Summary / Abstract (Note) | The sociopolitical split in Polish society disorients Warsaw’s Eastern policy. Poland has historically positioned itself as a missionary in Eastern Europe, but the current internal conflict calls into question the very essence of this mission. On the one hand, Warsaw clearly intends to facilitate the integration of states in the western part of the post-Soviet space into the Western structures. On the other hand, a significant part of Polish society, whose views are represented by the country’s leadership, is unhappy about the trends afoot in the United States and Western Europe and sees Poland as a conservative alternative to the Western mainstream. For its part, the liberal part of society is dissatisfied with this standoff and insists that Poland should follow the main social trends of major Western countries. As a result, Poland has found itself facing an identity crisis. |
