Book Synopsis Democratic Transition in Slovenia by : Sabrina P. Ramet
Download or read book Democratic Transition in Slovenia written by Sabrina P. Ramet and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2006-09-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first of the Yugoslav successor states to successfully build a democratic system and to enter the European Union, Slovenia stands as a model for democratic transition. This ground-breaking volume analyzes the challenges confronting the post-Communist government and evaluates the strategies adopted in refashioning its value system. Sabrina P. Ramet and Danica Fink-Hafner have assembled a team of outstanding specialists to analyze various aspects of the country’s transformation from socialism to democracy. The editors note that while a great deal has been written on political and economic questions, relatively little attention has been paid to the transformation and transmission of values and norms in Eastern Europe over the past fifteen years. Slovenia’s experience, reflected in these pages, demonstrates how a small country has created the preconditions necessary to the construction of a civic, democratic culture. Six values are emphasized as central to this project: tolerance, equality, church-state separation, respect for democratic procedure and the rule of law, human rights, and civic-mindedness. The volume editors join the other contributors in discussing the way in which Slovenia has set out to build democracy, the ways in which values are transmitted, the role of the media in a free society, the structure of educational systems, and other questions which are of concern not just to Slovenes, but to everyone who aspires to live in an open, democratic society.

Book Synopsis The Failure of Economic Nationalism in Slovenia's Transition by : Rok Spruk
Download or read book The Failure of Economic Nationalism in Slovenia's Transition written by Rok Spruk and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1991, Slovenia entered the structural transformation from socialist economic system towards free-enterprise system. However, the transition to market did not include large-scale privatization, market liberalization and institutional change towards the rule of law. This enabled the formation of key interest groups such as post-communist oligarchs and trade unions and led to the institutional blockade of key structural reforms and preserved the political rents from status quo. The failure to embark on growth-enhancing structural transformation in the name of welfare state and social justice resulted in disastrous consequences for future growth. The founders of Slovenian state never really embraced the ethical principles of rule of law, limited government and free markets. They avoided economic freedom and prefered fragile and malfunctioning institutions that enabled to prolong the tyranny of the status quo and reap political payoff. If the founders of Slovenian state embraced the substantive ideas of liberal democracy and open economy free from corruption and nepotism, country's income per capita would be closer to the United States and Singapore rather than Italy and Greece.
Book Synopsis Uncertain Path by : Rudolf Martin Rizman
Download or read book Uncertain Path written by Rudolf Martin Rizman and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this case study of the politics of transition in Eastern Europe, Rudolf Martin Rizman provides a careful, detailed sociological explanation and narrative on the emergence of independent statehood and democracy in Slovenia. In his focus on the transition from an authoritarian to a democratic regime, Rizman analyzes social processes and political issues in the context of the Third Wave of democratization, identifying "zones of certainty and uncertainty." Challenging many generally accepted ideas about small states and their transitions to democracy, this book places Slovenia's pattern of democratization in the wider regional context of eastern and central European post-communist transitions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 1,3, European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), course: Economic Transformation in Central and Eastern Europe, language: English, abstract: Slovenia is one of the best examples for a successful transformation. Founded in 1990, after leaving the communist Federal Republic Yugoslavia, it was one of the first new eastern member states of the EU and the first Eastern-European country which introduced the EURO in 2007. In this paper the transformation process of Slovenia will be analyzed in detail. After a review of Slovenia’s history and its development in Yugoslavia, the initial conditions of the transformation will be described. In the following the transformation process will be dissected. Therefore the political transformation, the liberalization and the market transformation, the privatization and the developments in the financial sector will be portrayed before the entire transformation process will be evaluated. Furthermore the accession to the EU and the EURO zone will be examined, before two current problems, the demographic change and the financial crisis, will be analyzed. At the end of this paper stands a conclusion why Slovenia’s transformation was successful and which parts of it fell short.
Book Synopsis On Baltic Slovenia and Adriatic Lithuania by : Zenonas Norkus
Download or read book On Baltic Slovenia and Adriatic Lithuania written by Zenonas Norkus and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides an innovatory internationally comparative causal analysis of the variation in political and economic outcomes of post-communist transformations after the first decade, using multi-value qualitative comparative analysis and TOSMANA software. This analysis includes a critical revision of received dichotomies (e.g. on gradualism versus "shock therapy") about post-communist transformation, a discussion of the counterfactual scripts of post-communist transformation, and contributes to current debates on the varieties of post-communist capitalism. This conceptual framework is applied in case studies of the transformation in the Baltic States, with special consideration given to the possibility of alternatives to the Lithuanian way and the challenges of populism in this country's politics.

