INEKO - Slovak Institute for Economic and Social Reform
2007

Feedback on populism and government's (in)efficiency
2007-2010

INEKO counted 305 promises in the election campaign by Robert Fico, current Slovak Prime minister. Within this project INEKO analyzed 180 of these promises, their policy implications and obvious contradictions between some of them. The organization has pursued monitoring the fulfillment of those promises for second consecutive year. In addition to the analysis and publishing of the monitoring results, INEKO suggests alternative policy solutions where suitable and needed. At the end of the project, INEKO will develop a guidebook for citizens on how to detect a populist discourses.

Institute for Economic and Social Reforms (INEKO) is a non-governmental, non-profit think-tank established in support of social and economic reforms. Its main goal is to remove barriers to the long-term positive development of the Slovak economy and society. Since 2000, it has regularly monitored and evaluated the most important measures, particularly reforms of pensions, taxes, health care and education. INEKO runs a project of daily monitoring and commenting on the work of media - Slovak Press Watch – Journalism Blog. On annual basis it issues a publication with brief characteristics of adopted reforms – "Reforms in Slovakia". INEKO experts take active part in public policy making.
