Polish Nationalism in the Face of the Ukraine War

• In Event: Citizens and Beliefs: Ideology and Public Opinion in Comparative Perspective

Abstract

This paper will seek to analyses if the war in Ukraine has had a noticeable effect on Polish nationalism or if the war has driven the poles closer to the EU/European identity. To investigate this we shall examine overall polish government policy as well as public sentiment in Poland on Europe and the Ukraine war. We hope to discover if there has been a significant shift either towards pro polish nationalism or pro EU sentiment.
