Recenzje

"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." (Lukasz A. Janulewicz, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 73 (2), March 1, 2021)
