  • Civilian control and military effectiveness [Elektronski vir] : Slovenian case
    Furlan, Branimir
    This article gives an overview of how civilian control of the military in Slovenia is implemented in practice. It utilizes the perspective of the controlled entity itself, that is, the Slovenian ... Armed Forces. The findings show the type and characteristics of civilian control in Slovenia and how theyhinder military effectiveness. As one of the European transition countriesto have concluded the democratization of its civil-military relations, civilian control over Slovenia's Armed Forces is now in place; however, the control mechanisms have had several debilitating effects on the country's armed forces-the democratization of civil-military relations has been achieved at the partial expense of military effectiveness. Because of this experience, the Slovenian case could serve as an example of how successful democratization of civil-military relations can sometimes produce negative outcomes, or collateral damage, for the military, especially when theemployers of the control mechanisms are not aware of the effects that the exercise of their control might have on the military's ability to execute coremissions. Methodologically, this article brings an approach for analyzing interrelations between civilian control and military effectiveness.
