The monograph consists of eight chapters that guide the reader from general content on security and the role of man in its creation to detailed analyses of the use of social capital in building society's resilience to the challenges of the 21st century. The author presents man and society as active subjects of security, actively participating in its creation and taking co-responsibility for its level and condition. She analyzes the relationships and bonds that exist between individuals, as a result of which society is created, and diagnoses the weaknesses of modern democracies.

In the following chapters, the author explains the specifics of capital: bonding, bridging and linking, related to rural and urban environments, along with the characteristics of the entities that are their source. The considerations are set in a broad security context, taking into account its functional, structural and territorial dimension. Particular emphasis is placed on the readiness of society to use social capital in emergency situations and on the analysis of strategic documents on national security in connection with forecasts of the development of social capital.

She also points out ways to use this resource in the face of demographic and migration challenges, as well as its potential in shaping awareness and community identity in the face of the growing threat of cognitive warfare. For each chapter, a separate research thesis was adopted, the validity of which was proven during partial considerations. Each chapter concludes with recommendations, expressing in a synthetic form proposed significant changes and recommendations for the practical use of social capital for security.
