Abstract

Poland features prominently in the study of third wave democracies and democratic transition in Central and Eastern Europe. Nevertheless, to date there have been hardly any book-length studies of Polish democracy which analyse the developments since the fall of Communism. Presenting Poland as a successful example of democratisation, Anna Gwiazda’s book provides one of the first comprehensive empirical studies of Polish democracy between 1989 and 2011.
