Witold Bańka, Polish Minister of TSport and Tourism, and a former athlete himself, is the Council of Europe’s representative in the World Anti- -Doping Agency (WADA). He has embarked on a tough battle against doping in sports, as he describes in his article. Meanwhile Michał Kurtyka, Undersecretary of State in the Ministry of Energy and Chairman of the Steering Committee of the Electromobility Development Program, presents a broad perspective on the development and use of electromobility technology in Poland. Although geopolitics, as a discipline of the social sciences, was formed almost two centuries ago, its purpose and methodology remain relevant today. By taking the relatively easy step of overlaying current events onto the world map, it still allows us to formulate answers as to why a particular political center can develop into a great power and shape the course of events in the modern world. And for this reason, we decided to focus much attention on this matter. The second issue of the quarterly contains a geopolitical report, which consists of a series of five article, devoted to the situation and possible scenarios in the near future of East-Central Europe. This section closes with a study of the very current and extremely controversial issue of the reception of refugees into Europe and possible political, social and cultural consequences thereof. 2/2017 3 Editorial In the history section, I especially recommend two articles: Dr. Mariusz Klarecki’s article on the losses of private art The collections in occupied Warsaw during World War II; Warsaw and Dr. Joanna Lubecka’s article on a still current topic, Institute concerning a semantic dispute over the key terminology Review used in Polish-German relations and the need for both countries to build an honest historical narrative. © Copyright 2017 The Warsaw Institute I also encourage you to confirm your desire to continue Foundation Warsaw, Poland to receive a free copy of The Warsaw Institute Review Editor-in-Chief quarterly through the registration form found Anna Karolina Piekarska at Warsawinstitute.org/subscribe-magazine/.
