Preface
The year 1981 will go down in contemporary Polish history as a year of social renewal. Perhaps it is morę accurate to describe it as a year in which serious attempts were undertaken, both by the government and the independent trade union Solidarity, to initiate urgently needed socioeconomic reforms. In spite of stringent attitudes adopted on both sides, a number of import-ant compromises were reached. The government went a long way towards meeting the nationłs demands. It drafted laws which were, without doubt, landmarks in the process of renewal in socialist Poland. Solidarity also proposed extensive and thoughtful measures which, in the long run, would have helped overcome economic and political stagnation. The pubhVs hopes were, however, dashed when the proclamation of martial law in December 1981 halted the process of renewal.
The stipulations of 1981 belong now to the Polish annals. But they are a precious historical record. They testify to the orginality and dynamism of the Polish mind. The year 1981 will continue to arouse the interest of future generations of historians. It will fascinate them, but also cause them sorrow. Fascination will result from the knowledge of how deeply the Polish nation had been concerned with social renewal; and sorrow will be the consequence of the observation that all these efforts were to no purpose.
I have not even attempted to give a complete picture of this bewitching and hopeful year. I had a limited, rather modest aim in mind: I wanted to describe at length solely the intentions of official and non-official bodies aiming at reforming the current Polish system. It was, therefore, indispensable to include lengthy documents (agendas, draft Bills, laws, memoranda, programmes, etc.) in order to do justice to the points of view of those involved in this process of reform. The present volume will not answer all the ąuestions of the inquisitive reader, but it will, I hope, make him or her aware of the vastness of the problem.
