Źródłem istotnej zmiany ról, funkcji, zadań sił zbrojnych pozostaje w ostatnim czasiedokonująca się dynamicznie zmiana ładu międzynarodowego. W ładzie minionym,w czasach zimnej wojny, znaczenie oraz użyteczność sił zbrojnych nie podlegały dyskusji,były oczywiste i zrozumiale. Zagrożenia i ich struktura były znane w wystarczającymdla racjonalnego przewidywania i planowania czasie. W związku z charakteremzagrożeń dla interesów życiowych całego państwa – od ideologicznych po gospodarcze– nie występowały dylematy dotyczące użycia sił zbrojnych. Jasne i osiągalne były celestawiane przed siłami zbrojnymi. W nowym środowisku międzynarodowym w istocienie wiadomo, jakie interesy powinny być chronione przy państwo; prawie niemożliwestaje się określenie teatrów działań państwa. Dobiega końca kolejny rok tzw. wojnyz terroryzmem. Przedwczesna byłaby próba udzielenia odpowiedzi na postawione pytanie,jak mają wyglądać skuteczne metody działania sił zbrojnych w czasie misji humanitarnych.Podobnie jak trudno opisać wymogi współczesnej walki zbrojnej.

Recently, the ongoing dynamic transformation of the international order has activatedsignificant changes in the roles, functions and tasks of the military. In the erstwhile,Cold War order, the significance and utility of the armed forces were indisputable, obvious and intelligible. Jeopardies and their structures would be recognised at the timesufficient for undertaking any rational actions against them. The character of these jeopardiesranging from ideological to economic influencing vital state interests wouldcause few dilemmas as regards the exercise of the armed forces. The rationale behind thearmed forces was therefore clear and workable. In the new international environment it is far more difficult to recognise which interestsought to be safeguarded by the state, and delineating state activity theatres borderson infeasibility. Another year of the so-called war on terrorism is coming to its close. Anattempt both to provide an answer to the question of the effectiveness of the military’soperational methods utilized during humanitarian missions and to demarcate the responsibilitiesof the contemporary warfare would be untimely.

Contemporary time, interpreted by the prism of security, is no longer dominated by easy to describe inter-state conflicts or regional threats. Experts every now and then define new types of threats such as cybercrime, cyberterrorism or cyberwar. The intense and multi-level uncertainty affects the understanding of the present and the predicted future, and thus the search for security by all of us. The answer depends in part on whether we are able to understand contemporary security environment. These issues are, to my mind, independent of the place in which we are. Using tools for diagnosing and monitoring security remains an open question. At the moment we are searching for a solution to this problem by means of modern technologies. The paper stresses the importance and application of e.g. Internet technology and global telecommunication. Interpersonal relations are being replaced with technological solutions. Nowadays, a phone or a computer connected to the web is sufficient to make contact with another person or check what information official sources are bringing us today. Actions for security as a result of incorrect reception of a message may be associated with erroneous perception of the content and propaganda. As a result, the recipient is consciously manipulated. New technologies take the form of nonconventional, organized activities for security. Any number of people can cooperate through the web for security management without actual superior authority. Members of such groups, established ad hoc, may use their knowledge to express objections or dissatisfaction. The paper also presents another aspect of using technology. According to the author, there are situations in which technologies acting for reinforcing security often cause objection, motivated by restricting civil freedoms and by the threat of an attack on a free and open society.

Asymmetry of warfare, or more often asymmetric warfare, is an issue often referred to in descriptions of contemporary political and military relations affecting the state. It is even presented as an entity threatened by these hostilities. Meanwhile, these acts are a form of an armed conflict in which opposing sides have different military potentials. One of the potentials is the power of the state. We must wonder then how the state uses it. Is it not an entity who uses it in a way disproportionate to the situation of conflict? The paper argues that a contemporary state is not without sin and it is not just that it is not able to protect its interests from asymmetric threats. Warfare still is, which many forget, the basis for hostilities (war). In the author’s understanding (erroneous perhaps?) asymmetry does not only occur at the level of war, but it also happens in its key dimension – warfare. It has emerged not only through the change in the status of the fighting party, but also through the time of warfare and using the warfare terrain.

