Abstract

U ovom radu analizira se političko-ekonomski trendovi Europske unije (EU) nakon krize izazvane COVID-19, s posebnim osvrtom na Mehanizam za oporavak i otpornost (RRF) koji je donesen unutar plana EU sljedeće generacije (NextGenerationEU). Cilj istraživanja je steći dublji uvid u političke i ekonomske aspekte Mehanizam za oporavak i otpornost te razumjeti kako oblikuje dugoročni smjer EU-a. U tu svrhu rad analizira ključne koncepte i mehanizme liberalizma i kejnezijanizma, kao dvije velike škole političke ekonomije, te promatra njihov utjecaj na ekonomsku politiku Europske unije. Kroz analizu ekonomskih pokazatelja i sadržaja relevantnih dokumenata rad nastoji odgovoriti na pitanje kako Mehanizam za oporavak i otpornost odražava principe liberalne i kejnezijanske političke ekonomije te kakav dugoročni utjecaj imaju ove paradigme na oblikovanje ekonomske politike Europske unije. Analiza dovodi do zaključka da je kriza uzrokovana pandemijom dovela do promjene u dominantnoj ekonomskoj paradigmi unutar EU te da su elementi kejnezijanizma postali značajni u oblikovanju politike ekonomskog oporavka.

Abstract (english)

This paper analyses the political and economic trends of the European Union (EU) following the crisis triggered by COVID-19, with a particular focus on the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) adopted within the framework of the NextGenerationEU plan. The research aims to gain deeper insights into the political and economic aspects of the Recovery and Resilience Facility and to understand how it is shaping the long-term direction of the EU. To this end, the paper examines the key concepts and mechanisms of liberalism and Keynesianism, as two major schools of political economy, and their impact on the EU's economic policy. Through the analysis of economic indicators and the content of relevant documents, the paper seeks to address how the Recovery and Resilience Facility reflects the principles of liberal and Keynesian political economy, and what long-term impact these paradigms have on the shaping of EU economic policy. The analysis concludes that the crisis caused by the pandemic has led to a shift in the dominant economic paradigm within the EU, with Keynesian elements becoming significant in shaping the economic recovery policy.
