Abstract

Svake godine Europska unija svojim državama članicama, u periodu Europskog semestra, daje specifične preporuke koje služe za unaprjeđenje ekonomskih i socijalnih politika u državama članicama. Države članice nisu dužne implementirati ih ali ih moraju uzeti u obzir. Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se specifičnim preporukama koje su dane četirima državama članicama Srednje i Istočne Europe na području socijalne politike. Cilj ovoga rada bio je kroz kvantitativnu analizu sadržaja, u periodu od 2011. godine do 2019. godine, odgovoriti na sljedeća pitanja: Kakva je priroda preporuka socijalne politike? Jesu li se mijenjale specifične preporuke Europske unije od 2011. godine do danas? Ako jesu u kojoj mjeri i na koji način? Traži li Europska unija smanjenje ili povećanje socijalne države u Srednjoj i Istočnoj Europi?

Abstract (english)

Each year, the European union suggests country-specific recommendations to its Member States, within the framework of the European Semester, which serves to improve social and economic policies in Member States. Member States are not obliged to implement them, but need to take them into consideration. This master thesis look into country-specific recommendations given to four Member States of Central and Eastern Europe in the field of social policy. The aim of this thesis was to address the following research questions through quantitative content analysis of country-specific recommendations issued to Czechia, Croatia, Estonia and Slovakia in the period between 2011 to 2019: What is the nature of social policy recommendations? Have the specific recommendations of the European Union changed from 2011 to the present? If so, to what extent and in what way? Does the European union seek to reduce or to expand welfare states in Central and Eastern Europe?
