Description:
This book examines change in post-1989 Poland by linking it analytically to the continuity of Poland's past. It argues that the first reality of objective-institutional changes is underpinned by the continuity of second realities. Political crises and conflicts are analyzed as to the impact of images on identities in situations of dissolution of order. Based on an interdisciplinary analysis of the Polish case, this study proposes a new conceptual framework for the study of transitional societies and revises standard assumptions in transitology and democratization studies.
