Polish European policy 2004-2014

The presented book does not intend to be a fractographic description of the events that took place in the first 10 years of Poland's membership in the European Union, broken down by individual sectoral policies, political relations or Europeanization processes. The most important here is the analysis of the European policy understood as the entirety of activities initiated within the Polish political system and undertaken by the Polish authorities in EU institutions and in contacts with the other member states, in the context of EU functioning. While characterizing the research objectives of this investigation, one should also stress the importance of analyzing the full scope of Poland's integration activities considered as a set of common elements visible in the activities undertaken by many different state institutions.
