Czy wschodnia granica Polski będzie bardziej bezpieczna? Polityczne koncepcje w zakresie bezpieczeństwa granicznego
Will Poland's eastern border be more secure? Political concepts in the field of border security

Summary/Abstract: Managing the security of European borders and individual countries is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. The migration crisis, which has been ongoing on such a scale since at least 2014, will probably continue to grow. It is caused by, among other things, climate change, political situations in other countries, and growing economic differences. Additionally, on the Polish-Belarusian border (but also in other European countries) since 2021 we have been observing a hybrid conflict caused by Belarus and Russia. Its features include, among others, migration pressure, attempts to illegally cross the border, attacks on officers, and influencing social moods. Therefore, the article focuses on the concepts of security of Poland's eastern border, presented in the election programs of political parties. The focus is on the solutions they propose. It also presents the main assumptions of the National Defense and Deterrence Plan Shield East and the act on improving the activities of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland, the Police and the Border Guard in the event of a threat to state security. These are projects considered controversial by various groups, hence the attempt to assess their potential.
