China is often seen as the antithesis of the US – the two great powers…
The Sino-American Struggle for Normative Security
W czterdziestolecie sankcji wobec Iranu. Analiza przyczyn i skutków polityczno-gospodarczych
Artykuł ma na celu ocenę skuteczności sankcji stosowanych przez państwa Zachodu wobec Iranu w okresie 40 lat (1979–2019). We wstępie postawiono hipotezę, że skoordynowane sankcje Stanów Zjednoczonych i państw europejskich mogą doprowadzić do osiągnięcia głównego celu wobec Iranu: ograniczenia programu nuklearnego rozwijanego przez to państwo.

The article presents main American-French divergencies in the period preceding the International Economic Conference in London.

The efforts to bring the attitudes nearer were taken by the Ame…
