ABSTRACT
The key question of this book concerns the impact of the size of the domestic win-set (within public opinion, interest groups and political parties) in Poland on the accession negotiations. This book provides empirical evidence for Putnam’s claim that the size of the win-set depends on such factors as domestic preferences and coalitions, domestic institutions and ratification procedures and finally strategies as used by the Level I negotiator. By this, we can show the impact of domestic pressure on Poland’s negotiation positions towards EU accession.
