In particular, it is interested in the populist moments of lustration and de-communization, and also after October 2015 when the right-wing Law and Justice party (PiS) won the parliamentary and presidential elections in Poland. The main argument is that even though legitimate considerations of lustration and de-communization play a role, a number of policies dealing with transitional justice are related to populist mobilization by the PiS. Against this background, the chapter discusses how far the transitional justice has been accompanied by the process of reframing the political memory about the guilt, suffering, and righteousness during communism. Populist legitimation aims at reconfiguring the public discourse on the transitional justice in a way that it is used to justify controversial public policies in tune with the interest of the groups currently in power, which present themselves as the true voice of the people. The core of the article deals with three main aspects of Polish memory games: (1) the meandering of lustration (mainly with regard to the position of the PiS/Law and Justice and PO/Civic Platform - the largest Polish political parties since 2005), (2) the lustration as the function of power, and (3) the role of the Institute of National Remembrance as a case of institutionalized memory games.}, language = {en} } @article{Karolewski2016, author = {Karolewski, Ireneusz Pawel}, title = {Der pebiszit{\"a}re Zerfall Europas?}, series = {WeltTrends : das außenpolitische Journal [24 (2016), 118]}, volume = {24}, journal = {WeltTrends : das außenpolitische Journal [24 (2016), 118]}, number = {113}, publisher = {WeltTrends}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {11 -- 14}, year = {2016}, language = {de} } @article{Karolewski2010, author = {Karolewski, Ireneusz Pawel}, title = {Challenges to the external identity making in the European Union}, series = {WeltTrends-Papiere}, journal = {WeltTrends-Papiere}, number = {15}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1864-0656}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-62953}, pages = {43 -- 61}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Inhalt: Introduction: The problem at hand Approaches to EU's external identity making Mechanisms of external identity making Theoretical approaches to the EU's external identity making The EU's external identity promotion The ENP policy instruments Conclusions References}, language = {en} } @misc{Karolewski2007, author = {Karolewski, Ireneusz Pawel}, title = {B{\"u}rgerschaft und kollektive Identit{\"a}t in Europa}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-13418}, year = {2007}, abstract = {In Auseinandersetzung mit dem Konzept kollektiver Identit{\"a}t werden drei B{\"u}rgerschafts-Modelle (republikanisches, liberales und c{\"a}sarisches) diskutiert.
