Nineteen-year-old Jacek in 1983 became a student of the Maritime University in Gdynia. He spent the first semester on the Dar Młodzieży sailing ship, covering the Gdynia-Osaka-Gdynia route. The book is a diary written during this voyage: together with the author, we look into the cubicle and mess hall, keep watch with him and visit port cities. Thanks to the combination of his youthful energy with the skill of mature, insightful observation, a book was created that is not only a collection of memories, but also a record of a bygone era and the confrontation of Polish experiences with the then unreal world of Western Europe and the Far East.

In New Asian Disorder: Rivalries Embroiling the Pacific Century, Lowell Dittmer and his team explore the recent political disorder in East Asia resulting from growing Sino-American polarization. The rise of China in recent years is widely regarded as a momentous shift in the global balance of power. China is now extending sovereignty into the East China Sea and the South China Sea, constructing a new set of global financial institutions and replacing “universal values” with technologically enhanced nationalism. The country’s “Belt and Road Initiative” is also tainted by the vast ambition to realize the “China Dream” within the foreseeable future. In response to China’s challenge, the United States has abandoned its “constructive engagement” policy towards the rising power and engaged in a trade war. Sino-American relations have been at a historical trough since the normalization of their relationship in the late 1970s. This book sheds new light on the current political disorder in the East Asian international arena. The new Asian disorder is analyzed from three perspectives: the first focuses on identity, the second on political economy, and the third on the triangular dynamic. This collection of essays concludes that, unless and until consensus can be reached on a coherent new framework for cooperation and rule enforcement among different stakeholders in East Asia, the current disorder may be expected to persist.
