This publication is the result of a project aimed at promoting European values and reflecting on the role of the European Union in shaping contemporary societies. Organised on Europe Day in the crucial year of the 20th anniversary of Poland’s accession to the European Union and the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Institute of European Studies, the project provided a platform for social dialogue, education and collective commemoration of these important milestones.

On 27 June a new report on relations between the UK and its neighbours was published. The report provides analysis of UK and European perspectives, and contributions from leading specialists from 16 European states, all members of the ‘Living with the Neighbours Observatory’ project.
Dr Natasza Styczyńska and Volodymyr Posviatenko from the Institute of European Studies wrote the analysis of British-Polish relations.

​This book addresses the variety of right-wing illiberal populism which has emerged in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Against the backdrop of weak institutional traditions, frequent and profound transformations, and deep historical traumas affecting the law, politics, economy and society in the region, the book critically examines the entanglements of legality in the region's transformation from state socialism to neoliberalism and Western-style democracy.
