In the 1990s he was a supporter (but not a member) of the post-communist parties, first Democratic Left Alliance (SLD), and today Social Democratic Party of Poland (SDPL).

Dariusz Rosati was a co-founder and director of the Global Economy Institute (Instytut Gospodarki Światowej) and the Institute of Economic Situations and Prices (Instytut Koniunktur i Cen). He worked as an expert in various international organizations, including the economic commission of the United Nations in Geneva and an adviser to the Chairman of the European Commission in Brussels.

Supporter of a united Europe, he is the author of numerous publications on the European integration and the rector of Lazarski School of Commerce and Law in Warsaw (Wyższa Szkoła Handlu i Prawa im.

Collaboration with communist secret service

In November 2007, the IPN (Institute of National Rembrance)[3] said that Dariusz Rosati was registered as a secret collaborator "candidate" and "protection" by the Ministry of Interior I Department and II Department. Later on he was registered as a operational contact. However, in July 2007 Dariusz Rosati has made a statement[4] in which he denied that cooperation went beyond sporadic contacts. His lustration declaration was approved by the Ombudsman of the Public Interest and prosecutor of the IPN.[5] Thus he was not a secret collaborator at any time during his life.
