Razmerja med obrambno politiko, obrambno strategijo in obrambnim načrtovanjem : doktorska disertacija

Vuk, Pavel (author), Svete, Uroš (mentor), Zupančič, Rok (comentor)

Vprašanja o razmerjih med obrambno politiko, obrambno strategijo in obrambnim načrtovanjem, ki so od razmeroma predvidljivih v času hladne vojne prerasla v vse bolj kompleksna, poudarjajo potrebo po razumevanju logične urejenosti procesov, hierarhičnosti, medsebojne povezanosti in cikličnosti - razmerij, ki določajo urejenost, hkrati pa tudi medsebojno odvisnost in omejevanje obrambne politike, obrambne strategije in obrambnega načrtovanja. Z doktorsko disertacijo smo na eni strani opozorili na pomen celovitega proučevanja kompleksnosti razmerij oziroma medsebojne odvisnosti obrambne politike, obrambne strategije in obrambnega načrtovanja tako v teoriji kot tudi v praksi, na drugi pa pokazali, da na ta razmerja v manjši meri vplivajo zunanji in v večji meri notranji dejavniki. Z razvitjem teoretičnega modela smo na primeru malih držav opredelili in analizirali tako vpliv mednarodnega varnostnega okolja, Nata in EU na nacionalne obrambne politike, kot tudi notranje specifičnosti v procesih oblikovanja obrambne politike, obrambne strategije in obrambnega načrtovanja ter akterjev, ki sodelujejo v teh procesih. Zunanje in notranje dejavnike smo preverjali s pomočjo primerjalne analize kvalitativnih in kvantitativnih podatkov treh malih držav članic Nata in EU, Estonije, Slovaške in Slovenije v obdobju od 1991 do 2020. Rezultati raziskave so v primerjavi s predhodnimi raziskavami, ki večinoma temeljijo na usmerjenosti pristopov le na posamezni dejavnik ali posamezno področje v razmerju, pokazali, da uporabnost teoretičnega modela za male države članice Nata in EU, temelječega na celovitem pristopu, predstavlja pomemben prispevek k razvoju obramboslovne znanosti tako v doseganju teoretičnih kot prakseoloških ciljev pri snovanju metodološkega in pojasnjevalnega okvira za proučevanje obrambnih politik, obrambnih strategij in obrambnega načrtovanja kot njihovih medsebojnih razmerij v državi in med državami.

Abstract

The questions about the relations among defence policy, defence strategy and defence planning, which have grown from relatively predictable during the Cold War to increasingly complex, underline the need to understand the logical organisation of processes, hierarchy, interconnectedness and cyclicality - the relations that determine the orderliness, as well as the interdependence and constraints, of defence policy, defence strategy and defence planning. The doctoral thesis has, on the one hand, highlighted the importance of a comprehensive study of the complexity of the relations or interdependencies among defence policy, defence strategy and defence planning, both in theory and in practice, and, on the other hand, has shown that these relationss are influenced to a lesser extent by external factors and to a greater extent by internal factors. By developing a theoretical model, using the example of small countries, we identified and analysed the impact of the international security environment, the influence of NATO and the EU on national defence policies, as well as the internal specificities of the processes of formulation of defence policy, defence strategy and defence planning, and the actors involved in these processes. External and internal factors were examined through a comparative analysis of qualitative and quantitative data from three small NATO and EU member states, Estonia, Slovakia and Slovenia, over the period from 1991 to 2020. Compared to previous research, which is mostly based on focusing approaches only on a single factor or a single area in a relations, the results of the study showed that the applicability of the theoretical model to small NATO and EU member states, based on a holistic approach, constitute an important contribution to the development of defence science in achieving both theoretical and praxeological objectives in designing a methodological and explanatory framework for the study of defence policies, defence strategies and defence planning and their interrelationships within a country and between countries.
