Undoubtedly, one of the greatest achievements of antiquity in the Mediterranean basin is the origin and development of the city in a very broad sense; not only as the functional human settlement, but also the idea that found its place in philosophy. This article is a synthetic discussion of ancient Mediterranean urban planning in terms of its search of the ideal form of the city. Already in Mesopotamia and Egypt in the 4th - 3rd millennium BC they began to "experiment" with the layout of a functional and convenient city for its residents. However, only in the Greek and then Roman world did the ideal form find its full realization. It was then that the most representative examples of the ideal city were created.

Storms in the European part of the Mediterranean Sea Basin are characterized in the paper. Data on storm days comes from the years 1986-2008, from fourteen stations located on the coast and on islands of the Mediterranean Sea (Gibraltar, Valencia, Palma de Majorca, Marseille, Ajaccio - Corsica, Cagliari - Sardinia, Palermo - Sicily, Naples, Luqa Malta, Thessaloniki, Athens, Souda - Crete, Rhodes Airport - Rhodes and Larnaca - Cyprus). The greatest number of storm days was noted in Corsica (870 - on the average 37,8 per year) and the least in Gibraltar (371 - 16,1). In most of the examined stations storms took place most frequently in the fall (from 19 to 46%). The smallest number of storm days was observed in winter (western and central part of the region) and in summer (eastern part). From a year-to-year analysis of storm days, it was found that their trend, at almost at all the stations, is negative. The strongest negative trend was observed in Valencia, Naples and Cagliari (-8,5 days/10 years). A growing trend, reaching 3 storm days/10 years, was only found in Cyprus.

The article dwells upon the theme of the journey in the Mediterranean, the cradle of the three great monotheistic religions. Taking some paradigms for the journey from mythology, history and from Revelation, the physical journey is taken as a metaphor for the pilgrimage of life, an experience marked by maturation and conversion. This spiritual pilgrimage ultimately consists in the individual’s search for the Divine.

Tourism revenue is an extremely important source of income in terms of countries. At this point, each country competes with other countries in its selected field. The Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) is an indicator which reveals who is better, and this index constitutes the order of countries. In this study focuses on the competitive ranking alternative to the Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI). Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis (FDEA) was used for this purpose.

The article describes a preserved poetic fragment commonly called De piscibus, written by Marcellus of Side. He was a physician and a renowned epic poet, who lived in the town of Side (Pamphylia) in the second century AD. In the analyzed fragment (v. 41–101), being an extract from his didactic epos entitled Cheironides, Marcellus of Side presents a number of remedies prepared from some marine animals, especially fishes, living in the Mediterranean Sea.

Invoking the conflict in the Eastern Ukraine, in particular the annexation of Crimea, is a clear violation of the wordings of the international law and the agreements, whose party has been the Russian Federation. It is justified to ask about the reasons of such a decision of Russian authorities, which in fact proves that the agreements whose signatory is the Russian state, mean nothing to them. The article attempts to answer the above question using the wordings of Russian strategic documents. The conclusion is a statement that the actions undertaken in regard to Ukraine, as understood by them, are an element of the security policy carried out by the Russian Federation and aim at increasing the state security level.

Wywołanie konfliktu na wschodnie Ukrainie, a zwłaszcza aneksja Krymu jest jawnym pogwałceniem zapisów prawa międzynarodowego oraz porozumień, których stroną była i pozostaje Federacja Rosyjska. Zasadne jest zadanie pytania, z jakich powodów władze Rosji zdecydowały się na taki krok, będący w istocie dowodem, że umowy których sygnatariuszem jest państwo rosyjskie, nie mają dla niego żadnego znaczenia. W artykule podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na powyższe pytanie, wykorzystując analizę rosyjskich dokumentów strategicznych. Konkluzją tej analizy jest stwierdzenie, że działania podjęte wobec Ukrainy – w rosyjskim rozumieniu – stanowią element prowadzonej polityki bezpieczeństwa Federacji Rosyjskiej i są działaniem ukierunkowanym na zwiększenie poziomu bezpieczeństwa państwa.

The aim of the article is to show the role of the Balkans in the context of the tasks carried out by the diplomacy of the Turkish Republic in the interwar period. Turkish foreign policy was determined by the position of the state in the three regions - the Mediterranean, the Middle East and the Balkans. The activity of the Turkish diplomacy in the Balkans should be divided into two phases covering the years 1923–1932 and 1932–1939. Many Turkish diplomatic initiatives met with a positive reaction in the Balkans. Turkey was an advocate of solutions based on negotiations, not on the arguments of force. On the other hand, the political successes in the Balkans did not substantially strengthen its position in other matters concerning Turkish security. Neither did Turkey increase the Turkish rank in the eyes of superpowers.

