The global financial crisis 2008+ and the euro area crisis highlighted how fragile the institutional set-up of today’s world is. Moreover, these crises reminded us that questions of international collaboration and multilateralism as well as questions of security, in all its dimensions, remain as valid as ever. Taking these observations as a point of departure, this paper asks the question of how these twin-crises and their implications influenced the ENP and its effi cacy. To this end, an integrated two-pronged approach to the study of the ENP is employed to gain a more comprehensive insight into the ENP, its evolution and the impact it can actually exert on the EU’s neighbourhood.

Poland’s Eastern policy is the result of the lack of a coherent concept, a return to the tradition of martyrdom and heroism, an ideologization in the form of missionarism and Prometheanism, and a confrontational attitudes towards Russia. The lack of a critical reflection over the chances for the normalization of relations with the largest country in the East is largely a result of ignoring our own national interest. The Polish political elites uncritically acquiesce to U.S. visions related to the encirclement and fragmentation of Russia. In this way, Poland becomes, at its own request, a hostage to foreign geostrategic concepts. Obstacles on the way to the normalization of Polish-Russian relations are subjective and objective. They find expression in each other’s attitudes, emotions and psychology, as well as the asymmetry of power and interests advanced by each party. Opportunities for the normalization of Polish-Russian relations should be sought in taking advantage of the mechanisms and experiences of Europeanization, i.e. Poland’s participation in the team play within the European Union. The condition for success is cooperative thinking, based on an accommodative strategy, and not a confrontational one, allowing for a re-evaluation of the negative ideological past to reach positive and pragmatic cooperation.
