Abstract

U radu se istražuje proces europeizacije energetske politike Europske unije (EU) kroz tri analitičke razine. Prva razina istraživanja prikazuje se kako su krize utjecale na ambicije energetske tranzicije u prioritetima Europske komisije. Druga razina analizira usklađenost nacionalnih strateških dokumenata s europskim investicijskim prioritetima, dok treća razina dovodi u pitanje odraz europeizacije na najnižu provedbenu razinu javnih politika, putem analize javnih poziva i natječaja na studiji slučaja u Republici Hrvatskoj. Rezultati istraživanja potvrđuju da su korona kriza i rat u Ukrajini produbili integraciju energetske politike. Posljedično, integracija se putem procesa europeizacije odrazila i na nacionalne strateške dokumente koji su usklađeni sa smjernicama određenima na razini EU. Na tom tragu, treba reći kako inajniža provedbena razina direktno doprinosi postizanju horizontalnih ciljeva EU što potvrđuje uspješnost procesa europeizacije. Samim time, rad proširuje Radaellijevu definiciju europeizacije, uključujući i aspekt provedbe javne politike. Dodatna vrijednost ovog rada leži u tome što se metodologija istraživanja može primijeniti na slične komparativne studije među članicama EU, kao i na istraživanja drugih područja javnih politika EU. Time rad postaje relevantan za buduća istraživanja u integracije i implementacije javnih politika EU politika.

Abstract (english)

The paper investigates the process of Europeanization of the European Union's (EU) energy policy through three analytical levels. The first level of research examines how crises have influenced the ambitions of energy transition in the priorities of the European Commission. The second level analyzes the alignment of national strategic documents with European investment priorities, while the third level questions the impact of Europeanization on the lowest implementation level of public policies through an analysis of public calls and tenders in a case study in the Republic of Croatia. The research results confirm that the COVID-19 crisis and the war in Ukraine have deepened the integration of energy policy. Consequently, integration through the process of Europeanization has also reflected on national strategic documents, which are aligned with the guidelines set at the EU level. In this context, it should be noted that even the lowest implementation level directly contributes to achieving the horizontal goals of the EU, confirming the success of the Europeanization process. Therefore, the paper expands Radaelli's definition of Europeanization, including the aspect of public policy implementation. The additional value of the paper lies in the fact that the research methodology can be applied on comparative studies, as well as to the investigation of other areas of public policies. Thus making the paper relevant for future research in the field of EU integration and public policy implementation.
