Skopje’s Political Efficiency: Converting a National Goal to National Policy

Abstract

Although the focus of this paper is Skopje’s political efficiency, one must first have a general idea about the formation of a nation’s national security policy. I am offering in very general and rudimental terms enough information regarding a country’s national security as I deem necessary to establish a reasonable background. Politics and war although differ in means of delivery, they aim at identical objectives, i.e. the imposition of one’s will over another. Thus, when one reads a text that in one’s mind it is associated with war, one should convert one’s thoughts as if the subject refers to politics.
