According to various independent research institutions Poland is
now seen as the fastest destabilizing democracy. After 1989, Poland
was often presented in the international public discourse as an
example of the successful political and economic transition away
from Communism. However, since 2015, Poland has been associated
with terminologies not previously linked with this country:
ânationalismâ, âpopulismâ or âbreaking rule of lawâ.
The authors of the book analyze the reasons for democratic
backsliding in Poland in a more comprehensive and systematic
manner. Special attention is paid to political polarization, which
is a substantial threat to democracy. This volume shows the
de-democratization of Poland from various perspectives, cultural
and historical, political institutions, party politics, and media.
Can the liberal model of of democracy remain intact with Poland,
and what role does the EU play in all of this?. The book should be
an required reading not only for scholars and students studying
democratic decline, but also for everybody who wants to understand
what is happening currently in Poland.
This book analyzes the controversy surrounding imperialism
associated with capitalist development. The last dozen years passed
under the shadow of two momentous events: the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan conducted in the framework of the broader "war on
terror", and the economic crisis. They occurred against the
backdrop of global economic integration, but also against the
contradictions in its development. Those events and processes are
explained in the theory of contemporary capitalist imperialism that
the author attempts to reconstruct.
