Conflict in Macedonia: A Challenge For New Reform Policy

Sažetak
Despite the fact that it has been almost twelve years since the escalation of conflict in Macedonia, the conflict is still a subject of serious theoretical analysis and remains particularly popular in the internal policy circles, especially in creating the new reform policy in the Republic of acedonia. Actually, from the Macedonian example of relatively successful revention sprang out a general lesson for both international and domestic actors. That is to say that conflict prevention cannot be illustrated as a formula that mends problems on the surface, but in fact it leaves open deep political (ethnopolitical mobilization, corruption, crime), economic (independence, unemployment, lack of investments, illegal trade), social (poverty, low standard) and security (illegal possession and trafficking in arms, illegal trafficking in people) reasons for conflict. The intersection of conditions in Macedonia before and after the conflict in 2001 is an obvious example of that. Therefore the elaboration of contents in this paper develops in three directions: firstly, there is an attempt for rational analysis of socio-economic, political and ethnic premises in Macedonian society, so as to indicate its immanent but important potential which led to armed violence between Albanian and Macedonian communities. The second line of analysis refers to the challenges and efforts of the Macedonian state for resolving the crisis, while the third line of analysis refers to political reforms as crucial for peace building, a stable and secure Macedonia.
