In: Obrana a strategie: Defence & strategy, Band 15, Heft 1, S. 47-62

Abstract

The new Polish National Security Strategy was approved at the end of the last year. Its creation reflected ongoing shifts in global security environment most importantly the Ukrainian crisis and current assertive behaviour of the Russian federation towards her traditional areas of geostrategic interest. It focuses on a transmission of strategic priorities from participation in international operations to an imminent provision of the Polish territorial defence. New priorities are laid upon national defence potential, fulfilment of commitments towards the NATO and strategic partnership with the United States.
