Why subscribe to PolandWatch

Join a community of readers interested in news and analysis about Poland and the CEE region.

At PolandWatch, I break down the strategies, ruptures, and power shifts that define Poland and Central and Eastern Europe.

The approach is clear explanation and sharp insight.

Poland is my base and the lens through which I read the region. I track how local events echo across borders and set the tone for Europe.

Many of the key battlelines shaping the world – migration, illiberalism, sovereigntism – are being fought for in CEE.

Alongside deep dives into Poland’s politics, you’ll also find regular analysis on the Baltics, Visegrad, the Balkans, and how the East is reshaping Europe’s future.

What to expect:

  • Regular analysis on Polish and CEE politics.

  • Key power signals and shifts explained as they unfold.

  • Original reporting, context and a few strong takes.

  • Special explainers to decode the machinery of state and politics for an international audience.

With over 25 years of experience as a writer, journalist, and analyst present in the region since the 1990s, I bring long-term perspective and on-the-ground understanding

Subscribe now to get clear, in-depth analysis and make sense of the region with me.
