📚 Research in Focus: our new series highlighting key insights from research published in Contemporary European Politics.

This week: what changed in Poland's democracy promotion?

Read the Open Access article by Wicke van den Broek: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

#CEP #EUStudies
Graphic introducing the Research in Focus series from Contemporary European Politics. The graphic asks, "What changed in Poland's democracy promotion?" It highlights two key findings from recent research. Under "Change", it explains that the approach shifted from an EU-centred model to a stronger emphasis on national sovereignty and security. Under "Continuity", it notes that democracy, human rights and the sovereignty of eastern neighbours remained central. The design features a cream background with navy and orange text, an orange "Research in Focus" banner at the top, and Contemporary European Politics and UACES branding in the footer.
