Abstract

IN ENGLISH: The gradual abandoning of the ‘socialism in one country’ doctrine during the post-war period and the intensive transformation of European social democracy in the 1990s pushed social democratic politicians and intellectuals into the front line of advocates of a unified and powerful Europe. They contributed to the inclusion of social democratic and environmentalist values in the EU’s official narrative. The success of European integration and George W. Bush’s presidency created the narrative of the Promethean role of Europe. Scholars with a social democratic or environmentalist background created this narrative and it was also shaped by authors’ national contexts. ---------- IN CROATIAN: Postupno napuštanje doktrine "socijalizma u jednoj zemlji" nakon Drugog svjetskog rata i intenzivna transformacija europske socijaldemokracije u 1990-ima gurnula je socijaldemokratske političare i intelektualce na prvu liniju zagovornika ujedinjene i moćne Europe. Oni su doprinijeli uključenju socijaldemokratskih i environmentalističkih vrijednosti u službeni narativ EU-a. Uspjeh europske integracije i predsjednikovanje Georgea W. Busha stvorili su narativ prometejske uloge Europe. Znanstvenici socijaldemokratskog i environmentalističkog usmjerenja kreirali su taj narativ, a on je također bio oblikovan i nacionalnim kontekstima u kojima su ti autori djelovali.
