The power difference between the two countries and France’s raw materials and infrastructure investments in Poland gaverise to imperialist interpretations of Polish-French economic relations. In this text, I analyse the history of a railway concession granted in 1924 to a Polish-French consortium by the government in Warsaw. I show that even within the asymmetrical context of Polish-French relations, the weaker side had room for manoeuvre during the negotiations. On occasion, the success of the ventures of French companies’ depended on decisions taken in Warsaw.}, type={Text}, title={Pierwsza francusko-polska koncesja kolejowa z 1924 roku : przyczynek do relacji finansowo-gospodarczych Polski i Francji po I wojnie światowej}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/Content/232464/PDF/WA303_269264_A52-KH-R-128-3_Lazor.pdf}, volume={128}, number={3}, journal={Kwartalnik Historyczny}, publisher={Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History Polish Academy of Sciences}, keywords={railway concessions, economic diplomacy, imperialism, Poland, France, interwar period, Poland - foreign economic relations - France - 1900-1945, France - foreign economic relations - Poland - 1900-1945, Poland - economic conditions - 1918-1945, railroads - Poland - history - 1900-1945}, }
