Governments and international institutions swiftly acted in response to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, recognizing the urgent need to mitigate the detrimental effects on citizens' lives, health, and the economy. The immediate objective was to contain the spread of the virus and alleviate the strain on the economy caused by the necessary restrictions. However, the long-term vision was to prevent the resurgence of cases, facilitate the lifting of social restrictions, reboot the economy, and restore a sustainable path of growth and development.

This comprehensive economic and legal analysis examines the pandemic's impact in the Polish context, exploring Polish society and the economy alongside the response of the Polish authorities. The selection of Poland as the research subject is driven by its unique characteristics. On the one hand, Poland is undergoing a significant systemic transformation, benefiting from access to European and transatlantic institutions. On the other hand, in recent years, it has shifted towards a hybrid democracy, gradually distancing itself from the EU project. The book delves into Poland's legal and institutional response to the pandemic, analyzing it through the lens of common European values and Poland's international commitments. It provides insights into the financial solutions adopted by the EU in the aftermath of the outbreak to assess their potential for combating the short-term and long-term consequences of the pandemic in Poland.

This book serves as an introductory guide to original research, shaped by the novelty of the pandemic's subject matter. It is an essential resource for students and scholars of economics, law, and international relations, offering valuable insights into the multifaceted challenges and opportunities posed by this global crisis.
