W końcu wieku XX zaczęło erodować poczucie sensu bezpieczeństwa w jego wielu wymiarach: politycznym, socjalnym, indywidualnym. Epoka, w jaką weszliśmy, jest bardziej dojmująca, bolesna niż ta, jaką przeżyliśmy. Po upadku Związku Sowieckiego i końcu zimnej wojny wielkie nadzieje świata wzrastały na różne sposoby, wpływając na wzrost ekonomiczny i polityczną liberalizację. Przez dekadę zauważaliśmy tak widomy wzrost tych czynników. Ale z początkiem nowego wieku pojawiło się wiele niepokojących trendów. Jako społeczeństwa musimy się uczyć życia z nowymi strachami i terroryzmem jako jednym z nich. W takim sensie możemy mówić o tym, że wszystko się zmieniło i sytuacja stała się paradoksalna, bo żyjemy nową sumą wszystkich strachów na co dzień. Niezgoda na taką rzeczywistość jest o wiele lepsza niż alternatywa błogiego usypiania się i zdawania na los szczęścia.

The end of 20 century, to be sure, eroded the sense of political, social and individual safety. The era, we’ve just entered – whatever we decide to call it – is bound to be more painful than the one we’ve just left. After the collapse of a Soviet Union and the end of the cold war, the great hopes was the world would develop In benign ways, focusing on economic development and political liberalization. For decade there was significant progress in that direction. But there have also been some disturbing trends. As a society we will have to learn to live with new threats and terrorism is one of this. It is in that sense, more than any other, that people are right when they say that everything has changed. This leads to a paradoxical situation. Overnight, living with a threat of terrorism became part of everyday life. Disagreeable as that reality is, it’s better than the alternative of lulling ourselves into false complacency, sloppy protection and haphazard responses.

Author starts the article with reminding the basic reasons why the states set up, maintained and expanded armed forces and civil security. The establishment and specialization of separate sectors was the authority’s response to tackle with the threats posed to the state itself and citizens. The development of armies and law enforcement bodies was usually independent, addressing particular needs descended from external and internal threats. Nowadays, western countries’ citizens experiencing long time of stability and peace on its own territory are likely to start questioning budgetary expenditures on army. Some of them raise that, the internal security should be the issue of major concern. At the very same time, the threats to the state and its citizens dynamically change forcing public administration to reconsider the structures responsible for preventing and counteracting them. Terrorism problem requires inter-agency approach and close cooperation between military and civil security sector. Crisis management system envisages common approach and joint reaction of almost all state and self-governed authorities. The change of domestic and international environment encourages to reconsider tasks and organization of modern armed forces and institutions responsible for safety and public order. According to author, it is worth considering further enhancement of double–use formations, common training, partially standardized procedures, mutual help, exchanging resources, legal provisions allowing the governments to use armed forces to take partial responsibility for maintaining public order in peace time. The final conclusion of the article encourages not only to tighten the cooperation between Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Defense, but also among particular institutions and services subordinated to those Ministries.
