Between East and West
The memory of the living and the dead was part of the functioning of monastic and secular communities, dynasties and aristocratic families. The relationship of debitores and fundatores is key to understanding the “mentality” of the era of the formation of Imperium Christianum. The donations made “pro remedio animae nostre et genitoris nostris” indicate the memorial function of transferring the prayer duties of the power elites (or whole groups and communities) to the clergy and illustrate the belief of medieval people in the importance of intercessory prayer. This volume is a memoir of the Piasts and Boleslaw the Brave on the 1000th anniversary of his coronation. It symbolically closes the study of the millennium of the baptism of Poland (966–1966) and opens the study of the early Middle Ages in Poland and Central Europe.
Models of European Civil Society
The following volume is devoted to the issues of European models of civil societies. The aim of the authors is not to exhaust the whole topic but to bring forward some studies related to the civil society, both in the historical but also present perspective. Civil society is an important factor in a well-functioning state and crucial for developing a real, active and conscious community, which is able to control the state and its’ servants. Even more importantly, when the state fails to react to negative developments or leaders misuse their power to enforce it in fulfilling its duties, and in the most radical, or dramatic cases to replace it or change the governors. Democratic order gives the society enough tools to do this and the internet, social media and other new means of communication improve the level of self-organisation and shorten the time for potential reactions.

Komunikacja międzykulturowa w polityce. Relacje między Stanami Zjednoczonymi a Japonią w latach 1932–1952
Komunikacja międzykulturowa zyskuje coraz większe zainteresowanie nie tylko wśród teoretyków, lecz również wśród osób zaciekawionych odmiennościami kulturowymi. Niejednokrotnie okazuje się, że spotkanie z „innością” bywa wyzwaniem, które wymaga odpowiedniego przygotowania oraz zrozumienia i zaakceptowania, że „inny” jest „innym”, a nie „mną”. Takich trudności doświadczają turyści nierozumiejący obcego języka, niepotrafiący docenić nieznanych kulinarnych przysmaków czy zaakceptować niezrozumiałych dla nich zachowań. Z takimi problemami spotykają się także politycy i dyplomaci – ich nieprzygotowanie do kontaktu z „innym” i jego „inności...
