20.500.12556/RUL-7119 First time in the European Parliament Elections: Central and Eastern Europe in the 2004 European Parliament Elections Prve volitve novih članic Evropske unije v Evropski parlament so se prikazale kot globok paradoks v smislu povratnega procesa evropske integracije. Pridružitev je namreč na višji (elitni) ravni omogočila političnim strankam innjihovim vodjem tako nove priložnosti kot tudi nove polemike v povezavi s pojavom polarizacije mnenj o pomenu evropske integracije. Na nižji ravni pa je velika večina volilcev volitve v Evropski parlament prezrla ali celo namenoma ignorirala. Ta članek služi kot uvod v omenjeno problematiko. Njegov namen je, kot prvo razložiti pomanjkanje interesa za volitve v Evropski parlament, kot drugo raziskati domača politična gibanja pred volitvami in kot tretje pretehtati kakšen vpliv imajo te volitve na delovanje razširjene Evropske unije. Glede prihodnosti procesa evropske integracije je pomembna ozaveščenost, da vsestarnkarska podpora v novo pridruženih članicah ni več samoumevna. Namesto tega lahko pričakujemo vzpon vpilva evroskepticizma znotraj Evropske unije The first European Parliament elections in the new Member States in Central and Eastern Europe demonstrated a profound paradox in terms of being a feedback process of European integration. At the elite level, the accession tothe European Union has offered political parties and their leaders both new opportunities as well as a new set of issues with the emergence of a significant divide over the meanings of European integration. At the mass level, however, the first European Parliament elections were ignored by a vastmajority of voters. This paper serves as a systematic analysis of the subject. Our objective is three-fold: to explain a lack of interest in the polls, to examine the domestic political dynamics leading to the elections andto consider the implications of the elections for the workings of the enlarged European Union. As for the prospects for European integration, it is important to note that one may no longer assume a supportive cross-party consensus in the new Member States on the EU. Rather, popular antipathy towards the EU is expected to rise Evropski parlament skepticizem European Parliament scepticism true false false Angleški jezik Neznan jezik Delo ni kategorizirano 2014-07-11 12:55:28 2014-07-11 12:55:28 2022-04-26 03:43:44 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2004 0 0 Str. 109-131 št. 46/47 Letn. 20 avg./dec. 2004 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 324 0352-3608 23605085 http://dk.fdv.uni-lj.si/dr/dr46-47BaclijaChan.PDF 1 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=7119 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
