SUMMARY
MPP's second issue is primarily devoted to the international policy of the United States. We are pleased to be the first in Poland to publish the entire text of the US's security strategy, a document that - over the upcoming years and beyond - will likely represent the basis of American options in the realm of diplomacy and military affairs. For counterbalance we also present our readers with the critical comments of Ivan Eland, who hails from the CATO Institute. From Europe's Right this issue of MPP boasts the text of the engaging remarks Angela Markel, chairman of Germany's CDU, recently delivered in Warsaw. Thereafter Thomas Donnelly (AEI) and Frederick W. Kagan write on the reorganization of American forces in Europe. Next we present reviews of two important recent books: Robert Kagan's Of Paradise And Power; and Henry Kissinger's Does America Need A Foreign Policy? Turning to European affairs, this issue of MPP provides a detailed analysis of the political and sociological processes at work along the road to Poland's June referendum on EU membership (by Warsaw University's Tomasz Żukowski) and concludes with an analysis by John Fitz Gerald (ESRI, Dublin) of the changes in political economy that Ireland experienced in the period from 1960 to 2000. |
