on urban sustainability and policy intervention with revolving financial models that assume, in principle, the long-term viability of projects. However, taking into particular consideration the needs of urban areas and the EU cohesion policy objective on the one hand, and the organisation and operation of financing engineering instruments on the other, JESSICA seems to be a very ambitious undertaking. The evaluations carried out, up to now, have been mainly focused on its legal and institutional framework, or limited to some selected project. Our study concerns the assessment of all projects implemented within the framework of the JESSICA initiative in five Polish regions, namely: Pomorskie, Mazowieckie, {\'S}l{\k a}skie, Wielkopolskie and Zachodniopomorskie, in the years between 2007-2015. To do so, we designed a methodological approach for assessing the extent to which projects implemented under the JESSICA initiative have contributed to achieving its fundamental assumptions. Subsequently, we made an assessment of the results of JESSICA through the conceptual lens of sustainable urban development. The main findings show that the range of achieving the assumptions of the JESSICA funding model by projects diverges widely. Many projects were quite well adjusted to the requirements but there were also projects that fulfilled them to a very limited extent.

The authors look also at the governmental change of approach towards the use and mining of cryptocurrencies being one of the assets and potential applications of bitcoin as (quasi) money. Design/methodology/approach The authors collected the daily data (a period from 01 May 2014 to 31 July 2018) on the development of the following magnitudes: Caracas Stock Exchange main index: {\'I}ndice Burs{\'a}til de Capitalisaci{\'o}n (IBC) index; gold price in US dollars, the oil price in US dollars and Bitcoin price in bolivar fuerte (VEF) (LocalBitcoins). The authors estimated a threshold VAR model between IBC and each of the possible safe-haven assets, where the trigger variable was the IBC; then the authors modelled the residuals from the TVAR model using MGARCH model with dynamic conditional correlation. Findings The results show that that gold is a better safe-haven than oil for Venezuelan investors, while bitcoin can be considered a weak safe haven. Still, bitcoin can perform (to a certain extent) money functions in a crisis-driven country. Research limitations/implications Further research after the change of local currency from VEF into bolivar soberano might be looked at on the later stage. Practical implications The authors provide evidence on which of analysed asset is the best safe-haven for the investors acting in the time of the crisis. The evidence goes in line with other authors{\textquoteright} findings, thus, the results might bring implications for investors of more universal character. Additionally, the result might be helpful for governments and/or monetary authorities while projecting institutional frameworks and conducting monetary policy. Social implications The unprecedented economic crisis in Venezuela was one of the factors that fuelled the mining and use of cryptocurrencies in the daily life of its citizens. Nowadays, the country is a leader in terms of the use of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in Latin America.

To diversify the sample, we include five very different countries in our study: Japan, Venezuela, China, Estonia, and Sweden. Using daily data over the period 2014{\textendash}2017, we estimate the dynamic conditional correlation model between main stock indices and bitcoin price in local currencies (Bitflyer {\textendash} in the case of the yen, Kraken {\textendash} in the case of the euro, Huobi in the case of yuan and LocalBitcoins in all the remaining cases), as well as between main stock indices and the bitcoin price in the US dollar (Bitfinex exchange). We apply the Stochastic Volatility Model with the Dynamic Conditional Correlation. We add binary variables into the dynamic correlation equation, indicating the occurrence of extreme return on the stock-exchange index in the lower 1\%, 5\% and 10\% quantile. The conclusions vary, depending whether we consider trade on the local bitcoin exchanges or in the global one. We conclude that bitcoin was treated as a safe haven asset only in the case of Venezuela and investments in bolivars. In the case of local investments in Japan and China bitcoin behaved as a diversifier. In the bitcoin-friendly economies of Sweden and Estonia it acted as a weak hedge. In the case of the USD trade, the results suggest that bitcoin is a weak hedge with respect to all of the analyzed markets.

