"Cztery prezydentury, osiem kadencji parlamentu. Wydarzenia rozciągające się od rozmów Okrągłego Stołu, aż do katastrofy smoleńskiej i drugiej kadencji Donalda Tuska. Historia polityczna Polski 1989–2012 to najbardziej aktualny i fachowy bilans dziejów III Rzeczpospolitej. Antoni Dudek – jeden z najlepszych polskich historyków i politologów – podejmuje rzetelną próbę ukazania współczesnej sytuacji politycznej. Śledzi losy liderów partyjnych i kierowanych przez nich ugrupowań. Rzuca światło na działania poszczególnych rządów oraz kontrowersje otaczające kolejne prezydentury: Lecha Wałęsy, Aleksandra Kwaśniewskiego, Lecha Kaczyńskiego i Bronisława Komorowskiego. Przypomina najważniejsze konflikty ostatniego dwudziestolecia i mierzy się z najbardziej aktualnymi problemami. Pisze przystępnie i rzetelnie. Przede wszystkim zaś stara się uczciwie szukać prawdy."

There is new movement in the discussion about self-determination and statehood. The contested declaration of independence by Kosovo and Russia’s recognition of the purported independence of Abkhasia and South Ossetia have caused significant controversy. These developments may well put an end to the attempt by governments to keep in place the highly restricted doctrine of self-determination that has previously only been made available in the colonial context. This monograph argues that classical self-determination, narrowly conceived in the colonial context. cannot contribute to the resolution of the presently ongoing self-determination conflicts around the world. However, this study finds that over the past few years a new practice of addressing self-determination conflicts has emerged. This practice significantly extends our understanding of the legal right to self-determination and of the means that can be brought to bear in terminating secessionist conflicts.
