Pełny opis:

The Course is designed to provide students with through understanding of Polish political systems and processes, as well as the ideas and issues that have shaped contemporary Polish politics since 1989. The Parliament, President, political parties, the Government and the Prime Minister, political ideology, political culture and foreign policy are the main topics discussed in this curse. Throughout the course, comparisons with political systems in other countries will be made as a point of reference to provide the student with a framework for understanding Polish politics and society.

Whilst students are expected to learn the fundamentals of politics in Poland, this course is not about “memorizing” factual detail. Rather, they should approach this class from an “analytical” perspective. Students are also expected to keep up with current affairs in Poland.
