| Short summary of activities and expertise | The Institute’s mission is to conduct high-level multidisciplinary research that investigates political and social change at the crossroads between East and West. In its early days, ISPPAN focused predominantly on both theoretical and empirical study of post-communist societies from a comparative perspective as well as on the transformation of the political system. This research agenda was set and promoted by the founder and first director of the Institute – Prof. Edmund Wnuk-Lipinski, a leading Polish sociologist and advisor of the Solidarity trade union. Our studies of the political and socio-economic transformation in Poland are embedded in in-depth historical reflection on the resistance and opposition movements during the II World War and under communism. Joint teams of historians and political scientists study Poland’s relations with Germany on the one hand, and the Soviet Union (Russia and Ukraine) on the other, both before and after 1989. The regional outlook on Central and Eastern Europe complements this research agenda. Political change at the regional and global level is addressed by teams of scholars working on international security, European integration and East Asia. Finally, a political-philosophical perspective complements our efforts to explain the ongoing political and social transformations in the XX and XXI centuries. The Institute awards doctoral degrees in sociology and political science as well as habilitation in political science. |
