Pozycja Bliski Wschód 2011: bunt czy rewolucja?(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2011) Zdanowski, JerzyTimely, 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.Pozycja Chiny wobec światowego kryzysu gospodarczego 2007/2008+(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2012) Majchrowska, ElżbietaPozycja Gospodarka światowa w dobie globalizacji(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2011) Księżyk, Marianna; Pluciński, Eugeniusz M.; Ślusarczyk, Magdalena; Ostrowska, Barbara; Kotulewicz, Karolina; Czajkowska, Karolina; Diawoł, Anna; Majchrowska, Elżbieta; Tarnawski, Marcin; Borkowski, Kamil; Zysk, Wojciech; Wyrwicz, Marek; Wyrwicz, Marek; Piziak-Rapacz, Anna; Lasoń, MarcinPozycja Krakowskie Studia Międzynarodowe nr 4, 2013 (Strategiczne wyzwania międzynarodowej roli Polski w drugiej dekadzie XXI w.)(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2013) Zając, Justyna; Żukrowska, Katarzyna; Pera, Jacek; Węc, Janusz Józef; Cziomer, Erhard; Cziomer, Erhard; Lasoń, Marcin; Czarny, Ryszard M.; Mickiewicz, Piotr; Kraj, Kazimierz; Molo, Beata; Paterek, Anna; Wagner, Helmut; Munkelt, Peter; Piziak-Rapacz, Anna; Młynarski, Tomasz; Czornik, Katarzyna; Lakomy, Miron; Stankiewicz, Jakub; Cziomer, Erhard; Bednarczyk, BogusławaPozycja Między wolnym handlem a kryzysem gospodarczym. Depresja 1933 versus kryzys 2009(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2010) Pluciński, Eugeniusz M.The ongoing global economic crisis, intensified by the global crisis of financial and capital markets, generates a lot of comparative analysis with the Great Depression 1929–1933. One aspect of this analysis is the problem of the scale of protectionism and its negative effects, for example in the area of the international trade. Whether a given case is just about financial and economic crisis or about classic impact of payment congestion (as a result of the collapse of the trade finance system) and the global economic downturn (due to the global slowdown in demand) on the reduction of import (thus exports) worldwide. The author focused his attention on anti-crisis policy, recognizing that the U.S. economy should trigger off the impulse of combating this crisis. The current crisis has shown that the world has no effective instruments for regulating global finance and most of the remedial activities are carried out on a national scale. This problem also applies to the process of liberalization of the world trade.Pozycja Wpływ członkostwa w WTO na handel zagraniczny Chin : implikacje dla gospodarki światowej(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2014) Majchrowska, ElżbietaIn 1978 China adopted a new strategy of economic development (so called open-door or opening up policy) which is connected with the process of transformation and the transition from the undeveloped central economy to the market-oriented one. As a result of the undertaken activities, China has overtaken many leading economies and become one of the largest in the world. Since 2009 China has been the largest exporter and in 2010 it surpassed Japan in GDP and became the world’s second largest economy after the US. According to the International Monetary Fund forecast China is expected to overtake the American economy by 2030. The key element of the adopted open-door policy is the integration with the world economy, which, in case of China, is mainly realized by joining the WTO structures. The adjustment to the WTO rules and principles resulted in China becoming a credible trade partner and the trade exchange has become more stable. The goal of this publication is to describe the consequences of the accession of the People’s Republic of China into the WTO for Chinese economy, world trade turnover and international trade system. The main thesis of the work is a statement that China’s membership in the WTO was a major reason for fast growth of Chinese trade, and, as a result, Chinese economy. This resulted in China becoming a major hub for stimulating international trade, not only in Asia Pacific region, but also in the world economy. Finally, as a consequence, China becoming also a major player in the world economy.
