After four years of democracy: fragility and stability : lessons from an accelerated evolution of the political system

Summary/Abstract: The author proceeds from the (hypo)thesis that is easier to reach a stable political system as a framework of accelerated societal self-regulation within an inclusive and consensual model rather than through majoritarian-competitive policy making. In order to discern the capabilities of Slovenian politics and society in general, to generate a consensual basis for decision-making, he devotes special attention to those tendencies and trends which are directed towards (semi)consociative democracy and the neocorporatist arrangement considered as a part of political crisis management. The analysis reveals ambivalent and fluid configurations, and therefore it is not alltogether clear whether these tendencies and trends are short time experiments or more lasting structures.
