| Title | Security is what the state makes of it: the Greece - Macedonia name dispute |
| Summary | The main purpose of this thesis is to answer the question as to why the Greek-Macedonian name dispute has proven intractable so far. By drawing on the literature on the security dilemma and the Copenhagen school of securitization, I will argue, firstly, that the Greek-Macedonian name dispute has proven intractable so far because it is a case of an intertwined interstate and societal security dilemma, involving both territorial and societal integrity as reference objects of security. In addition to that, I argue that these security dilemmas are the result of securitising moves by politicians, official security experts, civil society actors and media organisations in Greece and Macedonia. These respective moves were accepted by the Greek and by the Macedonian population because of a number of discursive and non-discursive facilitating conditions, notably historical conditions, and demographic conditions. |
