Is Poland quietly entering its next Golden Age — and what might prevent it from getting there? | OKP #3
from OllieKayPolitical · host Ollie Kay
In this episode, I explore Poland’s rise through a tough, strategic lens: economic convergence, EU positioning, infrastructure and supply chains, energy security, and the shift toward serious deterrence on NATO’s eastern flank. Then we go into the risks that could quietly cap Poland’s future: demographics, innovation challenges, regional divides, information warfare, and the political duopoly that can corrode trust in institutions over time.Next episode: Why Poles can appear reserved about forming “new” alliances beyond reliable partners - why that’s often misread in the West—and the historical logic that explains this mindset.SOURCES
