НЕФОРМАЛНИ МРЕЖИ ВО МАКЕДОНИЈА: ВЛИЈАНИЕ И АКТИВНОСТ
INNFORMAL NETWORKS IN MACEDONIA: IMPACT AND ACTIVITY

Summary/Abstract: The democracy is a continuous looking for a solution how to control the power of the state, actually how to articulate and provide workable civil society. The solution is in establishing rules and institutions, which will guarantee the equal rights of the citizens. Democratization, especially in the post-communist countries is facing enormous challenge in reforming mentality, everyday behavior and political culture. The researching of informal relations and networks is not only acceptance of such challenge, but also is an indicator of the level of established democracy. Hence, the central question that rises up is what the level of democracy in Macedonia is? The answer to this question is based on the answers of the list of questions like: (1) whether informal networks in Macedonia are influential and in what sphere their influence is the biggest? (2) Whether informal networks are more useful or more harmful for the society and do they facilitate corruption; (3) is there a political will to reduce the negative influence of informal networks?
