Citizen's identity in the modern states is made up of several components, not only of a single one. Therefore, the conception of European identity also must integrate several components of political mainstreams. And, behind them, there also must be different interpretations of society, as well as different images of man. The present state of Europe is a state of gradual lagging behind other regions of the world. Staying behind on national level, of course, cannot be a national interest, especially not in the age of globalization. Therefore, the real dilemma of European nations lies not in the maintenance of their traditional sovereignty or in their submission to the European Union. The real dilemma is whether they, standing together, will be able to overcome challenges of this age, or they will keep up the root causes of lagging behind.

What is and where is the Islamic World in 2019? If we understand the Islamic World as all Muslim-majority countries, according to the Pew Research Center (2015) we would find 50 such countries with a total population of over 1.8 billion. The highest percentage (91%) of the total population in a region considering themselves Muslim, can be found in the Middle East-North Africa (MENA). The starting point of Muslim history would be the prophet Muhammad’s revelation in the 7th century, followed by the Islamic Golden Age (8th–14th centuries), when Muslims were ahead of the rest of the world in the arts, science, philosophy, and technology. This period is still remembered and cherished with pride by both Sunni and Shia Muslims, the two biggest denominations within Islam, which – despite common misconceptions in the West – is not a monolith but splits into different religious schools and branches. The modern era has been marked by the more or less direct colonial domination of European powers which left its legacy in many states belonging now to the Islamic world. Much of today’s turmoil in the MENA region has its roots in the colonial times and the fault lines drawn by the European politicians. However, the blame cannot be wholly assigned to external powers: the list of factors contributing to the Middle East’s present complex and often difficult situation is long and includes many internal issues.

In this book the author interpretates the meaning of the duty of faithfulness to the Commonwealth of Poland described in the article 82 of the Constitution of Poland. Contesting to date findings of the doctrine of the Polish constitutional law on the meaning of this duty, the author is reaching to the Polish constitutional tradition, analysing consecutive Polish constitutions in order to find whether the duty of faithfulness was described in their text and to determine the interpretation of this duty by legal doctrine of that time. Moreover the author in his deliberations is making use of records of sessions of the Constitutional Commission of the National Assembly which was working on the project of the Constitution of Poland in years 1992–1997. The author is referring to the work of this Commission with purpose to determine how the duty of faithfulness to the Commonwealth of Poland as well as terms “the nation” and “the commonwealth” were then understood. Conclusions summarize the findings and establish the interpretation of the duty of faithfulness to the Commonwealth of Poland described in the article 82 of the Constitution of Poland.

The aim of the book is to analyze the political conceptions of the monthly“Kultura” in the period since its creation antil 1980. The magazine, whichstarted coming out in 1947 in Italy, was created by expatriate Poles, who afterthe Yalta Agreements chose to stay in the West. The editorial board soonmoved to France where on the outskirts of Paris in the small town of Maisons-Laffitte the monthly journal has been edited ever since. Thanks to the originalprofile of the magazine and its political philosophy it has managed to grouparound itself numerous outstanding Polish writers and commentators, boththose active in the emigré communities and those living in Poland. AlsoWestern authors as well as writers and commentators from other countries inCentral and Eastern Europe published their texts on the magazine’s pages.In spite of “Kultura’s” illustrious successes and unique accomplishments,earlier research on its history has hot moved beyond its initial stage. Inpublications devoted to the phenomenon of “Kultura” we may encountercontradictory ideological qualifications and opinions on the magazine’spolitical profile. This is a consequence of the fact that there is a painful lackof source materials and books analyzing the accomplishments of “Kultura”from a longterm perspective. This book aims to fill out this gap by analyzinga period of over thirty years in the history of the periodical. An attempt ismade to divide this history into periods on the basis of ideological and politicalcriteria. A further aim is to define the style of political thinking dominant inthe materials published in the periodical and to characterize it against thebackground of earlier political debates in pre-war Poland. The adopteddiachronic perspective and the wide spectrum of analyzed phenomena willprovide the basis for an assessment of which conceptions and ideologicalelements and values were constantly present in the political platform of theeditors and which made only a temporary appearance in connection with thepolitical sympathies of the periodical or the changing circumstances on theworld scene. It should be added that this is the first book on the subject totruly cover the comprehensive research material and to analyze the politicaltrends in “Kultura” from a long-term perspective.The main thesis of the book may be formulated(excerpt from the summary)
