SIŁY ZBROJNE W STANIE POKOJU, KRYZYSU, WOJNY

Author(s): Bolesław Balcerowicz / Language(s): Polish

"Siły zbrojne w stanie pokoju, kryzysu, wojny" to książka oferująca Czytelnikowi przede wszystkim rzetelną wiedzę o wojsku: zarówno o jego wnętrzu (organizacji, strukturach, funkcjonowaniu), jak i o miejscu oraz znaczeniu w państwie i stosunkach międzynarodowych. Punktem wyjścia do refleksji nad znaczeniem siły w rzeczywistości międzynarodowej jest przedstawienie funkcji działań sił zbrojnych w trzech stanach: pokoju, kryzysu i wojny. Tytułowy kontekst analiz i rozważań ma służyć zrozumieniu tego, że wojsko to nie tylko narzędzie wojenne, lecz także gwarant politycznego porządku, grupa społeczna o specyficznych właściwościach; to istotny instrument stabilizacji bądź destabilizacji środowiska międzynarodowego. Bolesław Balcerowicz wiele uwagi poświęca procesom i kierunkom zmian współcześnie zachodzącym w sferze wojskowości. Głównymi adresatami monografii są studenci stosunków międzynarodowych, dla których ma stanowić swoisty podręcznik przedmiotu „międzynarodowe stosunki wojskowe” i być pomocna w studiach strategicznych. Książka w swojej formule i treściach może stać się również lekturą pożyteczną dla zainteresowanych problematyką bezpieczeństwa i obronności, a także polityką i stosunkami międzynarodowymi.

Author(s): / Language(s): English

Project “Support for European Union action in the field of CBRN security managers education” SE-CBRN-URE is funded by European Commission, The Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs (DG HOME) from Internal Security Fund – Police, call “Implementation of the EU CBRN Action Plan, the EU Action Plan on enhancing the security of explosives and the European programme of critical infrastructure protection”. Total project budget – 684 377 Euro (EU contribution – 615 940 Euro). Grant Agreement No. HOME/2015/ISFP/AG/CBRN/4000008459. Acts of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) terrorism are four new risks that the European public has to take into consideration. With the possibility of these different forms of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) being used in acts of terrorism, an urgent need has arisen to prevent and combat their use. The use of any of the four types of CBRN weapons in acts of terrorism could open the door to the possibility of destabilization of the European Union, and lead to undermining its economic stability, public security and social integrity. An additional problem is the constant threat of explosives, especially home-made devices, which can be used by themselves or as a release mechanism for CBRN agents.

Turbulence in the Post-Cold War Era

Author(s): Stanisław Bieleń / Language(s): English

The author pinpoints the relations between geopolitics and globalisation from the angle of the post-Cold War politically turbulent order. Against this background of a clash between two opposing tendencies – revisionism and defence of the status quo – the author determines the dynamics of the deconcentration of forces in the international system, which is increasingly polycentric and less and less monocentric. He devotes much attention to the identity crisis of the West (from the crisis of US leadership to the depreciation of NATO). He characterizes Russia, with its aspirations to rebuild its superpower status and its imperial mission, as the main geopolitical opponent of the West. Pointing to the contemporary discourse on Russia and the risk of escalating a new confrontation reminiscent of the Cold War era, he critically assesses the consequences of Poland's international policy.

Nigdy u siebie. Socjologia powrotów do grupy własnej

Author(s): Robert Wyszyński / Language(s): Polish

The book describes the local community of the descendants of the Poles who, in 1936, were forced to relocate from the Ukrainian SSR to Northern Kazakhstan. After the fall of the USSR, when the Polish political elites did not take effective steps, the so-called Polish spiecpieresieleńcy made various attempts to repatriate not only within the Polish, but also Russian and German repatriation systems. The multimillion scale and the wide geographical range of the process itself give the author grounds for claiming that the sociology of returns to the own group against the background of other migration directions was clearly distinct.

Transformation of foreign economic Relations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation: 2010–2020

Author(s): I. Veremiy,M. O. Palamarchuk,Ravshan Yuldashev,N. Gavrylenko,G. Shyrokyi,D. Serebryanskyi / Language(s): English

Relations between the Russian Federation (RF) and Ukraine are determined primarily by the interstate armed conflict in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Attempts by Russia to illegally annex the territory of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol in 2014 and their occupation, the armed confrontation in the Donbass determine the long-term nature of the interstate confrontation. // This conflict is asymmetric. For Ukraine, the consequences of the confrontation with Russia are vital, and the course of the conflict affects almost all important social processes. Instead, the Russian leadership views Ukraine primarily as a field of competition with the West in order to "declare the position of the Russian Federation as one of the influential centers of the modern world." // The post-Soviet space is a priority of Russia's foreign policy, simultaneously more importance is attached to cooperation with the states participating in Russia's integration projects. // The Strategy of Economic Security of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030, adopted in 2017, identifies the creation of conditions for the implementation of strategic national priorities of the Russian Federation 3 as a priority for the development of the Russian economy. Thus, the subordination of the economy to the implementation of primarily strategic goals set by the political leadership is stated.
