Artykuł stanowi analizę górnictwa państw z dwóch kręgów kulturowych: Zachodu (Europa, Ameryka Pn., Australia i Nowa Zelandia) i Wschodu (Rosja i obszar postsowiecki). Analiza dotyczy zmian w wielkości produkcji większości surowców mineralnych. Uwzględniono zakres czasowy obejmujący zarówno czasy prosperującej gospodarki światowej (2001-2007) oraz czasy kryzysu (2008-2012). Dane do porównania zaczerpnięte zostały z dwóch źródeł: USGS oraz BGS. Celem analizy porównawczej na zebranych danych jest przedstawienie perspektyw rozwoju gospodarki światowej, w tym zmian równowagi geoekonomicznej i roli bezpieczeństwa surowcowego i energetycznego w tych dwóch blokach państw. Artykuł zilustrowano specjalnie przygotowanymi mapami gospodarczymi i ma za zadanie stanowić podstawę dla dalszej dyskusji nad bezpieczeństwem i geopolityką oraz przyszłością relacji obydwóch bloków.

This paper focuses on contemporary mining industry situation of two civilizations: West (Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand) and East (Russia and Rest of post-soviet area). Analysis conducted in this paper shows changes in production output of most mineral resources in years of general prosperity (2001-2007) as well as years of crisis (2008-2012). All data were collected from two sources: USGS and BGS. Main aim of analysis was comparative description of future perspectives of world economy. Besides collected data were useful for studies in geoeconomics, resource and energy security of both cultural/military blocks. Reported inequalities in mineral production were shown in tables as well as specially prepared maps, what puts this paper in good position as start-point of any discussion about future security, geopolitics and geoeconomics of those two parts of the world.

Most of the Central and Eastern European and post-soviet countries have a longlasting tradition of emigration and possess large diasporas, often dispersed all over the world. Due to their volume and socio-economic position diasporas become on the one hand independent entities in international relations, on the other – influential actors on the political scene in the country of origin and targets of state’s policy. This article aims to analyze the political impact of diasporas on the relations with country of origin as well as on international politics. The case studies are countries of Central and Eastern Europe and post-soviet region. The article consists of four parts. The first is devoted to the conceptual considerations around the definition of diaspora and its role as subject and object of politics. The next two parts analyse the place of diasporas as actors in international relations and in the internal politics of the countries of origin. In the last section the diaspora politics are discussed, illustrated by selected examples of countries of the region.

Approaches of researchers from the West and the East were initially based on the transition towards democracy. These models proved unsatisfactory because it was not clear about defi ning democracy and its targeted form. The theoretical frameworks failed to describe the political reality of the post-Soviet states. With the turn of the millennium, approaches have emerged, called political regimes, with adjectives, whether democratic or authoritarian. These models were able to better describe the political reality of ambiguous political regimes, especially in the post-Soviet area, over the transition. The fundamental reassessment was brought by models of sultanism and neopatrimonialism. The text follows the development of the scientific debate on political regimes in the post-soviet area. By addressing the characteristics of democracy and configuration approaches, emphasis is placed on neopatrimonial concepts.

This article claims that the legacy of European imperialism and colonialism in Africa can be conceptually compared to the legacy of Russian and Soviet imperialism and colonialism in the former USSR republics and the nations of Central and Easter Europe that were under Soviet dominations. Despite the obvious fact that the historical conditions and paths of African nations that were colonized, repressed and ruled by the European empires differ significantly from the experience of the nations of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, that were conquered and colonized by the Russian Empire and later on were subjects to the Soviet rule, it is suggested in this article, that the conceptual lessons drawn from the vast literature dedicated to the studies of the aftermath of colonialism in Africa can enrich the scholarly efforts aimed at understanding the post-soviet spaces and different processes in it. What is meant by “conceptual lessons” is methodological opportunity for a different perspective or even a different lens through which the legacy of the Soviet rule and the current Russian neo-imperial foreign politics can be better understood. Much is written about the European imperialism and its colonial policies, however there is still some reluctance in applying the methodological framework of postcolonial studies to the former Soviet Union and present day Russia. Scholars all over the world studied the colonial legacies that African nations struggled to overcome and there are topics of particular relevance to the study of the post-soviet space: the processes of post-colonial nation building, the roles of new national elites, the ideological choices in foreign policies of newly independent nations, the aftermath of the policies of assimilation, the imperial “ideologies of superiority”, the economic consequences of colonialism, the role of churches and religious organizations in supporting colonial suppression – as conceptual topics, all of them can be studied critically, also in a comparative perspective, to have a much better understanding of the former soviet and current Russian foreign politics and policies.
