A reform of U.S. trade policy was among the priorities of Donald Trump’s campaign. Guidelines of the new policy developed by Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross and Peter Navarro, head of the National Trade Council, were then included in the Presidential Trade Agenda for 2017. A lower trade deficit is a key target seen by the new administration as a prerequisite for boosting economic growth. Duties and taxes are to be introduced to countervail unfair practices, which are among the sources of the deficit. The new administration’s preference for bilateral rather than multilateral agreements is reiterated. Keeping with his campaign promises, Trump has signed executive orders to withdraw the U.S. from Trans-Pacific Partnership and to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement

In the past decades, the United States twice undermined the global climate negotiations by declining to ratify or planning to withdraw from ratified agreements. The U.S. position is rooted in the domestic energy and climate policy, including the competences of the authorities at the federal, state and local levels, as well as at business dynamics. For the international community this means that it cannot rely solely on negotiations with the U.S. administration without broad support of the states if it wishes to avoid encountering major obstacles and loss of credibility. Consequently, a broader engagement of states in developing U.S. climate policy is suggested in a bottom-up process in line with the Paris Agreement.

When Donald Trump became president, many voiced concern that rather than working with Congress, he would use the power of presidential actions, as he himself seemed to indicate. Yet in the first eleven months of his presidency, Trump’s use of presidential directives remained quite restricted. He used them sparingly and within numerical limits set by his predecessors. Analyses presented in the article clearly confirm this, both in general terms and in Trump’s use of specific categories of presidential actions, from the most significant executive orders to relatively unimportant presidential sequestration orders. From this perspective, Donald Trump is simply another U. S. chief executive, working through Congress whenever possible and resorting to unilateral decisions only when absolutely necessary.

Relations between Congress and the White House in the first year of Donald Trump’s presidency are not easy to define. President Trump has set the tone with his “America First” rhetoric, but his foreign policy cannot be described as isolationist. There is a tendency to withdraw support for multilateral instruments (UNESCO, Paris Agreement or free trade agreements), but the White House has been standing firm on his obligations vis-à-vis NATO allies. The role of Congress in these policies is vital but limited. It preserves a say in the most important issues, including the policy towards the Kremlin, North Korea or Iran, but it cannot prevent U.S. withdrawal from certain multilateral commitments.

Objective: The aim of the paper is to present an analysis of the research policy of the USA, understood as the integral part of the US public policy. This is the way it has been presented in recent publications in the field. Research design and methods: Research policy might be an effective means of stimulating socio-economic development. The literature review helps to define the distinctive features of the American research policy. Reasoning: The paper starts with an overview of publications appreciating the role of new technologies. The activities of the federal government are then analyzed with the emphasis on stimulating and supporting innovations in the US. The exploration of the connections between technological progress and economic cycles completes the analysis. Findings: In contrast to some popular claims, 21st century technological progress is driven not only by the invisible hand of the market but also by the often neglected interventions of the government. Implications and recommendations: Innovations require some form of public authorities support. It is vital to remember that this support should be broadly understood, including for example even the early stages of education.

Celem jest zaprezentowanie polityki naukowej USA jako integralnej części polityki publicznej USA, tak jak jest ona postrzegana w najnowszych publikacjach dotyczących tej problematyki. Problem i metody badawcze: Polityka naukowa może być narzędziem stymulującym rozwój społeczno‑ekonomiczny. Zastosowany przegląd literatury przedmiotu z XXI wieku pozwala na odnalezienie istotnych cech amerykańskiej polityki naukowej. Proces wywodu: Artykuł rozpoczyna omówienie publikacji podkreślających znaczenie nowoczesnych technologii. Następnie omówiono działania władz federalnych mających na celu pobudzenie i wspieranie innowacyjności w USA. Związki postępu technologicznego z cyklami gospodarczymi podsumowują znaczenie polityki naukowej. Wyniki analizy naukowej: Wbrew prezentowanym czasem opiniom – w XXI wieku o postępie technologicznym decyduje nie tylko niewidzialna ręka rynku, ale także często niedostrzegana interwencja rządu. Wnioski, rekomendacje, innowacje: Innowacyjność wymaga wsparcia ze strony władz publicznych, przy czym należy pamiętać, że wspieranie innowacyjności dotyczyć powinno szerokiego spektrum działań, obejmującego i wstępne poziomy edukacji.

Artykuł ma na celu zwrócenie uwagi na działania Stanów Zjednoczonych w obszarze państwa ukraińskiego jako gry geopolitycznej nakierowanej na utrwalenie regionalności Rosji i jej wpływów w Europie. Należy podkreślić, iż działanie Waszyngtonu na Ukrainie charakteryzuje się przede wszystkim unikaniem bycia bezpośrednio stroną w tej rywalizacji z Rosją. Zazwyczaj wykorzystuje ono w tych działaniach prozachodnie środowiska i organizacje oraz państwa Europy Środkowowschodniej jako inicjatorów określonych ruchów politycznych, mając w zamierzeniu uniezależnienie Ukrainy od wpływów Moskwy.

