Polska polityka wschodnia w świetle teorii realizmu. Zagrożenia dla bezpieczeństwa państwa polskiego w latach 1989-2014

Abstract

The main purpose of the article is to present Polish eastern policy as motivated by a threat to state security. It was assumed that it is a continuation of the concepts referred to as „the Jagiellonian idea” and the sources of the threat are located beyond the eastern border of the Republic of Poland. In the conducted analysis, a realistic perspective was used as the one that best characterizes the political situation in Poland’s eastern neighborhood.
