Europa Środkowo-Wschodnia w polskiej polityce zagranicznej. Od historycznych odniesień po współczesne wyzwania
Central and Eastern Europe in the Polish foreign policy: from historical references to contemporary challenges

Summary/Abstract: Conducting an effective policy, without ideological manifestations, can be based on the EU instruments, regardless of the crisis of the European integration. Reasonable answer to the Polish geopolitical dilemmas is not the so-called “Jagiellonian idea”, which can be perceived as opposition to existing pillars of national security, i.e., NATO and the EU. Reduction of the Polish policy to anachronistic fantasies about Central European community may diminish the importance of Poland in the Euro-Atlantic structures. Membership in the institutions of the Western world, relying inter alia on the cooperation with Germany, has served so far as a guarantee of the Polish security, however currently it does not suit entirely to the historical concept of the so-called “Piast policy”, mainly due to the noticeable process of disintegration of the European community.
