“…Norm hybridisation is a process where a different norm, which is a better local 'fit', emerges out of a process of norm adaptation (Moore 2012). In the context of transitional justice, evidence suggests that alternative domestic norms, such as those of national identity, will block international justice normative interventions and will lead to norm resistance (Freyburg and Richter 2010).…”

The article contributes to the 'second wave' norm diffusion literature by offering a new theoretical lens through which to explain unexpected policy outcomes of international normative interventions. Specifically, the article aims to challenge the international norms scholarship by questioning what power international norms actually have in domestic politics of adopting states. To answer this question I analyse the process of diffusion, contestation, and localisation of transitional justice norms -ways of dealing with legacies of past violence -in the Western Balkans. I choose three principal transitional justice concepts -truth, justice, and reconciliation -and analyse how their local meaning in the Western Balkans diverged normatively from that of international transitional justice advocates, and to what political effect. I trace the processes of normative divergence of international transitional justice norms to demonstrate how the domestic understanding of international norms produced new meanings and practices and fundamentally challenged the principal assumptions behind the global governance of post-conflict reconstruction.

“…In addition, in these countries the domestic costs of complying with EU conditionality are also often very high, as they touch on sensitive questions of statehood and national identity (see e.g. Freyburg and Richter 2010;Subotić 2010). and low state capacity and lower levels of economic development make accession a more distance prospect.…”

The Europeanisation of candidate countries and new members is a rather recent research area that has grown strongly since the early 2000s. Research in this area has developed primarily in the context of the EU's eastern enlargement. A small number of theoretically informed book-length studies of the EU's influence on the Central and Eastern European candidate countries have provided a generalisable conceptual framework for this research area, drawing on the debate between rationalist institutionalist and constructivist institutionalist approaches in International Relations and Comparative Politics. This framework makes these studies highly compatible with analyses of the Europeanisation of member states, with which they also share one key empirical finding, namely that the impact of the EU on candidate countries is differential across countries and issue areas. At the same time, the theoretical implications of these findings appear more clear-cut than in the case of the Europeanisation of member states: rationalist institutionalism, with its focus on the external incentives underpinning EU conditionality and the material costs incurred by domestic veto players, appears well-suited to explaining variation in the patterns of Europeanisation in candidate countries. A very recent development within this research agenda is the focus on the Europeanisation of new member states. While the study of the EU's impact during the early years of membership was hitherto primarily a subfield of analyses of the Europeanisation of member states, it has now become an extension of studies of candidate countries by analysing the impact of accession on the dynamics of pre-accession Europeanisation and how durable and distinctive the patterns of candidate Europeanisation are in the post-accession stage.

“…Stoga je hrvatski proces priključivanja pratio čitav niz političkih i pravnih uvjeta, vezanih uz raspad Jugoslavije i nasljeđe rata koji su imali znatan utjecaj na odnos javnosti prema europskim integracijama i na razvoj domaće političke scene (Grubiša, 2012;Maldini, 2015). Od pitanja suradnje s Haaškim sudom i ratnih zločina, gdje je haško tužiteljstvo odlukom Europske unije da suradnju učini glavnim predpristupnim uvjetom zapravo imalo pravo veta na hrvatski proces priključi-vanja, do povrata izbjeglica i njihovih prava i imovine, te graničnih i imovinskih pitanja sa Slovenijom i pitanja gospodarenja Jadranom (Freyburg i Richter, 2008).…”

Sažetak rad analizira utjecaj odnosa prema nacionalnoj politici na podršku ulasku u eU, na hrvatskom referendumu o pristupanju održanom u siječnju 2012. Kontekst u kojem se odvijalo hrvatsko pristupanje eU karakterizirala je politička uvjetovanost vezana uz naslijeđe rata i odnosa sa susjedima, nedostatak jasne vizije hrvatskih elita o ulozi unutar eU i budućem smjeru razvoja Unije, percepcija ekonomske krize kao prije svega domaćeg fenomena te proeuropska pozicija politič-kih elita i medija. U takvim uvjetima na odnos hrvatskih građana prema eU prije svega utječe njihov odnos prema nacionalnim političkim elitama i institucijama. rad provjerava ovu hipotezu koristeći podatke prikupljene anketnim istraživanjem provedenim neposredno prije održavanja referenduma o pristupanju eU. analiza provedena multinominalnom logističkom regresijom pokazuje da povjerenje u političke institucije i percepcija političke djelotvornosti imaju najznačajniji utjecaj na odnos prema europskoj uniji. analiza također pokazuje da socioekonomski činitelji i procjene ekonomskog stanja nemaju značajan utjecaj na odnos hrvatske javnosti prema eU.Ključne riječi europska unija, pristupni proces, referendum, povjerenje, političke institucije, politička efikasnost UvodPristupanje Hrvatske Europskoj uniji odvijalo se u bitno drugačijem kontekstu od pristupanja drugih zemalja člani-ca iz srednje i istočne Europe. Hrvatska je pristupila Europskoj uniji u trenutku kad je ekonomska kriza počela potresati temelje europskih institucija i dovoditi u pitanje percepciju o Europskoj uniji kao jamcu ekonomskog razvoja i prosperiteta za sve zemlje članice. Hrvatska je ušla u Uniju u trenutku u kojem "permisivni konsenzus" između elita i javnosti o
