Traditionally, applied aspects of human geography are mainly associated with economic geography, regional development and spatial planning.          In the debate on the application potential of the discipline, a number of important problems of social, political and cultural geography, relevant to various contemporary processes on a global and regional scale, are marginalized. For this reason, the author undertakes a critical rethinking of the current debate on the applied aspects of research in human geography.          A brief review of the conceptual and institutional development of applied geography in the world and in selected national schools is made. The author also distinguishes two research orientations: 1) strategic orientation – connected to studies carried out at the international, national and macro-regional spatial levels; 2) operational orientation – concerning applied studies undertook on a scale of separate municipalities, cities, neighbourhoods or even separate streets and buildings. Taking an attempt to overcome the narrow understandings of the frameworks of applied human geography, the author presents a new definition and tries to identify the main challenges for geographers that work in the field of Human Geography. Applied aspects of basic directions of human geography from the point of view of their broader interdisciplinary ties are also indicated.

Until the late 1980s and the dawn of the end of the Eastern Bloc, communist Bulgaria was considered to be the closest ally of the Soviet Union. Now, 30 years later, the Bulgarian state has been integrated into the main Euro-Atlantic organisations. Taking these radical changes as its starting point, this article outlines the process and consequences of post-1989 geopolitical and geoeconomic reorientation of Bulgaria. The aim was also to present the main geopolitical challenges in Bulgaria’s relations with Russia and Turkey. These states have been influencing the political, economic and cultural development of Bulgaria for centuries. The effects of their influence have remained problematic to this day. As Bulgaria remains a country with a complex geopolitical position, it continues its twentieth-century strategy and tries to maintain balance between its own national interest and the influence of the main centres of power. The author draws particular attention to the fact that the model based on the variability of geopolitical priorities was once again confirmed in the analysed period. This model is not only based on pragmatism in relations with the outside world, which is traditional for the Bulgarian political elite, but is also dependant on the temporary distribution of power within the Balkan geopolitical knot. It seems that the model will continue to be valid, at least in the near future.

Increased geopolitical competition and growing economic nationalism after 2014 have gradually started to slow the trend of liberalization of international trade. Relations among certain national states have turned into trade wars – a hybrid phenomenon shaped at the intersection of geopolitics and geoeconomics. The paper explores global and regional trends in trade regulations introduced by the world’s largest economies and, at the same time, its major military powers. The G20 countries’ role in these processes was illustrated through references to empirical data on the dynamics of the introduced trade regulations in 2009–2018. The effectiveness of the regulations index is proposed. Apart from the harm that deepening such negative trends in the global geostrategic balance does to broader bilateral relations, the role of trade wars in re-shaping globalization’s established conditions is also discussed.

W artykule przedstawiono zarys aktualnych problemów teoretycznych i aplikacyjnych w geograficznych badaniach nad tożsamością terytorialną w wybranych krajach Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej po 1990 r. Uwzględniono zarówno uwarunkowania społeczno-ekonomiczne i kulturowe w krajach pokomunistycznych, jak procesy zachodzące na poziomie ogólnoeuropejskim i globalnym. Wybrane aktualne aspekty transformacji tożsamości terytorialnej zostały przeanalizowane w globalnym, ponadnarodowym, narodowym, regionalnym i lokalnym wymiarze. Szerzej omówiono województwo śląskie, przede wszystkim konurbację katowicką jako przykład stosunkowo niewielkiej przestrzeni, w której krzyżuje się i współistnieje szereg tożsamości regionalnych i lokalnych. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na możliwość zastosowania aplikacyjnego badań nad tożsamością w różnych dyscyplinach naukowych, m.in. w stosunkach międzynarodowych, gospodarce przestrzennej, polityce regionalnej, w marketingu i gospodarce turystycznej.
