Description
This collection analyzes Poland's experiment in democratization, from the view of longtime observers and those who are carrying out the task. It explores party alignments, mobilization, elections, leaders, labour unions and the church. The book also discusses the range of issues encountered by those attempting to move Poland from a command to a free-enterprise economy and the impact these will have upon international trade, future membership of the European Community and security relations.
