The article attempts to characterize the socio-cultural specificity of Slovenia. Attention has been drawn to the coexistence of selected elements that apparently influence the shape of the contemporary identity of the inhabitants of this small country, such as the Habsburg and Yugoslavian legacy or successes in the process of European integration. Separate reflection has been devoted to reasons of a lack of interest in Slovenia among Poles despite relatively close geographical distance between the two countries. The results of research on Poles' attitude to Slovenians have also been analyzed and the emergent picture is complemented by results of a mini-survey on the image of Slovenia among university students.

Family farm succession is a complex process in which the farm family plans the transfer of knowledge, labour, skills, management and ownership of the farm business from the parental to the next generation. By developing a multi-attribute decision model, 40 family farms from the Mediterranean region of Slovenia were evaluated regarding their succession status in order to relate two issues: family farm succession and multi-attribute decision modelling. The multi-attribute decision model was developed by using the DEX method, an expert system shell for multi-attribute decision modelling and support. The family farms’ data, applied to the model, is a part of the study where the standardized questionnaire was used. The results show that the majority of farms have good possibilities for a “smooth” succession process and future survival.

Awareness of emotions, extensive emotional knowledge, and effective emotional management are characteristics of emotionally intelligent individuals. These competencies are expected to enable individuals using more adaptive decision-making styles (DMSs). Specifically, we predicted that trait emotional intelligence (EI) should be a positive predictor of intuitive and rational DMSs and a negative predictor of dependent, avoidant, and spontaneous DMSs, even after controlling for personality. Participants (N = 454) completed Slovene version of the Emotional Skills and Competence Questionnaire, the Decision-Making Styles Questionnaire, and the Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire. Results supported the importance of trait EI on predicting DMSs: after controlling for personality, the trait EI accounted for 1 to 13% of the variance of the DMSs. Higher trait EI was associated with a more frequent use of intuitive, rational, and a less frequent use of dependent and avoidant DMSs. Results are in accordance with the assertion about the positive function of EI.

The Czech section of the Slovene Alpine Club was founded in Prague in 1897. It was a socially exclusive organisation with approximately 600 members. The section's activities spread from the Savinja Alps in the East (around the city of Jezersko) to the Julian Alps in the West (around Kranjska Gora). The organization built two chalets and a number of mountain-tracks, popularized the Slovene Alps in the Bohemian Kingdom, its members explored especially the Julian Alps and published their discoveries in the section's Alpine Bulletin (Alpsky vestnik), other serials as well as in books. They also contributed to a better knowledge of the Slovene culture among the Czech society by organizing numerous cultural events and lectures in which they presented the works of Slovene artists and familiarized their audience with the character of the Slovene countryside. The Czech section was abolished after World War I. New borders were drawn between Czechoslovakia and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, making the Slovene Alps harder to reach, while the High Tatras in Slovakia became more accessible.

In the article, we model education and human capital as major endogenous growth elements in a small open economy general equilibrium framework and consider several policy scenarios for Slovenia. Decrease of the personal income tax rate and increase of government spending on education turned out to be the most effective policy measures. It is important, though, to understand its transitory dynamic. Namely, as education expenditure is increased, certain amount of labour is temporarily withdrawn from its productive use and put into the educational system. Higher skill upgrade of labour requires longer and higher short-term labour force decrease, but also provides us with higher long-term growth. The households that would gain more utility from such policy scenarios are those with more skilled labour and thus higher income level.

Slovenia's economic transformation is usually considered successful. It deviated from the theoretical patterns: its general approach to the reforms was rather conservative and was inclined to the tolerate inflation. The decisive period was between 1991 and 1994 when the government implemented the crucial reforms creating the favourable conditions for inflation to decrease and, at the same time, turn the economy toward sustained growth.

The paper presents labour market developments and labour market reforms in Slovenia in 1996 - 2006. Slovenia recorded rather favourable labour market developments. However, some problems still persist. The adopted labour market reforms were not radical and some of them were adopted rather late. Several indicators of labour market flexibility show rather rigid labour market. Due to high employment protection the share of temporary employment in total employment is big. The weak response of employment and wages to stronger economic activity indicates the rigidity of labour market. Therefore, the search for flexicurity model is a challenge for Slovenia. The authoresses stress several obstacles for adoption of Danish flexicurity model in Slovenia and estimate the Slovenian approach towards flexicurity.

The paper presents medium-term fiscal challenges faced by the Republic of Slovenia upon its accession to the European Union. At the beginning, two methodological issues are discussed. First, the difference between the calculated and actual net transfers between the EU budget and national budgets of the EU member states. Second, typology of fiscal effects the EU funds have on a member state's national budget, both on its overall level and on its expenditure structure. The following two parts of the paper provide quantification and an analysis of effects the EU membership is expected to have on Slovenia's public finances in early post-EU accession years, i.e. in the 2004 - 2006 period, and in the period of the next medium-term financial perspective of the EU, covering the period between the years 2007 and 2013.

