Opis

Based on confidential interviews this collection of ten essays examines Poland's place and prospects as it prepares to enter the European Union. Poland became a full member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation during 1999 and is due to join the European Union in June 2004. This book explores the country's relationship in the Transatlantic alliance, particularly with it's allies America, France, Germany, Britain and the Ukraine. The effects of September 11th is dealt with in some detail; alongside the issues of transforming the Polish forces for NATO membership.

This authoritative volume assesses how the recently democratized political system in Poland is adapting to the challenges posed by the country's adhesion to NATO which it joined in 1999. The contributors analyse Poland's performance as a newcomer.
