Polish liberalism has generally been considered weak or nonexistent. Janowski, however, argues that 19th century Poland inherited a strong protoliberal tradition and that in mid-19th century, liberalism was dominant in Polish intellectual life.

This title provides the first detailed, empirically based examination from a structural and organizational perspective of the new parties and political groupings that have emerged in Poland since the collapse of Communism in 1989.

This work addresses the widely held belief that liberal democracy embodies an uneasy compromise of incompatible values - those of liberal rights on the one hand, and democratic equality on the other.
