Abstract

This paper departs from the issue of whether individual level of analysis can explain the policy of the Polish Eastern Partnership. This becomes problematic when the analytical sharpness is challenged to consolidate the personality, personal experience, perceptions, ideology, and nature of Donald Tusk with his Eastern Partnership policy. So in this case a thorough explanation of personal life is needed, such as how the dynamics of Tusk's interaction with his family and city of birth can have a significant influence on the formation of his character, coupled with his educational background and intellectual ability, and his first contact with communist politics that can create the riots made him a pro-democratic figure. Using the human nature perspective, idiosyncretic behavior, and organizational behavior, the authors explain the existing relationships of the three perspectives with Donald Tusk's personality, perceptions, and behavior.
