Abstract

In this chapter, the authors position Poland on the map of differentiated integration, explaining how it found itself in today’s environment vis-à-vis the EU’s inner core. The selection of Poland as a case study in this analysis is determined not only by the size of the country, measured as territory, its population, or the potential of its economy. It is justified by the relative size of Poland proportionally to other states and economies of the EU’s east flank region. In this sense, Poland can be treated as a critical case, because it constituted more than half of the 2004 enlargement, and to this day remains the largest EU economy outside the Eurozone localized in the Central European region – between Germany and Russia, as well as the Baltic Sea and Scandinavia in the North, down to the Balkans in the South.
