What emerges from the diverse analyses included here, stemming from different experiences and different perspectives in analysis and interpretations of various phenomena, is not so much the image of an unidentifies political object as of an object of care, or even concern. The authors make it clear, every one of them in their own way, that the EU and its Meber States, including Poland, are facing new problems and challenges and that European integration - and this is something new - now is no longer strugling with a single crisis but with several overlapping crises at the same time. In effect, in this situation we can no longer remain in the previous `from crisis to crisis` scenario, as if we want to save the EU and the entire integration process, we need to put forward new ideas and solutions.--
