Opis: This article examines the relationship between constitutional pluralism and authoritarianism. It does so since the Weiss decision of the FCC spurred unusual attacks on constitutional pluralism. This particular theoretical vision of European integration has been described as inherently dangerous and its abandonment has been called for out of chiefly instrumentalist reasons, in order to prevent constitutional pluralism turning into an autocrats’ refuge. The article argues this critique of constitutional pluralism does not succeed. Due to its truncated, exclusively positivist understanding of constitutional pluralism, it has failed to take into account pluralism’s normative core. The latter presents itself an antipode to authoritarianism, which means that the autocratic regimes simply cannot credibly avail themselves of the theory of constitutional pluralism to justify their authoritarian actions.

Opis: Executive Summary • Despite many achievements since independence across social, political, economic and constitutional domains, which are unobjectionable, equally many constitutional and political objectives still need to be met. • Slovenia is unique with its specific model of state-owned capitalism, monopolized by the postcommunist left, that has resulted in the absence of economic pluralism, which consequently stands in the way of all other forms of social pluralism, including the existence of a vibrant pluralist civil society and professional pluralist media. • The relatively small size of the country and the increasing weakness of the state’s formal institutional infrastructure (especially regarding the judiciary) and the growing passivity of the electorate, have enabled strong factional groups to create a parallel infrastructure of decisionmaking, which uses the formal institutions of the state as an instrument for their on-going economic self-enrichment and further entrenchment of their de facto political power. • The dynamics of politics in Slovenia is thus opposite to that in the currently backsliding CEE countries. Rather than seeking a profound change in the society, the political agenda of the contemporary ‘Slovenian new class’ (i.e. the informal power structure undergirding the postcommunist left) is the preservation of the status quo by all means. Whenever this status quo is at least potentially challenged, bitter political and social conflicts, as at present, erupt. • Under the radar of international attention, the specific Slovenian transition has resulted in an institutionally undernourished rule of law system and democratic governance, marked by an implosion of the political space, incessant populism and growing political radicalization in favour of illiberal democracy. The latter has traditionally existed on the (far-)left, but more recently its support started to build also on the former centre-right, which began to voice public support for the actually backsliding CEE countries. • The course of the development of the Slovenian constitutional democracy three decades after the country’s declaration of independence therefore remains uncertain as never before.

Opis: This article sheds light on the academic side of dr. Jože Pučnik. While his civic, dissident and political activities in Slovenia have been well known, his academic work and the political philosophy he developed have been largely neglected. This is unfortunate, as already a cursory insight in Pučnik’s monography on Culture, Society and Technology, such as provided in this article, reveals the richness of his political thought. Pučnik as an intellectual, as a political thinker was not only aware of the main currents of western political philosophy after the WWII, but was also entirely on par with then political and legal thinkers. He had integrated their work into his own political philosophy, which he subsequently applied to the case study of Slovenia, a country that he felt most deeply about.

Opis: Evropska centralna banka na podlagi podeljenih pristojnosti oblikuje in izvršuje monetarno politiko, ki obsega različne ukrepe centralne banke, s katerimi naslavlja makrobonitetno stabilnost evropskega območja. Poleg monetarne politike ECB nad bančnimi institucijami izvaja bonitetni nadzor, s pomočjo katerega obvladuje tveganja, ki jih zadevna institucija lahko predstavlja za finančno-ekonomski prostor EU. ECB nosi ključno vlogo in odgovornost pri razvoju EU. Magistrsko delo posledično odgovarja na vprašanje obstoja in obsega (ne)odgovornosti ECB skozi prizmo sodne prakse Sodišča Evropske unije. (Ne)odgovornost je predmet analize skozi obravnavo primarnega in sekundarnega prava Evropske unije, relevantne sodne prakse Sodišča Evropske unije in strokovne literature, pri čemer delo uporablja deskriptivno, normativno in analitično metodo, nadalje tudi zgodovinsko in komparativno metodo in nazadnje še induktivno metodo in metodo sinteze. Zaradi vseobsegajočega vpliva monetarne politike je tema (ne)odgovornosti ECB najmanj pomembna, če ne vitalna. Primarno magistrsko delo opredeljuje pravno (ne)odgovornost ECB. Izvedeno raziskuje še, kakšna je vloga ter kako vpliva sodna praksa Sodišča Evropske unije na status in odgovornost ECB, kateri so vzroki za zadržano presojo Sodišča v zadevah, povezanih z mandatom ECB, in hkrati ali je takšna presoja upravičena, kakšen je pomen Protokola št. 7 za odgovornost ECB in Unijo nasploh in ali takšen trend nujno vodi v spreminjanje narave EU in s tem njenih temeljnih pogodb. Glede na namen, zastavljene cilje ter hipoteze delo omogoča opredelitev pojma odgovornosti ECB ter ga napolnjuje z dejansko vsebino. Dodatno, magistrsko delo jasno opredeljuje, kakšni so vloga Sodišča Evropske unije in njegov vpliv ter njegova dopustnost na vlogo in odgovornost ECB. Magistrsko delo pojasnjuje sicer ozko strokovno področje, ki do sedaj v slovenskem jeziku ni bilo analizirano na enem mestu na način, da se s tem lahko seznani ne le strokovna, temveč tudi laična javnost. Ob tem delo ostaja omejeno na pravne vidike odgovornosti in ne obravnava finančno-ekonomskih stališč, ki so pri iskanju odgovora na vprašanje (ne)odgovornosti Evropske centralne banke enako pomembna.
