Numerous representatives of theories of international relations, security theories or alliance theories have examined the new role of the North Atlantic Alliance or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in the post-bipolar world. Parallel with the theoretical examination of goals and tasks, NATO has transformed itself in practice, following the realities of the contemporary global era. In trying to achieve and keep the primacy of the strongest military- political organization, the Alliance has - especially in the Strategic Concept adopted in Lisbon in 2010-set the normative and institutional foundations of its global engagement, fulfilling the military (hard) and a wide array of non-military (soft) security challenges. This strategy has given rise to "Euro-Atlanticism", as a subsystem of international relations based on strong American-European relations, to fit with the process of regionalization of global politics. However, the 2013-2014 crisis in Ukraine has turned the focus of interest and activities of NATO once again primarily to Europe and it has stressed the importance and necessity of strengthening Euro-Atlantic security and defence ties. The most powerful member of the Alliance, the United States, is again strongly engaged in Europe and Russia, as a kind of successor to the Soviet Union, is once more detected as a major threat to European security. There have been many aspects of theories of international relations that have tried to explain the dynamic of the post-Cold War international community. However, the approach based on neo-realistic assumptions of the role of a security community, collective defence and the use of military force has proved to be dominant. NATO will continue to work on its political dimension as an alliance of the democratic world and the September 2014 Wales Summit will certainly mark the return of NATO to its roots, strengthening its security and military dimensions in the collective defence of Europe from Russia.

Within the period 1990-2015 the Prime Minister's policy statement, called the ‘exposé’, was delivered fifteen times to the Polish Parliament. It should be emphasized that each Prime Minister’s exposé analyzed in this article was placed within the context of the contemporary internal policy and the contemporary international policy. Its meaning was enhanced by the fact that every Prime Minister pointed out the role of the Parliament and government as an institution, which after 1989 – no matter what political party the Prime Minister came from, was amicably building and strengthening democracy based on free elections of the central and local government, decentralization of power in the country, the principle of freedom of speech and assembly and the freedom of conducting business activity in the free market. They emphasized the role of civil society in the consolidation of the democratic system. Every Prime Minister drew attention to the fact that most of the institutions of public life in Poland were built from scratch, others were overhauled. From the point of view of state security the most important institution was the army. For this reason each Prime Minister discussed the place and role of the military in the state, their role in the process of realization of the current national security policy, international cooperation and assumed international obligations. The Prime Minister explained proposed reforms in the army and also referred to the precepts of the directions of the policy of state security. Within the period 1990-2015 the Prime Minister's policy statement, called the ‘exposé’, was delivered fifteen times before the Polish Parliament. Apart from the economic and social programs, in their speeches Prime Ministers also referred to the matters of national security. Until Poland's accession to NATO in 1999 the Policy Statement of every Prime Minister was dominated by the problem of Poland's preparation for entering that defense pact. When Poland became a full NATO member, it was the role of Poland in the military alliance and the readiness of the pact to repel the new challenges related to security, including terrorist attacks, which became critical for each Polish Prime Minister. After delivering the exposé the Prime Ministers requested of Parliament a vote of confidence.

W latach 1990 – 2015 przed polskim parlamentem mowę programową rządu, zwaną expose, wygło-szono piętnaście razy. Podkreślić należy to, że każde analizowane w niniejszym artykule expose Prezesa Rady Ministrów było osadzone w bieżącej polityce wewnętrznej i nawiązywało do kontekstu aktualnej polityki mię-dzynarodowej. Jego znaczenie podnosił fakt wskazania przez każdego Premiera na rolę parlamentu oraz rządu, jako instytucji, które po 1989 roku, niezależnie od opcji politycznej z której wywodził się premier, zgodnie bu-dowały i utrwalały ustrój demokratyczny, oparty na wolnych wyborach władzy centralnej i lokalnej, decentra-lizacji władzy, zasadzie wolności wypowiedzi i zgromadzeń oraz swobodzie prowadzenia działalności gospo-darczej w warunkach wolnego rynku. Podkreślano rolę społeczeństwa obywatelskiego w utrwalaniu ustroju demokratycznego. Każdy premier zwracał uwagę na to, że większość instytucji życia publicznego zbudowano w Polsce od podstaw, inne poddano gruntownym zmianom. Ważną, z punktu widzenia bezpieczeństwa pań-stwa instytucją, było wojsko. Z tego powodu Premier omawiał jego miejsce i rolę w procesie realizacji bieżącej polityki bezpieczeństwa państwa, współpracy międzynarodowej i wywiązywania się Polski z zaciągniętych zobowiązań międzynarodowych. Wyjaśniał przy tym zasady proponowanych reform w armii. Każdorazowo Prezes Rady Ministrów odnosił się również do wskazania na kierunki prowadzonej polityki bezpieczeństwa państwa. Do chwili przyjęcia Polski do NATO w 1999 roku, dominującym wątkiem w mowie programowej każdego premiera był problem przygotowania się Polski do wejścia do tego paktu obronnego. Gdy kraj stał się pełnoprawnym członkiem NATO, zasadniczego znaczenia dla każdego Prezesa Rady Ministrów nabrało miej-sce Polski w tym sojuszu wojskowym oraz gotowość tego paktu do odparcia nowych wyzwań związanych z bezpieczeństwem, w tym zamachów terrorystycznych. Po wygłoszeniu expose Prezes Rady Ministrów prosił parlament o udzielenie mu wotum zaufania.
