ABSTRACT

The article draws on Hansen and Wæver’s three-layered framework of state-nation-Europe, and applies it to Slovenia and Croatia. The aim is to examine how nation- and state-building affect these countries’ Europeanization before and after EU accession. The novelty of the contribution is the specific attention paid to the post-Yugoslav space as a reference for nation- and state-building. Our findings underline that the Slovenian and Croatian state-nation concept and its relationship to Europe are not per se fixed frames, but are fluid attitudes, prone to change and reaffirmation. We also establish a comparative difference between the domestic and the Europe layer for the two states.

摘要

本文借鉴了汉森和韦弗的国家-民族-欧洲三层框架，并将其应用于斯洛文尼亚和克罗地亚。目的是研究民族和国家建设如何影响这些国家在加入欧盟之前和之后的欧洲化。该贡献的新颖之处在于特别关注后南斯拉夫空间作为民族和国家建设的参考。我们的研究结果强调，斯洛文尼亚和克罗地亚的国家概念及其与欧洲的关系本身并不是固定的框架，而是流动的态度，容易发生变化和重申。我们还建立了两国国内层和欧洲层之间的比较差异。
