Polish Foreign Policy under a Non-Communist Government: Prospects and Problems.

摘要

This RAND Note analyzes Polish foreign policy directions following the establishment of a government led by non-Communists. It is based both on trends within Polish opposition circles before the government was set up and on actions and foreign policy statements made as of December 1989 by government officials. It also surveys the internal political situation in Poland in an attempt to judge support for new foreign policy moves. This Note was prepared as part of a larger project describing Soviet dilemmas in Eastern Europe that was undertaken for the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy under RAND's National Defense Research Institute, a federally funded research and development center supported by the Office of the Secretary of Defense. It is part of RAND's International Security and Defense Policy Program. Some of the research was also supported by the RAND/UCLA Center for Soviet Studies.
