Poland's Self-Limiting Revolution

Focusing on the political dynamics that sparked the Polish "revolution" and the emergence of Solidarity, the author provides a critical analysis of postwar East Central Europe. Jadwiga Staniszkis, a key adviser during the Gdansk shipyard strikes, offers real-time interpretations of events while maintaining a detached perspective on the Solidarity movement. Her insights reflect a deep sociological understanding, blending personal involvement with a broader analytical framework that highlights the complexities of this pivotal historical moment.
