In Poland and European East-West Cooperation in the 1970s (Routledge, 2024), Aleksandra Komornicka offers a history of the Polish socialist regime’s opening up towards the West in the 1970s, during which time the regime actively sought out economic and political cooperation with companies located on the other side of the Iron Curtain. Jack Dean writes that Komornicka artfully fills the current gap on this episode of Poland’s economic history.
