Oblicza polskiego militaryzmu
Faces of Polish Militarism

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary militarism appears as a combination of historical, cultural and institutional factors that shape the political processes of the state. Militarism is most often combined with excessive political influence of officers, the proliferation of the apparatus of the armed forces and social attitudes drawn from military patterns. Relying on interdisciplinary findings to date, the author searches in the paper for manifestations of Polish militarism and argues that it adopts a discursive-ritual rather than an institutional model, despite unprecedented spending on armaments in 2023.
