The present volume of Studia Politologiczne sets to explore Polish politics in the country’s post-transformation period. It does not intend to provide a finite answer to the complex and persistently debated questions in the literature on the subject, that is whether the transformation process has now been completed in all its areas, so that we can truly speak of a post-transformation policy, or is it the case that, within the different areas of political relations, we are dealing with various dynamics of the transformation processes, and accordingly, different rates of progress of the transformation? Presented here is the outcome of continued research on the transformation pursued at the Institute of Political Science, University of Warsaw. In addition to publications analysing the various aspects of Polish transformation, the Institute has published books which provide a multi-dimensional study of the course and effects of political changes taking place in Poland since 1989. Three of them in particular must be mentioned here: Poland: Government and Politics (1997), The Political System of Poland (2007), and Dylematy polskiej transformacji, published in 2008, and its English version Dilemmas of the Polish Transformation published in 2010.
