Abstract

Ovaj se rad bavi transformacijom NATO saveza iz sustava kolektivne obrane prema sustavu kolektivne sigurnosti s posebnim naglaskom na misije potpore miru. Promjene koje su se tada odvijale na globalnoj razini, prisilile su NATO savez da proširi svoje zadaće kako bi osigurao svoje prisustvo u međunarodnoj zajednici. U sklopu toga, prikazat će se razvoj Republike Hrvatske od primateljice pomoći za vrijeme ratnih zbivanja, sve do pružateljice pomoći nedugo nakon osamostaljenja. Završetkom rata u Hrvatskoj te njezinim osamostaljenjem Hrvatska počinje intenzivno raditi na približavanju članstva u međunarodnim organizacijama. Vidljivo je kako je želja za proširenjem NATO saveza dolazila s dvije strane. S jedne strane osnivanjem Partnerstva za mir NATO je nastojao olakšati potencijalnim članicama ulazak u Savez, te s druge strane države su izradom nacionalnih strateških dokumenata pokušale zadovoljiti sve kriterije. Uz to, Hrvatska se nastojala istaknuti kroz sudjelovanje u mirovnim misijama. Vidljivo je kako se Hrvatska već 2003. godine priključila mirovnoj misiji u Afganistanu, iako je tek 2009. godine postala punopravna članica NATO saveza. Od tada, pa sve do danas Republika Hrvatska je sudjelovala u nizu misija i aktivnosti NATO saveza. Stoga, kroz rad se nastoji odgovoriti na pitanje: Što je utjecalo na to da se Hrvatska koja je do 1995. godine bila primateljica sigurnosti transformira u pružateljicu sigurnosti u okviru mirovnih misija NATO saveza? Kako bi pronašao odgovor, bilo je potrebno sagledati tadašnje okruženje, utjecaj NATO saveza, ali i strateške dokumente koji su također utjecali na položaj Hrvatske na međunarodnom planu.

Abstract (english)

This paper deals with the transformation of the NATO alliance from a system of collective defense to a system of collective security with special emphasis on peace support missions. The changes that took place at the global level forced the NATO alliance to expand its tasks in order to ensure its presence in the international community. As part of this, the development of the Republic of Croatia will be shown from the recipient of aid during the war to the provider of aid shortly after independence. With the end of the war in Croatia and its independence, Croatia began to work intensively on approaching membership in international organizations. It is visible that the desire to expand the NATO alliance came from two sides. On the one hand, by establishing the Partnership for Peace, NATO tried to facilitate for potential members to enter the Alliance, and on the other hand, the countries tried to meet all the criteria by creating national strategic documents. In addition, Croatia tried to stand out through participation in peacekeeping missions. It is visible that Croatia already joined the peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan in 2003, although it became a full member of the NATO alliance in 2009. Since then, until today, the Republic of Croatia has participated in a series of missions and activities of the NATO alliance. Therefore, the paper tries to answer the question: What influenced the transformation of Croatia, which until 1995 was a recipient of security, into a provider of security within the peacekeeping missions of the NATO alliance? In order to find the answer, it was necessary to look at the environment at that time, the influence of the NATO alliance, but also the strategic documents that also influenced Croatia's position on the international level.
