  • Slovenia and the EU: the question of sovereignty
    Ferfila, Bogomil ; Phillips, Paul Arthur, 1938-2008
    ǂThe ǂannouncement of the pending admission of ten applicants to the European Union, including Slovenia, in 2004 - assuming all goes as planned - completes a rather interesting circle. Of course, ... Slovenian entry into the EU was considered the most probable of the CEEC nations if simply because the Slovenian economy and its market institutions were most easily adaptable to the western European model. However, Slovenia has proceeded for a number of years to introduce measures to tailor its legislation to confirm to EU standards - trade law, administrative law, constitutional law, competition law, the law on the protection of (monopoly) intellectual property - all those laws designed to integrate Slovenia into the European capitalist economy. However, there are other aspects of the economic performance that the Commission finds unacceptable. In fact, however, it has been the very policies that the Commission criticizes that allowed Slovenia to recover so quickly from the depression of the early 1990s and pursue its successful macroeconomic expansion without social discord, exploding income differentials, widespread unemployment and the economic collapse that bedevilled so many of the other transitional economies which implemented rapid and radical neoliberal "Washington consensus" policies espoused by the European Commission.
