The development of migration policies, as well as the processes of tying them to the questions of security (which have been going on in Western Europe since the mid-1970s) has already been extensively analyzed by many scholars. However, so far the focus has only been on the European and national levels of analysis. This paper takes on a different perspective on the matter, arguing that the process of securitization of migration takes place on a number of levels. The regulations set up at the European level and subsequently introduced into the legal systems of particular EU Member States undergo many modifications before being implemented in the regional and local dimension. This leads to the question about the role of the regional level in the process of the securitization of migration. This paper analyses this question using the example of the Subcarpathian Voivodship, a region at the Polish-Ukrainian border.

In recent years, the European security environment has been subjected to many tests. For the first time since the end of the Second World War, Europe is struggling with new, hitherto unknown threats and challenges in the area of security. Today’s security environment is increasingly volatile, complex and uncertain. At the same time, there is a deficit of its understanding, which results, among others, from its interdisciplinarity and multifaceted nature, as well as the penetration of many military factors and civilian, the development of new technologies, as well as globalization processes and their consequences. An additional factor intensifying the perception of changes in the security environment is the reduction of time spent on analyzing and understanding the changes taking place, as well as planning and implementing adequate solutions. In this context, the situation on NATO’s eastern flank is becoming one of the key issues to ensure the security of this part of Europe. Due to its international obligations resulting from its accession to the EU and the Schengen Agreement, Poland has assumed the obligation to ensure the security and inviolability of the Polish eastern border, which is integral with the external border of the European Union and NATO. Actions and efforts in the field of security, however, depend not only on the defense system of a given country, but on many factors, including geopolitical, historical and military conditions. The events of the last two years in its immediate vicinity are also significant for Poland’s security, including the crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border and the war in Ukraine. The main purpose of these considerations is to try to find an answer to the question of how to ensure the security of the Polish eastern border in the current security environment.

The purpose of this article is to clarify the role of Lewis Namier, a Foreign Office expert on Polish affairs, and his contribution to the drawing of the “Curzon Line” – the Polish‑Ukrainian border in Eastern Galicia after World War I. Namier was of Polish‑Jewish descent, and he has gone down in Polish historiography as a man of rabidly anti‑Polish inclination; during the war and later at the Versailles Peace Conference, he consistently opposed Poland’s expansion in eastern Europe, notably propagating the view that the whole of the territory known as Kresy – the Eastern Marchlands – should be severed from Poland. His concepts and activities were in tune with the general thrust of British policy towards Poland, though it seems that he was not the eminence grise in Lloyd George’s cabinet in this question, but merely a convenient supplier of anti‑Polish arguments. This analysis aims at proving that the great role attributed to Namier in Polish historiography is exaggerated and it was not he – as is commonly believed – who was the actual author of the Curzon Line, and it was not he who inserted it into the famous note sent from Spa to the Bolsheviks in July 1920.

The article presents the attitudes of the two most important Poznań newspapers to the problem of shaping the Polish eastern border during the truce negotiations with Bolshevik Russia in Riga at the turn of September and October 1920. Both newspapers, despite representing different political orientations (democratic-national and conservative), supported the so-called “incorporation programme”, the implementation of which left a massive Polish population behind the eastern border. The author of the article tries to answer the question of why the newspapers, always defending the cohesion and the whole of the Polish nation, acted differently in the case of Poles left in Riga on the Bolshevik side of the border.

The Polish-Soviet conflict during World War II is one of the most complicated issues in legal terms. The war, which, although not declared, but visible in the form of military aggression, never took place in the eyes of the Soviet side. The course of the border and other international agreements, although signed without coercion in the international period, suddenly turned out to be worthless pieces of paper. The provisions of the Atlantic Charter, signed during the war and guaranteeing, inter alia, the inviolability of the borders, turned out not to apply to Poland. The aim of the article is to show what, in such a complicated situation, from the point of view of international law, the Polish-Soviet diplomatic dispute about the future of the Polish eastern border, which is also the border between the Republic of Poland and the Soviet Union, looked like. The source of the work are archival materials stored in British archives and scientific studies.
