´Since 2004 the number of EU Member States has almost doubled, growing from 15 to 28. As the President of the European Commission that has managed this expansion I know that the significance of this extends well beyond arithmetic: it is our mind-sets that have changed. Kaminska´s book offers a deep insight into this fascinating process that is so difficult to capture: how the Polish interests, policies, and negotiation strategies transformed in the last ten years and how Poland moved from policy-taker to a genuine policy-shaper.´ - José Manuel DurÆo Barroso, President, The European Commission

´Poland and EU Enlargement is a fascinating study of Poland´s place in the EU´s foreign and security policy. In exploring both the impact of the EU´s role on Poland´s foreign policy and the extent of Poland´s influence on the EU´s external relations it is the most comprehensive assessment of Poland´s foreign policy transition to date.´ - Richard G. Whitman, University of Kent, UK
