Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the political thought of Polish political parties after the 1989 concerning the armed forces. From the author’s research appears that the military issues discussed in political thought during the period 1989–2011 were primarily in terms of international level. While in matters relating to: – professionalize of army; – creating a professional army; – modernization of the army; – civilian control over the army; – were connected with the participation of Polish troops in missions outside the country.