Research Design \& Methods: The authors used the logistic regression to build a model showing the association of the variables analysed on the dependent variable. In addition, to point out a relative importance from all possible orderings of explanatory variables and to show the most important one(s), ANOVA method was applied. Findings: Not all the projects co-financed under the JESSICA initiative bring revenues from their main operations. The legal form of a beneficiary plays an important role. Both projects implemented by companies and projects of a relatively high value increase the probability of generating revenues. Location of the project (capital city/ non-capital city of the region) is not significant with regard to capacities to generate revenues. Implications \& Recommendations: JESSICA projects characterised with a high value and implemented by entities having the company status involve private capital and consequently generate capital backflows. They contribute to leverage effects and thereby raise the role of JESSICA as a powerful instrument aimed at rendering existing market failures. It seems that the results of the study might help to design the use of JESSICA resources in the current and the future EU financial perspective. Contribution \& Value Added: The article sheds more light on a still under-researched area of the use of financial instruments in the EU Cohesion Policy. The analysis provides pioneering results and points out the vital issues for future research. }, keywords = {JESSICA; Poland; regeneration; revenue-generating projects; Cohesion Policy}, issn = { 2353-8821 }, doi = {https://doi.org/10.15678/EBER.2019.070208}, url = {https://eber.uek.krakow.pl/index.php/eber/article/view/513}, author = {Ida Musia{\l}kowska and Piotr Idczak} } @inbook {4037, title = {Civic Engagement in Local Politics in Central Europe}, booktitle = {The Routledge Handbook of International Local Government}, year = {2019}, pages = {344-360}, publisher = {Routledge}, organization = {Routledge}, edition = {Richard Kerley, Joyce Liddle, Pamela T.

JESSICA initiative as a financial engineering instrument was introduced to enhance and accelerate investments in disadvantaged urban areas. The novel aspect of JESSICA is that this instrument should not only support and promote sustainable urban development but also provide incentives that lower risk capital investments and consequently allow to overcome existing market failures. Thus, the paper aims to identify whether JESSICA projects have contributed to generating positive market effects, as well as to indicate the factors that were most responsible for the occurrence of these phenomena. The results show that 75\% out of all projects generated positive market effects in form of new jobs, services or products. The generation of revenues by particular project was the most influential factor determining the capacity of a given project to create positive markets effects.

Regeneration {\textendash} an integrated process of activities undertaken in the spatial, social and economic dimensions should lead to the improvement of the living conditions of inhabitants of degraded urban areas. The European Union in 2007-2013 allocated financial resources for this purpose in the form of JESSICA initiative which is based on financial engineering mechanism. Experiences gained so far allow conclusions to be drawn that JESSICA is a highly financially-efficient instrument but, however, not always delivers the desired outcomes in the spatial and social sphere. The scope of projects often is limited to infrastructural investments and does not reflect the complexity of regeneration process. In the article the authors analyse experiences of the five Polish regions with the use of JESSICA, point out main problems and formulate recommendations for sustainable urban policy.

The current year 2014 allows/has allowed for the first attempts to evaluate the operations, organization and implementation of the Cohesion Policy 2007-2013. The authors have analysed one of the elements that might have an impact on the results obtained under the regional operational programme in the Wielkopolska region in Poland, namely the modes of\ the\ selection of projects. This element of the whole cycle of projects is an\ under-researched subject of scientific analyses even though the project selection itself has been deeply examined by (various) control institutions (the European Court of Auditors, Supreme Audit Offices etc.). The authors use evaluation concepts and a strategic management lens, and formulate five research questions on: the conditions necessary for the transparency of project selection, the main factors determining the choice of the adopted selection mode, the impact of the selection mode on the results, the quality of the work of experts, and the efficiency of the appeal procedures for\ beneficiaries {\textendash} trying to answer all these questions in the subsequent sections of the article. The methods used comprise analyses of legislation, reports, primary data and in-depth-interviews with the stakeholders. The\ research has also practical implications and can be a valuable case-study for policy-makers.

