The study is primarily based on the analysis of unpublished British sources and deals with the analysis of the attitude of Great Britain towards the problem of the collective security during July-August 1925. The negotiations were not simple but in June 1925 Great Britain and France concurred with the treaty proposal that arrived in Berlin afterwards. On 20th July, Germany published its response to the French note of mid June 1925. After the situation became more complicated at the turn of July and August 1925, the French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand suggested he would come to London and speak directly with his British colleague. The situation thus reached the point when a meeting of the French and British foreign ministers was necessary, with both men talking about the text of the French response to the German note of 20th July 1925.

The article presents the concept of the British foreign policy towards the states of Central and Eastern Europe, made by Foreign Secretary Geoffrey Howe at the end of 1980s, when the cold war was just about to be over. He was Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in the cabinet of Margaret Thatcher. The foreign policy of the United Kingdom towards the states of Central and Eastern Europe at that time was shaped by several important factors; for example: the geopolitical position, the alliance with the USA, the other NATO member-states and the remaining capitalist countries, the reforms introduced by Mikhail Gorbachev (especially the socalled perestroika, glasnost and ‘New Thinking’) and their significance for international relations. T he a uthor p ays a special attention to the British policy of ‘diversification’ within the Soviet bloc at that time. On the one hand there were countries that were introducing the reforms implemented in the USSR (Poland and Hungary); on the other, there were states of ‘old regime’, without any signs of liberalisation, such as Romania, the German Democratic Republic, or Bulgaria.

W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono koncepcję brytyjskiej polityki zagranicznej w stosunku do państw Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej, realizowanej przez ministra spraw zagranicznych Geoffreya Howe’a w końcu lat 80. XX wieku, gdy zimna wojna zmierzała ku końcowi. Howe był ministrem sprawa zagranicznych i Wspólnoty Narodów w rządzie Margaret Thatcher. Polityka zagraniczna Zjednoczonego Królestwa w stosunku do państw Europy Środkowej i Wschodniej w tym okresie, była zdeterminowana paroma ważnymi czynnikami, przykładowo: pozycją geopolityczną, sojuszem ze Stanami Zjednoczonymi i pozostałymi państwami z NATO i resztą świata „kapitalistycznego”, reformami Michaiła Gorbaczowa (szczególnie tzw. Pierestrojką, Glasnostią o raz Nowym Myśleniem) i ich znaczeniem dla stosunków międzynarodowych. Autor zwraca uwagę na brytyjską „politykę różnicowania” w ramach bloku radzieckiego w tamtym czasie. Z jednej strony były w nim państwa z rodzajem reform ekonomicznych jak ZSRR, Polska i Węgry, a z drugiej – państwa „starego reżimu” bez oznak liberalizacji – jak np. Rumunia, NiemieckaRepublika Demokratyczna czy Bułgaria.
