Kontrola i nadzór nad cywilnymi służbami specjalnymi w państwie polskim w latach 1990–2016
Control and supervision over civil special services in Poland between 1990 and 2016

Summary/Abstract: The author discussed the matter of managing Polish special services, including the liq­uidation of the security service created in the period of the Polish People’s Republic and the establishment of the State Protection Office (SPO). The attention was paid inter alia to changes in the organization and in the scope of supervision over the SPO, which took place in 1996, as well as to the establishment in 1995 of the Sejm’s Special Services Com­mittee. In 2002, the Internal Security Agency and the Foreign Intelligence Agency were established in the place of the SPO. Four years later, the Central Anticorruption Bureau was formed. The author came to the conclusion that changes in the scope of supervision and control over civil special services in the Polish state between 1990 and 2016 were connected, above all, to ongoing political events in Poland.
