M. Brzezinski

The Struggle for Constitutionalism in Poland

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

While a number of books document Polish social and political history, few works comprehensively chronicle Poland's long-term constitutional history, and even fewer analyze Poland's contemporary struggle to establish a constitutional democracy. This book, by examining the recent development of constitutionalism in Poland in the light of her deeper constitutional heritage, addresses both areas.
