Autorka wskazuje w artykule, że współcześnie mamy do czynienia z konfliktami zbrojnymi nieposiadającymi charakteru międzynarodowego. Jako przykład podaje konflikt w Syrii i Iraku, podczas którego były i nadal są zagrożone dobra kultury stanowiące komponent dziedzictwa kulturowego wszystkich narodów. Wychodząc od definicji niemiędzynarodowego konfliktu zbrojnego, autorka dostrzega, że tylko nieznaczna część aktów międzynarodowego prawa humanitarnego zapewnia ochronę dóbr kultury w sytuacji zaistnienia konfliktu wewnętrznego. Za dobry krok w kierunku uzupełnienia tej luki prawnej uznaje włączenie przez społeczność międzynarodową zasad poszanowania dóbr kultury w zakres prawa zwyczajowego. Ponadto zauważa, że zasada odpowiedzialności jednostki za naruszenie międzynarodowego prawa humanitarnego może w przyszłości służyć skutecznemu egzekwowaniu ochrony dóbr kultury w konfliktach zbrojnych.

In her article, the author points out that contemporary armed conflicts are often of a non-international nature. She provides the example of the ongoing conflict in Syria and Iraq as one in which cultural property of universal importance has been at risk of destruction. Based on the definition of non-international armed conflict, she notes that only a limited number of treaties belonging to the field of international humanitarian law include provisions aimed at protecting cultural property during an armed conflict. She praises the inclusion of rules concerning the safeguarding of cultural property to the general body of international customary law. She also notes that the introduction of the concept of individual responsibility for violations of international humanitarian law may pave the way for a more efficient exercise of rules concerning the safeguarding of cultural property in armed conflicts.
This article aims to analyze the common manifesto of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany and the Christian-Social Union in Bavaria regarding social security, with regard to the elections to the German parliament in 2017. The basic assumption was to verify whether the CDU/CSU grouping referred to each of the elements of social security, i.e. social security system, welfare security, community security and developmental security, in its 2017 election manifesto. The method used to complete the study was content analysis. The study shows that the CDU/CSU Union in its common manifesto of 2017 – Für ein Deutschland, in dem wir gut und gerne leben. Regierungsprogramm 2017–2021, raised issues related to building the social security of citizens. The proposals that were included in the program allow us to conclude that the CDU/CSU proposed a program that develops each of the pillars of social security in part, but which is still lacking in some ways. It should be noted that the issue of culture has been somewhat overlooked, which undoubtedly has a huge impact on the development of social capital and human capital, despite its enormous impact on two of the pillars, community and development. Other areas and proposals aimed at their development manage to fill this gap. It should also be pointed out that in the electoral proposals included in the manifesto, the most developed pillar was related to social security, implemented as part of the social policy of the state.
The main objective of this article is to present potential research opportunities offered by the analysis of conditions, structure and instruments of the foreign policy of the country. The secondary objective is to present several potentially interesting research scenarios using the presented approach. For the purpose of these analyses, selected definitions of foreign policy functioning in the mainstream of Polish science (by leading researchers of international relations) and included in English-language publications of renowned foreign publishers will be presented. Then, the authors’ definition of foreign policy will be proposed based on these publications. In the following subsections there will be a presentation of selected elements of foreign policy analysis in the form of its determinants, structure and instruments. In their research, the authors used secondary research material in the form of scientific articles in Polish and English. The method used in the research is the method of content analysis.
Данная статья представляет собой попытку ответить на вопрос о ситуации в области безопасности в Азиатско-Тихоокеанском регионе. Авторы решили проверить правдивость тезиса о том, что в Азии возникла новая дилемма безопасности, основанная на данных о расходах на оборону среди ключевых стран региона (Китай, США, Япония, Россия, Пакистан, Австралия и Индия). Второй тезис, который авторы хотят подтвердить или опровергнуть, заключается в том, что в Азиатско-Тихоокеанском регионе существует коалиция, которая формирует коалицию, нацеленную на балансирование сил, и в то же время растет число стран, желающих присоединиться к КНР. Для этого авторы использовали метод контент-анализа и сравнительный метод. Первая глава представляет собой краткое описание теоретических основ статьи в виде реалистичного течения в международных отношениях и исследованиях в области безопасности, а также объяснение прикладных концепций баланса сил, дилеммы безопасности и переплетения. Во второй главе представлены данные о расходах на оборону наиболее важных субъектов в регионе. В третьей главе, которая заменяет собой окончание, авторы проанализируют ситуацию в Азиатско-Тихоокеанском регионе, используя ранее представленный теоретический подход и эмпирические данные.

This article attempts to answer the question about the security situation in the Asia-Pacific region. The authors decided to verify the authenticity of the thesis that Asia witnessed the birth of a new security dilemma based on the data on the amount of defense spending among the key countries of the region (China, the United States, Japan, Russia, Pakistan, Australia, and India). The second thesis that the authors want to confirm or reject is that there is a coalition in the Asia-Pacific area that is creating a balance of power and, at the same time, a growing number of countries that want to join the PRC. To this end, the authors have used a content analysis method and a comparative method. The first chapter is a brief description of the article’s theoretical framework in the form of a realistic current in international relations and security research and an explanation of the concepts of power balance, security dilemma, and bandwagoning applied. The second chapter presents data on the defense spending of the most important actors in the region. In the third chapter, which is a substitute for a conclusion, the authors will analyze the situation in the Asia-Pacific region using the previously presented theoretical approach and empirical data.
