  • General Election in Slovenia
    GENERAL ELECTIONS IN SLOVENIA 4th December 2011 European Elections monitor The Rightwing Opposition Forces forecast to win in the Slovenian General Elections on from Corinne Deloy translated by Helen Levy 4th December next. ANALYSIS On 4th December next Slovenia will be holding the first early general elections in its history. 1 month before This election follows parliament’s rejection on 20th September last of the confidence motion the poll presented by Borut Pahor’s government (Social Democratic Party, SD). 51 MPs of the Demo- cratic Party (SDS), the People’s Party (SLS), the Slovenian National Party (SNS), Zares (Z) and of the Democratic Pensioners’ Party (DeSUS) voted against the text, 36 members of the Social Democratic Party and of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDS) as well as three independent MPs voted in support. The Slovenian Parliament was dissolved on 21st October. Borut Pahor is the third Slovenian head of government to fall after Alojz Peterle (Slovenian Christian-Democrats) in 1992 and Janez Drnovsek (LDS) in 2000. After the announcement of the government’s collapse, President of the Republic, Danilo Türk left New York where he was attending the UN’s General Assembly to return to Ljubljana. “The vote of defiance has worsened the political crisis,” he declared, calling on all political parties to show courage rapidly in order to find solutions to the crisis in the interest of the Slovenian people. “The vote of defiance is good news because it will lead to a new government that will have wider public support, which is vital if the necessary decisions are to be taken,” declared Janez Sustarsic, professor at the Faculty of Management in Koper.

  • 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.

IN THE STRANGLEHOLD OF POPULISM: SLOVENIA In many respects, the Slovenian parliamentary elections of June 2018 followed a different trajectory than the election results of the neighbouring countries in Central and Southern Europe. In Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia, rightwing populist forces gained power, and the public mood in these countries shifted visibly to the right. At first glance, it appears that Slovenian domestic politics did not succumb to the populist climate that prevails in the southern and eastern segments of the European Union. The domestic political landscape remained unchanged: similarly to the election results seen over the past decades, the votes cast were distributed between the right and left at a ratio of 40-60, respectively, while voter turnout (51%) declined.

  • The Case of Four New Successful Parties in Slovenia
    158 POLITOLOGICKÝ ČASOPIS / CZECH JOURNAL OF POLITICAL SCIENCE 2/2017 A Hint at Entrepreneurial Parties? The Case of Four New Successful Parties in Slovenia ALENKA KRAšOVEC* Abstract Since the 2011 elections several new Slovenian parties have recorded exceptional results and two newcomers even received a plurality vote in the 2011 and 2014 elections. Some scholars believe that, along with the successful new parties, a new party model has also developed. Therefore, we employed several key dimensions to find out whether four Slovenian new successful parties (List of Zoran Janković – Positive Slovenia, Citizen List of Gregor Virant – Citizen List, Party of Miro Cerar – Party of Modern Centre, and Alliance of Alenka Bratušek – Alliance of Social-Liberal Democrats) have exhibited elements of entrepreneurial parties. Analysis of several dimensions (party origin, resources in election campaign, party organisation and electoral appeals) reveals many similarities among the four parties but also that they can be classified as entrepreneurial parties (mainly when the minimal conceptualisation of this party model is used) only in some fragments and with some important reservations. Key words: political party; entrepreneurial party; new party; electoral success; Slovenia DOI: 10.5817/PC2017-2-158 1. Introduction In the last two elections in Slovenia, several new political parties recorded very good, even exceptional, electoral results. According to several scholars (e.g. Harmel, Robertson 1985; Lucardie 2000; Krouwel, Lucardie 2008; Bolleyer 2013), the success of new parties is in- fluenced by many determinants. We shall briefly present the most important ones in the Slovenian case, but above all the article will deal with the question of whether successful newcomers exhibit some common characteristics, particularly those typical of the entrepre- neurial party model.

    DÉLKELET EURÓPA – SOUTH -EAST EUROPE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS QUARTERLY, Vol. 3. No. 4. (Winter 2012/4 Tél) Slovenian Presidential Elections 2012 IGOR ČASAR* (Abstract ) During the 2012 presidential race, Slovenia was politically more divided than ever, people had lost faith in the political institutions, which lead to demonstrations and a tense socio-political atmosphere. Milan Zver, Member of the European Parliament, Danilo Türk, the incumbent president, and Borut Pahor, the former PM, the three main presidential candidates, set out to win over the voters. The international press´ coverage of the elections and the outcome was unpretentious because they were more focussed on the on- going anti-austerity demonstrations. Keywords : Slovenia, elections, Danilo Türk, Milan Zver, Borut Pahor, International Press. * Introduction For the fifth time, approximately 1.7 million Slovenes went to the polls on 11th November 2012, because neither of the candidates received the majority of the votes, the name of the new president was decided with a run-off election, on 2nd December 2012. In Slovenia, the presidential elections are held every five years, with the president given a rather ceremonial role. Early on It became clear at the early stage of this election that it would to be a three-horse race for the president´s post between the incumbent president Danilo Türk ,1 independent candidate with support of the main opposition party, the centre-left Positive Slovenia; former PM Borut Pahor ,2 with the backing of the Social Democrats; and Member of the European parliament Milan Zver ,3 with the backing of the centre-right Slovenian Democratic Party.
