Polityka wschodnia w koncepcjach Stronnictwa Konserwatywno-Ludowego
Eastern Policy in the concepts of Conservative People’s Party

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the eastern policy in conceptions of Stronnict-wo Konserwatywno-Ludowe (SKL). Stronnictwo was established in 1997 as result of uniting such political parties as Partia Konserwatywna, Stronnictwo Ludowo-Chrześcijańskie and the group of Members of Parliament from Unia Wolności. The youth organisation of SKL was Młodzi Konserwatyści AWS. Stronnictwo is categorised as a postsolidarity and conservative party.In the field of the eastern policy, SKL appealed to historical geopolitical conceptions: the Promethean conception, the political thought of the Parisian„Kultura” and indirectly to ideas of Adolf Bocheński. The party believed that in-dependent Ukraine had fundamental meaning for the security of Poland. In the opinion of SKL Russia returned to imperial policy towards the states of the Cen-tral and Eastern Europe. The accession to NATO and the European Union was supposed to be a chance for Poland, which could become the creator of the EU eastern policy in this way. The members of the party and the youth organisa-tion to cooperated also with the opposition in Belorussia, for example Białoruski Front Ludowy.
