Politične stranke in javno mnenje: zaznava NATA

Abstract

Slovenska država se poteguje za vstop v Severnoatlantsko vojaško zavezništvo in na prvi pogled se zdi, da ta projekt, ki je med najpomembnejšimi nacionalnimi projekti po osamosvojitvi države, podpirajo tako parlamentarne politične stranke, kot tudi javnost. Analiza pokaže, da vse parlamentarne politične stranke ne podpirajo članstva Slovenije v Natu tako brezrezervno, kot bi sugeriral prvi vtis. Deklarativno se sicer za članstvo zavzemajo, vendar opazimo, da imajo stranke različno predstavo o tem, kakšna organizacija Nato je in kaj prinaša članstvo v njem. Stranke poudarjajo predvsem nevojaški in neobrambni značaj Nata in koristi, ki jih morebitno članstvo prinaša, manj pa je govora o obveznostih naše države do zavezništva in posledično mednarodne skupnosti nasploh. Javnomnenjski izsledki kažejo, da je podpora javnosti članstvu Slovenije v Natu relativno visoka in stabilna, hkrati pa sugerirajo, da bi občutno povečani obrambni izdatki kot posledica približevanja Slovenije Natu, utegnili to podporo omajati.

Secondary abstract:	Slovenian state is very enthusiastic about the eventual NATO membership, and it seems that the project, which is one of the most important national projects after achieving the independecy od Slovenia, is supported by all parliamentary political parties and the public. However, the analyses shows that not all parliamentary political parties support the membership as firm asthe first impression would suggest. In their public statements, political parties support the membership, but they all have different perceptions about,what kind of organisation NATO is, and what the membership brings. Political parties emphasize above all non-military and non-defence characteristics of the organisation, also the benefits of membership, while the responsibilities and obligations toward the Alliance and the internationalcommunity are generally neglected. Public opinion polls show a relatively high and stable the public support for the membership of Slovenia in NATO but at the same time the results suggest, that the considerably increased defence expenditures, as a consequence of eventual NATO membership, might shake the public support.
