Abstract

Ovaj prvostupnički rad proučit će trenutni političko-geografski položaj Republike Hrvatske i njen položaj u globalnim strukturama i tokovima. Cilj rada je utvrditi na koji način geografija utječe na politički status i moć Hrvatske u svijetu i utvrditi kakvo je njeno političko okruženje. U radu će se posebna pažnja obratiti na položaj Hrvatske unutar Europske unije s obzirom na neke važne izazove za Uniju, proširenje na zapadni Balkan i migrantsku krizu, te na njeno djelovanje za vrijeme predsjedanja Vijećem Europske unije. Proučit će se i hrvatski interesi i ciljevi u vanjskoj politici prema susjednim zemljama kao i prema europskim integracijama. Također, proučit će se gdje se Hrvatska nalazi u odnosu na globalne konstrukcije dviju velikih svjetskih sila, SAD-a i Kine. S obzirom da se odnosi moći u svijetu konstantno mijenjaju, za Hrvatsku je bitno da nađe svoje mjesto u globalnim tokovima i strateški se povezuje s drugim zemljama kako bi mogla ostvarivati svoje političke ciljeve.

This Bachelor's thesis will research current political-geographical position of the Republic of Croatia and its position in global structures and flows. The aim is to determine in which way does geography affect political status and power of Croatia in the world and to establish what its political surrounding is like. In this paper special attention will be dedicated to Croatia’s position in European Union regarding some of Union’s biggest challenges, enlargement towards Western Balkans and migrant crisis, and on its activity during the time of its Presidency of the European Union. Croatia’s interests and goals in foreign policy towards neighbouring countries, as well as those towards European integrations, will also be researched. Also, it will be determined where does Croatia stand in global constructions of two major global powers, the USA and China. Considering the constant change in global relations of power, for Croatia it is important to find its place in global flows and to strategically connect with other countries in order to achieve its political goals.
