内容説明
For more than 1,300 years Slovenes had lived in Eastern Europe without having a separate Slovene state, but in December of 1990, they voted for independence, or, put more appropriately, for "disassociation" from Yugoslavia. Unfortunately, Slovenia had to fight for its independence, which it did not fully achieve until 1995 after its bloody disintegration with Yugoslavia was over. Since independence, however, Slovenia has prospered; its economy is far ahead of other former communist states and in 2004 Slovenia acceded to both NATO and the European Union, the only republic of former Yugoslavia to do so. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Slovenia covers the history of Slovenia and its struggle to gain independence from communism. This is done through a detailed chronology, an introduction, appendixes, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on some of the more significant persons, places, and events; institutions and organizations; and political, economic, social, cultural, and religious facets.
Book Description
Slovenia is a newly independent European state, which until 1991 was a constituent republic of Yugoslavia. Since the collapse of communism and the disintegration of Yugoslavia, Slovenia has established a parliamentary democracy and is building a market economy. "The Historical Dictionary of Slovenia" is a valuable reference work for students, scholars, researchers, and those interested in its economy, politics, and culture. While introducing scholars and researchers to the rich history and culture of the Slovenes, its bibliographies and entries on education, geography, towns and cities, and economic development focus on historical aspects often glossed over in broader works on Yugoslavia. Important Slovenes and events of the last decade are highlighted and discussed extensively. Includes a brief survey of Slovene history, an extensive bibliography, and six maps.
