The book's primary objective is to examine the causes for Poland's lengthy transition to Western models of political and societal organization using two tracks of analysis. Part One develops a methodological framework that permits an analysis of crisis and conflict in pre- and post-1989 Polish politics as a permanent threshold situation, in which political elites have recurrently found themselves between a dissolution of order and political utopias. Part Two analyzes the socio-genesis of three images that have become central to identity politics in Poland's transition. It argues that the autonomy of Polish political elites in shaping the political order is flawed by dependencies on past images. This book studies transition in an interdisciplinary spirit. It addresses issues of identity politics by elaborating a conceptual framework which contributes to theory-building in East European transitions and also addresses students interested in theoretical questions of political and social change.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Written by a Brit who has lived in Poland for more than twenty years, this book challenges some accepted thinking in the West about Poland and about the rise of Law and Justice (PiS) as the ruling party in 2015. It is a remarkable account of the Polish post-1989 transition and contemporary politics, combining personal views and experience with careful fact and material collections. The result is a vivid description of the events and scrupulous explanations of the political processes, and all this with an interesting twist – a perspective of a foreigner and insider at the same time. Settled in the position of participant observer, Jo Harper combines the methods of macro and micro analysis with CDA, critical discourse analysis. He presents and interprets the constituent elements and issues of contemporary Poland: the main political forces, the Church, the media, issues of gender, the Russian connection, the much-disputed judicial reform and many others. A special feature of the book is the detailed examination of the coverage of the Poland’s latest two elections, one in 2019 (parliamentary) and the other in 2020 (presidential) in the British media, an insightful and witty specimen of comparative cultural and political analysis.
