Summary/Abstract: This article explores the multidimensional concept of cultural security in Poland, highlighting its increasing relevance in the context of globalisation, migration, and geopolitical change. Cultural security is understood not only as the protection of national heritage, language, and identity, but also as a proactive strategy aimed at fostering intercultural dialogue, social cohesion, and resilience against disinformation and cultural threats. Drawing on theoretical frameworks from realism, liberalism, and constructivism, the study analyses Poland’s legal, institutional, and strategic mechanisms – such as national security policies, minority rights protections, and language preservation initiatives. It further examines the challenges posed by mass migration, historical memory, and the politicisation of cultural narratives. The article argues that a balanced approach – one that safeguards cultural heritage while promoting inclusivity and diversity – is essential to maintaining Poland’s cultural integrity in an increasingly dynamic world.
