Dealing with a Juggernaut

Joanna A. Gorska's Dealing with a Juggernaut: Analyzing Poland's Policy towards Russia, 1989-2009 is the first substantial study of Poland's foreign policy interaction with its more powerful eastern neighbor, Russia. This book, contrary to other mainstream analyses, provides empirical evidence arguing that Poland pursued a cooperative policy towards its eastern neighbor and that this policy was shaped by material power considerations rather than identity-related factors. Dealing with a Juggernaut challenges established interpretations of Poland's Russia policy and adds to the literature on Polish foreign policy, Polish-Russian relations, and regional cooperation.
