Introduction: "The term stress has become very popular in recent years. Although widely used, it is still ambiguous. It is applied when referring to uncommon, traumatic events, but also with regard to everyday life situations and related experiences. The concept of stress is derived from the works of physiologist Walter Cannon and endocrinologist Hans Selye and concerns primarily biological stress considered in terms of reactions to present stimuli. Any symptoms of maladjustment or lack of adaptation are treated as indicators of stress. Cannon used the term stress to describe the ‘fight or flight’ response triggered to restore the disturbed balance of the body as a result of the activity of disruptive stimuli."(...)

Introduction: "The level of security of an organisation depends on a variety of factors, including the ability to identify risks and the implementation of security management, including governance mechanisms. The following criteria are considered in the typology of security threats: 1) objective – this includes political, military, and economic, as well as social and environmental security; 2) sources of threats – described as natural, technical, systemic, demographic, ideological, economic, educational, psychological, cultural, and other; 3) environmental – different environments are taken into account: natural, social, political, economic, scientific, and technological; 4) coverage – from global, through continental and regional, to local; and 5) scale of the threats – from the global level, through the international and state levels, to the administrative unit level."(...)

Introduction: "When we started working on the issue entitled “The Total Defence 21st century. COM – building a resilient society”, we did not know then how topical this issue would become. We were aware of its importance, especially since 2014, which was the beginning of the Russian aggression against Ukraine. However, we did not think that the need to build an effective concept of total/comprehensive defence, and then its implementation, would become so pressing in February 2022. Two of the three general regularities in the history of international relations have also become extremely topical. We are talking about the clash between imperial and polyarchic tendencies, and nations’ desire to express their independence and identity, and as a result, to have their own state. It can be assumed that in order to achieve this goal, as well as for small and medium-sized states to be able to defend themselves against the forces of empires and effectively deter them, they must use the concept of total/comprehensive defence, in its improved, 21st century version."(...)
Bezpieczeństwo. Teoria i Praktyka 2022, nr 1 (XLVI): Security Strategies in Times of Uncertainty
(Oficyna Wydawnicza AFM, 2022) Molo, Beata; Kleinwächter, Lutz; Lapins, Wulf; Diec, Joachim; Jach, Anna; Pachucki-Włosek, Krystian; Kamola-Cieślik, Małgorzata; Paszkowski, Michał; Adamczyk, Natalia; Baziur, Grzegorz; Stępniewska-Szydłowska, Paulina; Tyborowska, Patrycja; Pradetto, August; Gärtner, Heinz; Kruk, Aleksandra; Grudzińska, Adrianna; Khmilevska, Polina
Introduction: "We are pleased to present our readers with this recent issue of our journal “Security. Theory and Practice”. This time, it features a vast array of studies that look at issues related to security strategies. The Articles and Materials section opens with the article by Wulf Lapins, entitled EU-Strategien im Wandel von Zeit und Situation, which offers a synthetic approach to the developed and implemented strategies of the European Union. The paper by Joachim Diec Demography as a security strategy factor in Poland and the Russian Federation focuses on the perception of demographic security in Poland and Russia as a major facet of social and state security. The author concludes that the Polish political narrative and the declared set of state goals focus more on the social sphere, while the Russian rhetoric and politics are more state-oriented. The contemporary rebuilding of the sphere of influence of the Russian Federation, covering the area of the so-called “near abroad”, has been scrutinised by Anna Jach in her article A new “gathering of Russian lands”: Russia’s return to imperialism."(...)
