ABSTRACT

Geopolitics is not only about interests, but also about values – at least from the point of view of Polish national strategic documents. That is why it is interesting to analyze both: the government's stand on the geopolitical context of Poland, and the declared value system that forms the basis of the Polish foreign policy. Poland is aware of the weaknesses of the European Union but wants to strengthen both the European Union (EU) and the Polish position inside it. The Polish Foreign Policy Priorities show that our government wants the EU to become a political union, but not a super-state. It wants the EU to be based on three values: competitiveness, solidarity and openness. The main goal in the EU for Poland is the realization of the Strategy Europe 2020 – that means that modernization and development policy are inextricably connected with the geopolitical narrative.
