"The Origins of Modern Polish Democracy" is a series of closely
integrated essays that traces the idea of democracy in Polish
thought and practice. It begins with the transformative events of
the mid-nineteenth century, which witnessed revolutionary
developments in the socioeconomic and demographic structure of
Poland, and continues through changes that marked the postcommunist
era of free Poland.
The idea of democracy survived in Poland through long periods of
foreign occupation, the trials of two world wars, and years of
Communist subjugation. Whether in Poland itself or among exiles,
Polish speculation about the creation of a liberal-democratic
Poland has been central to modern Polish political thought. This
volume is unique in that it traces the evolution of the idea of
democracy, both during the periods when Poland was an independent
country--1918-1939 and after 1989--and during the periods of
foreign occupation before 1918 and through World War II and the
Communist era. For those periods when Poland was not free, the
volume discusses how the idea of democracy evolved among exile and
underground Polish circles. This important work is the only
single-volume English-language history of modern Polish democratic
thought and parliamentary systems and represents the latest
scholarly research by leading specialists from Europe and North
America.
