Book in Polish by Jacek Bartosiak. A systemic war is taking place between the superpowers over the shape of the future world. Poland therefore urgently needs an appropriate strategy to cope in the new era. Jacek Bartosiak, Poland's leading expert on geopolitics, analyses the current global situation and outlines in several variants a strategy for our country for the next several years. What are the most likely scenarios for an escalating conflict between China and the United States? What about an aggressive Russia? What direction must the European Union take and what will happen if it does not? Should Poland be guided by its own interests or by the vaguely defined 'world interest'? What position should we take in the event of an outbreak of open conflict between the superpowers? Is it even possible to solve the Polish 'squaring of the circle', i.e. to improve our position vis-a-vis Russia and Germany, to change our peripheral position vis-a-vis the old EU states, to gain greater decision-making independence from the US, but to retain American influence on European security? The end of history has not come. How are we to survive in the new Middle Ages? "We will never reach the end of history, not take each other's hands in a gesture of eternal peace and live without rivalry," - writes Bartosiak. The world is on the brink of a great war. But while this one has not yet erupted, the Polish political class should rub its eyes, get into action, and enter into a new social contract with society so that it does not suffer in the clash of superpowers. How to do this? This is what Jacek Bartosiak's book is about, written with flair and panache, and above all with the belief that a Pole does not have to be wise until after the event.
