Overview
Poland's continued success as a free-market democracy and constructive regional player will have a major impact on American national interests and security in Europe. Poland is by far the world's largest and most significant example of successful transformation into a democratic market-oriented society. The success of U.S. foreign policy goals in NATO, Europe, and the nations emerging from communism is bound up with Poland's success. Poland joined NATO in 1999 and the European Union in May 2004.
Between 1990 and 2000, USAID delivered more than $1 billion to support Poland in its transformation from communism to a market-oriented democracy. Although the USAID Mission in Warsaw closed its doors in 2000, the legacy of USAID development assistance has endured.
