THINKTANK and CSM’s briefing with Aleksander Kwaśniewski, the former President of Poland
Latest events, which have been happening in Ukraine, carry a not-only geopolitical importance. Those changes are also significant for the neighboring countries, including Poland. In order to understand the essence of the political, economic and social processes, which have been taking place in Ukraine for years now, we need to understand the political, economic and social changes.

We wish to highly recommend the recent report by Dr. Dieter Dettke, “Hungary’s Jobbik Party the Challenge of European Ethno-Nationalism and the future of the European Project”. The report was prepared for the Center for International Relations and in cooperation with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington DC. The author warns, on the example of Jobbik party, against very dangerous consequences both for political and social systems, which can be triggered by the rising ethno-nationalism in face of economic crisis.

On 27-28 November 2014 the second edition of the POLANDAFRICA Congress took place in in Łódź, attended by the highest representatives of the Polish and African governments. In regard to this event, CIR and THINKTANK prepared a Lexicon of African Countries in English. The publication is a unique, in-depth analysis on the political and economic situation in each country as well as its investment opportunities. The profile of each of the 54 countries also includes information on its history, social issues, relations with Poland and many other interesting data enriched with quotes. The Lexicon also includes a knowledge base on the Polish diplomatic missions in Africa and representatives of African countries accredited in Poland.
