The initial report on the implementation of the provisions of the..convention was sent to the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women in 1993. The Committee discussed the report at its 16th session (13-31 January 1997). This is the Second Report on the Implementation of the Provisions of the Convention, which the Republic of Slovenia in accordance with article 18 of the convention is submitting for discussion by the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. In preparing this report, the Republic of Slovenia took account of the initial report on the measures adopted to eliminate discrimination against women in the Republic of Slovenia, the report of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women on the consideration of the initial report, the general guidelines with regard to the form and content of reports by the state parties and the guidelines for the preparation of second and subsequent reports, including those adopted by the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women at its 16th session in 1997. The chapter from the "Human rights reporting under six major international human rights instruments" publication prepared by Zagorka Hie and Ivanka Corti for the purposes of reporting under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women was a useful guide in preparing analytical evaluation of the status of women in the Republic of Slovenia. This report contains available information and statistical data which were not presented in the initial report and focuses on changes which have occurred in the period from the initial report until this report was prepared. CEDAW/C/SVN/2 English PART I. GENERAL INFORMATION Page 7 (a) Actual, general, social, economic, political and legal framework within which Slovenia approaches the elimination of discrimination against women in all its forms, as defined in the Convention 1. Population 1.1. General information In December 1996 Slovenia had a population of 1,986,989, of which 968,634 (48.6%) were men and 1,018,355 (51.4%) were women. Slovenia's population therefore comprises more women than men. Projections for changes in the permanent population of Slovenia for five- year periods from 1995 to 2020 show that there will also be more women than men in the next millennium. The highest number of women is expected to be in 2000, when the figure is projected to reach 1,034,335, exceeding the number of men by 57,157. As ih the period covered by Slovenia's first report, data on the age groups of the population confirms that the intensive process of the ageing of the population has continued. The average age of the population was 37.6 at the end of 1996: 0.3 years more than in 1995. The reason for the increasingly low number of younger generations is, first and foremost, a reduction in the birth rate. The proportion of the population of working age (15-64) has increased somewhat, chiefly because of the higher number of foreign citizens, where as many as 71.6% are aged between 20 and 49. 1.2. Rural/urban population According to the 1991 census, 972,937 people live in rural areas: 49.5% of the total population. More than half of them are women. 1.3. Ethnic groups In accordance with the principles laid down in the Slovene Constitution on the equality of ethnic groups and the right of individuals to express their ethnic determination freely, and according to data based on people's personal declarations, Italians, Hungarians, Roms, Albanians, Montenegrins, Croats, Macedonians, Muslims, Serbs, and nationally non- determined persons live in Slovenia, in addition to Slovenes. 1.4. Official languages There are three official languages in Slovenia. Slovene is the language used across the entire country, while Italian and Hungarian are two official languages used in the nationally mixed areas of Slovenia. CBDAW/C/SVN/2 English Page 8 1.5. Natural population movements After 1992 the highest difference between live and stillborn babies was recorded in 1996 (168). The growth rate of the population was 0.1. In 1996, 18,893 babies were born in Slovenia; 105 of these were stillborn. The number of deaths of babies is falling year on year. The low mortality rate of babies and new-boms places Slovenia among those European countries with the lowest levels of mortality of children up to one month old.

THE POLITICIZATION OF ETHNICITY AS A PRELUDE TO ETHNOPOLITICAL CONFLICT: CROATIA AND SERBIA IN FORMER YUGOSLAVIA Agneza Bozic-Roberson, Ph.D. Western Michigan University, 2001 This interdisciplinary research develops a framework or a model for the study of the politicization of ethnicity, a process that transforms peaceful ethnic conflict into violent inter-ethnic conflict. The hypothesis investigated in this study is that the ethnopolitical conflict that led to the break up of former Yugoslavia was the result of deliberate politicization of ethnicity.

At the same time, a growing appreciation of regional issues has raised interest in regional differences in each of these countries. This volume of the “Portrait of the Regions” series responds to this need and follows on in a tradition which has seen four volumes devoted to the current Member States, a fifth to Hungary, a sixth volume dedicated to the Czech Republic and Poland, a seventh to the Slovak Republic and the most recent volume covering the Baltic States, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Examining the 12 statistical regions of Slovenia, this ninth volume in the series has an almost identical structure to Volume 8, itself very similar to earlier publications.

