Niniejszy temat kryje w sobie dwa dość obszerne, ale wewnętrznie powiązane zagadnienia. Pierwsze dotyczy obecności zasad etycznych w całości życia społecznego, gospodarczego i politycznego. Istnieje bowiem dzisiaj dość powszechne przekonanie, że polityka (rozumiana jako sztuka rządzenia i kierowania ludźmi) winna się inspirować zasadami etycznymi, gdyż jest wymiarem życia ludzkiego. Nie jest bynajmniej czymś nadrzędnym w stosunku do podstawowych ludzkich działań.

The minifesto titiled "The Polisg imperial idea" described the postulates of Polish conservative circles in the relation to the Polish foreign policy of the late Interbellum period. The international situation wa then unfavorable for Poland, which was a state bordered by two totalitarian powers, displaying the expansionist character. It required the political response guaranteeing the very existence of state and preservation of the possession. The term "imperailism" was to denote the defense of indepedence itself.

The article presents the restructuring and transformation of the Polish arms industry andits research and development base after the end of the Cold War and the beginning of thesystemic transformation, which results in its consolidation in the form of Polska GrupaZbrojeniowa (Polish Armaments Group).

The possibilities and offer of thePolish defense industry and its research and development facilities are also presented.The authors postulate that production of at least some elements of arms purchasedabroad, which our industry is unable to produce on its own, has been transferred toPoland. They also point to the possibility of improving the condition of the Polish armsindustry by raising defense spending to 2.5% of GDP, provided that at least 75% of thenecessary armaments will be produced in the country.

This study tries to shed light on the conflict between the Islamic waqf administration in Jerusalem and the Christian populations of Bethlehem and Beit Jala over the land ownership in these two cities. This conflict emerged in the mid-twentieth century after these people refused to acknowledge that the land in their possession was an Islamic waqf and not private property. The present study attempts to shed light on this legal issue by tracing the historical roots of this conflict and up to the time it was taken to the court for a decision. The main question in this research is: What were the origins of the dispute between the two parties that broke out at this particular time? Why did it not break out before this date? Did the difference in religion have a role in this conflict? Or was it a matter of personal and material interests?

The sacred city of Jerusalem lies at the heart of the political conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. The fact that both societies consider the city as their respective capitals necessitates the resolution of the divergent claims of sovereignty on Jerusalem as the key for the overall settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict. This study addresses the positions of both parties as well as the international community on Jerusalem, which will be analyzed in an in-depth manner, evaluating Jerusalem as a political dispute according to the different protagonists.

In spite of the obvious fact that EU and MERCOSUR are clearly different realities (we are speaking about an intergovernmental organization and, on the other ahand, about a supra-statal structure), the two entities can be compared, mainly because they do have a strong common denominator: that of continuously maintaining a set of strict rules and, above all, that of continuously promoting democracy and respecting human rights by means of using significant institutional elements (some of them described along the pages of the study). The academic framework used as the main tool enabling us to compare EU and MERCOSUR is the so-called „historic institutionalism”, and the author strongly relies on the works of two significant institutionalist writers, James March and Johan Olsen.

The article is trying to investigate which were the reasons that determined the international community to choose decentralization as a mean of transforming Kosovo in a multiethnic democratic society. The special character of decentralization in Kosovo will be emphasized in the article. Asymmetric solutions have been used to accommodate the interests of different groups both in consolidated democracies (see. Spain, United Kingdom) and post-conflict societies. In Kosovo, after a reconstructions process that lasted almost ten years, the international community decided it is high time for the province to move forward towards independence. The asymmetric decentralization was seen as an important aspect in this process and a sine qua non condition for the development of a stable democratic country.

The aim of this paper is to relate some of the main postcolonial issues and key concepts to postcommunist studies and determine their reliability in this juncture. Is postcolonial discourse a suitable source and voice for the former communist area? Where can the two go together and where should they be separated? The author has focused on some brief issues in methodology and society related terms for both discourses, although numerous other directions should be explored.

In a global context whose main feature obviously is the clear need for enhanced global security, global stability and global development, the problem(s) of global governance become(s) more and more important. This quite condensed study explores two different areas: first of all, that of the way in which we can define global governance and the way in which we can understand its basic features. A second chapter is made up of several sound historical examples: some of them offering a vivid image of the capabilities global governance has and of the positive results it can generate; the other ones, on the contrary, offering the reader a sound image of the limits (and failures) of the same global governance (or of its constitutive elements), along the 19th and 20th centuries.

