Abstract: | I welcome this book as a particular proof of vitality of Slovenia's political and economic arrangements which enable the country to successfully take part in the development of the European Union. The comprehensive assessment of the past development of the European Union. The comprehensive assessment of the past development of Slovenia, the comparative nature of the study and the wide variety of the subjects analysed(social,gender,enviromental,religious etc.)which goes beyond pure analysis of the political system,give a fascinating overview of the Slovenian institutional "laboratory" as the authors call it.in this sense, I am convinced that the book will find the interest of both policy makers and political scientists not just in Slovenia but also across Europe. There is always something new moto learn and there is plenty of it in this book. |
