Rok 2011 był dla polskiej polityki zagranicznej wyjątkowo sprzyjający. Dobre wyniki makroekonomiczne w porównaniu z innymi krajami UE pozwoliły rządowi polskiemu na dumne przechadzki po europejskich salonach. Wiosna arabska pokrzyżowała nieco plany polskiej prezydencji, ale jak na ironię losu dała też dodatkowy impuls dla flagowego projektu polskiej dyplomacji – promocji demokracji w Europie Wschodniej.

.INFO: The EU-US security and justice agenda in action (Book)
Over the last ten years, several EU-US agreements have been concluded on issues like mutual legal assistance, personal data exchanges or transfers of financial data. The trend towards increasing transatlantic integration in the security domain has seen the emergence of new policy instruments which have often been criticised for their lack of transparency and accountability. This has given rise to a serious debate concerning data protection and civil liberties.

.INFO: The Agenda for the EU-US strategic partnership (Book)
Nothing is more imperative for EU foreign policy than defining a common agenda with the US.

.INFO: EU foreign policy: More for more, or more of the same?
Almost a week ago, the Polish EU presidency proudly announced that over 500 media representatives had asked for accreditation to attend the Eastern Partnership Summit in Warsaw on 29 and 30 September. From the outset it was clear the meeting was mainly a PR exercise and an opportunity for the Polish government to revive one of its pet ideas, especially in the context of elections coming up on 9 October.
Commentators in Poland were not easy on their foreign minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, calling the lack of a joint declaration on Belarus a "failure of Polish diplomacy." So what should European leaders learn from this summit?

.INFO: Ten years after 9/11, fears trump freedoms
The commemoration of 10 years since the attacks of 9/11 is an opportunity to both remember the victims and their families and to reflect on the evolution of our society since those tragic events.
We can all recall the day the towers of the World Trade Center were attacked, but the memories of life before that day seem to be fading away. This is perhaps the reason why news of Osama bin Laden's death was for some a reason for celebration. Repeated triumphalist shouts in front of the White House felt improper. (...)
