Abstract

The fourth chapter focuses on how program documents concerning the security concepts (strategies and doctrines) of the principal participants of the Euro-Atlantic system identify threats and challenges to security, and how they present the aims, means and methods of security policy. The author analyses the security concepts of the US, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Poland as a middle power, NATO, the EU, Russia, and the Russia-led Collective Security Treaty Organization. He notes that terrorism is identified as the main threat by almost all those entities and shows the evolution of their perception of other challenges and threats. In the final section, the author points to similarities and differences between security concepts in light of the theory of international relations. He concludes that the rise of divergent interests among the participants of the Euro-Atlantic security system is accompanied by a return to the traditional, militarized understanding of security, in keeping with the premises of the realist paradigm.

    The National Security Strategic Review was an institution established in January 2010 by President Bronisław Komorowski. The aim of the NSSR was to assess comprehensively Poland’s national security and formulate conclusions regarding the state’s strategic objectives and practices in the field of security as the preparation of the national security system. He author of the present book was a member of the NSSR Commission. The Report of the NSSR Commission, containing key conclusions and recommendations concerning Poland’s security policy formed the basis for the publishing in April 2013 of the White Book on National Security of the Republic of Poland (2013).
