The article aims to present the impact of new media (called media 2.0 / web 2.0) on contemporary armed conflicts. Thanks to research conducted on new media and communication activity of terrorist organisations and armed forces of USA and Israel the author can conclude, that no matter what kind of organisation it is, all of them are using new media and are good in it. Web 2.0 is used to spread propaganda, to mobilise followers or members of organisation, to recruite new jihadist or soldiers, to show „human face” of military organisations or to build and strenght connections between comand and subordinaters. But although the use of media 2.0 is so common and succesfull, the article present also challenges and risks connected with inapropriate exploitation of this technology.

As a process of broadening the security category, securitisation is used to draw attention to urgent and existential threats that cannot be resolved through ordinary political decisions. It presupposes the authorisation of extraordinary measures as long as they are accepted by the “audience” (the elite or society as a whole). Due to the growing importance of these processes, more and more objections and doubts have been formulated towards the theory of securitisation regarding, inter alia, the morality of these processes, including the intentions of securitising actors (just or unjust securitisation). This article presents case studies on the Poland’s migration policy, in which securitisation movements reinforced social mobilisation by referring to the category of security. The methodological framework of the securitisation theory and the just securitisation theory have been implemented. The presented results indicate that in the process of extending the security category, it is important to study the intentions of securitising actors and the existential dimension of the reported threats due to the power of influence and the effects of securitisation measures.
