By studying historical, geopolitical and domestic factors, the author offers a better understanding of Poland’s national interests and sheds new light on its foreign relations with the USA, Russia and the European Union. Furthermore, the author also discusses Poland’s cooperation within international organisations, such as NATO and the EU. Review “The volume provides an up-to-date overview of Polish foreign policy trends since 1989. … Its overall scope and unusual perspective can still make the book a valuable complement to more mainstream handbooks to accompany more in-depth discussions on Polish foreign policy.” (Łukasz A. Janulewicz, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 73 (2), March 1, 2021) From the Back Cover This book analyses determinants and the evolution of Poland’s foreign and security policy in the changing international order.
