Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to compare the US National Security Strategy from 2002 with its modification from 2006. When elaborating on this topic, the authors applied the methodology of comparison of primary sources. Due to the fact, that both National Security Strategies perceive the role of the US foreign policy through neoconservative lenses, the first chapter briefly elaborates on basic principles of President’s G.W. Bush foreign policy, which had been implemented in reaction to September 11 terrorist attacks. The second chapter is the core chapter and it is dedicated to comparison of both National Security Strategies themselves. The author compares major differences in text of each chapter of 2002 US National Security Strategy and 2006 US National Security Strategy.
