The article touches upon the subjects of projecting the aims of policy and strategy of the security of a country. In the study the authors make an effort to outline the methods of creating subject aims, showing them in the light of a wider analysis. In the first part of the article various points were depicted. The first of them is on methods of deriving the sets of national needs, values and interests. The second touches upon identification of categories of challenges, threats and chances as the determinants marking the shape of aims in relations with outlined national interests. The study has a methodological character. It is aimed at delivering a knowledge concerning methods of constructing the policy aims on a national level. Due to its significance, in the next edition of “Zeszyty Naukowe AON” the final solution will be presented, describing the rules of reducing sets of aims of a country’s policy, while shaping the aims of security aspects.
