Item type:Publication, Internationalism, Regionalism or seclusion – Rethinking North Macedonia’s future prospects(Faculty of Law, Tetova, Republic of North Macedonia, 2019)Irena Rajchinovska PandevaThe demise of the century of conflicts – the XX th century, does not seem to be altogether true for countries in the Balkan. Aside from its being “interesting times” in terms of the turbulences and unsteady developments, it has also been the century of much bloodshed, conflicts and clashes. Even though there was much hope and high expectation for progress, yet, neither the XXI st century has brought much change, and the Balkans seems to be trapped in limbo with projections of conflict on one end and stability on the other. Aside from this contestation milieu, there are also other pending concerns, such as the democratic consolidation of the region, ending of autocratic governance, achieving stability and security and advancing towards EU and NATO integration. The foreign policy towards the Balkan region has been articulated and dimensioned according to that perception and over the past decades it included various forms of intervention. These externalities have resulted to the creation of a new discourse named stabilitocracy. So, instead of dealing with the progress of the region, the focus is on the security and stability within the region and the states, themselves. Putting the stability and security on the top of the agenda, instead of dealing with region’s democratic advancement is problematic per se, but then again, the real concern derives from the outlook on the general progress of the region vis –a- vis the future predictions or its status some decades ago. The prospect of joining the EU and NATO is still on the top of the political agenda of the Balkan states so the EU must keep the perspective alive. The Macedonian future prospects have been predetermined by its past, its success and its failures. If the ending of Macedonian conundrum is dependent upon it making a choice among the three most viable perspectives, as mentioned before, then the internationalization is unmatched. Regionalism may engage the continuation the status quo or perpetuate further disputes and even conflicts, and it is an option that has passed the trial and error test. Isolation cannot secure any prospect of the country, except seclusion. One particular message recently conveyed by the French Ambassador in Macedonia, Mr. Thimonier that “the choice is between North Macedonia and North Korea”, can be experienced as a rough approximation or straightforward assessment of current prospects, since the recent developments regarding the name dispute are to be considered as instrumental in securing the EU and NATO perspective of Macedonia and its internationalism. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, FORCED MIGRATION AND CONFLICTS – CHALLENGES AND RESPONSES(Iustinianus Primus Law Faculty, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, 2020)Irena Rajchinovska PandevaThe world has changed a great deal in the past decades. This outcome was propelled by the process of globalization which interconnected the world more than ever before. Societies all over the globe underwent vital transformations and had to cope with immense pressures resulting from the developments in the social, economic and political arena. Domestic politics also had to grip with pressing issues that advanced beyond state borders and state jurisdiction. And international politics seemed dated since it failed to anticipate key features of the political universe of today. One of those features are migration flows and most specifically forced migration due to conflict or war. This article examines the relationship between migration and war i.e. forced migration due to conflict and war, the key categories of forced migration as well as the main challenges and responses. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Resurgent Turkey: the Turkish model and the Arab Spring(Iustinianus Primus Law Faculty, 2013)Irena Rajchinovska PandevaThe Arab Spring has brought significant change and turbulence in the Middle East region. Concerning the developments and future prospects, the debate on the Turkish model has intensified once again. For over six decades, Turkey has a democratic society, democratic elections, plural political system, institutions based on democratic accountability and a long-standing tradition of secular government. The Turkish model is probably the most relevant one to the wider region, because it incorporates successfully the principal elements of both worlds: East and West. Although labeled as ‘work in progress’, it is the finest know-how and the best practice available to the awoken peoples of the Arab spring. Its history offers quite a few lessons for those interested in implementing the ideas and institutions from the West into the East and it suggests that this objective can be achieved, although it takes a long time. Moreover, this is why after the Arab spring, the Turkish model became vigorously operational.
