Abstract

Postoji velika praznina u politologiji koja bi na adekvatan način usporedila programe kao što su Omladinske radne akcije i Europske snage solidarnosti. I jedan i drugi u znanstvenom smislu skoro da uopće nisu istraženi niti zastupljeni. Ovim diplomskim radom daje se nešto detaljniji pregled jednog i drugog programa, njihova povijest, nastanak i razvoj, ali i modeli provedbe što je od izuzetne važnosti za demistifikaciju utjecaja koji takvi (i slični programi) imaju na kreiranje (supra)nacionalnih identiteta kroz implementaciju ovakvih modela rada sa mladima i za mlade na različitim razinima. Sam rad, osim što prezentira dva spomenuta programa, konkretnije se bavi njihovom usporedbom shvaćajući njihovu poziciju i ulogu u izgradnji i/ ili afirmiranju supranacionalnih identiteta. Možemo reći da i jedan i drugi program, iako nastali u različitim vremenskim epohama, njeguju zajednički duh solidarnosti i ideju rada za opće dobro te istodobno nose u sebi tendenciju uspostave i održavanja supranacionalnih identiteta na suptilan, ali i formaliziran način. Radi se, dakle, o dva programa koji su isti po ideji, slični po modelu provedbe, ali različiti po vremenu i kontekstu nastajanja. Stvaranje „Jugoslavena“ projekt je koji je završio (neuspješno), dok je stvaranje „Europljana“ i dalje aktualno i prisutno unatoč raznim opstrukcijama kroz polikrize Europske unije.

Abstract (english)

There is a huge gap in political science regarding the comparison of two similar programs such as Youth Labor Actions and European Solidarity Corps. Both of these are almost invisible in scientific work. This MA thesis provides us with a chance to dig deeper by presenting a more detailed overview of both of the above-mentioned programs, their history and early beginnings, but also ways of implementation. This is extremely important for the content presented here as it is noticed that these kinds of programs which deal with youth are one of the best ways to create and support the narrative in favor of supranational identity creation and affirmation among youth. Besides that, this MA thesis presents two of the above-mentioned Programs by way of making concrete comparisons which contribute to a better understanding of their position and role in establishing and emphasizing supranational identities. We can say that both programs, even though developed in different historical periods, nurture the same spirit of solidarity and the idea of work for common good and have the same tendency of creating and maintaining supranational identities in subtle but at the same time formalized ways. To be clear, these are two programs that share the same idea and similar implementation mode, but differ by the period and context in which they emerged. Creation of Yugoslavs failed as a project, while creation of Europeans is still alive, no matter EU's poly crisis and challenges that are constantly present.
