The book aims to reconstruct and analyze the disputes over the Polish-Jewish past and memory in public debates in Poland between 1985 and 2012. The analysis includes the course and dynamics of the debates and, most importantly, the panorama of opinions revealed in the process.
Księga dedykowana Profesorowi Mirosławowi Sułkowi Wydanie tej pracy uważam za świetny pomysł. Nie tylko jako „księgi rocznicowej” dla znakomitej postaci polskiej nauki o stosunkach międzynarodowych i Profesora Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, ale przede wszystkim dla przypomnienia i promowania specyficznego obszaru wiedzy, czasami nazywanego u nas – chyba z niepotrzebną ironią – „potęgologią” (właśc. potęgometrią), czyli nauką o potędze, albo sile, albo mocy: w stosunkach międzynarodowych, w polityce. prof. Wojciech Kostecki Jest to zbiorowa monografia, która zawiera artykuły odnoszące się generalnie do pozycji państw, rozumianej jako miejsce w hierarchii państw. Dotyczy polityki bezpieczeństwa w ujęciu geopolitycznym oraz niezmiernie istotnych i aktualnych problemów, podejmowanych z punktu widzenia oceny i znaczenia potęgi państw w ładzie międzynarodowym współczesnego świata. Dziedzina politologii, którą zajmuje się Profesor Mirosław Sułek jest niebywale istotna. Profesor należy do grona najwybitniejszych badaczy i uznanych autorytetów w zakresie potęgonomii i potęgometrii w Polsce i poza jej granicami. prof. Krzysztof Miszczak

This book is a comprehensive study of cooperation among the advanced capitalist countries. Can cooperation persist without the dominance of a single power, such as the United States after World War II? To answer this pressing question, Robert Keohane analyzes the institutions, or "international regimes," through which cooperation has taken place in the world political economy and describes the evolution of these regimes as American hegemony has eroded. Refuting the idea that the decline of hegemony makes cooperation impossible, he views international regimes not as weak substitutes for world government but as devices for facilitating decentralized cooperation among egoistic actors. In the preface the author addresses the issue of cooperation after the end of the Soviet empire and with the renewed dominance of the United States, in security matters, as well as recent scholarship on cooperation.
International regimes have been a major focus of research in international relations for over a decade. Three schools of thought have shaped the discussion: realism, which treats power relations as its key variable; neoliberalism, which bases its analysis on constellations of interests; and cognitivism, which emphasizes knowledge dynamics, communication, and identities. Each school articulates distinct views on the origins, robustness, and consequences of international regimes. This book examines each of these contributions to the debate, taking stock of, and seeking to advance, one of the most dynamic research agendas in contemporary international relations. While the differences between realist, neoliberal and cognitivist arguments about regimes are acknowledged and explored, the authors argue that there is substantial scope for progress toward an inter-paradigmatic synthesis.
