Dyplomacja obronna – nowy instrument polityki zagranicznej i bezpieczeństwa
Defence Diplomacy as a New Instrument of Foreign and Security Policy

Summary/Abstract: “Defence diplomacy” is a relatively new term developed in response to the post-ColdWar demand for new international missions and functions carried out by the armed forces. Itshould not be understood as a kind of traditional “military diplomacy plus.” In the absence ofa broadly accepted definition of “defence diplomacy,” countries try to adapt it to the needs oftheir own security policy. In Poland, the term appears only in journalism; there is no precisereference to any foreign and security policy documents. The main goal of defense diplomacyis to co-design and implement state security policy and to establish stable internationalrelations in the field of defense. Conceptualising defence diplomacy is the starting point forunderstanding its role as one of the most important instruments of foreign and security policyin modern countries.
