Abstract

POLAND IS UNDERGOING A RADICAL ORGANIZATIONAL RESTRUCTURING IN DEFENSE POLICY, INCLUDING MILITARY PROBLEMS AND WITH NO EXPERIENCE IN THIS RESPECT, THIS IS A POINEERING TASK AND ACTIVITY. THIS ARTICLE BEGINS WITH THE THE GENERAL STATEMENT THAT THE AIM OF DEFENSE POLICY IS TO ENSURE A SECURE AND HARMONIOUS LIFE FOR THE NATION AS A WHOLE, AND FOR ALL ITS INDIVIDUAL CITIZENS AND TO GUARANTEE THE COUNTRY'S SOVEREIGNTY WITHIN THE EXISTING BORDERS AND WITHIN THE GOVERNMENTAL SYSTEM ADOPTED BY THE PEOPLE. IT CONTINUES WITH AN ASSESSMENT OF POLAND'S POLITICAL-MILITARY SECURITY CONDITIONS IN THE 1990S AND OFFERS A PROGRAM FOR COUNTERING MILITARY CONFLICTS. IT CONCLUDES WITH A REPORT ON NON-MILITARY DEFENSIVE LINKS.