Our present history is characterized by complexity and dynamics. The phenomenon that creates our theoretical and empirical daily environment is globalization. To understand the relation between identity and globalization it is necessary to place ourselves in the hermeneutical site of culture. And this for two reasons. On the one hand, culture is directly affected by globalization and, on the other hand, it is culture that gives people’s community self‐identity.In this study, we try a conceptual clarification of the two terms and we will follow the relationships between them. In general, globalization as a process of civilization, with its basic components ‐ technology, information and interconnections of all social areas ‐ is considered a real danger of the cultural identity of the human community. Starting from the hermeneutics of Arnold Toynbee’s history, we try to identify answers to the challenge of globalization, responses whose comprehension and assumption affect the salvation of the human in us and the identity of our community to which we belong.

This article is an invitation to debate on an actually and very important theme with influence in social, psychological and religious field, we are talking about the effect in human relationship of internet in general and the effect of social network, in special. Facebook is a very useful network, if we see it like a communication facilitator between people, without discrimination regarding nationality, religion, sex, opinion, age or territory, being a part of the ,,big plan” of globalization. Beside of these advantages, we can identify a lot of desadvantages, which are reflecting in the human relationships: the invasion of virtual in the reality and the confusion between them, virtual addiction, people are neglecting the real relationships and the face to face communication. This confusion between real and virtual is historical, like we saw in the iconoclastic controversy.

This paper presents the Romanian protochronism between the years 1965- 1989. By analyzing the social, political and economical context and through several relevant articles, I have traced the implications it had on the society at large. I concluded that the Romanian protochronism is in and out of itself an exaggeration, and an attempt at Romanian exceptionalism, in which the personality cult of the infamous Ceausecu family was demanded, and at times enforced.

Despite rising tensions in East Asia, the Japanese government has not adopted a comprehensive policy, doctrine, or institution for strategic communication (StratCom) to date. The lack of a formal StratCom concept or framework, however, does not mean that Japan is not engaged in strategic communication. The review provided in this article reveals the heavy reliance of the government on the machineries of public diplomacy to communicate its policy and intent, through which it wishes to integrate its messages.Moreover, Japan is an avid practitioner of ‘messaging via deeds’, an aspect hitherto not understood as a Japanese StratCom practice. Japan’s de facto practice of strategic communication reflects the fundamentally political nature of strategic communication,building as it must upon the particular political and historical landscape of the nation,in which the rise of China is a central factor. The analysis outlines the key challenges for Japanese StratCom practice, namely, the danger of miscalculations occurring as a result of uncoordinated messaging, especially via deeds; the ‘say-do gap’ as the government struggles to fulfill some of its aspirations under the rubric of ‘proactive contribution to peace’, and the difficulty of sending coherent messages and avoiding unintended messaging.

Strategic communications is gaining traction as a potent tool of countering insurgency.State and non-state actors—including insurgent groups—are increasingly turning to it in pursuit of their goals. This article offers a comparative study of the use of strategic communications by both the Nigerian Armed Forces and the jihadi group they seek to obliterate: Boko Haram. It also assesses their impact on the media coverage of their activities. The jihadists deployed both their communications skills and their infamies to put their insurgency onto the global scene. The Army employed a range of tools—some effective, some less so—to counter them. The media’s obsession with jihadi stories gave the insurgents an edge, but the Army managed to disrupt most of their strategies.Extraneous factors do influence strategic communications campaigns, but honesty—or the perception of it—is a necessary condition for their long-term efficacy.

Do influence campaigns based on data-driven psychological profiling work? Both Cambridge Analytica and a significant part of the campaign apparatus for the UK to leave the EU appeared to think so. That is, until they didn’t.

On the walls of the Musée Anne-de-Beaujeu in Moulins, a small town in the Auvergne, hangs a striking painting. It’s called La Vérité or, more descriptively, ‘La Vérité sortant du puits armée de son martinet pour châtier l’humanité’—‘Truth emerging from the well armed with her whip to chastise mankind.’ Truth, in the painting, is naked; rendered almost photographically; and if her eyes and mouth, fixed in a barking rebuke, are anything to go by, she is angry. Very angry.
