Summary/Abstract: There is no doubt that the strategic international environment is subject to extremely dynamic changes today. Relative stabilization in Europe built and won as a result of democratic changes following the Cold Warera, is being replaced in many areas by destabilization. New challenges are gaining importance and threats. Worth mentioning are: unpredictable political changes, terrorism, cyberthreats, assymetric challenges causingtensions, climate changes, and in the social sphere: especially migrationsand demographics. Uncertainty is growing, risks are increasing both inglobal dimension and regional, which affects the situation of Poland and neighboring countries. The uncertainty and unpredictability is now the key factor in development of relationships between different actors in theinternational environment.
