Das politische System Polens

This textbook presents the Polish political system, focusing especially on the country’s domestic political changes since the PiS party came to power. The authors analyse, among other things, Poland’s shift from political liberalism to an illiberal democracy. In particular, the book explains the political institutions, but also discusses individual policy areas that are essential for German-speaking readers to know about in order for them to understand Poland’s political system and to assess the degree of consolidation of Polish democracy. In addition, the book explains older political traditions to which political actors and political institutions relate.
