Item type:Publication, ELECTORAL REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN ON NATIONAL AND LOCAL LEVEL: ARE WOMEN FIT TO GOVERN IN THE REPUBLIC OF NORTH MACEDONIA?(University of Belgrade – Faculty of Law, 2022); Women’s political representation is a key precondition for a better reach and involvement of women in policy making. In order for policy outcomes to take into account the needs and concerns of both gender groups, the institutional architecture in a democratic society should be based on the principles of equal opportunities for men and women. Gender- sensitive policy-making is best achieved through equal participation of men and women in the policy-making process. The Macedonian approach to the process of empowering women and developing awareness has been considered as positive, with women participating as active drivers of change. However, the number of women represented on national and local level of government indicates that we are still far away from achieving full gender parity and equal opportunities. In this article, we analyse a common theme in the literature – women in politics. More precisely, we examine the presence of women in government on national and local level in the Republic of North Macedonia. In the country, there are 80 local self-government units. For the purpose of this study, official data from the State Election Commission’s database and official gazettes of the country and local self-governing units will be used. The research aims to uncover discrepancies in women’s electoral participation at the national and local levels, as well as similarities and variances between municipalities and diverse patterns of women’s electoral representation at the local level. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Financing and governance of youth policies: The case of Republic of North Macedonia(2022); ; Nikolovska, AnitaThe paper evaluates the current developments of the youth policy in North Macedonia, focusing on the financing and governance mechanisms. Through an overview of the youth policies and key actors in the country, the authors emphasize the inconsistency and lack of continuity in the inclusion of young people in decision-making processes in North Macedonia. Although some progress has been made in the enhancement of the legal and institutional framework for advancing youth policies in the past few years, it is still early to record significant visible results. State financing of youth policies and youth organizations in Republic of North Macedonia and mechanisms for providing public funds for implementation of youth policies still remain as one of the main challenges of the state funding reform that the Government needs to focus on further. Analyzing the management and capacity for policy implementation, we came to conclusion that the newly established Local Youth Councils should provide an institutional channel for influence and representation, direct involvement of young people in decision-making processes, as well as developing and building partnerships between youth and local governments. Finally, we conclude that in the policy making process, the youth can be stable and powerful partner of the central and local government in determining the needs, problems and priorities of the youth, but also in the implementation of plans, measures and policies. However, the reform of the existing model of state funding should be one of the priorities of the government. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, The States in Digital Era: Internet Governance and Improving E-Democracy(International Academic Institute, 2020); Marija Magdincheva-ShopovaThis paper will make theoretical overview of internet governance and its implementation as a global politics goal for the states. As known, internet governance is the complementary development and application by governments, the private sector, civil society and the technical community, in their respective roles, of shared principles, norms, rules, decision-making procedures, and activities that shape the evolution and use of the Internet. In the paper is given focus of digitalization as a common global political priority for the states, as well as theoretical descriptive overview of the shared recommendations from the United Nations and Council of Europe related to implementation on internet governance. The paper will emphasize as well on building on line democracy, as well as on improving and straightening e-democracy, protecting human rights and rule of law in digital era. At the end of the paper, we conclude that the power of Information and Communication Technologies have a great potential to accelerate human progress, to ensure that public policy for the Internet is people-centred in order to build democracy online, to protect Internet users, and to ensure respect and protection for human rights online. We will also conclude that in future is also important for the states to ensure that public policy for the Internet is people-centred in order to build democracy online, to protect Internet users, and to ensure respect and protection for human rights online. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS OF MODERN EUROSCEPTICISM(Institute Of Economic Development And Social Researches Publications, 2024); Understanding euroscepticism goes beyond normative concerns about deepening European integration. It encompasses various aspects of political behavior, identities, public policies, democratic legitimacy, economy, ideology, and more. Euroscepticism is a complex and evolving phenomenon that lacks a universally accepted theoretical framework. Broadly, it denotes opposition to the European Union, whether in its entirety as a supranational entity or in its current structure, form, and political trajectory. Furthermore, euroscepticism manifests across the political spectrum, from left to right. Factors such as economic crises, fiscal policies, and the refugee crisis have intensified negative sentiments toward the EU among its populace. This environment has fostered the growth of eurosceptic parties and groups espousing populist and nationalist agendas. This study aims to delineate the contemporary dimensions of euroscepticism within the EU, following a review of the theoretical framework and essential conceptual clarifications related to euroscepticism. The results indicate that euroscepticism primarily revolves around concerns regarding sovereignty, identity, and the level of trust in national political systems. Additionally, euroscepticism correlates with the two significant crises that have challenged the EU and considerably tarnished its reputation: the economic crisis and the refugee crisis. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, ONLINE MEDIA IN NORTH MACEDONIA: LEGAL FRAMEWORK, CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES(IKSAD Publishing House, 2024)Online media in North Macedonia falls under the same legal framework as traditional media, with laws and regulations governing issues such as freedom of expression, defamation, hate speech, and privacy. The legal framework for online media in North Macedonia includes the Law on Media, which applies to both traditional and online media outlets. This law sets out regulations concerning the registration and operation of media outlets, as well as standards for journalistic ethics and professional conduct. Media outlets are indirectly regulated by multiple laws and regulations that intersect with other areas of law, such as telecommunications and information technology, copyright infringement, cybercrime, and the spread of misinformation or harmful content. However, online media in North Macedonia are not regulated and are subject to self-regulation. The need for strengthening self-regulation of online media has been stated in ethe EC Country Progress Report in the past few years. The global trend of receiving news by online media gives the digital environment the possibility to use algorithms in order to adjust the content to the viewers’ preferences but at the same time the online environment can be used for spreading disinformation. Online media in North Macedonia have become an unregulated space where disinformation has been spread very often for different purposes, and social networks have been used for the same purposes, too. One of the key challenges of the Macedonian media landscape is how ethical and professional principles that apply to traditional media could be also applied to the online media as a growing source of information for the public. The paper analyses the need for changess and development of a legal framework governing online media in North Macedonia in response to technological advancements, changes in societal norms, and international developments.
