Dilemmas of Polish Military Strategy
Abstract
Throughout its long existence, the rules of regional geopolitics, historical experience and national strategic culture have had a deep impact on Polish security strategies. In the modern times, however, the national security environment is witnessing an appearance of new global trends and the birth of new paradigms of conflict. Security challenges require new approaches, but at the same time, they demand the preservation of equilibrium and harmony between objectives, concepts and resources. Motivated by the increasing complexity of emerging phenomena, Polish strategists are making efforts find the appropriate solutions to new demands. However, the evolving character of security alliances and the gradual shift of the global power balance will compel Poland to accept the consequences and risks of inevitable strategic choices. By analyzing foundations and the future challenges to national security concerns, this paper explores the wide range of factors that influence Polish contemporary strategic behavior and motivations in the broad context of current Euro-Atlantic relations.
