Political transformation in Poland

Political transformation in Poland refers to the shift from a communist regime under Soviet influence to a democratic government after 1989. This process involved dismantling authoritarian structures, establishing free elections, and creating new political institutions. It also included adopting a market economy, integrating with Western organizations like NATO and the European Union, and fostering civil liberties. This transformation marked Poland’s move from a centrally planned system to a pluralistic democracy, greatly impacting its political, economic, and social landscape, and laying the foundation for its current governance and international relations.
