== Criticism ==
Bartosiak is described as an interesting and brilliant writer who enriches the Polish debate. His work also meets criticism of the scientific community. For instance, Michał Lubina defines Bartosiak's journalism with geopoliticalism, which he defines as "the perception of all spheres of political life through the prism of geopolitics". 
In his reflections, Bartosiak allegedly overlooks the existence of the European Union. In journalism, Bartosiak uncritically adopts traditional, nineteenth-century Darwinist geopolitical concepts (Halford Mackinder, Alfred Mahan, Rudolf Kjellén), apart from their subsequent undermining in the science of international relations, and the fact that most of those ideas were intended to justify the imperialist policies of the powers of the time, including the expansion of the Third Reich (Friedrich Ratzel, Karl Haushofer).
