Summary/Abstract: Poland's accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and the European Union (EU) influenced the shape of the crisis management system in Poland. In view of the numerous problems highlighted during dangerous events, several initiatives were taken to build a modern crisis management system. The draft law developed by Józef Płoskonka and Professor Mirosław Stecat the Institute of Public Affairs (ISP) provided the foundation for the current solutions. The Crisis Management Act, which was finally adopted in 2007, draws heavily on the principles found in the draft created at the ISP.
