| Summary: | The difference in transitional development and success between Slovenia and other post-Yugoslav countries seems to suggest that the basic post-socialist ideology, which connects economic and social hardships to the remains of “Balkan mentality” and excessive state control over the economy, is in contradiction with the facts. Among these countries, Slovenia was the one that was the first to enter the European Union and that was economically and socially the most successful during the transition, while retaining state control over its banks, social infrastructure and part of industry.
On the other hand, the ongoing crisis has seriously endangered the state and the prospects of the Slovenian “success story.” With the recession entering into its fourth year, the question arises whether small peripheral European countries can recover within the existing political and economic frameworks, or whether perhaps the time for more radical alternatives has arrived. |
