Two publications by the ISP attracted international attention: Druga fala polskich reform (Second wave of Polish reforms) and Cztery reformy (Four reforms). In its special edition on Poland, The Economist named these two books as one of three basic sources of information on the subject (alongside reports from the OECD and Norman Davies ' book).
The ISP was one of the most active non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in preparing the referendum on joining the European Union and the referendum campaign. His concept of a two-day vote enabled the constitutionally required participation of at least 50% of the population.
