POLAND VIS-À-VIS THE WEST EUROPEAN UNION AND EUROPEAN MILITARY TOOLS
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2007, Vol 22, Issue 1
Abstract
Poland’s policy towards West European Union (WEUO) and the adequate European defence tools, without taking advice from anyone, puts Poland’s allies in a diffi cult position, rouses contradiction and amazement. After Poland, together with Spain, blocked the Union’s Constitution, there were fears that in the future Poland may block the votes and counteract the European Union’s plans on the Common Foreign and Security Policy. Instead of becoming an active participant of the discussion, it takes the tactic of observing the Americans and become dependent on Washington’s decision that conditions the “European” policy not to be, in any case, against NATO. The Poland’s “ambivalent” strategy (on politics and security – the full orientation towards the US, on the economic aspect – waiting for a larger assistance from EU) did not bring the expected profi ts. On one hand, weakens Polish position on the international arena, and on the other hand – per saldo – it turns profi table both in the objective state of the Polish reasoning and in the subjective citizens’ attitudes.
