Reviews
'Surowiec explores a fascinating and under-researched area - the role played by nation branding in post-communist transition. His work will make a major intervention into debates surrounding transition and Europeanisation. The strength of this book lies in the combination of a sophisticated approach to global issues grounded in a Bourdieusian perspective with a deep knowledge of the national politics and sociology of Poland.' - Stuart Shields, University of Manchester, UK

Readers learn not only about Poland, but also about blending nationalism with neo-liberalism and about adjusting the old-fashioned diplomacy to the digital age.' - Jan Zielonka, Professor of European Politics, St Antony's College, University of Oxford, UK 'I like this book for two reasons. It is stimulating to see Bourdieu's work applied to the investigation of promotional practices. As a Pole, I am delighted to see this careful analysis of institutional discourses of Polishness and the experiences that flow through them.' - Dr Magda Pieczka, Reader in Public Relations, Queen Margaret University, UK
