Safety is one of the basic human needs. It should be understood that in order to be
able to function properly and develop, a person needs appropriate conditions.
One of the primary conditions is the guarantee of security, both looking through
the prism of the individual and the general public. Previous disputes, conflicts
and wars determine future political decisions and affect the type of international
alliances formed. The guarantor of security is above all a stable, well-organized
and strong state, as well as citizens who are aware of the responsibility for this
security. Every country needs a strong ally to increase its security on the international
arena.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Eastern Europe, including Poland, dropped
the shackles of the Soviet occupation and turned its eyes to the west, seeking military
support within that area. Membership in NATO has made Poles feel relatively
safe since 1999. Poland’s allies have become members of the Alliance, whose
strongest link is the United States. Poland’s position on the map of Europe determines
its impact on the situation of the entire continent. European geopolitics
mainly affects the conditions, security and politics of the Polish state. The aim of
the article is to characterize the role of the Member States of the European Union
in ensuring European security, on the example of Polish. This article constitutes
an analysis and was created based on content analysis method and qualitative statistical
data analysis.
