Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the biography of Ludwik Ehrlich, with special emphasis on the links between this personage and the International Relations as the scientific discipline. L. Ehrlich is a prized researcher of international public and constitutional law. His merits in the education of diplomats in the interwar Poland have been recently acknowledged. However, his activity connected to creating the foundation of the International Relations in Poland during his work in Lviv (1936-39) and Krakow (1946-1949) is still only poorly and partially known. A short overview of the discipline’s history in interwar period opens the article. It enables the presentation of how L. Ehrlich’s scientific activity was connected to the development of the International Relations in the discussed period. A special emphasis is put on his organizational and editorial activity, research, domestic and international cooperation in the 1930s. The contexts of his book published in 1947 and titled Introduction to International Relations are presented. This monograph sums up his previous activity in this discipline.
