Public Seminar presents the Constitutional Crisis in Poland podcast. Our Editor in Chief, Jeffrey Goldfarb, conducted an interview with Jan Smoleński and Elzbieta Matynia. They discussed the continuing crisis in Poland, its apparent transition from democracy. The discussion builds upon an earlier contribution Smoleński published on Public Seminar Jan 25th, 2016.
