Articles Marcin Przychodniak A New Strategy or Just a Change of Tactics? The Main Elements of China’s Foreign Policy during Xi Jinping’s First Term (s. 5) Modifications of China’s foreign policy during Xi Jinping’s first term as China’s Communist Party (CCP) secretary general are predominantly due to a change in strategy rather than in China’s core interests (its main goals). The new strategy focuses on fulfilling Chinese strategic interests rather than on providing economic benefits to guarantee development. Xi’s re-election to a second term during the 19th Party Congress means China’s activity on the international arena will be enhanced.

Piotr Długołęcki The Sonnenfeldt Doctrine: A Plan to Finlandize Eastern Europe (s. 115) In December 1975, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and his advisor Helmut Sonnenfeldt met in London with U.S. ambassadors in European countries. The meeting dedicated to American foreign policy in Europe was secret, but information leaked to the press gave rise to the notion of the “Sonnenfeldt Doctrine,” triggering an international debate on U.S. policy towards the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Media speculation about the “doctrine” put the authorities in Warsaw in an awkward position, resulting in denials that the State Department considered Eastern Europe a Soviet sphere of influence.
