The article analyzes the portrayal of the Kolpa as a border river in the leading Slovenian liberal newspaper Slovenski narod from 1868 to 1918. A border river is understood both in terms of the ...political concept of a border river and in terms of a natural border in a landscape. The differences between these two concepts can occur over long historical periods and can change significantly (e.g. due to floods, changes in the riverbed and the loss or acquisition of the status of a border river). In the period examined, the Kolpa formed an internal border between the Hungarian and Austrian parts of the Habsburg Monarchy. In addition, since the Late Middle Ages it has been a political border between Carniola and Croatia. The article analyzes the following aspects: a) the Kolpa as a border and a political concept, b) the management of the Kolpa (construction and maintenance of bridges, traffic bans, and restrictions), c) the Kolpa as a dangerous river, and d) border disputes.

The Political History Research Program Group has prepared three basic studies on the fight against AIDS in Slovenia (and Yugoslavia). The Economic and Social Program Group contributed a set of three ...examples of dealing with diseases in the Slovenian (and Yugoslav) historical space: the Spanish flu, malaria and occupational diseases. Placing AIDS in the context of these diseases has a strong comparative potential. Although the two sets have different perspectives - the authors use political history concepts in the AIDS section and the socio-historical and anthropological perspectives on other diseases - the same fundamental questions can be found in the background: How does society deal with diseases? What mechanisms does it use? When does the disease ignore and when does it engage? When is solidarity and when is discrimination? What role does science play? What about the state? What is her role?
The article is conceived as an atempt to provide a historical overview of the political history of AIDS fom the second half of the 1980s to the early 1990s. The contribution is based mainly on the ...references to the disease in the central Slovenian daily newspaper Delo. The archival materials of the National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ) on this issue, which have yet to be sorted, should also be highlighted as an important source. The presence of this issue in the parliamentary bodies has been analysed and contextualised using the Slovenian Parliamentary Corpus, which consists of digitised parliamentary materials and was prepared by the INZ Infastructure Programme in the context of the Slovenian Common Language Resources and Technology Infastructure (clarin.si). The most notable feature of the AIDS dynamic in the public sphere between 1987 and 1993 is the so-called “de-gayisation” of AIDS and the symbolic shif of the so-called “most-at-risk group” fom homosexuals to intravenous drug users.
The article deals with a public debate on the institute of Jezikovno razsodišče (Linguistic Tribunal) after the Cankarjev dom incident that occurred on 22 March 1982. The first public pan-Yugoslavian ...debate about the nature of the Slovenian nationalism in 1980s merged the problem with the use of the Slovenian language and that of the position of immigrants who had come to the Socialist Republic of Slovenia from other Yugoslavian republics into a dangerous blend of linguistic, cultural, economic and political disagreement.
The main purpose of this contribution is to describe and analyse the politics of memory in Slovenia in the most recent history regarding the events during World War II and immediately after it with ...the example of the design and erection of the Monument to the Victims of All Wars in Ljubljana. The article does not concern itself with the historical analysis of the post-war executions, but rather with their reception in the Slovenian public and politics. Furthermore, the purpose of this contribution is not to provide a normative evaluation of the events, processes, and historical actors, but rather a historical critique of the receptions of traumatic events in the Slovenian society in the second decade of the third millennium.
Pomen časopisa Slovenski narod (1868- 1943) za ustvarjanje slovenskega nacionalizma je nesporen. Slovenski narod je postal prvi trajni politični časopis s slovenskim predznakom, ki je le štiri leta ...po nastanku (kljub neugodnim političnim razmeram) postal tudi prvi slovenski dnevnik. Avtor obravnava jugoslovanstvo v Slovenskem narodu kot kategorijo prakse v obodbju 1868-1890. Da bi lažje razumeli kompleksnost in ambivalenco kategorije jugoslovanstva v časopisu Slovenski narod, smo preverili štiri oblike: jugoslovanstvo kot samooznačba, vloga Slovencev kot zidu jugoslovanstva, vloga Slovencev kot posredovalcev kulture južnim Slovanom ter razmerje ženske - jugoslovanstvo. Glavni namen je pokazati na dolgotrajno konstrukcijo (jugo)slovanstva kot dela slovenskega nacionalnega diskurza in na pomembno vlogo časopisa Slovenski narod v tem procesu. Jugoslovanstvo in slovanstvo v Slovenskem narodu sta bila v svojem bistvu slovenski nacionalizem, ki se je lahko v tej obliki simbolno prelival preko svojih meja.

Abstract
The author contextualizes the Final Award issued on 29 June 2017 by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague on the Slovenian-Croatian border dispute, a dispute which began in 1991 ...when the two Yugoslav republics became independent states. After joining the European Union in 2004, Slovenia began to use its membership to attempt to force its neighbour to agree to its terms. In November 2009 the two countries signed an Arbitration Agreement that temporarily solved the problem. The Final Award of the Court of Arbitration in The Hague of June 2017 has not been acknowledged by Croatia, though, on the ground of an audio surveillance scandal in 2015 that involved a Slovenian arbitrator. The Slovenian side has advocated the Final Award of the Tribunal as the only legal, internationally binding, and “European” solution to the border question, while the Croatian side continues to ignore the tribunal’s disposition.
