KUZ´NIAR, Roman. The 1989 Spring of Nations: transforming the basics of Polish foreign policy. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2009, n.23, pp.21-37. ISSN 1645-9199.
To examine the international situation of the second half of the eighties as a factor impacting changes in Poland we must consider three developments: US President Ronald Reagan's policies, the internal breakdown of the communist system together with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's attempts to halt this breakdown through reforms, and the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. Both an omen and a symptom of world communism's crisis was the rise of Solidarity. Poland's battle to regain full sovereignty had yielded a result that would have been unthinkable just three to four years earlier, on the eve of the Central European Spring of Nations of 1989.