Wzrost liczebności Latynoamerykanów w Stanach Zjednoczonych, który dokonał się, w szczególności w ostatnich 15 latach przyniósł liczne zmiany społeczne i polityczne. Grupa ta prezentuje wysoki poziom złożoności, który utrudnia uchwycenie cech populacji i jej sposobu życia w tym kraju. Wspomniane zmiany dotyczą przede wszystkim zróżnicowania w ramach pokoleń, narodowości, różnego postrzegania tożsamości i miejsca w amerykańskim społeczeństwie, a także poziomu znajomości języka angielskiego i stopnia posługiwania się językiem hiszpańskim. Poza tym wpływ dominacji hiszpańskojęzycznych imigrantów wzmacniany jest przez wiele innych czynników, takich jak bliskość krajów pochodzenia, liczebność imigrantów w kategoriach bez-względnych, małe prawdopodobieństwo zakończenia ich napływu i ich geograficzną koncentrację

In the article the American experience of preparation of adult educators is analyzed; the basic approaches, the main characteristics of system of preparation which ensure its efficiency are determined and proved. The purpose of this article is studying and summarizing of American experience in preparing teachers for the system of adult education. People who teach adults need specific range of competencies based on knowledge of psychology, physiology, andragogy, etc. Adult educators work in a great variety of organizational and social contexts, at the same time they organize, teach and support adults in their work and learning. Many factors influence the recognition of the status of "adult educator" and the organization of their training: socio-economic development of the country, attitude of the society towards adult education, diversity of political, economic and social systems and structures, transition to implementation of the concept of lifelong education. These factors cause the need for preparation of andragogical staff. A "pyramid of andragogical staff" developed by С. Houlein in 1956 will be useful for understanding of professional training of the staff, its tasks and responsibilities in the system of adult education. According to this pyramid andragogical staff is divided into three groups: the first group is the largest, it is at the heart of the pyramid and consists mainly of volunteers; the second group includes people who have steady jobs, it occupies the central part in the pyramid; the third group is at the top of the pyramid, it consists of people who have professional education. Preparing of adult educators (andragogists) in the US is closely connected with the development of a system of adult education, which has a long history and it is based on the concept M. Knowles’ andragogy, a prominent American scholar and teacher.. A history of preparing andragogists, as a separate field of preparing specialists, was started in 1917. At the beginning of 60- in the XX century, there were forty-nine institutions offering courses for teachers in the sphere of adult education. However, only the Pedagogical College of Columbia University offered master and doctor’s program. Professional education and preparing specialists for adult education are important and necessary components for existence and successful functioning of the industry. As C. Houle wittily said "adult educators theoretically do not belong to a single profession, most of them belong to a family of professions, ... but education of leaders can ... be organized around a common core of tested knowledge and beliefs".

The purpose of the article is to determine the characteristics of teaching and degree of efficiency of physical education in the US higher education institutions, depending on their content based on literature analysis. Research methods: the comparative and theoretical analysis of scientific publications, government programs dedicated to the development of higher education in the United States, comparison, generalization and systematization to identify the features of the theory and practice of physical education of US students. Results. According to the American specialists, the majority of young people do not involve in motor activity regularly, despite the large number of studies that indicate its health benefits and quality of life. It is proved that some knowledge about the benefits of exercise is not enough to motivate most young people to start training, emphasizing the need to incorporate well-established habits of students’ behavior. Course for health promotion on the basis of the College should potentially include all the levers of influence on indicators of behavior change. Among the theories that explain how the behavior forms, the most relevant is the ecological model. A characteristic peculiarity of teaching physical education in higher education institutions of the United States is a difference in the effectiveness of its results, depending on their content. There are three types of programs: sports-oriented programs; programs aimed at the assimilation of the conceptual theoretical knowledge required for the formation of the motives and interests of a healthy lifestyle; mixed type programs that are a combination of the first two. Exactly conceptual information about the benefits of physical activity combined with practical sports activity allows for a more effective impact on the health and physical condition of young people than sports oriented programs in pure form as they give higher long-term outcomes in the form of shaped motives and interests to employment by physical activity. Among the information about health which is interesting to the students in the USA, physical activity and fitness take the third rank place. The perspective directions of further research are related to the improvement of the system of physical education of students in Ukraine on the basis of studying the experience of the United States.

(Polish title: Ocena prognozowanej sytuacji gospodarczej USA i wybranych krajow UE w latach 2012-2015 z wykorzystaniem metody pieciokata stabilizacji makroekonomicznej). The combined US and EU economies account for nearly half of the global GDP. In 2009, the total value of transatlantic economic relations, trade and investment flows included, was 780 billion euros. The scope and intensity of these relations are determined by multi- and bilateral initiatives such as ratified treaties or the activity of the TEC (Transatlantic Economic Council). Unquestionably, the quality of economic ties largely depends on the economic condition of parties involved. The knowledge concerning the factors of economic success is a prerequisite for international economic coordination undertaken in order to identify any irregularities and imbalances and thus address possible crises. This paper, attempts to evaluate the macroeconomic situation of the USA and selected EU countries: France, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom and Poland in years 2012-2015. The used methodology bases on the concept of Macroeconomic Stabilisation Pentagon (MSP), which in the literature is applied mainly for the analysis of emerging and developing countries. The results obtained indicate that Germany may have the most stable economy, as measured by MSP, which, however, seems to be deteriorating, deteriorating over time, whereas Poland, whose macroeconomic performance ranks at the bottom of the list, should experience steady improvement.
