“…During the Polish presidency, the European Endowment for Democracy was established. Poland has also been strongly involved in advocating EU-Ukraine talks, and since the 2014 Ukrainian crises it has been a particularly vivid advocate of Ukraine in Europe and NATO (Kugiel, 2011;Mikulova & Berti, 2013;Pomorska & Vanhoonacker, 2012). At the same time, however, the ongoing conflicts in Palestine, the Middle East and other parts of the world remain marginal in Polish foreign affairs.…”

The EADI Global Development series reflects the multi-disciplinary character of EADI member institutes and the association at large. The series seeks to broaden our understanding of the processes that advance or impede human development, whether from a political, economic, sociological or anthropological perspective. EADI's mission is to inform students of development, international relations, and area studies, the academic and policy research and teaching community, development administration, professional training and practice. Development research is characterized by its interdisciplinary approach and its interest in a strong link between theory, policy and practice. The series invites book manuscripts emanating from EADI working group activities, EADI conferences and EADI research projects, but is also open to external submissions.

“…On the whole the budget was relatively generous compared to that of other countries for which data are available: Lithuania's budget was around €62 million in 2013, Ireland's around €45 million in 2013 (half of what was spent during its presidency in 2004) and Spain's around €55 million in 2010 (Heywood, ; Laffan, ; Vilpišauskas, ). Only Poland adopted a generous budget of around €100 million (Pomorska and Vanhoonacker, ).…”

“…At a formal level, the NMS have started to perform roles in which they both practically and symbolically represent the EU, thus increasing their official status (Copsey -Pomorska 2013;Roth 2011). A typical example is the rotating presidency: of the NMS, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Lithuania and Latvia have so far served as presidency countries (see, for example, Pomorska -Vanhoonacker 2012or Vilpišauskas 2013.…”

This study analyses the status of the new EU member states and, in particular, Poland as it is perceived by the representatives of the older EU members. On a theoretical level, it argues that the transformation of the newcomers into “normal players” or even “regional leaders” is dependent on five specific conditions that each of these countries must fulfil. These range from (1) simple compliance with the EU’s basic norms and (2) a sufficient level of orientation in EU decision-making to (3) establishment of the country’s unique policy expertise, (4) the ability to create winning coalitions and finally and above all (5) a willingness to defend the interests of the Union as a whole. On an empirical level, we draw on an extensive set of interviews with diplomats belonging to the permanent representation of the old member states in Brussels. Based on these data, we conclude that (1) Poland has already established itself as a normal EU player fully comparable with the older member states. In terms of the country’s leadership status, (2) Poland has also moved to the position of frontrunner among the new member states. However, the country still fails in at least one criterion: (regional) leadership. This precludes it from becoming a fully respected and leading state in the EU.