W 2015 r. artystka wizualna Amel Alzakout uciekła z Syrii do Niemiec trasą prowadzącą przez Morze Śródziemne. Pół godziny po wypłynięciu łódka, na której znajdowało się 315 osób, zatonęła. Rozbitkowie spędzili 4 godziny w wodzie, a Alzakout, wyposażona w małą wodoszczelną kamerę (którą wcześniej zdążyła przypiąć sobie do nadgarstka), nagrała to, co działo się pod jej powierzchnią. Z nagrań tych powstał film dokumentalny zatytułowany Purpurowe morze (Purple Sea, 2020). Artykuł jest próbą uchwycenia jego wyjątkowości, również na tle innych dokumentów o podobnej tematyce, która przejawia się głównie w prezentowanym przez niego spojrzeniu. Spojrzenie to można byłoby określić mianem nieantropocentrycznego i nieeuropocentrycznego. Analizując dokument w tym kontekście autorka proponuje, by odczytywać go jako obraz będący efektem szczególnego ujęcia rzeczywistości, które nazywa ujęciem z wnętrza rzeczy.

In 2015, visual artist Amel Alzakout fled from Syria to Germany across the Mediterranean Sea. Half an hour after departure, the boat, carrying 315 people, sank. The survivors spent four hours in the water, and Alzakout, equipped with a small waterproof camera (which she had clipped to her wrist), recorded what was happening under the surface. These recordings were used to make the documentary film titled Purple Sea (2020). This article is an attempt to capture its uniqueness, also against the backdrop of other documentaries with similar themes, which manifests itself mainly in the gaze it presents. This gaze could be described as non-anthropocentric and non-Europocentric. Analysing the document in this context, the author suggests that it should be read as an image which is the effect of a particular approach to reality, which she calls an approach from the inside of things.

After decades of Spain’s peripheral syndrome, Spanish authorities tried to increase her presence and influence in NATO and the European institutions. In 2000, the Government approved the Defence White Paper, opening a path of political consensus to allow the Government to define and execute long-term policies to transform Spain’s armed forces and close the transformational gap with her allies and partners. The attacks on 11th September 2001 caused a terrible shock to the Spanish population. The fear created by terrorism, and the proper way to react against such a threat, broke the successful consensus achieved just one year before. The growth of global powers candidates, with an opposed set of values and interests, results in a transition to the Age of Disorder. Spain is facing this Age without fear. She is strongly committed to European integration and will prioritise finding common grounds with allies and partners to have a stronger joint European position to overcome the turbulence of the unstable transition of power and face together the global challenges such as COVID-19. Spain is reviewing her security strategy. NATO and the EU are also in similar processes. Spain will use her leadership and strategic empathy to secure her national interests, allowing others to accommodate their interests as well. A substantial element of the future National Security Strategy will be to enhance the security culture among the citizens, to help them better understand the threats and the options to deter or respond against aggression or hybrid interferences.

Po wielu dekadach pozostawania na uboczu głównego nurtu politycznego w ramach NATO oraz Unii Europejskiej, na początku XXI wieku w Hiszpanii przyjęto tzw. Białą Księgę Bezpieczeństwa (The Defence White Paper). Jej głównym przesłaniem było określenie możliwości realizacji dalekosiężnych celów w sferze bezpieczeństwa, co pozwoliłoby na transformację hiszpańskich Sił Zbrojnych i zmniejszenie dystansu między sojusznikami i partnerami. Atak na Centrum Handlu Światowego był wielkim szokiem dla społeczeństwa hiszpańskiego, efektywnie wpływając na zaburzenie procesu zmian środowiska bezpieczeństwa w Hiszpanii. Autor charakteryzuje wysiłek hiszpańskiego rządu na drodze do przezwyciężenia wyzwań w tzw. Okresie Chaosu (Age of Disorder). Wskazuje także na przyjęte w Hiszpanii rozwiązania pozwalające na uporządkowanie i kontrolę sytuacji w sferze bezpieczeństwa narodowego.