The article addresses the issue of interethnic violence among primary and secondary school pupils in Slovenia that was explored by the combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods.The complex issue of interethnic violence is analysed through two key questions. First, authors draw attention to the question of attitude of pupils towards other ethnic groups. This issue is analysed through lens of support of normative statements, through expressed stereotypes and prejudices about people of other ethnic groups and through analysis of hierarchic position of non-Slovenian ethnic groups. The second research question highlights the prevalence of different types of interethnic violence among primary and secondary school pupils. Intersectional approach was used in order to show the interplay of several factors influencing peer violence. Though findings show that interethnic violence is not recognised as a burning issue, research data reveal considerable differences in the prevalence of interethnic violence according to ethnicity, age, gender and socioeconomic position. Pupils of mixed or non-Slovenian ethnic background, younger pupils, boys and pupils that come from families with lower socioeconomic status experience interethnic violence more often. Among types of interethnic violence psychological violence such as teasing/name calling/insulting and talking behind backs prevail, while physical violence is rare.

The article presents the rise of Slovenian nationalism as an ideology founded and spread by the Slovenian national movement. As an opening remark the authoress stresses that nationalism is a modern phenomenon. She also introduces the division between ethnic nation (Kulturnation, narod) and political nation (Staatsnation, nacjia). The Slovenes first defined themselves as an ethnic nation but having gained their own nation-state in 1991, nowadays, they are free to redefine their nation in civic terms. The dynamics of Slovenian nation-building unfolded in agreement with the Czech historian Miroslav Hroch's scheme. It shows that ethnic nation states start as an idea of a handful of intellectuals, before the national message is taken up and spreads among the members of the postulated nation. Then the nation has commenced its existence indeed. Although the term 'Slovenia' is known since the 16th century, intellectuals have used it consistently for denoting the Slovenian nation only after 1848. Still the Carniolan identity persisted. The 1840 national program demanded the administrative unification of the lands inhabited by Slovenes, Slovenian as a medium of education, and it opposed the construction of a German nation-state that would include the Austrian Empire along with Slovenia. Like the Czechs of Bohemia, the Slovenes did not crave for independence but Vienna's protection. In the second half of the 19th century the mass Slovenian national movement grew frustrated by the progress of German nationalism and the continuing division of the Slovenian lands between Austria, Hungary, and Italy. Only during World War I the idea of independence gained popularity but was not actualized due to the inclusion of the Slovenes in Yugoslavia. It appeared a backward and heavily centralized state that thwarted the national goals of the Slovenes despite the administrative unification of almost all their lands. Another World War split Slovenia among Germany, Hungary and Italy so communist Yugoslavia appeared the only way to ensure national survival. Federalization of this state with a national republic for the Slovenes too, did not ensure economic stability. This bred discontent in Slovenia - Yugoslavia's richest region - and spawned systemic-cum-nationalist opposition during the 1960s and 1970s. After Tito's death (1980), in the next decade Slovenian politicians and intellectuals openly advocated independence. The establishment of the independent Slovenian nation-state finally fulfilled the program of Slovenian nationalism as well as commenced the breakup of Yugoslavia.

Following the institutional part of the economic transition and the legal/political involvement in European integration process, the Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC) must promote their innovation capacity and competitiveness through innovative processes and products to attain the real transition. This article analyses fiscal measures with the intention to disclose tax incentives design of three CEEC being or not being EU Member States - Slovenia, Slovakia and Belarus. The authors research whether three small open transitional economies pay enough attention to enhancing innovation by tax measures. The results of comparative analyses have shown that three CEEC have chosen different approaches and models to improve the tax treatment of Research, Development and Innovation (RDI). The differences are essential.

The article presents the circumstances of the fieldwork phase of the European Social Survey (ESS) round 10 in Slovenia, which took place during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021. The article presents the dynamics of the epidemic in Slovenia and the necessary measures to conduct the survey. Two primary objectives were pursued: data quality assurance despite the aggravated circumstances, and ensuring the safety of respondents and interviewers from possible risk of contact. The first was ensured by using all available tools and approaches as under normal pre-pandemic circumstances; while for the second we introduced a series of measures that went beyond the national safety measures. The ensuring of risk-free contact and additional motivational training among interviewers also played an influence on the first objective (the quality of the data); namely, no significant hesitation or fear of possible infection was perceived among the respondents during the fieldwork. One of the critical points that prevailed in the decision to start the fieldwork in early autumn 2020 was having at least two months of pleasant weather conditions, which allows a significant part of interviews to be conducted outdoor, which would significantly reduce the possibility of risky contacts between the interviewer and the respondent. The sharp deterioration of events with the outbreak of the second wave dictated that the survey had to be conducted in two batches. This posed some new implementation requirements for researchers. The results of the sample realisation of two fieldwork intervals and the outcome of the ESS in Slovenia – the first among ESS countries that successfully completed the fieldwork round 10 (ESS 2020) – are also presented.