  • Pogoji Za Nastanek Politične Satire – Politična Satira V Prvem Slovenskem Humorističnem Listu
    UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Vladimir Bizovičar Pogoji za nastanek politične satire Politična satira v prvem slovenskem humorističnem listu Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2016 UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI FAKULTETA ZA DRUŽBENE VEDE Vladimir Bizovičar Mentor: izr. prof. dr. Marko Milosavljević Pogoji za nastanek politične satire Politična satira v prvem slovenskem humorističnem listu Diplomsko delo Ljubljana, 2016 Pogoji za nastanek politične satire – Politična satira v prvem slovenskem humorističnem listu Politična satira je v literaturi prisotna najmanj od časov atenske demokracije. Tudi v slovenski literaturi ji lahko sledimo pri nekaterih pomembnejših literatih. V področje novinarstva in periodičnega tiska pa je politična satira pri nas vstopila s prvim satiričnim listom “Brencelj v lažnjivi preobleki” leta 1869. Od propada “Brenclja v lažnjivi preobleki” je bilo politične satire v specializiranih medijih pri nas razmeroma malo. Da lahko ugotovimo razloge za to, pa je potrebno preučiti pogoje, v katerih se sploh lahko prične. Poskušali smo identificirati pogoje, pri katerih se lahko pri nas pojavi politična satira v množičnih medijih. Po analizi zgodovinskih razmer, v katerih je izhajal Brencelj, smo lahko identificirali predvsem kombinacijo izoblikovanega kulturnega sloja naslovnikov, obstoja periodičnega in neperiodičnega tiska, ki zagotavlja kanale komuniciranja, določene stopnje svobode izražanja in konstituirane politične javnosti. Ključne besede: pogoji za nastanek politične satire, Brencelj, svoboda izražanja, množični mediji, politična satira Conditions for the Emergence of Political Satire – Political Satire in the First Slovenian Humoristic Journal Political satire has been present in literature at least since the times of Athenian democracy. There are also traces of it in Slovenian literature in some of the more important Slovenian writers. However, the political satire was introduced in the field of journalism and periodicals in 1869, when the first satire journal “Brencelj v lažnjivi preobleki” was published.

  • The Role of Media in Democratic Consolidation of Taiwan and Slovenia
    Asian and African Studies XVI, 2 (2012), pp. 67–77 UDK: 32.019.5:(529)+(497.4) COPYRIGHT ©: SAŠA ISTENIČ The Role of Media in Democratic Consolidation of Taiwan and Slovenia Saša ISTENIČ Abstract The importance of the media in democracies has long been recognized. The media has often been seen as a preliminary mechanism of democratization process. Over the past 20 years, both Taiwan and Slovenia have been undergoing profound political changes, transforming from authoritarianism to democracy. This research will be a modest attempt to portray the significant role that media has played in the two countries’ democratization processes and draw some interesting parallels between them. Keywords: media, democratization, press freedom, Slovenia, Taiwan Izvleček Pomembnost medijev v demokracijah je že dolgo priznana. Mediji so pogosto videni kot predhoden mehanizem procesa demokratizacije. V zadnjih dvajsetih letih sta tako Tajvan kot Slovenija prestali temeljite politične spremembe in prešli iz avtoritativnega režima k demokraciji.

    1 Representations of the Nation and of the Other in the Slovenian Periodical Press Before and After 1991: Engagements and Implications Taja Kramberger, Sabina Mihelj, Drago B. Rotar Defining ‘Quality Press’ In debates on the role of public media that have proliferated throughout Europe after the rise of commercial media in the 1980s and (in former communist countries) in the 1990s, the claims to ‘quality’ were a common argument in support of the state-sponsored media, usually labelled as ‘public’. However, as various authors have noted, the exact definition of quality was lacking and the notion of ‘quality’ itself was often used to refer to a variety of meanings, even conflicting ones, and was thus open to manipulation (cf. Keane 1992: 112; Bašić-Hrvatin 2002: 16). Arguably, the definition of ‘quality’ suggested in the general outline of the project on the quality press in Southeast Europe is similarly open to manipulation. The notion of ‘quality press’ is not explicitly defined, but seems to refer to those periodical print media which provide a platform for ‘important public debates on the key issues of the societies in Southeast Europe’. Such a notion could hardly be used as an analytical concept. As this paper aims to demonstrate, the chief problem of publications that initiated ‘important public debates on the key issues’ in Slovenia in the recent past was not necessarily their relatively low circulation and commercial pressure of high-circulation periodicals. Despite their relatively low circulation, some periodicals managed to provoke debates that were featured on the front pages of periodicals with the highest circulation, or got addressed in prime-time TV and radio newscasts.
