metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The aim of the article is to analyse the strategic choices made in international relations
  by a smaller state that does not has the status of great powers and participates within the
  structures of the European Union. In the theoretical part of this article, a survey of selected
  theories presents the role of smaller states and their basic geopolitical strategic choices. It
  seems that the most commonly used strategy for smaller states is bandwagoning, i.e. attaching
  oneself to a great power in exchange for support and protection. Another basic strategy is
  called balancing. It is usually defined as an attempt to balance the influence and geopolitical
  clout of an overly strong actor. The variant of balancing is an attempt to build an alternative
  geopolitical core, composed of smaller countries in the region. Another variant is an attempt to
  “bind” powers in a framework of institutionalized international cooperation, preferably in the
  EU. An important strategy is buck-passing, which involves pushing responsibility to others. Yet
  another is appeasement, which involves giving in to the demands of the dominant state, and
  final approach may be the accumulation of wealth. In the empirical part, Poland’s geopolitical
  strategy is analysed, taking into account the European integration in that strategy.
