Abstract

Studijom slučaja dviju država, Švicarske konfederacije i Republike Finske, nastoje se predstaviti politike nacionalne sigurnosti te njihov odnos s NATO savezom nakon završetka Hladnoga rata koji je donio mnoge promjene u međunarodnim odnosima. Za ovo istraživanje važna je činjenica da je NATO savez doživio proces transformacije i preobrazbe završetkom Hladnog rata. Upravo se iz toga razloga nastoje uočiti i utvrditi razlike u provođenju politike nacionalne sigurnosti i neutralnosti na primjeru dviju država te analizirati odnos s NATO savezom nakon Hladnoga rata. U prvome dijelu predstavljena je politika nacionalne sigurnosti Republike Finske, u drugom dijelu odnos Finske i NATO saveza. Treći dio opisuje politiku nacionalne sigurnosti Švicarske, a četvrti dio odnos Švicarske s NATO savezom. U petom dijelu napravljena je usporedba dviju država po određenim komponentama s ciljem identificiranja sličnosti i razlika između dvije države. Namjera istraživanja je identificirati je li krajem Hladnoga rata te preobrazbom NATO saveza, u periodu kada više ne postoji utrka u naoružanju te potreba za odražavanjem neutralnosti između dva ideološki suprotstavljena bloka, došlo do promjena u vođenju politika nacionalne sigurnosti i neutralnosti. Također se želi utvrditi je li došlo do napretka u suradnji NATO saveza s neutralnim državama. Tema je važna jer se odgovorima na istraživačka pitanja može prosuđivati kakva je budućnost NATO saveza te mogu li dugotrajne i tradicionalno neutralne države poput Švicarske, ili one koje su odabrale svoju neutralnu poziciju tijekom Hladnog rata kao Finska, unaprijediti svoju suradnju s NATO savezom.

Abstract (english)

The case study of the two countries, the Swiss Confederation and the Republic of Finland, seeks to present national security policies and their relationship with NATO after the end of the Cold War, which resulted in many changes in the field of international relations. Important for this research is the fact that NATO has undergone a process of transformation after the end of the Cold War. For this reason, it is crucial to notice the differences in the implementation of the policy of national security and neutrality on the example of the two countries, and to analyse the relation with NATO after the Cold War. The first part presents the national security policy of the Republic of Finland, whereas the second part discusses the relationship between Finland and NATO. The third part describes Switzerland's national security policy, while the fourth part emphasizes Switzerland's relationship with NATO. In the fifth part, there is a comparison of the two countries by certain components in order to identify the similarities and differences between the two countries. The goal of the research was to identify if there was a change in national security and neutrality at the end of the Cold War, and in a period where there was no longer an arms race and the need to reflect neutrality between two ideologically opposed blocks. This paper also intends to identify if there has been progress in NATO's cooperation with neutral states. The topic is crucial in order to answer research questions which can provide deeper understanding of the future of NATO. Furthermore, answering research questions provides us with the opportunity to establish if there is any possibility that longstanding and traditionally neutral countries like Switzerland, or those that chose their neutral position during the Cold War, like Finland, improved their cooperation with NATO.