Narratives can create borders, discrimination and exclusion, but also connections, links and friendships. Towns along the Slovenian-Croatian border are interconnected in historical, social and economic terms, which have enabled connections of people on both sides of the border. With the analysis of stories, jokes and anecdotes collected mainly on the Slovenian side of the Slovenian-Croatian border area along the upper stream of the Sotla River it can be seen how boundaries and borders are created and formed through the narrative tradition of the area. The stories collected on both sides of the border are, on the one hand, connecting people and breaking down national borders, and on the other hand, deepening divides and intensifying the boundaries. At the same time, these connections and contacts are erasing raillery, confrontation and rivalry which can be seen in quips/jeers, singing slurs, deprecatory rhymes, jokes, humorous stories and legends collected in the Slovenian-Croatian border area.

There are a number of projects for the provision of full-text digital collections in Slovenia, although the state of implementation varies from project to project. The availability of Slovene digital resources is lagging behind the availability of foreign collections. The article briefly summarises the resources that are already accessible. Some of the most important examples are COBISS, the Co-operative Online Bibliographic System & Services; SICRIS, the database on Slovenian research; the Slovenian EU database; the databases of the Chamber of Economy; the co-operative database package of several libraries with a national scope as well as various database initiatives of public libraries, publishers and journal editors. The BESEDA database of Slovene literature and literary sciences is hosted in Stockholm, Sweden.

The open method of coordination (OMC) holds great potential to improve various (qualitative and quantitative) aspects of education policies in EU member states. Due to its soft/non-obligatory way of influencing policy, it is particularly interesting to investigate to what extent its potential is actually put to good use in member states and which factors determine whether member states actually achieve the Lisbon Strategy’s goals. Bearing in mind the lack of empirical evidence for the OMC’s influence on national education policies, and considering the theoretical assumptions of soft modes of governance, Europeanisation processes and policy learning, this article identifies the potential of the OMC, and analyses its (possible) impact on education policy in Slovenia. Here, the article limits itself to the lifelong learning policy and seeks to discover the extent to which the OMC’s potential in this regard is taken advantage of in Slovenia. The article concludes that, although relatively good results are visible in National/EU Progress Reports, its full potential has not been exploited. The authors explain that good quantitative goals are achievable for member states even without respecting the qualitative goals related to good governance. In order to make use of all of the potential, more knowledge about the OMC in Slovenia would be required.

The Rokeach Value Survey (RVS) has been thoroughly explored in the context of personality, behavior, social structure and both national and cross-cultural studies. However, different studies are not congruent in the interpretation of its inner structure. The current study examines the similarities and differences in value hierarchies and value structures between comparable groups of Japanese and Slovenian students using RVS. The results indicate a general similarity between the value systems and a similar underlying structure of values in all of the groups explored. Similarities with other value studies again prove convergences in research of value structures. Despite some conceptual difficulties and methodological dilemmas, RVS still shows relevance for value research, especially in the clear division of values into values as standards of behavior (instrumental values) and values as transcendental goals or ideals (terminal values). According to the results of the current study, standards are more culturally variable than goals or ideals.

In article the authoress tries to illustrate three socialist metaphors for various attitudes towards state centre as Deema Kaneff articulated three various socialist constructions of the past - history, folklore and tradition. Presented case study is based on seasonal holidays, which inhabitants of smaller Slovenian town Brezice have celebrated in the first decades after the Second World War. Mostly by comparing St. Roch's feast and Carnival celebrations the authoress compares pre- and post-war organization and performances at the holidays, their scenarios and their meanings for various groups of people. After the World War II the feast of St. Roch became restricted to private domains or to places owned by the churches and performed only by the alternative groups of people. In the early years of socialism Carnival was also considered as a tradition. But since its celebrations were mostly public and massive the tradition had to be transformed into folklore. Traditionality and folklorization of holidays are considered in the article and at the end of the text they are interpreted from the point of folklorism, heritage and legitimacy of tradition.

This empirical paper delivers new insights to understanding the linkages between importing and skill upgrading, and importing and exporting. The propensity score matching analysis uses employer-employee panel dataset for Slovenian manufacturing firms. The results show that firms with a better skill structure start importing and later also sustain a higher skill share, compared to non-importing firms. Meanwhile, firms’ skill structure deteriorates after firms stop importing. The study also highlights the importance of importing, serving as a prerequisite before the start of exporting through importing intermediate goods and/or technology, and exposing a different function of intermediate and capital goods in the production process.

This paper presents empirical findings concerning the motivational structure of 415 elementary school students. The motivational structure, as conceived in the Integrative Model of Academic Motivation (Juriševič, 2006), comprises three constructs: motivational components, motivational orientations, and motivational patterns. For the purpose of the study, 415 students from Slovenian elementary schools answered the Questionnaire on Academic Motivation. On the basis of multivariate analysis, 21 academic motivation components were identified, which were integrated into three latent motivation orientations: helplessness and avoidance, external motivational orientation, and intrinsic motivational orientation. In terms of the combinations of their academic motivational orientations, the students were further classified into specific groups representing homogeneous motivational patterns to learn in school. The results justify the suitability of the research model and point to the possibilities of further development. They show that only when taking into account the concrete learning and wider social context in the interaction with students’ individual characteristics can we correctly establish what kind of specific combinations of latent motivational orientations combine into motivational patterns with a homogeneous structure for each individual student. In turn, these motivational patterns influence learning through students’ learning behaviour and thus indirectly contribute to their academic achievements.
