Good Neighbourhood Treaties of Poland
This volume explores the bilateral treaties concluded after 1990 between the Republic of Poland and its neighbouring states (Germany, then-Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, the Russian Federation, Belarus and Lithuania), known as treaties on neighbourly relations or good neighbourhood treaties. These treaties, through which Poland and its neighbours were able to establish their political, security and social relations, were extremely significant in that they provided a unique way for them to organise their interstate post-Cold War relations. This book analyses the consequences of these treaties and addresses a variety of issues, including security policy and cooperation, migration, national minority rights, economic cooperation, education, and cross-border cooperation.
British Policy Towards Poland, 1944–1956
This book examines the outcome of the British commitment to reconstitute a sovereign Polish state and establish a democratic Polish government after the Second World War. It analyses the wartime origins of Churchill’s commitment to Poland, and assesses the reasons for the collapse of British efforts to support the leader of the Polish opposition, Stanisław Mikołajczyk, in countering the attempt by the Polish communist party to establish one-party rule after the war. This examination of Anglo-Polish relations is set within the broader context of emerging early Cold War tensions. It addresses the shift in British foreign policy after 1945 towards the US, the Soviet Union and Europe, as Bri...
The Routledge Handbook of Soft Power
The Routledge Handbook of Soft Power (2nd Edition) offers a comprehensive, detailed, and ground-breaking examination of soft power – a key factor in cultural diplomacy, cultural relations, and public diplomacy. Interrogating soft power as influence, the handbook examines manifestations in media, public mind, policy, and theory – in a fraught geopolitical climate, one demanding reconceptualization of soft power’s role in state and civic society behaviour. Part I provides important new conceptualization and critical analysis of soft power from international relations, philosophical, and other social theoretical perspectives; analyses multiple methods of soft power measurement and makes p...
Peace at All Costs
Although it was characterized by simmering international tensions, the early Cold War also witnessed dramatic instances of reconciliation between states, as former antagonists rebuilt political, economic, and cultural ties in the wake of the Second World War. And such efforts were not confined to official diplomacy, as this study of postwar rapprochement between Poland and West Germany demonstrates. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Peace at All Costs follows Polish and German non-state activists who attempted to establish dialogue in the 1950s and 1960s, showing how they achieved modest successes and media attention at the cost of more nuanced approaches to their national histories and identities.

Studia nad potęgą państw
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
Religion as Securitization in Central and Eastern Europe
Religion as Securitization in Central and Eastern Europe examines the significance of securitization theory as a reference point in understanding current religious, socio-cultural, and political processes in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). It explores contemporary social processes and discourses on security linked to religion and religious institutions. CEE has experienced many confluences of security issues with religious interpretations and world views. For instance, the international refugee and migration crisis could not be separated from the counterpoint between Christianity and Islam in political discussions. Similarly, the debates on LGBT family recognition and the traditional famil...
