Katyn and the Soviet Massacre of 1940: Truth, Justice and Memory
The Soviet massacre of Polish prisoners of war at Katyn and in other camps in 1940 was one of the most notorious incidents of the Second World War. The truth about the massacres was long suppressed, both by the Soviet Union, and also by the United States and Britain who wished to hold together their wartime alliance with the Soviet Union. This informative book examines the details of this often overlooked event, shedding light on what took place …
The Katyn Massacre and Polish-Soviet Relations, 1941-43
Polish-Soviet relations went through three periods during the second world war. Between 1939 and 1941, the nazi-Soviet allies destroyed the Polish state while the Soviets extinguished Polish influence in the Eastern Territories which they had occupied in September 1939. After April 1943 Stalin marginalized the ‘London’ Poles and asserted his favoured eastern frontier while his pro-Soviet forces took over Poland. In the middle period of formal Pol…
Democracy in Eastern Europe: Consolidated, different or normal
Overcoming the burden of history in Polish foreign policy
A historical-geographical culture of threat to Poland’s independence since about 1700 has produced an identity dominated by the need to regain or protect sovereignty and a problematic relationship between nation and state.

Since 1989 external threats have been transformed by a favourable European…

Parliamentary Control and the Constitutional Definition of Foreign Policy Making in Democratic Poland
IN WHAT IN ITS TIME WAS A CLASSIC STUDY of the British experience, Peter Richards's Parliament and Foreign Affairs argued that 'there are formidable difficulties to effective parliamentary examination of foreign affairs', if only because 'the essence of foreign policy is negotiation rather than legislation'.1 Studies of the once-powerful American Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee indicat…
Democratization and European standards of National minority protection: Polish issues
This article considers how a nationally homogeneous state in East‐Central Europe, Poland, which in this respect is comparable to Hungary and the Czech Republic, has responded to a major post‐1989 challenge – that of meeting European standards of national minority protection within a civic‐territorial model of democracy. The forced assimilation and repression of such minorities as the Ukrainians and the Belarusans in prewar and communist Poland is…
