The Political Economy of Interwar Foreign Investment: Economic Nationalism and French Capital in Poland, 1918-1939

France was interwar Poland’s main ally, and the biggest source of the country’s foreign investment. In the 1930s dissenting voices compared French actions in Poland to imperialism and colonial expansion. The book untangles the complex mix of economics, policy, and politics in Franco-Polish relations.
