Abstract

ABSTRACT This article analyses the interplay of political discourses about the state, nation, and Europe in North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, focusing on the way in which contested statehood and/or nationhood impact these countries’ policies towards the European Union (EU). It examines texts by leading political figures related to EU integration process’ debates and practices as a way of exposing dominant, shifting, and opposing positions. We argue that the concepts of state and nation are particularly fluid and contested from within and/or outside, which in turn affects how the countries’ elites and populations see themselves in relation to Europe.

马其顿、波斯尼亚和科索沃：有争议的国家地位和欧盟

摘要本文分析了北马其顿、波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那和科索沃关于国家、民族和欧洲的政治话语的相互作用，重点关注有争议的国家地位和/或国家地位如何影响这些国家对欧盟的政策。它审查了与欧盟一体化进程的辩论和实践有关的主要政治人物的文本，以此揭露主导、转变和对立的立场。我们认为，国家和民族的概念特别不稳定，内部和/或外部都有争议，这反过来又影响了各国精英和民众如何看待自己与欧洲的关系。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding is a cross-disciplinary journal devoted to critical analysis of international intervention, focussing on interactions and practices that shape, influence and transform states and societies. In 21st century political practice, states and other actors increasingly strive to transplant what they see as normatively progressive political orders to other contexts. Accordingly, JISB focuses on the complex interconnections and mutually shaping interactions between donor and recipient communities within military, economic, social, or other interventional contexts, and welcomes perspectives on political life of, and beyond, European state-building processes. The journal brings together academics and practitioners from cross-disciplinary backgrounds, including international relations, political science, political economy, sociology, international law, social anthropology, geography, and regional studies. The editors are particularly interested in specific or comparative in-depth analyses of contemporary or historical interventions and state-building processes that are grounded in careful fieldwork and/or innovative methodologies. Multi or cross-disciplinary contributions and theoretically challenging pieces that broaden the study of intervention and state building to encompass processes of decision-making, or the complex interplay between actors on the ground, are especially encouraged.
