    Bliski Wschód 2011: bunt czy rewolucja?
    (Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2011) Zdanowski, Jerzy
    Timely, Middle East 2011: Rebellion or Revolution? looks at the roots of the historic uprisings sweeping the Middle East and offers a vision of how this upheaval will transform the Arab World and the world as a whole. Jerzy Zdanowski, Professor in Middle Eastern Studies, is asking what has taken place in the Middle East: a revolution or a rebellion? Answering this question, he refers to economy, society and culture of the Middle East, and stresses that the Arab Spring is a result of processes of long durée, namely erosion of patriarchalism, emancipation of women and sexual revolution, conflicts between generations, transformation of patterns of consumption, and emergence of new drama, poetry and music in the Arab world. Cultural anthropology indicates evidences of fundamental changes in cultural code of Middle Eastern societies. The author highlights the influence of global trends in economy and culture on the Middle Eastern society, and especially global financial crisis which in 2009 struck the Arab economies at the stage of their rapid growth on a wave of liberalisation and privatisation begun at the beginning of the 21st century. The transformation of their economies began, however, in the 1970s and produced fundamental changes in the social structure. The new middle class emerged as a consequence of centralisation, bureaucratisation, liberalisation and privatisation, and at the same time, the old middle class, called effendiyya, faced pauperisation and marginalisation. Social mobility was enormously dynamic in the Arab societies in the 20th century and is considered by the author a key factor for the understanding of present developments in the region. In the consequence of the neo-liberal economic policy, some segments of Arab societies were moving up, but some of them were moving down in the social hierarchy, and they were the ones who rebelled and revolted. The new social media contributed to the Arab Spring enormously and its role is investigated in the book together with the roles of Islamism and the Muslim Brotherhood, Arab armies, and of external actors – the USA, the European Union, Iran, and Turkey. But the factor that determines the present developments in the Middle Easy to the greatest extent is demography. The book emphasizes it and its influence on employment, education, standard of living, and the opportunities that the Arab youth have for a better life. The final chapter contains the outlooks for the region’s future and points to certain dangers, especially to populism. The book combines bibliography and chronology of events in the region from December 2010 to September 2011. As a whole, the book offers a vivid portrait of history in the making.

    Rozwój gospodarczy Jemenu po zjednoczeniu
    (Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2004) Pikulski, Andrzej
    "Jemen jest kolebką najstarszych cywilizacji zwanych południowoarabskimi. Od X wieku p.n.e. istniały tu silne państwa (Saba, Himjar), które swój dobrobyt opierały na handlu tranzytowym z Indiami i Afryką Wschodnią oraz na produkcji i eksporcie kadzidła i mirry. Przez wieki gospodarka Jemenu opierała się na rolnictwie i była niemalże samowystarczalna. Dopiero w drugiej połowie XX wieku, wraz z importem tanich dóbr konsumpcyjnych, Jemen szybko zaczął zmieniać się w kraj uzależniony od importu. Rozwój gospodarczy w tym okresie zależał w istotny sposób od uwarunkowań politycznych. W latach 70. i 80. ekonomia Jemenu Północnego uzależniona była w znaczący sposób od pomocy Arabii Saudyjskiej i innych krajów Zatoki, podczas gdy Jemen Południowy stał się zależny od Związku Radzieckiego i innych krajów bloku komunistycznego. Odkrycie złóż ropy naftowej w połowie lat 80. stworzyło nadzieję na szybki rozwój gospodarczy kraju."(...)

    Sytuacja społeczno-polityczna w Jemenie po odejściu prezydenta Saliha
    (Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2012) Wolańska, Diana
    Yemen is a country which belongs to the world’s poorest regions. Constant civil wars, instability of employment, lack of education and healthcare as well as widespread famine, are only some of the major problems which Yemen struggles with. Due to totalitarian and inefficient rule of the former President Ali Abdall Salli, the political situation worsen leading to so called ‘Arab Spring’ revolution when the Yemeni society finally said ‘no’ to the regime. Incompetent political leadership of President Ali Abdullah Saleh as well as his dealings with tribal intricacies created a perfect harbour for al Qaeda creating a sense of destabilizations and fear around the country. Despite of the reigns of newly-elected president , the situation has not improved. Country still remains in a deep economic and social crisis being on verge of another civil war which could be tragic. The main reason for destabilisation in Yemen is growing conflict between Shiite-Huti from the north of the country as well as rapid activation of al Qaeda structures in the Arabian Peninsula in the south. The situation in Yemen shows us how terrorist organizations and other related groups activate in consequence of abolishment of the country’s regime and central administration. This kind of situation is not promising for the future of the country. It needs to be said openly that without help from other countries and international organisations, Yemen is unable to cope with the existing situation and it is the only way to save that region which as we know plays a strategic role in the international arena.
