  • Backwardness and Modernization

    Jerzy LukowskiARTICLEThe English Historical Review2008

    Jacek Kochanowicz is professor of economic history at the University of Warsaw. This invaluable collection brings together fourteen essays and articles which have appeared in western European and American journals and collections between 1983 and 2001, pre-dating, that is, Poland's accession to the European Union in May 2004. This is a pity, since Kochanowicz's views on that particular development, would have rounded off a perceptive assemblage o…

  • An eighteenth-century view of Nihil Novi

    Jerzy LukowskiARTICLEParliaments Estates and…2006

    The following article examines a debate in the mid-1760s over the meaning of the 1505 Statute popularly known as Nihil Novi, one of the constitutional cornerstones of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It focuses on the work of a backwoods country squire, Szczepan Sienicki, whose views may be taken as representative of many of the Polish nobility, in that while he deplored many of the Commonwealth's obvious weaknesses, he was reluctant to embrac…

  • Towards the Ideal Constitution

    Jerzy Lukowski, J T LukowskiARTICLEParliaments Estates and…1995

    In this article J. Lukowski has examined how the ideas of Montesquieu and Rousseau were used by the framers of the Polish constitution of 1791 to overcome the prevailing Sarmadan ideology of the Polish gentry. This assumed that the traditional institutions were perfect and were geared to block any attempt to change them. The first major breakthrough was to recognise the Chamber of Envoys in the Diet (Sejm) as the Embodiment of Rouseau's General W…

  • Recasting Utopia

    Open AccessJerzy LukowskiARTICLEThe Historical Journal1994Cited by: 4References: 2

    Between the sixteenth and eighteengh centuries, the nobility of the Polish–Lithuanian commonwealth had developed an ideology of extreme individualism and libertarianism, within a correspondingly weak and decentralized state structure. The first partition of 1772 starkly revealed the weaknesses of the Polish polity, but any hopes of major political overhaul were frustrated by the dead hand of Russian ambassadorial policing. The war of 1787–92 with…

    The years 1764-8 form a rare unity in Polish history, distinguished by an unprecedented attempt at constitutional and economic reform on a scale not to be repeated for another two decades. The fragile nature of the reforms which accompanied the election, in September 1764, of King Stanislaw August Poniatowski (1764-95) was revealed as early as autumn 1766, when internal opponents, supported by Russia and, to a lesser degree, Prussia, imposed the …

    In a report on the state of Poland in 1766 the papal nuncio, A. E. Visconti, observed that the new king, Stanisław August Poniatowski, possessed ‘a burning desire to reform the whole country in one day – if only he could – and the entire nation, in order to bring it up to the level of other, more advanced nations’. The interregnum after the death of Augustus III in October 1763 and Poniatowski's election in September 1764 had inaugurated the most…
