The Warsaw Institute Review
NEW WEBSITE OF THE WARSAW INSTITUTE REVIEW QUARTERLY IS AVAILABLE
The Warsaw Institute Review is a free Polish magazine of the Warsaw Institute Foundation.

The authors of the articles in The Warsaw Institute Review are, on the one hand, analysts and experts, and on the other hand, people who have an active and practical influence on Poland’s political, economic and cultural life.
