20.500.12556/RUL-190110 Evropska prihodnost Severne Makedonije: dosedanji poskus k integraciji in njene omejitve The European future of North Macedonia: the attempt at integration and its limitations Magistrsko delo temelji na predpostavki, da je evropska integracija Severne Makedonije dolgotrajen in zahteven proces. Temeljito preučuje, kateri dejavniki najbolje pojasnjujejo potek tega procesa in kako ti dejavniki odražajo (ne)verodostojnost širitvene obljube EU. Teoretični okvir se opira tako na racionalistični kot konstruktivistični institucionalizem, osredotočen predvsem na model zunanjih spodbud in dopolnjen s konceptoma »stabilokracije« in diferencirane integracije. Študija z uporabo triangulacije podatkov preizkuša tri hipoteze o stopnji korupcije, trendih evroskepticizma in političnih dejavnikih, vključno z vplivom mednarodnega okolja. Empirični del dopolnjuje pet polstrukturiranih intervjujev, ki ponujajo nadaljnji kvalitativni vpogled v problematiko. Empirična analiza kaže, da zunanji politični dejavniki, zlasti blokade držav članic, predstavljajo glavno oviro na poti do evropske integracije. Po drugi strani pa korupcija in evroskepticizem delujeta kot sekundarna, a sistemska dejavnika. Posledično je verodostojnost širitvene obljube EU erodirana in je razvidna tako na institucionalni kot na družbeni ravni. V magistrskem delu je ugotovljeno, da zastoj pridruževanja Severne Makedonije Evropski uniji izvira iz kronične nedoslednosti pri uveljavljanju pogojenosti EU in ne iz neizpolnjevanja formalnih pristopnih kriterijev s strani države kandidatke. The master's thesis is grounded in the assumption that the European integration of North Macedonia is a long, challenging process. It thoroughly examines which factors best explain the course of this process and how these factors reflect the (un)credibility of the EU's enlargement promise. The theoretical framework draws on both rationalist and constructivist institutionalism, primarily focused on the model of external incentives and supplemented by the concepts of "stabilocracy" and differentiated integration. Using data triangulation, the study tests three hypotheses concerning the level of corruption, trends of Euroscepticism and political factors, including the influence of the international environment. The empirical part is complemented by five semi-structured interviews, which provide further insight into the issue. The empirical analysis indicates that external political factors, particularly blockades of member states, represent the primary obstacle on the path to European integration. On the other hand, corruption and Euroscepticism act as secondary, but systemic factors. As a result, the credibility of the EU's enlargement promise has declined and is evident both at the institutional and societal levels. The thesis concludes that the impasse of EU accession process in North Macedonia stems from the inconsistent application of EU conditionality, rather than necessarily from the candidate country’s failure to meet the formal accession criteria. širitvena politika Evropske unije Severna Makedonija pogojenost evropska integracija stabilokracija. enlargement policy of the European Union North Macedonia conditionality European integration stabilitocracy. true false false Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Magistrsko delo/naloga 2026-10-22 15:41:39 2026-10-22 15:41:48 2026-10-23 04:11:47 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 1970-01-01 217467 31968.pdf 31968.pdf 1 47FCE189FCD2020D07DAACE2D2A05E30 e390ce7830d722c2714f3250d78314fb56bb1672e35346ca4d8eb32b9c69af7d 55e5431d-ce1e-11f1-aea2-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=251174 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
