The topic of female researchers interviewing male subjects has received previous attention, but few scholarly works focus specifically on sensitive topics such as sexual behaviors. The discrepancy suggests that even though women researchers interview men about sensitive issues, sexuality still seems out of bounds. Based on our research, we found it intellectually and emotionally challenging to interview men about sexually degrading behaviors. In the present article, we focus on the gender performances by both the interviewees and interviewers, including how the structure of the interview affects gendered interactions in interviews and the vulnerability we experienced as a result. We conclude by suggesting a few strategies that future women researchers can employ when conducting cross-gender, in-depth interviews with men about sex. We also raise questions for feminist researchers about how best to handle sexist, racist, and derogatory remarks made by interviewees.

This article asks how new rules of political conduct are established in a country attempting political transformation and sweeping economic change. Based on a close analysis of the conflict over property policy and its effect on Russian executive–legislative relations in the 1990s, the study argues that regardless of formal distributions of power, the real allocation of policy-making authority is shaped in struggles over substantive policy issues. Those arenas, especially during the first years after the fall of an authoritarian regime, can function as "political classrooms" in which leaders either adopt or reject such practices as compromise and negotiation.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the EU economic position in 1995–2014 as well as the prospective growth potential in the global dimension up to 2025. The subject of the research is real and projected data including: GDP growth rate, main growth factors (labour, labour productivity and Total Factor Productivity), and their input to GDP growth, as well as data showing public debts and budget deficits. The analysis was conducted for the years 1995–2014 and 2015–2025. The authors' basic conclusions are: 1) the technological and economic gap between the European Union and the United States has been deepening; 2) the increasing polarisation of world economic powers and low GDP growth in the European Union limit the EU's chances of maintaining the position as the second centre in the world economy; 3) improving the situation in public finances in the European Union as compared to the US is a factor which could raise GDP growth rates in European countries, however, there are countries whose future is in doubt due to the dramatically poor state of public finances, such as Greece, Italy, Portugal or Ireland; 4) economic growth forecasts indicate a deepening of the economic gap between the largest EU countries and the US. ; Celem artykułu jest ocena pozycji gospodarczej Unii Europejskiej w latach 1995–2014 oraz perspektyw wzrostu do 2025 roku w wymiarze globalnym. Przedmiotem analizy są realne i prognozowane dane zawierające: stopę wzrostu PKB, główne czynniki wzrostu (nakłady pracy, wydajność pracy i TFP) oraz ich wkład do wzrostu PKB, a także dane prezentujące stan finansów publicznych (deficyt budżetowy i dług publiczny). Analiza została przeprowadzona dla okresów 1995–2014 oraz 2015–2025. Główne wnioski są następujące: 1) luka technologiczna i gospodarcza między Unią Europejską i Stanami Zjednoczonymi pogłębia się, 2) rosnąca polaryzacja światowych potęg gospodarczych i niski wzrost PKB w Unii Europejskiej ogranicza jej szanse utrzymania pozycji drugiego centrum gospodarki światowej, 3) lepsza sytuacja w dziedzinie finansów publicznych w Unii Europejskiej ogółem w porównaniu do USA jest czynnikiem poprawiającym perspektywy wzrostu krajów europejskich, jednak są kraje, których przyszłość stoi pod znakiem zapytania ze względu na drastycznie złą sytuację w dziedzinie finansów publicznych, takie jak: Grecja, Włochy, Portugalia czy Irlandia, 4) prognozy wzrostu gospodarczego wskazują, że luki gospodarcze pomiędzy największymi krajami UE i USA nadal będą się pogłębiały.

In 1969 James Cone, AME minister and professor of theology, published Black Theology and Black Power with the aim of theologically redefining the place of the Christian church in terms of black oppression. My paper aims to show how Black Theology proponents answered the black community's need for more radical empowerment after the Civil Rights Movement by articulating the necessity of spirituality to achieve liberation. I show the "dilemma" of being African American and Christian by contrasting the progress of the religiously fueled Civil Rights Movement with the emergence of militant Black Power movements in the context of continued racial violence and socio-economic injustice. In addition, I would like to raise discussion about problems and successes of Cone's published theology in terms of African-American history. I have conducted my research through the close examination of a variety of both secondary and primary historical texts, including peer-reviewed journals, contemporary and historical interviews and articles from major African-American periodicals from the 1960s. My goal with this research is to reveal the complexity of the African-American struggle for Civil Rights and highlight the historical importance of Black Theology to religion, politics, and society in the United States. I believe my access to diverse sources spanning the past fifty years, and careful observation of Black Theology and its origins, provide a more intricate perspective both to the study of United States history and to the African-American experience.
