Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2013, Vol 167, Issue 1
Abstract
The national interest can be defined in a variety of ways. Irrespective of the differences of opinion, the majority of researchers seem to agree that it is what drives a particular country to take specific action in the international arena. In this article the author discusses the issue of national interests in the context of Poland’s involvement in Operation “Desert Storm” in the Persian Gulf. The author reviews the rudimentary definitions of national interest, analyses what interests Poland was in pursuit of when making a decision on joining the coalition forces, and finally assesses the consequences of the involvement.
