However, the economic effects of monocentricity are almost exhausted, and the limits of polarisation and effective growth attainable with the model are nearly reached. This calls for a transition to a polycentric urbanisation model through developing local centres and enhancing transport connectivity between them. It seems that, in the new economic and political conditions, Russia’s two coastal border regions will benefit the most ...

Germany viewed this development as highly favourable and consequently utilized both military and political tools in the Baltic ...

In all these cases, Denmark’s primary motivation was to please the ...
Expansionism in Poland’s strategic culture: historical retrospective and variations

In a civil state, people become an active subject when they perform the function of the legislator. In other cases, people as a political ...
