The Role of Maritime Education and Training of Young Adults in Creating a Strategic Model for the Management of a Public Diplomacy Project

In Annual Speeches of the Republic of Poland Ministers of Foreign Affairs After 2001
Przegląd Strategiczny 2017, nr 10 Piotr POCHYŁY DOI : 10.14746/ps.2017.1.12 University of Zielona Góra THE CONCEPT OF “SECURITY” IN ANNUAL SPEECHES OF THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND MINISTERS OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AFTER 2001 The purpose of the publication is to present how the concept of security has been de- fined in annual speeches of Poland’s foreign ministers after the 9/11 attacks in 2001. Research problem: the impact of the international situation on ways of ensuring Po- land’s security in the annual speeches of Polish foreign ministers. Apart from the as- pect of classically understood security, the analysis also covers modern categories of security that is economic, public, ecological, energy or food security. The temporal range is from 2001 to 2017. Following the definition in the Polish Language Diction- ary published by PWN I define “security” as “the state of non-threat” (Bezpieczeństwo, 2017). * * * Every year foreign ministers of Poland give their annual speeches – officially known as the Information of the Foreign Minister on the goals of foreign policy, in which they define priorities, characterize challenges, and present corrections to the policy. Sometimes it is just an ordinary fulfilment of the obligation, which does not provoke greater conflicts or reflections and is presented in the nearly empty hall, but since 2010, after the plane crash near Smolensk, there have been very exciting debates connected with disputes in the Parliament (speeches given by Radosław Sikorski between 2011–2014), also in connection to responsibility for state security. The speeches which were urgent responses to events in the world (Sikorski, 2014) and the ones that were given when new governments came to power: (Cimoszewicz, 2002; Meller, 2006; Sikorski, 2008; Sikorski, 2012; Waszczykowski, 2016) will be particularly relevant to the search for answers to the research problem because apart from presenting current issues the ministers were obliged to discuss four-year for- eign policy assumptions. -

Rad jestem, mogąc znaleźć się w gronie osób pozdrawiających ser decznie profesora Hieronima Kubiaka z okazji 75. rocznicy urodzin. Poznałem Profesora w dramatycznie trudnym 1981 roku. Był to rok i wielkich nadziei, i wielkich zagrożeń, a tym samym próby cha rakterów, ideowości, poczucia odpowiedzialności. Zapamiętałem sło wa: „Komisja starała się usilnie osadzić treść tych dokumentów w nieprzemijających wartościach naszej narodowej kultury, lewico wej tradycji, podstaw naszej tożsamości narodowej, ciągłości histo rycznej Polaków ”, które na IX Nadzwyczajnym Zjeździe PZPR powie dział przewodniczący Komisji Uchwał - prof. Hieronim Kubiak. W słowach tych zawarta jest synteza Jego patriotycznej, postępowej filozofii. Posiada autentyczną wrażliwość człowieka lewicy. Cechuje Go wysoka kultura, skromność, ujmujący sposób bycia. Przez jed nych szanowany i lubiany, przez innych atakowany i pomawiany. Szedł prostą drogą. Wiedział, że konieczna jest w Polsce, w jej kierowni czych gremiach gruntowna przemiana myślenia i działania, zgodna z duchem i potrzebami czasu. Spotykało się to z oporami, krytyką, oskarżeniami zarówno z kręgów zachowawczych, dogmatycznych - tzw. prawdziwych komunistów, jak też - co było zresztą sprzężeniem zwrotnym - ze strony ówczesnych sojuszników. Należał obok Mieczy sława Rakowskiego, Andrzeja Werblana i Jerzego Wiatra do zwal czanych ze szczególną zajadłością. Godne podziwu były jego spokój i odporność, jak też konsekwencja i odwaga w obronie wartości, któ rym mimo rozczarowań i goryczy, był zawsze wierny. -

Bilateral Disputes Between EU Member States and Russia
Bilateral Disputes between EU Member States and Russia CEPS Working Document No. 319/August 2009 Mathias Roth Abstract Over the past years, a series of bilateral disputes between EU member states and Moscow have significantly affected EU–Russian relations and exposed sharp internal divisions over the EU’s approach towards Russia. Despite their potential for having a highly disruptive impact on EU foreign policy, the EU still lacks a consensus on how to handle bilateral disputes. This paper employs a case-study approach to provide an in-depth analysis of selected disputes and reviews several questions of importance for the coherence of EU policy towards Russia: What kinds of issues are at the centre of bilateral disputes? What strategies do member states adopt to resolve them? Under what circumstances are disputes raised to the EU level? The paper concludes that the scope of ‘EU solidarity’ in bilateral disputes remains deeply contested and draws on insights from the case studies to propose a set of guidelines for the EU’s approach to bilateral disputes.

Polish Contribution to World War II - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia 12/18/15, 12:45 AM Polish Contribution to World War II from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
Polish contribution to World War II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 12/18/15, 12:45 AM Polish contribution to World War II From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The European theatre of World War II opened with the German invasion of Poland on Friday September 1, 1939 and the Soviet Polish contribution to World invasion of Poland on September 17, 1939. The Polish Army War II was defeated after more than a month of fighting. After Poland had been overrun, a government-in-exile (headquartered in Britain), armed forces, and an intelligence service were established outside of Poland. These organizations contributed to the Allied effort throughout the war. The Polish Army was recreated in the West, as well as in the East (after the German invasion of the Soviet Union). Poles provided crucial help to the Allies throughout the war, fighting on land, sea and air. Notable was the service of the Polish Air Force, not only in the Allied victory in the Battle of Britain but also the subsequent air war. Polish ground troops The personnel of submarine were present in the North Africa Campaign (siege of Tobruk); ORP Sokół displaying a Jolly the Italian campaign (including the capture of the monastery hill Roger marking, among others, at the Battle of Monte Cassino); and in battles following the the number of sunk or damaged invasion of France (the battle of the Falaise pocket; an airborne ships brigade parachute drop during Operation Market Garden and one division in the Western Allied invasion of Germany). Polish forces in the east, fighting alongside the Red army and under Soviet command, took part in the Soviet offensives across Belarus and Ukraine into Poland, across the Vistula and towards the Oder and then into Berlin. -

Steinberg) ABSTRACT This thesis seeks to examine the factors that resulted in the fall of the Second Polish Republic and track its downward trajectory. Examining the Second Republic, from its creation in 1918 to its loss of recognition in 1945, reveals that its demise began long before German tanks violated Poland’s frontiers on 1 September, 1939. Commencing with the competing ideas of what a Polish state would be and continuing through the political and foreign policy developments of the inter-war years, a pattern begins to emerge - that of the Poles’ search for their place in modern Europe. The lead up to the Second World War and the invasion of Poland by the German-Soviet Alliance demonstrates the failure of the Poles to achieve that place. -
