About this book
Reviews
“This highly original book focuses on an axial relationship in the European Union, that between Germany and Poland. Strong hopes were entertained, especially in Germany that the relationship would flower into an equivalent of the Franco German relationship. Why this has not turned out to be the case is the subject of Stefan Szwed’s densely argued book. This is a ‘must read’ for EU scholars.” (William E. Paterson, Honorary Professor of German and European Politics, Aston University, UK)
