Summary/Abstract: This article looks at recent political discourses in Macedonia, from the late 1990s to present date, focusing on NATO and Macedonian prospective membership in the Alliance. In the face of NATO integration efforts of the government, this article outlines the main pro- and anti- NATO arguments. The article claims that NATO discourse in Macedonia is predominantly symbolic, revolving around an appealing and romanticized image of NATO that Macedonians (population as well as political elites) entertain.
