National Security of the Republic of Poland
Zeszyty Naukowe Akademii Sztuki Wojennej
Issues related to national security problems have long been of interest to many research centres. National security, due to its role and importance for the functioning of both the state and society, has become an important research area not only for military specialists, but also civilian experts. However, despite the unquestioned principle of the need to study the problems of national security, dispute issues are increasingly appearing that require new solutions based on scientific foundations or a fuller interpretation of the applicable rules of conduct. Security as a research area is multidimensional, it is analysed primarily in terms of organisation and subject. Therefore, there is no doubt the thesis that ensuring security is a fundamental duty of the state, because it really determines the sense of its existence. The security of the state is of course also the security of its citizens. Since the dawn of human history, the security of the individual has been associated with sta...
Critical Assessment of the Operation of the State Security Systems in Poland
Revista Română de Geografie Politică
The undertaken research on the assessment of the operation of state security systems is an attempt to critically assess them from the point of view of a citizen. The aim of the work is to analyze the systemic approach to security in relation to its actual state. The work uses methods typical of social sciences, which include security sciences. To carry out the research, monographic methods, qualitative content analysis and comparative analysis were used. The work indicates that a number of security threats occurring in the country were analyzed. Among those causing the greatest problems, and at the same time neglected, are social threats related to demographic problems. Economic threats related to the current financial situation and threats resulting from poor protection of cyberspace. It was pointed out that, despite the existence of appropriate systems to counteract the threat, there is a lack of it. The repeatability of events constituting a threat and the lack of implementation ...
Conditions for the process of ensuring the Republic of Poland’s security – selected problems
Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces, 2021
The processes of ensuring Poland’s security require the constant analysis of many factors that significantly affect the possibility of the emergence of threats to external and internal security. From the point of view of this criterion of understanding security, the political, military, economic, and social factors are crucial. Along with Poland’s accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Union, membership in these organizations has become the basis for building the national security system and is positively perceived by most of the society. However, it should be remembered that the volatility of the security environment and the immediate environment of Poland brings about new challenges (migration processes, energy supply issues, the power policy of the Russian Federation) that may give rise to anxiety and a sense of threat. The article aims to present selected conditions of the process of ensuring the security of Poland.
The New National Security Strategy of the Republic of Poland
Cybersecurity in Poland
The approval of the new security strategy of the Republic of Poland in May 2020 required paying attention to the terminological aspects of the concepts used in this document, as well as to legal issues, which were mainly connected with the problem of whether this act should be formally countersigned or not. An equally important issue was to draw attention to the fact that, in practice, two strategies were being developed in Poland’s legal system—one approved by the President of the Republic of Poland in his decision of May 12, 2020, and the other, which was in the form of a resolution of the Council of Ministers, applicable from 9 April 2013. The current strategy was preceded by earlier strategies and the White Paper on National Security of the Republic of Poland. The strategy of May 12, 2020 is a comprehensive document that sheds light on all elements of national security. Its content addresses such phenomena as hybridity, operation in cyberspace, the need for new technologies, and...
A handy phrase that can be used in discussions of the subject of security is a variation of a saying by Wojciech Roszkowski, namely that security is like "old wine in new bottles" 1 or an old issue of constantly changing form. Such a description of security points at two very important characteristics of security. The first is its timeless nature and universality due to its deep historical roots. The second is the fact that the issue of security undergoes continuous changes and covers ever newer areas. This condition is the result of the impact of both internal factors, such as the political and the social situation in a given area, and external factors, such as the international situation, the geopolitical constraints, globalization, etc. The above factors contribute to the dynamic growth of the academic field of security studies 2. This is reflected in the stream of new publications on the subject of security or dangers 3. Many of them contain different definitions of security, typologies, models, types, mechanisms, concepts, etc. Despite this broad presentation of the subject of security, most authors pay little attention to the practical applications of the solutions they discuss, e.g. when analyzing the status of security in a given territory; forecasting it in the short, medium, and long run; indicating causes of threats; or describing both internal and external determinants of the issues in question. The point is not to discredit or reject theoretical considerations of security, but rather to encourage their practical use, taking into account the real situations and facts. Despite the changes taking place in this area, security is still looked at only through the lens of 'hard security' which covers political, legal, police, and military factors (the so-called security quadrangle). 'Soft security', on the other hand, which covers the social, economic, cultural, ecological, demographic, and other factors, is often overlooked. Another typical trend is to analyze security only with reference to specific conditions (levels). This takes the form of analyses of more or less official reports, strategies, and expert

The subject matter of the analysis conducted in the text is information and anti-terrorist security of Poland, which has been presented within the context of a clash between two spheres – the state and the private sphere. Furthermore, the issues of security have been supplemented with a description of the tasks and activity of the Internal Security Agency, as well as a synthetic appraisal of a terrorist threat to Poland. The main parts of this work are concerned with: (1) the state and the private sphere, (2) " terrorism " and terrorist offences, (3) the tasks and activity of the Internal Security Agency, (4) an appraisal of a terrorist threat to Poland. Given the necessity to elaborate the research problem, the text features the following research questions: (1) To what extent does referring to a threat to security influence a limitation on rights and freedoms in Poland (with regard to the clash between the state and the private sphere)?, (2) To what extent do the tasks and activity of the Internal Security Agency influence the effectiveness of anti-terrorist security in Poland?
Security Politics Transformation in Poland after 1989
UA Foreign Affairs, 2013
Poland is a large country situated in the middle of Europe. It is regarded as an important partner and the «driving force» in the processes of democratization, integration and security in the region. Hence the regional importance of Poland is not questionable. Increasingly often, there appear also opinions about the legitimate ambitions of Poland to play an essential part in global security. Achieving these objectives has been helped by the fact that Polish security policy after 1989 remained basically outside the controversies and disagreements between major politicians and political parties. This paper is an attempt to present selected areas of Poland's activity in the field of international security. The analysis offered gives an account of formal and legal arrangements, and internal and external activities in this area.
