Poland: (Po)Land of opportunity

Abstract

Poland is located in the centre of Europe and this fact alone should be enough to demonstrate the potential of the country. Poland is bordered by Germany to the west (along the Nysa KĜodzka and the Odra Rivers), by the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the south (mountain borders) as well as by Ukraine, Belarus and partially Lithuania to the east. A Russian enclave known as the Kaliningrad Oblast runs along a small part of the Polish border to the north. The rest of the northern border stretches along the sandy coast of the Baltic Sea. © 2011 Gabler Verlag | Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, Wiesbaden.
