11. Department of Political Studies
Good morning, my name is Krzysztof Kozłowski and I am the Head of the
Department of Political Studies at the Warsaw School of Economics. I have the
great pleasure of working with and leading a team that has managed to develop
its own status within a few years and fits well in the field that interests it
the most – international relations and politics. We also do not shy away from
economic issues, although we always link them to political issues. In order to
save this page from being a dead letter in cyberspace, we decided to create an
additional link where you can find our assessment of the current international
situation and domestic events. Since we often appear in the media, writing
texts accessible to readers is not a problem for us.
I invite you to cooperate
and wish you all the best,
Professor Krzysztof Kozłowski, PhD, Head of the
Department of Political Studies

Commission Decision for an indefinite period and its activities in the years
2016-2019 will be financed by the European Union under the Erasmus + program.
The distinction awarded by the European Commission is extremely prestigious
because it is part of the highest level of the Jean Monnet program, launched in
1989, to stimulate teaching, research and debate in the field of European
integration studies at the level of higher education institutions not only in
Within the European Union, but also globally, in non-EU countries. There are
currently nearly 200 Centers of Excellence in the world and the Jean Monnet
Center of Excellence is set up at one of the two institutions set up by the EC
decision in 2016 in the EU Member States of Central and Eastern Europe and one
in 15 across the European Union, Canada, Japan and Korea.
