Diplomová práce

Anotace:

V roku 2004 sme boli svedkami najväčšieho rozšírenie EU v historií. Jendou z krajín bolo aj Slovensko. To však prinieslo aj svoje výzvy, nakoľko sa trebalo adaptovať na úroveň požadovanú v EU. Politické strany na Slovensku preukazujú rôzne postoje voči Europeizáci. Zo začiatku to vyzeralo nádejne, avšak posledné roky sme svedkami silnej proti Európskej rétoriky. Pomocou existujúcej literatúry sa v práci snažím zanalyzovať úroveň Europeizácie Slovenských poltiických strán.

Abstract:

In 2004, the largest EU enlargement took place and one of the 10 new countries joining the Union was Slovakia. Ever since, this small country has faced its own set of challenges in adapting to the new standards that were brought with this process. Political parties had and still do have different attitudes towards Europeanisation and many still struggle with this concept. After years of relatively unanimous approach, recent events have led to more established and popular parties to demonstrate anti-EU behavior. After 20 years of progress towards Europeanisation, Slovakia faces new questions that were not present since before joining the EU. By analyzing existing literature, my primary goal of this master's thesis is to critically assess the current state of knowledge on the topic of Europeanisation within Slovak political parties. Looking at both international literature and domestic, I will pinpoint the holes and provide an overview for future research.
