In this research, a comparative analysis of the gender inequalities between Turkey the member, candidate and potential candidate economies of the European Union is tried to be examined. To ensure equality and justice and to reach the level of the EU Member states in this regard, it is a necessity to reduce the gender inequality in society. Rather than comparing Turkey with all transition economies within the frame of the EU standards of gender inequality, it was decided to compare Turkey with the transition economies like itself that are EU Members, Member candidates and potential candidates. The Gender Inequality Index that was developed by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) was used in the aforementioned comparisons. Research results show proof that there are unfavorable differences in Turkey in regards to the comparison of gender inequality with transition economies that are EU members, member candidates and potential candidates. This result shows that Turkey has omissions in all components of gender inequality, categorized as health care, participation in political life, access to education and participation in working life. Therefore Turkey needs to reconsider all these categories and their indicators.

In this chapter I focus on the fundamental causes of the Polish growth miracle, namely the adoption of Western institutions. I start by documenting how the prospect of the EU accession drove the institution building. I show what institutions Poland adopted and how they were key to the country’s economic performance. I argue that Poland was among the fastest adopters of Western institutions, which helped it grow more rapidly than other transition economies. I then focus on the fundamental question of why Poland wanted to adopt good institutions from the West. I argue that Poland built good institutions because of the positive legacy of communism, a historically unprecedented social consensus to ‘return to Europe’, Westernized and growth-oriented elites, and emergence of a strong middle class. Western European readiness to embrace Eastern Europe was also critical. I conclude by offering insights and policy recommendations for other countries.

The implementation of efficient cross-border digital public services for a connected Europe, a developed e-government represents a priority for the European Union. There are big differences in the way e-government is adopted. Transition economies lag behind developed economies. This paper explores the e-government adoption in its multidimensionality within the EU member states. It uses 22 variables, which highlight: technological preparedness, the ability to access and absorb information and information technology, the ability to generate, adopt and spread knowledge, the social and legal environment, the government policy and vision, and consumer and business adoption and innovation. Barriers to efficient e-government adoption in transition economies are identified. Multicriteria decision analysis is used for the prioritisation of the factors with the highest overall impact on efficient implementation. The authors use the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP method) for prioritisation and the numerical results are obtained with Expert Choice software.

The article analyses energy efficiency and energy consumption trends in Lithuania in terms of sustainable development and aims to assess these trends in developed and transition economies. The results of development achieved by EU-15 and other developed countries indicate that the goals of sustainable development such as prosperity, high rates of economic development and low impact on the environment are not conflicting and can be achieved together. Transition economies newly entered the EU and suffering from a high resource intensity of economics and a comparatively low income per capita can converge in terms of the main indicators with EU-15 up to 2020.
