About This Book
""Slovenia's Transition is the first comprehensive, accessible account of that country's transition from a minor republic in former Yugoslavia to an independent nation in the European Union. Richly detailed and clearly written, it provides a compelling account of the economic, political, and social challenges that confront the emerging democratic countries of Europe. It is a must-read for those interested in Slovenian politics as well as for students of European political integration."Cornell W. Clayton, editor of Political Research Quarterly" ""Slovenia's Transition is a first-rate analysis of Slovenia's economic development, from the earliest times to its acceptance to the European Union in 2004. The authors, Bogomil Ferfila and Paul Phillips, are acknowledged experts in the field and this book demonstrates the range and depth of their expertise.^
The book has a remarkably compact but impressive review of Slovenia's development in the Yugoslav Federation, but concentrates mainly on the problems of transition since independence. It has strong sections on labor relations, monetary policy, fiscal policy, and the political economy of the transition. It is an excellent piece of work and should be required reading for scholars of transitional economies."John Loxley, University of Manitoba" "Slovenia's Transition: From Medieval Roots to the European Union details and analyzes the history of Slovenia's transformation from a socialist, self-managed, political-economic system to that of a capitalist, democratically regulated, market system. The book reveals the economic development of Slovenia as it transformed. Bogomil Ferfila explores the transformation of institutions through the development of corporatism. He also delves into the political and economic integration of Slovenia with the European Union.^
The book evaluates the "gradualist" policy measures taken to transform the economy and the supporting economic transition of the post-Communist states. This successful transition led to Slovenia's accession to the European Union among the first tier of applicant countries, followed by its becoming the first of the new members to assume the presidency of the E.U. Through careful historical analysis, this book illustrates the incredible changes that have taken place in Slovenia through politics, finances, and international relations."--BOOK JACKET.
