{"product_id":"polands-kin-state-policies","title":"Poland's Kin-State Policies","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe increased engagement of states with their co-ethnics abroad has recently become one of the most contentious features of European politics. Until recently, the issue has been discussed predominantly within the paradigm of international security; yet a review of the broader European picture shows that kin-state engagement can in fact have a positive societal impact when it actually responds effectively to the claims formulated by co-ethnic communities themselves. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoland's Kin-State Policies: Opportunities and Challenges offers new insights into this issue by examining Poland’s fast-evolving relationship with Polish communities living beyond its borders. Its central focus is the Act on the Polish Card (generally known as \u003ci\u003eKarta Polaka)\u003c\/i\u003e. Tracing policymaking processes and the underlying political agendas that have shaped them, the volume situates Poland’s engagement within broader conceptual and normative debates around kin-state and diaspora politics and explores its reception and impact in neighbouring states (Ukraine, Germany, Lithuania). The volume highlights how the issue of co-ethnics abroad is increasingly being instrumentalised, most especially for the purposes of attracting labour migration to resolve the demographic crisis in Poland. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eEthnopolitics.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54226209440088,"sku":"9781032040295","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032040295.jpg?v=1777094154","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/polands-kin-state-policies","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
