Purpose This paper aims to analyze the development of Spanish economic thought in the 1940s and 1950s, focusing on the foundation of the Faculty of Political and Economic Sciences in 1943. Using a Foucauldian approach, this study explores the power structures that fostered intellectual alignments with the Francoist Regime, while also identifying the academics who shaped Spain’s negotiations for entry into the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the Organization for European Economic Cooperation. Design/methodology/approach The paper is structured around four themes: 1. The origins of the Faculty of Political and Economic Sciences and its first graduating class. 2. The economic orthodoxy of the 1940s as the foundation for intellectual change and the debates of the early 1950s. 3. The role of a politically influential sector, closely tied to the Catholic Church, that embraced liberal capitalism. 4. The externally driven push for economic liberalization, which led to internal conflict within the 1957 government, particularly involving Castiella and Ullastres. Findings This study has highlighted the crucial role of the first Faculty of Political Science and Economics in dismantling the autarkic framework of the Spanish Franco Regime. The economic orthodoxy of its curricula and the academic rigor of its faculty were decisive in producing specialists proficient in the mechanisms of Western capitalism, which dominated postwar Europe after 1945, a period characterized by reinforced international economic cooperation, particularly following the establishment of the IMF. The database used in this study has been drawn directly from the archives of the Faculty of Economic and Business Sciences at the Complutense University of Madrid. Originality/value The role of the first Faculty of Political Science and Economics in the Spanish 1959 stabilization program has never been studied using data from the files of the Faculty itself, which shows the importance of knowledge and university in the transformation of the Francoist regime during the 1940 and the1950s. This study shows that the impulse of the opening of Spanish economy came from the US but was facilitated by the embededness of a internationalist thought that came back to 1943, which was in alignment with the Catholic thought of the time. The different people involved in this transformation are stressed, in particular the role of Castiella, undervalued in the literature.

Wincenty Witos – statesman and leader of the people's movement. Report from the scientific and educational conference dedicated to Wincenty Witos on the 150th anniversary of his birth. Faculty of Political Science and Journalism, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, November 7, 2024

The sociology of organization, as well as sociology in general is of a relatively new date and a new development. Generally, the sociological tradition in Yugoslavia is not very strong, as before the Second World War it did not exist at all, and after the War up until sixties it was considered as a bourgeois science not appropriate in a socialist society. Only after the general trend of liberalization in the early Sixties it gained the status of a scientific field parallel to economics, psychology and other social sciences. With the exception of the general sociology offered as a course on various faculties to give the students only the general insights into social phenomena, one of the most developed special fields in sociology is the sociology of organizations. It started to develop ten years ago as industrial sociology, and although it developed into a special branch, one still can find that the two names are used interchangeably. One indication of its flourishing is the fact that organizational sociology either under its original name or as industrial sociology -:is the credit course at the univerisities in Zagreb, Belgrade, Ljubljana, at all the faculties of the social sciences, at some technical faculties and the majority of economic faculties, which are numerous. At the sociological departments at the University of Zagreb and University of Ljubljana it is given as a separate course at the postgraduate level, but there is also a possibility of specialization in the field for those postgraduate students who get several courses in industrial/organizational sociology and complete a thesis on the subject. The other indication of the rapid development of this sociological branch is *the number of scientific centers or departments at various scientific institutions, throughout Yugoslavia. Attached to the University of Zagreb, Ljubljana, and Sarajevo are the Institutes of Social Research, each of which comprises one department concerned solely with the sociology of organization or industrial sociology. In Ljubljana such a center is situated at the Faculty of Political Sciences and Journalism. Only in Belgrade it doesn't exist in the scope of the University, but there is a department for industrial sociology at the Institute for Social Sciences outside the University.

Professor Jan Rowiński died on 2 January 2023 in Piaseczno (near Warsaw). He was a member of the Academic Council of the Centre of East Asian Studies at the University of Gdańsk and of the scholarly bi-annual journal Gdańsk East Asian Studies. Jan Rowiński was a professor of the University of Warsaw. As a scholar and a diplomat, he was concerned with China for most of his professional life. He wrote many scholarly articles and books on the politics, culture, and history of China, and his passion for these subjects inspired generations of undergraduates, doctoral students, and colleagues. Inter alia, he owed his knowledge of China and the Chinese to the experience of the many years he spent there first as a student and later as a diplomat. He was born on 11 May 1936 in Kiełpiny. From 1954 to 1959, he studied at the University of Beijing and at the Institute of Diplomacy in Beijing.

He witnessed the transformations that took place in China, and observed the changes in the structures of power there. China had a considerable influence on his way of life. It is difficult to overestimate his contribution to research into that part of the world. His professional life ran on two tracks: on one hand, in diplomacy; on the other, in the academic world. As an employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs he worked in the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Beijing. Between 1995 and 2001, he was counsellor-minister plenipotentiary and deputy ambassador of the Republic of Poland to the People’s Republic of China. From 1969, he was connected with the Polish Institute of International Affairs, where he held several academic posts, and after completing his habilitation in 1987 was appointed professor there. In 2002, he became professor at the Institute of International Relations of the University of Warsaw in the Faculty of Journalism and Political Science, where he worked until 2013. At the University of Warsaw, he conducted classes on the foreign policies of China and Japan, the history and civilization of East Asia, and international relations in the Asia-Pacific region. He supervised the work of many doctoral students and reviewed doctoral and post-doctoral dissertations. For his achievements, Professor Rowiński was awarded the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta and the Gold Cross of Merit.
