There are three concepts in contemporary political geography which aptly describe the processes that are contemporarily taking place in many Third World countries. These are the concepts of 'insurgent state', 'rogue state' and 'failed state'. We can assume that Afghanistan is a country where many theses proposed in the aforementioned theories have been corroborated over the recent years. The struggles and victory of the mujahedin can be regarded as the confirmation of the 'insurgent state' theory; the several years of the Taliban rule have made Afghanistan perceived as one of the 'rogue states', while the developments of the most recent years (just as at many earlier stages in its history) prove that Afghanistan shows some attributes of a 'failed state'.

Magazines such as 'Bluszcz' (Ivy), 'Swiat dziewczat' (The World of Girls), 'Mloda Matka' (Young Mother), 'Kobieta w swiecie i w domu' (A Woman in the World and at Home), 'Ja to zrobie' (I'll Do It), 'To co najmodniejsze' (What is the Most Fashionable), 'Dziecko i matka' (A Child and Mother), 'Zycie kobiece' (Woman's Life), or 'Kultura ciala' (Body Culture), were published under the aegis of the 'Bluszcz' Publishing Society. In addition to social and literary contents, the abnove-mentioned periodicals featured fashion, embroidery and craft sections. Fashionable dress provided people with a way to manifest their social class affiliation while expressing their personality. The 'Bluszcz' and other periodicals it inspired made a significant contribution to women's life by creating a coexistence culture, acquainting readers with good literature and entertainment, providing advice and, most importantly, bringing the great world of fashion closer to Polish women.

EAST ASIAN HOTEL CHAINS - DWARFS AMONG GIANTS?

Even though corporations from East Asia (mainly from Japan) occupy prominent positions amongst the global giants, there are no East Asian hotel chains in this prestigious group. Furthermore, their role on the global hotel market has weakened over the past 15 years. In the case of the Chinese market, this is largely due to the expansion of foreign hotel chains, and in the case of Japan - to the special features of the local hotel industry. This does not mean, however, that all the major East Asian hotel chains are lagging behind the global leaders. The positive exceptions mainly include Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts (Hong Kong) and JAL Hotels Company Ltd. (Japan).

W celu oceny wpływu integracji z UE na polski handel zagraniczny roślinami ozdobnymi przeprowadzono analizę zmian w ich eksporcie i imporcie w wieloleciu 1996-2009, w którym wyodrębniono dodatkowo dwa podokresy: przed i po integracji z UE. Analizowano kierunek i dynamikę zmian, strukturę asortymentową, saldo obrotów oraz zmiany i relacje cen importowych i eksportowych. Badania wykazały, iż polski handel zagraniczny produktami kwiaciarskimi charakteryzuje ujemne saldo obrotów, szybszy wzrost importu niż eksportu oraz wyższy poziom cen importowych. Dodatnie saldo obrotów występuje w handlu roślinami szkółkarskimi oraz preparowanymi kwiatami ciętymi i zielenią ciętą. Przystąpienie Polski do UE nie miało istotnego wpływu na import i eksport w następnych latach.

A long term analysis of foreign trade in ornamental plants over the years 1996-2009 have been done in order to show the influence of Polish accession to the EU on Polish imports and exports. The direction and dynamics of changes, the structure of assortment, the trade balance, as well as changes in import and export prices have been analyzed. It has been found that Polish foreign trade in floricultural products was characterized by a negative trade balance, a faster growth in imports than in exports and a higher level of import prices. However, a positive trade balance has been observed in nursery plants and treated cut flowers as well as foliage. The Polish accession to the EU had no significant effect on imports and exports of ornamental plants in the next years.
