Beskrivning

According to various independent research institutions Poland is now seen as the fastest destabilizing democracy. After 1989, Poland was often presented in the international public discourse as an example of the successful political and economic transition away from Communism. However, since 2015, Poland has been associated with terminologies not previously linked with this country: “nationalism”, “populism” or “breaking rule of law”. The authors of the book analyze the reasons for democratic backsliding in Poland in a more comprehensive and systematic manner. Special attention is paid to political polarization, which is a substantial threat to democracy. This volume shows the de-democratization of Poland from various perspectives, cultural and historical, political institutions, party politics, and media. Can the liberal model of of democracy remain intact with Poland, and what role does the EU play in all of this?. The book should be an required reading not only for scholars and students studying democratic decline, but also for everybody who wants to understand what is happening currently in Poland.

Recensioner i media

"The book is a much need addition to the literature on autocratization. The authors provide a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the causes of Poland's recent democratic decline that spans from long-term factors such as history, political culture, and ideology, to the recent institutional, political, and social causes of autocratization highlighting, in particular, the distortions in the process of democratic consolidation post-1989. It is an essential reading for understanding the current state of Polish democracy.”
