In the cocoon of the nation state: Limits in discourse of contemporary national movement in Poland

Summary/Abstract: Th e aim of this article is to analyse the essence and concept of the border in the discourse of the contem-porary national movement in Poland. Th e term “national movement” includes groupings that refer to thetraditions of the Polish national camp from the period of the Second Republic of Poland. Contemporarynationalists, observing the transformations taking place in the world, seek to legitimize existing borders.Th ey justify them by demonstrating the role of the nation-state in international relations and by treatingsovereignty as a value that cannot be divided or graded.While a certain attempt to redefi ne their assumptions can be discerned in recent years, the basic axiomsremain intact. Among other things, the young nationalists include in their refl ections the process of global-ization, which results in a weakening of the role of borders in the terms of international law. Th ey emphasize,however, that borders transform and modernize but do not disappear: “just as human nature, which is itsorigin and raison d’être, does not disappear”
