摘要

This paper aims at presenting the Central and Eastern European perspective on the problem of the decolonization of International Relations and Development Studies, with a special focus on the largest country in the region, namely Poland. Decolonization is usually associated with the Global South, and the Global East is often omitted. But we should bear in mind that Poland has been under colonial rule or partitioned for a total of 123 years, with certain parts of Poland being under foreign control for much longer and similar history is shared by other Central and Eastern European countries. There are significant differences between the Global South and the Global East (including CEE countries), both in terms of the historical development of knowledge, and currently available resources. It is argued that Central and Eastern Europe, including Poland, is a semi-peripheral region and that its colonial past represents an important hurdle to being included in the core of knowledge production in both International Relations and Development Studies.
