Abstract

Politike neutralnosti europskih država doživjele su redefiniciju u razdoblju nakon završetka Hladnog rata. Finska i Švedska su dvije nordijske neutralne zemlje koje su se početkom 90-ih godina odlučile zadržati samo vojnu neutralnost odnosno ne ulaziti u vojne saveze, a uključiti se u proces europske integracije. S obzirom na to da su i Finska i Švedska punopravne članice Europske unije od 1995. godine provedeno je istraživanje u svrhu pronalaženja odgovora na pitanje mogu li one sačuvati svoju neutralnost unatoč ulasku u Europsku uniju koje uključuje prihvaćanje acquis communautaire i sudjelovanje u Zajedničkoj vanjskoj i sigurnosnoj politici EU koja je prvi put definirana u Ugovoru o Europskoj uniji 1992. godine te kasnije detaljnije definirana u Lisabonskom ugovoru. Zajednička sigurnosna i obrambena politika EU jedna je od komponenti Zajedničke vanjske i sigurnosne politike, a ta komponenta ima dugoročni cilj da se razvije zajednička obrana Unije što bi značilo kraj neutralnosti Finske i Švedske. U radu je naglasak na prilagodbi Finske i Švedske novim okolnostima u međunarodnoj zajednici po završetku Hladnog rata te na koji način su one redefinirale svoju neutralnost prema članstvu u Europskoj uniji.

Abstract (english)

The policy of neutrality of European states was redefined in the period following the end of the Cold War. Finland and Sweden are two Nordic neutral countries which in the early 1990s decided to retain only military neutrality and decided not to enter the military alliances but the European integration process instead. Finland and Sweden have been full members of the European Union since 1995 and this research aims to find the answers to the question of whether they preserved the neutrality despite the European Union accession, which included adoption of the acquis communautaire and participation in the Common Foreign and Security Policy. Common Foreign and Security Policy was defined for the first time in the 1992 EU Treaty and also redefined in the Lisbon Treaty. The Common Security and Defense policy of the EU is one of the components of the Common Foreign and Security Policy, and this component has a long-term goal to develop joined EU defense forces, which would represent the end of the neutrality of Finland and Sweden. This paper is focused on the adjustment of Finland and Sweden to the new circumstances in the international community after the Cold War and how they redefined their neutrality considering membership in the European Union.
