[email protected]. FROM RENAISSANCE POLAND TO POLAND'S RENAISSANCE Daniel H. Cole* THE STRUGGLE FOR CONSTITUTIONALISM IN POLAND. By Mark Brzezinski. New York: St. Martin's Press. 1998. Pp. 276. $49.95. INTRODUCTION 1 Poland is located in Eastern Europe - the "other Europe" - which shares a continent, but seemingly little else, with Western Europe. Most histories of Europe, legal histories included, are ac- tually histories of Western Europe only.2 The "euro-centrism" some scholars complain about is, more accurately, a "western euro- centrism." The eastern half of the continent is ignored like the em- barrassing black sheep of the European family.
