Since the fall of Communism in 1989, Poland has once been viewed as the most successful example of the democratic transition and European integration among former Eastern bloc nations. In the wake of 2015’s refugee crisis, however, a full-outbreak of Poland’s political right-wing movement with their radical anti-refugee/immigrant rhetoric, led by ‘Law and Justice’ (PiS), has already become the most striking political phenomenon in Europe since WWII’s fascism and posed a comprehensive challenge to the modern western system of liberal democracies. From a wider context of Poland’s unique politics, culture, and history, this article aims to understand the intricate relationships among the securitization of the refugee crisis, the radical anti-refugee/immigrant rhetoric, and today’s hegemony of Poland’s political right-wing, commonly labeled by mainstream media as populist, nationalist or illiberal democratic.
