Underestimated Types of Public Safety Threats in Poland – Challenges for the Management Processes

Summary/Abstract: Firstly, the article contains an attempt to define the concept of public safety as necessary as well as the absence of its description in Polish legal literature. Furthermore, after a short characterisation of the social conflict, the author discusses the causes of Polish long-standing social conflicts, paying particular attention to its historical connotations. The author concentrates on the harmful practice that is present in the vast area of the dispute aspects, which is wishfulthinking (katatymicthinking). This is extremely important in shaping and maintaining the public safety. In the next part of the article, the author declares the implementation of the need for a holistic view on the totality of considered safety phenomena, which can be fulfilled only from the perspective of using the achievements of the management sciences. The author highlights the meaning of some kinds of the underestimated public safety threats in Poland, such as numerous symptoms of economic crisis in the USA. This may be threatening to the development of the heavily indebted economies in Europe, not only in Poland, alongside with the whole spectrum of unpleasant social consequences (unemployment due to shrinked export, decrease of the income for ZUS – Social Insurance Institution, increase of the expenses to cover the payment of pension plans for senior workers who are going to retire). The final part of the article discusses the future of the public safety from the perspective of foreseeeable actions of Polish government, in connection with the underestimated world’s recession threat.
