Description
With the inclusion of new, updated material, this collection analyzes Poland's experiment in democratization, from the points of view both of longtime observers of the country and of those who are actually carrying out this task. The volume explores Polish party alignments, mobilization, elections, leaders, labour unions and the Church. It discusses the range of issues encountered by those attempting to move Poland from a command to a free enterprise economy and the impact these issues will have upon international trade, future membership of the European Community and security relations. This is a book for those who wish to understand Poland's pioneering effort to transform the whole nature of its political and economic framework. It is for Departments of politics, economics, international relations and European studies.
