The Geopolitical Location of Slovenia in the Perspective of European Integration Processes
Dela 19 • 2003 • 123-139 THE GEOPOLITICAL LOCATION OF SLOVENIA IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION PROCESSES Milan BUFON Department of Geography, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana Aškerčeva 2, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The paper will briefly present some basic political geographical features of Slovenia, particularely for what regards its ‘border’ position from a geopolitical perspective. The most evident result of the most recent geopolitical transformations is represented by a general geopolitical re-orientation of the country towards north and west, a changing territorial affiliation and mediation role, which before 1991 appeared to be oriented from the Balkans towards Central and Western Europe, and has after that turned from Central and Western Europe towards the Balkans. The paper also aims to give an analysis of the various border and contact areas in Slovenia. Key words: Slovenia, geopolitical location and re-location, borders, cross border co-operation, European integration processes GEOPOLITIČNA LOKACIJA SLOVENIJE V PERSPEKTIVI EVROPSKIH INTEGRACIJSKIH PROCESOV Izvleček Članek obravnava nekaj temeljnih političnogeografskih značilnosti Slovenije, še zlasti njen »obmejni« položaj v geopolitičnem pogledu, probleme, ki izhajajo iz novejših geopolitič- nih transformacij, predvsem v zvezi z geopolitično re-lokacijo države v smeri severa in zahoda, spremenjene oblike prostorske povezanosti ter smeri posredovanja, ki so bile pred letom 1991 pretežno usmerjene od Balkana proti Srednji in Zahodni -

Wl^liii Number 4 December 1966 Volume 5 THE CASES OF THE "DIRTY DOZEN" - Harold Wasserman - Case 5: The Case of the "Star-Cross'd Lovers" For Case 5 we are taking a few poetic liberties with our title. If you recall your high school Shakespeare, perhaps you will recall the Prologue to "Romeo and Juliet", in which Shakespeare refers to "A pair of star-cross'd lovers" and ends it with "The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend". Case 5 will not bring up the mysteries of love potions; however, it most definitely will bring up a few mysteries surrounding a pair of stars and crosses on a famous set of sport stamps. I would imagine that almost all collectors of sports stamps are acquainted with the two sets of stamps which Uruguay issued in 1924 and 1928 to celebrate the soccer victories in the Olympic Games of those years. I wonder how many know that the second set (1928) was also issued for official use. Unfortunately, "Scott" has only this note at the end of Its listing of Uruguay officials: "Since 1928, instead of official stamps, Uruguay has used envelopes with "S.O." printed on them and stamps of many issued which are punched with various designs such as star or crescent". It is also unfortunate that many collectors probably do not possess a "Landmans" which il lustrates these punches. The first type is a five-pointed star. The second is commonly referred to as a Maltese cross, although technically it probably resembles a pattee cross more than a Maltese cross. -
Studying Integration of Port and Urban Functions in Port-City of Koper, Using Spatial Analysis Techniques and GIS Tools
Studying integration of port and urban functions in port-city of Koper, using spatial analysis techniques and GIS tools Klemen Prah (correspondent author), University of Maribor, Faculty of Logistics, [email protected] Tomaž Kramberger, University of Maribor, Faculty of Logistics, [email protected] Abstract Ports and cities interact across many dimensions, but still lacking more detailed insight, how do port-cities integrate port and urban functions. To contribute to this question we employed spatial analysis and sophisticated GIS tools and studied the integration of port and urban functions in the port-city of Koper in Slovenia. Firstly we defined urban and port functions in Koper and proceeded with certain exploratory techniques to calculate central features, to measure orientation, to map density, and to measure spatial autocorrelation for both types of functions. Significant emphasis was given on the geovisualization of the results. They show that urban and port functions in Koper are clustered, with highest density of urban functions on the area of old town, and highest density of port functions in newer area of central activities east of the old town. Both urban and port functions have east-northeast to west-southwest orientation. From spatially point of view is the integration of urban and port functions in port-city of Koper reflected through specific land use, namely through concentration and orientation of urban and port functions and intertwining between both. The study can be useful in planning of port evolution and urban redevelopment. Keywords: port functions, urban functions, port-city of Koper, geographic information systems, spatial analysis 1. -
CG(21)12 18 October 2011
