Item Rosja w poszukiwaniu modelu reżimu politycznego – „poliarchia zachodnia” czy „azjatycka demokracja”(Wydawnictwo Naukowe WNPiD UAM w Poznaniu, 2012) Potulski, JakubOne of the fields of interest of modern political science involves the process of transformation of political systems, understood as the transition from nondemocratic to democratic systems. One of the countries undergoing such a political transformation is the Russian Federation, which in the nineteen-nineties faced the need to reject the model of the socio-political system of the Soviet Union, and to adjust to the emerging global civilization dominated by the models originating in West European countries. The paper emphasizes that, on account of the difficulties related to the process of political transformation, at the beginning of the new millennium West European models began to be supplanted by the models of Asian countries enjoying impressive economic growth while maintaining paternalist and authoritarian mechanisms of power. The author of the paper stresses that the political system of the modern Russian Federation is a particular mix of European and Asian models. Its functioning does not resemble the political regimes of polyarchy as much as those described as ‘Asian democracies’. The author indicates that given the present developmental stage of the Russian Federation, this models appears to be more practical and adequate in the political and cultural reality of modern Russia.Item „Rosja wyparta z Europy” – konsekwencje dla porządku międzynarodowego na progu XXI w(Wydawnictwo Naukowe WNPiD UAM w Poznaniu, 2010) Potulski, JakubThe anti-Occidental turn of Russian policy does not have to be permanent as the Russians still have a strong feeling of belonging toEuropean culture and civilization ; yet winning the Russian Federation’s ‘backing’ as a partner of the West will be difficult and significantly more costly than it would have been in the early 1990s, when Russia was ready to make considerable concessions, to undergo the process of modernization and democratization in return for being included in the ‘common European home.’ The consequence of current processes in the international environment is that Gorbatchev’s vision, which became the foundation for the pro-Western turn in Russian policy, has never been further away from its implementation.
