THE CORRELATION OF ETHNOPOLITICS AND SECURITY IN EASTERN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES - IN SEARCH OF NEW RESEARCH APPROACHES

Summary/Abstract: This article aims to analyses the main research paradigms used in ethnopolitics and attempt to fill the methodological research gap by proposing an original research paradigm explaining the cause-and-effect relationships between ethnopolitics and security. The interdisciplinarity of the subject required the selection of adequate research methods. As a result, an integral approach was used to selectively adapt the assumptions of classical research methods used in political science and security sciences. The literature analysis and the comparative method were important, allowing for identifying similarities and differences between the research paradigms studied. As a result of research from the existing knowledge on the main research paradigms in the area of ethnopolitics was verified and integrated, and an innovative research paradigm (ethnopolitical-securitization) was proposed, showing the mechanism of the relationship between the conditions of ethnopolitics, ethnopolitics, and state security. Results were obtained for theories of political science and security science.