The Congress of Local and Regional Authorities 21st SESSION CG(21)12 18 October 2011 Local and regional democracy in Slovenia Monitoring Committee Rapporteurs: Jos WIENEN, the Netherlands (L, EPP/CD1) and Merita JEGENI YILDIZ, Turkey (R, EPP/CD) Draft recommendation (for vote) ................................................................................................................2 Explanatory memorandum .........................................................................................................................5 Summary This report on the situation of local democracy in Slovenia follows upon a first monitoring visit conducted in 2001 and aims at assessing the action undertaken following the adoption of Recommendation 89(2001). The rapporteurs express satisfaction that local democracy in Slovenia complies with the provisions of the European Charter of Local Self-Government and provides options for citizen participation. The report takes note of the improvements as regards the distribution of shared state taxes, good practices concerning the integration of Roma minorities and the status of the capital city. It notes, however, that the consultation process between the local authorities and the central government has not improved, the fragmentation of municipalities remains an issue and the process of regionalisation is still blocked. This being said, a consensus between the political actors seems to have been reached on the necessity to set up regions in Slovenia. The Congress recommends that Slovenia increase the local -
The Political System of Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia Comparison Between 1990 and 2012
The Political System of Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia Comparison between 1990 and 2012 Ph.D. dissertation theses Author: Tibor Ördögh ELTE ÁJTK Politikatudományi Doktori Iskola Consultant: Tibor Navracsics dr. docent Budapest, 2014. I. The objectives and structure of the dissertation The aim of this PhD dissertation is to compare and contrast the political systems of Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia during their democratic operations. As a result, I did not analyze the disintegration of the former Republic of Yugoslavia which led to the Balkan Wars; neither did I examine the political judgments of the autocratic Serbian regime operating in the second half of the nineteen nineties. The basic hypothesis of this dissertation is that the three former Yugoslavian republics had very similar political institutions with similar structure and common sense during the era of democratization with minor, insignificant differences. This subject matter of this dissertation is significant for several reasons; firstly the field of comparative politics lacks such a scientific comparison of the above mentioned former Yugoslavian republics; secondly the above mentioned republics are subjects of the European integration process, and more and more attention is being paid to the implementation of the immersion. Since the Balkan crisis of the nineteen nineties there has not been any comparative research on this field neither in Hungary nor in the rest of Europe, which intended to introduce the science of political systems of these independent Balkan states. In addition to these this dissertation aims to compare the practical operation of the emerging institutions established in the above mentioned democratic regimes. In my opinion one should first understand the political changes and situations in the past two decades before trying to understand the present manifestation and circumstances of these states. -

Slovenian Democratic Path After European Union Accession
The Difficult Look Back: Slovenian Democratic Path after European Union Accession MIRO HAČEK Politics in Central Europe (ISSN: 1801-3422) Vol. 15, No. 3 DOI: 10.2478/pce-2019-0023 Abstract: In the third wave of democratic changes in the early 1990s when the Central and Eastern European (CEE) political landscape changed radically and the democrati‑ sation processes started in the eastern part of the continent, Slovenia was one of the most prominent countries with the best prospects for rapid democratic growth. Slove‑ nia somewhat luckily escaped the Yugoslav civil wars and towards the end of the 20th century was already on the path towards a stable and consolidated democracy with the most successful economy in the entire CEE area. After the dissolution of Yugoslavia, Slovenia had a simple and straight ‑forward political goals, i.e. to join the European union as soon as possible, thus consolidating its place among the most developed countries within the region. After some setbacks, this goal was accomplished in (so far) the biggest enlargement to the Union in May 2004. But what happened after Slovenia managed to successfully achieve its pair of major political goals? In this chapter, we search for an answer to this question and find out why Slovenian voters are increas‑ ingly distrustful not only of political institutions, but why so ‑called new political faces and instant political parties are so successful and why Slovenian democracy has lost a leading place among consolidated democracies in CEE. Keywords: Slovenia; European Union; membership; distrust; democracy. Introduction After declaring its independence from former Yugoslavia in 1991, the Republic of Slovenia expressed its willingness and objective, both in its strategic develop‑ ment documents and at the highest political levels, to become a full member of POLITICS IN CENTRAL EUROPE 15 (2019) 3 419 the European Union (EU).1 As the crucial developmental documents2 indicate, the optimum long ‑term development of the Slovenian economy is inextricably tied to Slovenia’s full membership in the EU. -
