초록
Following the beginning of the political transformation in 1989, Poland joined the European Union on May 1, 2004. It implied that Poland achieved its main strategic objective which was one of Poland’s key foreign policy priorities. After almost nine years of EU membership, it is relevant to analyze the Poland’s policies and its long-term visions of the future development of the European Union. And at the same time now is the time to deal with the question of how future bilateral relations of both sides will develop and finally to ask what the European Union expects from Poland. Three key concepts regarding Polish foreign policies towards the European Union are competitiveness, solidarity, and openness. Furthermore, Ostpolitik, the EU’s policies towards Central and Eastern European Countries, has been changed from PHARE Programme through European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) to the Eastern Partnership (EaP) up to now. Poland’s geopolitical location and its historical experiences constitute a very influential part of Polish national identity. Poland’s attempt to reconstruct and consolidate its place in Europe after the collapse of communism plays a significant role in formulating its policies towards its Eastern neighbouring countries. Polish decision-makers clearly see Poland’s role in the East as a promoter of the EU’s norms, translator of the EU’s law and an ‘intelligent agent.’ The Eastern Partnership allows Poland to determine the EU’s common policy drawing from Poland’s ‘ideational’ foreign policy principles.
Abstract
Following the beginning of the political transformation in 1989, Poland joined the European Union on May 1, 2004. It implied that Poland achieved its main strategic objective which was one of Poland’s key foreign policy priorities. After almost nine years of EU membership, it is relevant to analyze the Poland’s policies and its long-term visions of the future development of the European Union. And at the same time now is the time to deal with the question of how future bilateral relations of both sides will develop and finally to ask what the European Union expects from Poland. Three key concepts regarding Polish foreign policies towards the European Union are competitiveness, solidarity, and openness. Furthermore, Ostpolitik, the EU’s policies towards Central and Eastern European Countries, has been changed from PHARE Programme through European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) to the Eastern Partnership (EaP) up to now. Poland’s geopolitical location and its historical experiences constitute a very influential part of Polish national identity. Poland’s attempt to reconstruct and consolidate its place in Europe after the collapse of communism plays a significant role in formulating its policies towards its Eastern neighbouring countries. Polish decision-makers clearly see Poland’s role in the East as a promoter of the EU’s norms, translator of the EU’s law and an ‘intelligent agent.’ The Eastern Partnership allows Poland to determine the EU’s common policy drawing from Poland’s ‘ideational’ foreign policy principles.
