RAZVOJ SLOVENSKE DRŽAVNE BLAGINJE V EVROPSKI PERSPEKTIVI
DEVELOPMENT OF THE SLOVENIAN NATIONAL PROSPERITY IN THE EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE

Summary/Abstract: Over the last decades, the European concepts of welfare and related social policy have repeatedly been subjected to a critique of being over-lax and of needing expenditure cuts. Social policy under socialism has also been considered extensively. In her paper, the author claims that the welfare regimes under socialism shared the tradition of the corporatist welfare state in both timing and insertion. She re-considers this well-accepted thesis in a contextual framework where class coalitions are a major cornerstone. Slovenia and some other countries which share the legacy of late industrialization with the strong impact of the Catholic Church, and also the Communist rule, are taken into account to test this thesis.
