Book Synopsis Democratic Transition in Slovenia by : Danica Fink Hafner
Download or read book Democratic Transition in Slovenia written by Danica Fink Hafner and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 314 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 Transitions from Authoritarianism by : Randall Baker
Download or read book Transitions from Authoritarianism written by Randall Baker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-10-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baker and his colleagues provide a blend of the theoretical and the empirical evidence in an examination of the nature of bureaucracy under non-democratic, authoritarian forms of government, whether on the right, as in Portugal, or the left, as in Bulgaria. In all these instances, the bureaucracy was constructed to serve the distorted interests of centralized, unaccountable power. Following the remarkable spread of democracy in the seventies in Iberia, the eighties in much of Latin America, parts of Asia and Africa, and the nineties in the former USSR and the Warsaw Pact countries, the main focus was on reforming the economy and the political institutions. Distinguished scholars concentrate on the inherited bureaucracy--the arm of government with which the people most often have to deal. They highlight the undemocratic, and sometimes antidemocratic, nature of the civil service that is supposed to serve democracy. Others consider the nature of reform as experienced, and as needed, why there is no major policy for real reform of the bureaucracy in many countries, and the similar experience of reforming from the left and the right. Contributors discuss specific experiences as case studies and examine the more general question of what lessons can be learned from this unique perspective into comparative public administration reform. Essential reading for scholars, students, policy makers, and others involved with comparative government and public administration.
Book Synopsis Slovenian Politics and the State by : Miro Hacek
Download or read book Slovenian Politics and the State written by Miro Hacek and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Slovenia is regarded today as a free country and consolidated democracy, with some problems with corruption, independent media, and independent judiciary. Since its independence in 1991, Slovenia has put in place democratic institutions of state organization, undergone major capital rearrangements, and achieved both of the starting objectives of new international involvement by entering the EU and NATO. On January 1st, 2007, Slovenia was the first among former socialist countries to take on the common European currency. Slovenia has been subject to highly varying assessments during the construction of its democratic political system; it has been acknowledged as “a ripe democracy,” complete democracy,” or, alternatively, “apparent” or “virtual democracy.” The move negative assessments of the Slovenian political system are related to the persistence of authoritarian behavior patterns and manipulation of democratic institutions that have found its way into the structures of political parties. This book follows the Slovenian evolution from the second-smallest Yugoslav republic to one of the most successful post-communist countries in Central Europe.

Book excerpt: For many citizens primary health care is the first point of contact with their health care system, where most of their health needs are satisfied but also acting as the gate to the rest of the system.

Book Synopsis From Dreams Of 'A Second Switzerland' To Capitalism Without A Human Face by : Aleksander Lorenčič
Download or read book From Dreams Of 'A Second Switzerland' To Capitalism Without A Human Face written by Aleksander Lorenčič and published by Založba ZRC. This book was released on with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tri desetletja samostojne države so vsekakor doba, ko lahko podamo mnenje o tranzicijskem procesu, ki se je na formalni ravni končal z vstopom v EU, tudi z zgodovinskega gledišča. Če se je vse do formalnega zaključka slovensko gospodarsko tranzicijo označevalo zlasti kot zgodbo o uspehu, so po letu 2004 v ospredje vse bolj stopala vse prej kot pozitivna mnenja in ocene. Knjiga obravnava osrednje procese gospodarske tranzicije, ki so spremenili gospodarsko sestavo, jo učvrstili in posodobili do te mere, da je slovensko gospodarstvo lahko hitreje dohitevalo razviti svet. Cilji avtorjevega zgodovinskega iskanja in spraševanja so pot v tranzicijo, vstopanje Slovenije v različne mednarodne integracije, makroekonomska stabilizacija, privatizacija in prestrukturiranje gospodarstva. Osvetli tudi problematiko regionalnega razvoja in razloge, zaradi katerih v obravnavanem obdobju ni prišlo do zmanjševanja medregionalnih razlik. Posebno pozornost namenja tudi gospodarski kriminaliteti, ki je tako posameznikom, kot podjetjem in državi povzročala veliko škode. Avtor v argumentirani pripovedi predstavi tudi značilnosti in dosežke procesa gospodarske preobrazbe v Srbiji ter na Hrvaškem, Češkem, Madžarskem in Poljskem.
