China’s environmental policy in terms of European Union standards
It is beyond dispute that both China and the European Union stand to gain from promoting low-carbon development through the dissemination of clean and renewable energy sources, as this inevitably leads to increased environmental protection. The depletion of fossil fuel resources and the accompanying changes in the global energy mix make Europe and China not only competitors in the global economic race, but also nolens volens partners. Their pragmatic partnership is characterized, on the one hand, by the need to take action to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and, on the other, by the desire to minimize the negative environmental impact of their use. Hence, the existing and emerging cooperation between the two actors, while challenging for a number of reasons, is not only an attempt to set up channels to exchange vital information, but also an exercise in setting the standards under which further cooperation will be forged.
China at the Beginning of the 21st Century
China at the beginning of the 21st century intrigues many researchers around the world. The problems discussed within this volume provide the readers with a background of most vital issues in modern China. They are related to the challenges of the Chinese society and state's international skirmishes, which is depicted by the book's division into two separate parts. While the first part provides the insight into social change, creating tremendous opportunities, and no less significant threats for the country's future development, the second part looks further and beyond borders to focus our attention on security issues.
Regional Policy in China
Currently, much is said about the directions of development of modern China. However, we still do not know what will determine the expected superpower position of the Middle Kingdom. The book is an attempt to answer questions about China's main development challenges from a regional perspective. China aspires to become the country with the largest economy and development potential. This intention may turn out to be in vain if such significant disparities and development imbalances in the regional system are still present in China. The key to understanding the transformation of contemporary China is to recognize the internal determinants of the functioning of both the state and the economy from a regional perspective. A better understanding of the ways of managing regional development disparities may contribute to a more accurate assessment of the dynamics and directions of China's socio-economic development.

Chinese Animated Film and Ideology, 1940s-1970s
This book examines animated propaganda produced in mainland China from the 1940s to the 1970s. The analyses of four puppet films demonstrate how animation and Maoist doctrine became tightly but dynamically entangled. The book firstly contextualizes the production conditions and ideological contents of The Emperor’s Dream (1947), the first puppet film made at the Northeast Film Studio in Changchun. It then examines the artistic, intellectual, and ideological backbone of the puppet film Wanderings of Sanmao (1958). The book presents the means and methods applied in puppet animation filmmaking that complied with the ideological principles established by the radical supporters of Mao Zedong in the first half of the 1960s, discussing Rooster Crows at Midnight (1964). The final chapter discusses The Little 8th Route Army (1973), created by You Lei in the midst of the Cultural Revolution. This book will be of great interest to those in the fields of animation studies, film studies, political science, Chinese area studies, and Chinese philology.
Canada as a selective power. Canada’s Role and International Position after 1989
The academic study of Canada has traditionally been the realm of Canadian scholars. For this reason it is easy for outsiders to view Canada as a semi-Nordic continental utopia existing peacefully under a benign government that seeks only peace and harmony in the world. The reality is a more complicated story. That is the strength of this outstanding new book written by two young Polish scholars specializing in Canadian affairs. They have put together an impressively researched monograph that combines a detailed analysis outlining a rather basic premise: The world has changed dramatically since 1989 - and Canada has changed with it. In this well argued narrative they argue that in recent year...
Azjatycki model polityki rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego
Trudno zaprzeczyć konstatacji, że jak uprzednio Japonia i Korea Południowa były na ustach całego świata, tak teraz są Chiny. Dźwignięcie się Państwa Środka w ciągu zaledwie 40 lat z gospodarczego niebytu do rangi drugiej gospodarki globu musi bowiem w naturalny sposób przykuwać uwagę wszystkich. Zarówno tych, którzy chcieliby powtórzyć ten sukces u siebie, jak i tych, którzy upatrują w nowo wykreowanym liderze rozwoju ekonomicznego zagrożenie dla własnej pozycji, dla własnych interesów. Uwagę świata zwraca nie tylko sam wzrost gospodarczy Chin, lecz także – co zrozumiałe w przypadku najludniejszego kraju na naszej planecie – idące z tym w parze jego polityc...
Unia Europejska – Chiny
Pozycję, miejsce i rolę państwa czy innego podmiotu, na przykład Unii Europejskiej, w systemie międzynarodowym określają jego ustrój, potencjały i prowadzona polityka zagraniczna, a o jej jakości, atrakcyjności i skuteczności decyduje również wiele czynników. Większe możliwości pod tym względem mają jednak państwa silne, duże, nazywane imperiami lub mocarstwami. To one de facto prowadzą najbardziej ofensywną politykę zagraniczną i kreują rzeczywistość międzynarodową oraz odgrywają główne role na arenie międzynarodowej. One też ostatecznie przesądzają o kształcie i charakterze powstających systemów (ładów) międzynarodowych. Wyrazem tego są między innymi bilateralne i multilateralne kontakty międzynarodowe, aktywny udział w organizacjach międzynarodowych, członkostwo w sojuszach międzynarodowych oraz inicjatywy na rzecz społeczności międzynarodowej. Różna jest skala, zasięg i charakter tego uczestnictwa w życiu międzynarodowym, gdyż różne są racje, interesy i możliwości poszczególnych państw.
