At the Institute for the Study of Nationalities (Polish: Instytut Badan Spraw Narodowosciowych, IBSN) board meeting held on September 17, 1931, a decision was taken to establish the Seminar for the Study of Nationalities (Polish: Seminarium Narodowosciowe, SN) within the framework of this institution. It was believed that starting an educational programme would enable to quickly create a group of young specialists, scientists and broadly defined administrative officers characterized by their understanding of and openness to, national minorities issues in Poland, both in the national and Promethean concept. The one year curriculum of the Seminar (SN) included lectures and seminar activities during which its participants were obliged to present the results of their own inquiries carried out with the assistance of the lecturers in the form of papers. In 1938 the SN's Graduates Circle was set up to enable the former students of the SN to continue their ethnic research which had already been started.

The Confederation of the Nation, the ideological continuation of the National Radical Camp Falanga during the Second World War, created a concept for the post-war order in Central Europe which would be guaranteed by a new geo-political construct – the Slavic Empire – with borders defined by the three seas: the Baltic, the Black and the Adriatic. Poland, with its Western borders significantly expanded compared to the pre-war period and in union with Lithuania, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, would take the lead of the proposed block. Despite the name of the proposed supernation, the Baltic countries as well as Romania and Hungary were welcome to participate in shaping the new future. The Confederates did not see any other option for either Poland or any other countries of the Intermarium. The leader of the Confederation of the Nation Bolesław Piasecki wrote: „No other choice remains, as either we, as the culturally paramount nation among the Slavs, take up and implement the idea of designing the geo-political Slavic bloc, or the Poles and all Slavs fall into a civilizational abyss, becoming slaves to foreign forces and their own unawareness. (…) If our iron will is lacking, it is easy to imagine Europe without Poland and the rest of Slavs as actors of history”.
