Na rob razprave o morebitnem članstvu Republike Slovenije v Natu

Abstract

V nasprotju s prejšnjim obdobjem je v l. 2001-2002 dobilo vprašanje morebitnega članstva Slovenije v Natu ključno novo razsežnost, saj je postalo načelno sprejemljivo tudi za Nato. Zaradi tega je toliko bolj potrebna poglobljena in korektna javna razprava. Vsebinsko pomemben vzrok za pomanjkanje take razprave vidim v nezadostni politični kulturi dialoga. Večina objavljenih besedil in komentarjev v javnih občilih so bila do sedaj enostranska. V številnih nastopih nasprotnikov vstopa Slovenije v Nato sem zasledil veliko zelo spornih, oz. neresničnih trditev. Vladajoča koalicija je bila dolgo brezbrižna, medtem ko je v nekaterih slovenskih občilih potekala organizirana kampanja zoper članstvo. Otežujoče okoliščine so se vedno razširjena nevednost, napačne predstave in predsodki o Natu. Glavni razlog za zmanjševanje javnomnenjske podpore pa vidim v široko razširjenem lažnem občutku varnosti in v pešajočem kolektivnem spominu. Razprava o članstvu v zavezništvu je zaradi vdorov zelo različnih silnic ustvarila nenavadno politično polarizacijo, ki gre v veliki meri mimo ustaljenih socialnih, kulturnih, verskih, ideoloških in svetovnonazorskih delitev v slovenski družbi.

Secondary title:	ǂA ǂcontribution to the debate on the membership of the Republic of Slovenia in NATO
Secondary abstract:	In contrast to the previous period, the question of the membership of Sloveniain possible NATO, gained a new dimension in 2001-2002, since the membership became acceptable in principle, also for NATO. This requires a substantive and correct public debate. The author sees an important reason for a lack of such debate in insufficient political culture of dialog. A majority of the published articles and comments in mass media were until now one-sided. The author noticed a lot of very controversial and false statementson the part of the opponents to the NATO membership. The ruling coalition was unconcerned for a long time, while an organised campaign againstthe NATO membership has been carried out in some Slovenian mass media. Aggravating circumstances are still the wide-spread ignorance, incorrect notions and biases against NATO. The main reason for the decline in public opinion support is seen in a widespread false of feeling false security and the weakening of collective memory. The debate on NATO membership, due to several factors, has produced political polarisation, that largely cuts accross the usual social, cultural, religious, and ideological divisions in Slovenian society.