The multitude of defining the concept of security is related to the fact that representatives of various fields of science describe and perceive this phenomenon from the point of view of terminology, own knowledge, as well as from the scope of their discipline. For many security is a belief that you are out of the reach of any threat. Based on the Copenhagen school theory, the essence of the objective and subjective understanding of security was emphasized. Against this background, the movement of people was analyzed as a security issue. Poles living in Great Britain are more often in contact with this issue than in their country of origin. The scale of threats is extremely different. For Poles migrating to the UK, the most dangerous threats appear to be in the social sphere. The aim of the article is to analyze the phenomenon of Polish migration to Great Britain after 2004. Additionally, the process of describing security and its transition from the sphere of theory to practice was attempted. Although in the open public space, on city streets, parks and squares, there are personal threats related to crimes, as well as to social threats – attacks and assaults caused by frustrated and aggressive groups or individuals, Poles feel safe. Despite knowing about terrorism or manifestations of social or cultural phobias, Poles migrate to Great Britain. In addition, the article attempts to prove that the technological extension of public space leads to a sense of greater security.

The political transformation in Poland resulted in the reorientation of Polish policy in the field of understanding security. It found its reflection in newly defined policy directions, which were manifested in the search for new guarantees of security, development opportunities and giving a new character to Polish politics. The problem of ensuring state security in new geopolitical conditions is expressed in the adopted hierarchy of priorities for the implementation of the Polish raison d’etat. The implementation of the policy priorities means that Poland has a solid foundation for security. The Polish Army carries out many key tasks in it. The armed forces of the Republic of Poland became an element of the broad NATO security system. Building faith in defensive self-sufficiency, Poland distances itself more and more from Europe. Both threats and challenges require decision-making in matters of security and go beyond the traditionally understood security. As a consequence, Poland responds to both threats and challenges in the security policy of the Republic of Poland to a small extent.

Celem artykułu jest wskazanie podstaw prawnych systemu zarządzania kryzysowego oraz określenie zasad, na których jest on zbudowany, jego aktorów, ich kompetencji, mechanizmów współpracy i koordynacji oraz zasad finansowania zadań zarządzania kryzysowego. Autor kładzie szczególny nacisk na konieczność przestrzegania praw i wolności człowieka w kontekście działań państwa mających na celu zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa oraz stworzenie skutecznego systemu zarządzania kryzysowego. Punktem wyjścia tej dyskusji jest założenie, że problemy bezpieczeństwa dotyczą całego społeczeństwa, przy czym społeczeństwo to ma prawo i obowiązek uczestniczyć w wysiłkach na rzecz zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa. Jednocześnie instytucjonalne mechanizmy zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa wykorzystują jedynie udział instytucji poprzez różnego rodzaju powiązania i wsparcie. W artykule przedstawiono pewne mechanizmy budowania bezpieczeństwa narodowego przez organy państwa i instytucje za nie odpowiedzialne i kompetentne do reagowania w sytuacjach kryzysowych. Egzegeza obejmuje jednak udział sił zbrojnych oraz prawne aspekty użycia Sił Zbrojnych RP w przypadku zagrożeń niemilitarnych.

The objective of this article is to point to legal foundations of the crisis management system and to specify principles it is built on, its actors, their competences, mechanisms of cooperation and coordination and principles for financing crisis management tasks. The author places special emphasis on the need to observe human rights and freedoms in the context of actions taken by the state that aim to ensure security and to create an effective crisis management system. The starting point for this discussion is an assumption that security-related problems affect the entire society whereby this society has the right and obligation to participate in efforts to ensure security. At the same time, institutional mechanisms of ensuring security only use participation of institutions by various kinds of interrelations and support. This article shows certain mechanisms of building national security by state bodies and institutions that are responsible for it and competent to respond in crisis situations. How-ever, the exegesis covers participation of the armed forces and legal aspects of employing the Polish Armed Forces in the event of non-military threats.
