Recenzje

'Why has post-1989 Poland been a success story and Ukraine not? Providing an answer to this question is the task of a major book by Christopher A. Hartwell, president of the Center for Social and Economic Research (CASE) in Poland. The comparison of these two neighboring states is apt, especially given their overlapping history … and the shared experience of communism. … The chapters are a tour de force.' Patrice M. Dabrowski, The Polish Review
