Abstract
Contemporary Polish foreign policy has faced many revolutionary challenges following the fall of the Iron Curtain, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and other changes in the international environment. In less than 20 years Poland’s position in international affairs changed drastically. Moving from being one of the core Soviet bloc states, Poland became a loyal North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member1 and an influential European Union (EU) member state. From a regional leader with its external relations focusing mainly on neighboring states, Poland evolved into an active actor participating in global politics. This change was possible not only because of internal reform, globalization, or the geopolitical restructuring of the postSoviet space, but also because of the growing role of the EU as a world player and the development of the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP).
