SOCIAL SYSTEMS OF CONTEMPORARY STATE AND CULTURAL SECURITY

Abstract

Social system can be compared to human organism. It consists of certain specialized subsystems, and each of them has its own function. Weakening of even one of them can negatively affect the whole of it. Global changes of contemporaryworld, which are characterized by homogenization of the state systems (especially in the Western manner), pose a serious challenge for national systems, and influence the importance of a subject of national security. The conflict between modern and national values, regionalisation, which in some way forces propounding the community welfare over the national interests, increasing influence of transnational corporations and intensive migration flows, are some of the problems that create the need for existence of national security system. Thus, according to Talcott Parsons theory of social systems, I will analyze the effectiveness of National Security Strategy of the Republic of Poland, which role is to maintain the external and internal security of the state, increase its economic potential and cultural autonomy – all of which are responsible for stability and continuity of a whole state system.