Hikmet Afif Mapolar (1919–1989) to tureckocypryjski pisarz i publicysta, bardzo zasłużony dla rozwoju tureckojęzycznej prozy, publicystyki i prasy na Cyprze. Całe życie związany ze swoim ojczystym krajem, a szczegól­nie z miejscem urodzenia (miasto portowe Kyrenia nad Morzem Śródziem­nym), w swojej twórczości na miejsce akcji najczęściej wybierał nadmorskie miejscowości okolic Kyrenii, a na bohaterów swoich utworów – mieszkańców tego rejonu: wieśniaków i rybaków. Przedmiotem opisu w tym artykule jest opowiadanie Mapolara Ahtapot Avı (Polowanie na ośmiornice) z roku 1943, a więc z okresu kolonialnego. Typowa dla tego pisarza realistyczna metoda opisu połączona z wartką, dramatyczną akcją sprawia, że fabuła przynosi na myśl scenę z dramatu filmowego z morzem w roli głównej. Wiele elemen­tów fabuły Polowania na ośmiornice nasuwa skojarzenia z nowelą Stary czło­wiek i morze E. Hemingwaya, co pozwala sformułować uniwersalną prawdę, że ludzie morza mają podobne pragnienia i podobny los bez względu na to, gdzie żyją, oraz że „ich” morze nie jest miejscem peryferyjnym, a centralnym. Dla mieszkańców regionu nadmorskiego morze to ich centrum świata, cen­trum życia, sens życia i determinant ich losów.

Hikmet Afif Mapolar (1919–1989) was a Turkish Cypriot writer and journal­ist who contributed immensely to the development of Turkish-language prose, journalism, and the press in Cyprus. Tied to his native country all his life, and especially to his place of birth (the port city of Kyrenia on the Mediterranean Sea), he set most of his stories in coastal towns in the vicinity of Kyrenia, and his characters are inhabitants of this region: villagers and fishermen. This arti­cle discusses a short story by Mapolar, Ahtapot Avı [The Octopus Hunt], pub­lished in 1943, i.e., during the colonial period. The realism of the descriptions, which is typical of this writer, combined with the fast-paced and engrossing storytelling bring to mind scenes from a movie drama where the sea plays the lead role. Many plot elements in The Octopus Hunt evoke associations with Hemingway’s short story, The Old Man and the Sea, which leads me to formu­late a universal truth that sea people have similar desires and a similar fate no matter where they live, and that “their” sea is not a peripheral place, but a cen­tral one. For the inhabitants of the coastal region, the sea is the center of their world, the center of life, the meaning of life, and the determinant of fate.

L’articolo prende in esame il monachesimo latino maschile nel Mediterraneo perlustrando, per quanto concerne i secoli IV-VI, la legislazione ecclesiastica che di regione in regione ne ha regolato vita e modalita d’essere. Vengono analizzati gli atti conciliari del Mediterraneo latino che riguardano la vita religiosa maschile a cominciare dagli stessi inizi della legislazione ecclesiastica fino all’arrivo degli albori dell’Alto Medioevo. L’articolo esamina tutti i canoni concementi gli asceti che furono promulgati dalia Chiesa dell'Africa, della Gallia, della Penisola Iberica e delPItaha. I concili come tali manifestano molto bene la vita della Chiesa, rispecchiando i diversi probierni e le situazioni (spesso difficili) che influirono sulla promulgazione degli stessi canoni, fornendo, in tal modo, un prezioso quadro sia storico che, insieme, teologico-spirituale-giuridico. In seno ad esso, peró, molto importante parę sia quello che riguarda il monachesimo delle origini, dal momento che questo movimento carismatico-spirituale cosi importante per la vita della Chiesa nasce proprio in quel periodo e in esso trova le sue fondamenta giuridiche, che assicurarono il suo instancabile cammino verso la casa del Padre, insieme e a capo del popolo di Dio quale sua guida carismatico-spirituale. Vengono presentati i canoni riguardanti i monaci, e ció seguendo l’ordine cronologico della loro promulgazione. Viene presentata dapprima la legislazione africana, successivamente quella della Gallia e della Penisola Iberica. Pochissime, mycce, sono le leggi della Chiesa di Italia. E attraverso la lettura delle tematiche entrate nelle normative allora vigenti, e talvolta sensibili di differenze da luogo a luogo, che si comprendono probierni, usanze e dinamiche di un fenomeno il quale si e umilmente imposto nel tessuto della Chiesa e delle istituzioni. Ció testimonia pure quanto sia sembrato essere stato ritenuto importante il salvaguardame integrita e verita, e non solo il riconoscimento ufficiale.
