Polish geopolitical vertigo: Grassroots popular geopolitics meets right-wing populism
How can you help us, Mr Darwin? Social Darwinism in the history of Chinese international thought
Social Darwinism was a pathbreaker in the history of Chinese international thought. In this study, we explore the hitherto sparsely discussed process of the reception of social Darwinism in China, which led to a fundamental transformation in Chinese thinking about the international order and the position of China vis-à-vis Western powers. Drawing on the work of three leaders of that intellectual transformation – Yan Fu, Kang Youwei, and Liang Qic…
Balancing Is in the Eye of the Beholder: Explaining the Critical Case of Late Imperial China
Balancing is at the core of the realist approach to the behaviour of states in international relations. Excluding cases of state incoherence, states are expected to balance promptly and infallibly whenever the balance of power shifts to their disadvantage.

Common legacy, different paths: The transformation of educational systems in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland
The goal of this work is to better understand the institutional changes in the educational systems of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia.

Differences between the national appro…
Education as a Source and Tool of Soft Power in International Relations
As the term ‘soft power’ in international relations (IR) has been coined by Joseph Nye a quarter of a century ago it has gained a great response and initiated numerous debates. A high quality education sector is one of the important factors that contributes to a country’s soft power. Despite that, as shown in the article, education has not been adequately covered in the existing IR literature. The article addresses this lacuna by offering an atte…
