POLITICS ROOTED IN HISTORY - MACIEJ DYMKOWSKI

The book "Politics Rooted in History" is a collection of analyses and reflections by Prof. Dr. habil. Maciej Dymkowski on the aspirations and ways of thinking of right-wing politicians who held power in Poland in the recent past. The author analyzes how they dismantled the institutions of liberal democracy and tried to weaken Poland's ties with the West. Their mentality and sensitivity fit into the stream of authoritarian populism, which rejects the legacy of the Enlightenment. Dymkowski sees the roots of this political situation in the peculiarities of national history, especially in the times of the declining Sarmatism and later, when Poles were without their own state for a long time. Among other countries, the author pays special attention to Russia and its imperial policy.
