Introduction
The current affairs on the global stage have unequivocally proven wrong all theories presaging the impending “end of history”. The era of the global dominance of the West, its disproportionate wealth, military power, and the indolence of its international organizations are slowly coming to an end. The twenty-first century will bear witness to numerous new conflicts, arms races, new geopolitical threats, and a slow yet systematic consolidation of the positions of the developing countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
The new reality has also necessitated a change in the obsolete methods employed in the teaching of Political Sciences. Our graduates are not just theoreticians, but specialists characterized by an exceptionally wide range of competencies and above-average analytical skills. They are professional analysts who are able to use scientific bases of research to analyze various phenomena and data, interpret them, and – most importantly – report them in a skillful and understandable way.
