This article aims to evaluate the fi rst decade of Poland’s membership in the European Union. The analysis covers three major aspects: modernisation of the economy, state administration, and shaping a democratic political system. The article attempts to show that the processes of EU integration resemble a ‘golden straitjacket’ – a garment that seems desirable and even resplendent, but turns out to be a constraint on freedom.
