Puchalski demonstrates the intersection between such national policies and larger processes taking place at the time, including the internationalist turn of colonialism and the global fascination with technocratic solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCarefully researched, the volume is key reading for scholars and advanced students of twentieth-century European history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Piotr Puchalski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036767470X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367674700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Piotr Puchalski","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944960557311,"sku":"9780367674700","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_47177f3d-cbec-4a2a-a1fb-84ed42b06909.jpg?v=1681505968","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poland-in-a-colonial-world-piotr-puchalski-9780367674700","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
