Poland has been in a phase of change since 2015. The constitutional system of the Third
Republic is being restructured. The Judiciary media schools and universities are the main
focus of attention. This restructure is being celebrated by the government as a renewal of the
Polish state but is being branded by the opposition as the destruction of the Polish Republic
in favour of an illiberal democracy. In this already very difficult situation Poland was
confronted with the major challenges posed by a pandemic. What effects will the crisis have on

acting as a catalyst for those changes. This book aims to provide an informed commentary on
those developments and what they mean for the Third Polish Republic.Poland: Covid-19 as a