The European Union (EU) has been transforming and evolving throughout the years of its operating. The two processes of deepening and enlarging have had an impact on each other. Since the very beginning the EU has experienced enlargements but one in particular, in the opinion of many scholars, has influenced the organization the most. The enlargement in 2004 by an additional 10 Member States (initially prepared for 12 members) forced the Union to undertake reforms of its treaties and institutions, including the way of decision-making; it also redirected budgetary transfers and impacted on the functioning of the EU{\textquoteright}s internal market by expanding its geographical scale and increasing the number of enterprises and consumers that joined it; finally, it gave the EU a new political and geopolitical position. The main aim of the article is to analyze the economic development of the Member States (and especially) the new Member States {\textendash} herein after referred to as NMS) of this particular enlargement and the EU. The methods of analyses are based on secondary data analysis and the author{\textquoteright}s own research related to e.g. regional policy-making.

This year, the Visegrad countries celebrate together twenty ve years since the socio, economic and political changes lead in collapse of totalitarian regimes. But the political transition brought also problems and new challenges not know previously. The rst free elections were held in the Visegrad countries that time and their inhabitants could choose their political representatives. Many of them came originally from the civil society and revolution movements. However, the political decision-making became disconnected from the civil society over time. We study the present rootedness of local political representatives in the civil society measured by their membership and leadership in civil society organisations in all four Visegrad countries. We are as well interested in engagement of activists from the civil society in an institutionalised political life, i.e. political parties and political movements. The purpose of this book is to discuss development of local democracy, local development initiatives and local social capital in growing urban areas in post-transition countries in which the civil society was almost absent or very weak twenty ve years ago. This publication comes up with overviews of the situation in four cities, one in each of the Visegrad countries. First the Polish case of Poznan is discussed. Then three capital cities follow: Czech Prague, Slovakian Bratislava and Hungarian Budapest.

Poland, since the pre-accession period, has been dealing with the European Union financial and technical assistance. However, current financial perspective of the EU gave Poland opportunity to be involved in the whole programming period and participate in each phase of the Cohesion Policy cycle. The responsibility of the implementation of this policy is shared between the European Commission and the Member States of the EU. Therefore, one of the key elements of the use of EU funds is the regulatory environment and legal acts adoption that enable proper use of the EU budgetary allocations. Besides, the strong impact of the European Union has been visible on the processes of governance and law creation on both central and regional levels of administration. It has resulted in appearance of multilevel governance and creation of \ multilayered legal system in terms of the use of EU funds. One of the main aims of the article is to present Polish experiences with the implementation and creation of legal acts referring to the area of Cohesion Policy in the years 2007-2013 (including strengths and weaknesses). From comparison made to previous period 2004-2006 changes in the process of adoption and implementation of legal acts are noticeable. Moreover, some shifts towards stronger coordination in the phase of programming of the policy are visible. Challenges and remedies to weaknesses with reference to legal and management aspects of Cohesion Policy would be also discussed in concluding section of the paper. The methodology of the paper bases on the analysis of types of legal acts, legal and administrative procedures comprising EU regulations, Polish legal acts, Ministry of Regional Development regulations and guidelines, regional/local law, confronted with the consequences for system of EU funding and for potential beneficiaries. The results of the analysis can help to formulate recommendations for improvement in the forthcoming years 2014-2020 that can be useful not only in the Polish case. This particular experience can serve as in-depth case study for countries preparing themselves to join the EU and also provide some lessons for inter-regional co-operation in the area of regional development and consequences of multilayered law creation.\

In the area of regional development and development policy new instruments and creation of the systems of management and control had to be introduced in the Member States (MS) which is a derivative of the EU regulations. The MS however have autonomy in shaping the systems. Those two elements contribute to increasing complexity, multi-level governance and needs strong coordination of many elements. In the article the authors decided to analyse different types of external control of the use of EU Structural Funds and relate this to the phases of the project cycle management. The authors modify definition of external control and include also\  control of the system by the stakeholders of the Cohesion Policy (social control) with the focus on administrative proceedings application. Therefore, multidimensional overview on proper functioning of the systems of the SF management and control in Poland is introduced by the authors. This approach is innovative and at the same time the article gives an opportunity to gather dispersed information on control present in the literature. The methodology\  is based on legal acts analysis.
