身份进化与欧洲化进程——克罗地亚和塞尔维亚两国入盟进程比较研究

National Identity Evolution and Europeanization:A Comparative Study of the Europeanization Processes of Serbia and Croatia

在欧洲化进程中,为什么一些国家能够较为顺畅地实现自我身份的转化并较早地加入欧盟,而另一些国家却难以实现自我身份的转化,迟迟难以入盟?为什么两个相似的国家出现了不同的欧洲化路径?为了回答这些问题,本文比较了克罗地亚和塞尔维亚的欧洲化进程。这两个巴尔干国家具有共同的社会主义联邦共和国历史,经历了滞后的民主转型后申请加入欧盟,却出现了不一样的欧洲化路径。文章从国内视角而非欧盟层面分析这一差异化进程,结论认为,国家身份进化策略的差异是导致这一结果的主要原因。

During the process of Europeanization,it is rather easy for some countries to achieve a smooth self-identity transition and acceded to the EU at an early stage.However,it appears more difficult for some others to achieve self-identity transformation,which has delayed their joining the EU.For example,different paths to Europeanization may be undertaken by two countries bearing similar features.What are the reasons for such differences? To answer this question,this paper makes a comparison of the Europeanization processes of Croatia and Serbia,both having a similar historical legacy of ideological struggles and ethnic wars.The author attempts to study their differentiated Europeanization processes from the domestic rather than EU perspective and argues that the differences in their strategies towards identity transformation could give us a proper interpretation.
