W poszukiwaniu odpowiedzi na współczesne kryzysy. Ewolucja rezyliencji w polskim dyskursie strategicznym (2007-2020)
Searching for solutions to contemporary crises. The evolution of resilience in the Polish strategic discourse (2007-2020)

Summary/Abstract: Resilience, understood as an ability to withstand adapt to crisis situations, has been motivating a shift in the way of thinking about security and contemporary threats. The aim of this article is to analyze the evolution and characteristics of resilience in the Polish strategic discourse. The article applies the frame-narrative approach, building on textual material obtained from the national security strategies of Poland and strategic documents published between 2007-2020. The results of the analysis show that the Polish approach to resilience is conservative and focused on “maintaining” the status quo of the state in times of crisis. The Polish approach to resilience is centered on: the protection of critical infrastructure; dispersion of responsibility for security among social organizations and private entities; and building community resilience, understood as increasing the capacity of citizens and their immediate community to withstand and absorb shocks caused by crises. The Polish strategic thought marginalizes adaptive and reconstructive features of resilience, focusing on physical protection of vital elements of the state. The Polish approach requires a more detailed framework for resilience, preferably in the form of a specialized strategy.
