Sposób cytowania: D. Szacawa, P. Oleksy, The “Northern Turn” in Poland’s geopolitical culture, „Yearbook of the Institute of East-Central Europe”, 23 (2025), issue 3, pp. 143–167, DOI: https://doi.org/10.36874/RIESW.2025.3.8
Abstrakt: The article analyses the impact of changes in the security architecture in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) on Poland’s geopolitical culture. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 led, on the one hand, to Finland and Sweden joining NATO and, on the other, to a crisis in relations between Poland and its partners in Central Europe. This resulted in a new opening in Poland’s policy towards its northern partners, who began to be seen as key allies in its multidimensional security policy. This latest diplomatic opening was in line with earlier investment and economic activities related to the BSR and ongoing socio-cultural processes, which have brought the countries of this region closer to Polish society. Therefore, according to the authors, we should speak in this case of a “Northern Turn” in Poland’s geopolitical culture, which means that this culture has been enriched with a new direction that is of great importance for multidimensional security and strategic development. The article analyses three spheres of this phenomenon: formal, which pertains to the analysis of international system dynamics; practical, which relates to actual political and strategic decisions; and popular, which reveals transformations in the spheres of culture and identity.
