Perspectives of Europe
The articles in this publication seek to explain some of the fundamental matters connected with the European integration process and will cast light upon several perspectives of European cooperation.

Accountability and the Law
This book discusses contemporary accountability and transparency mechanisms by presenting a selection of case studies. The authors deal with various problems connected to controlling public institutions and incumbents’ responsibility in state bodies. The work is divided into three parts.

Transitional Justice in Poland
In this study of the mechanisms of transitional justice in Poland, Frances Millard asks: How does society come to terms with its past?

Millard argues that the key step in achieving this was uncovering the truth about the previous regime's past, prosecuting the perpetrators of past crimes and providing compensation and restitution for its victims. Through the specific case of ...