Book Synopsis Worker Displacement During the Transition by : Peter F. Orazem
Download or read book Worker Displacement During the Transition written by Peter F. Orazem and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2004 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The transition to market in Slovenia created labor displacements that were on par or greater than that experienced in North America in the 1980s. A simple theoretical model suggests that factors which raise the probability of layoff should also increase the probability of a quit, predictions that are borne out in data. Probability of both layoffs and quits fell with worker tenure, firm profitability and expected severance costs. Individuals facing a higher probability of displacement accepted slower wage growth than otherwise comparable workers. The incentives to avoid displacement were strong -- workers that actually were displaced faced a slow process of transiting out of unemployment with only one-third finding reemployment. Correcting for selection, real wage losses for displaced workers are comparable to those reported for displaced workers in North America"--Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit web site.

Book Synopsis The End of Transition in Slovenia by : Davorin Kračun
Download or read book The End of Transition in Slovenia written by Davorin Kračun and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slovenia's economic transformation deviated from the usual patterns: its general approach to reforms was rather conservative and had more elements of gradualism than shock therapy. It was inclined to tolerate inflation as Slovenia decided to pursue some priorities other than fighting inflation at any price. The decisive period was between 1991 and 1994 when the government implemented crucial reforms creating favorable conditions for inflation to decrease and, at the same time, turn the economy toward sustained growth. Indeed, GDP growth rates after 1993 were between 3% and 5% while inflation remained on a moderate level. Immediately before entering the EU and ERM2 inflation was finally reduced.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study examines the democratization in Slovenia and compares it to democratization processes elsewhere, drawing patterns upon not only other post-communist democratizations but also upon general patterns in other third-wave democratizations. The book begins with a theoretical overview: the problem of defining democracy, democratic transition and democratic consolidation. It proceeds to an examination of the historical, political, and economic factors relevant for the democratization. The transition is explained from Yugoslav, Slovenian, and external aspects, where foundations for patterns in Slovenian democratization are sought. The consolidation is examined on the institutional level and on the level of the actors. In the concluding analysis, the indicators of democratic consolidation are examined in a comparative perspective and applied to Slovenia.

Book Synopsis Slovenia in the European Union by : Toby Martin Applegate
Download or read book Slovenia in the European Union written by Toby Martin Applegate and published by Ibidem Press. This book was released on 2018-10-27 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slovenia's transition from a constituent federal republic within Yugoslavia to an independent nation-state has not been the trouble-free process long represented in the academy and in the press. On the contrary, its status as both a test case and best case for postsocialist transition and European Union accession served to smooth over troubling outcomes of its independence. Toby M. Applegate argues that the very process of accession to the EU coupled with early mistakes by Slovenia's political leadership created human rights problems of two different kinds: an almost expected exclusion of people and an unusual way of establishing sovereignty as a nation-state. Critical questions arise: What does it mean to be a small sovereign state that wants to stand on its own but, in order to do so, must lose a portion of that newly-earned sovereignty? And does losing that portion of sovereignty protect human rights in light of the European Union's own purported goals as protector of such rights? These questions are particularly salient in light of contemporary independence movements elsewhere in the European Union. This book has a large cross-disciplinary appeal and should be read by political philosophers, political scientists, sociologists, geographers, and policy experts.
