ABSTRACT:
The author argues that successful stability in modern Slovenia was facilitated by a number of factors, which were being formed, when it was a part of the Social Federal Republic of Yugoslavia – highly developed industry and living standards, ethnically homogeneous population, sophisticated traditions of corporatism etc. Quite significant connector for Slovenia became the process of joining the EU. Euro-integration facilitated modernization of social, cultural and economic spheres. Global financial-economic crisis revealed all problems in the state’s economy and the government had to start gradual reduction of a large number of social benefits for population. Current government wishing to regain the trust of population is trying to change the situation for the better, what is indicative of political stability. Owing to the EU assistance the country recovered the GDP, index of economic activity. Thus, it will considerably influence further development of Slovenia as a social state.
