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 of the indolence of its international organizations is slowly coming to an end. The twenty-first century will bear witness to numerous new conflicts, arms race, 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, specialists characterized by an exceptionally wide range of competences and above-average analytical skills. They are professional analysts who are able to use scientific bases of research to analyse various phenomena and data, interpret them, and – most importantly – report them in a skilful and understandable way.
