Global Political Leadership

Global Political Leadership explores contemporary shifts in leadership, and the related leadership crisis, in the global world. Globalization is now perceived as a threatening and hostile force, with many of its advocates and political supporters turning away from it, but its processes cannot be reversed. New powers emerge, old ones re-emerge, and uncertainty about the future global order is increasing. This book tells the inside stories of global power games and asks important questions about the leadership crisis in the western world. The author provides an interpretative framework for contemporary shifts within the western political sphere based on the concept of global leadership. This f...

In today's turbulent global landscape, the proliferation of local and regional conflicts presents a formidable challenge to policymakers and scholars alike. From the War in Yemen to the Civil War in Syria, these conflicts not only have a devastating toll on human lives but also threaten the stability of the international order. As the world grapples with the complexities of post-Cold War geopolitics, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive framework to understand and address these pressing issues. Exploring the Implications of Local and Regional Conflicts is a groundbreaking resource meticulously curated for academics and professionals in current affairs and security studies. This essential volume offers a multidimensional analysis of critical conflicts, shedding light on their underlying dynamics and implications for global power dynamics. Drawing from disciplines such as geoeconomics, geopolitics, and security studies, it equips readers with the analytical tools needed to navigate the complexities of this turbulent world.

Poland in Transatlantic Relations after 1989

This volume brings together a number of scholars from a variety of disciplines to examine the phenomenon of the transformation of Poland within the context of regional and global power relations, focusing in particular on analyses of the country’s political and social development within the area of transatlantic relations. It provides a distinct view on the current dynamics and future perspectives of the transatlantic alliance. At a time when the story of Poland as the shining example of post-Communist success and European integration has been interrupted, several other leading narratives of the Western world also appear to be in danger: western values cannot be considered to be universal,...

NATO operations have expanded, and the old Cold War concept of every nation provides its own medical support is no longer tenable, nor is it NATO policy. In the future, NATO medical care will be provided on a multinational basis, especially in case of emergencies such as NATO response to natural or man-made disasters or to terrorist actions.

On the Idea of Humanitarian Intervention

This study launches a systematic inquiry into the nature of the concept of humanitarian intervention, focusing on its primary function of the protection of the endangered civilian populations who find themselves at the grave risk of genocide. This is strengthened by a recollection of selected historical examples of similar events and the responses to them by the international community, empowered by our modern understanding of the principle of state sovereignty, human rights, and anti-genocide legislation. Applying the in-statu-nascendi ontology that accounts for the latest hybridized compartmentalization of various IR-related theories, the author provides a deep ontological inquiry into the nature, origin, and genesis of the idea of humanitarian intervention and opens up a broader debate on the limits of the principle of state sovereignty as well as on the international community’s ignorance of some of the most severe cases of human rights abuses around the world.
