Od potęgi do „zacofania” i… z powrotem? Droga rozwoju Państwa Środka w ujęciu globalno-historycznym
From the power to the “backwardness” and ... back? The way of development of the Middle Kingdom in global-historical context

Summary/Abstract: After the global crisis of capitalism in 2008, because of which the world economy is in shock until today, that fact that China will address the role of global hegemon becomes even more likely than before. On the other hand, China has structural problems with its model of development and face the challenge of its profound reconstruction, so as not to crash on any of the piled up obstacles in front of him. Insight into the economic history of the world and the use of the conceptual grid, used in world-systems theory, allows us to shed some new light on China’s dilemmas. There is no doubt that the choices made today by the Middle Kingdom will be signifi cant for the future of the whole world. Large-scale reshuffl e in the international arena rarely are mild and peaceful. If China will occupy a central position in the world, it will be rather a return from the former abdicate than completely new situation in the history of mankind.
