Between Belgrade Centralism and Balkan Geopolitics
This article examines Slovene political responses to King Alexander Karađorđević’s royal dictatorship between 1929 and 1934 as a case study in the limits of authoritarian state-building in interwar Yugoslavia. It argues that the dictatorship failed because it treated the national question as a problem of party politics rather than as a structural crisis of state legitimacy. The article compares three Slovene political strategies: Catholic Populis…
Terminology in genetic-linguistic studies as a political issue
The recent version of the Slovenian Linguistic Atlas (SLA) classifies a significant number of speech varieties from the Republic of Croatia as part of the Slovenian language using genetic-linguistic criteria. A critical analysis of the conceptual framework and criteria employed in the SLA reveals that the project incorporates terminology from other scientific disciplines into the field of genetic linguistics, often without consistently adhering t…
Slovenians between Divisions and Unity
The article aims to present the adaptations of the Slovenian political elite caught in the whirlwind of geopolitical restructuring in Europe after World War I and to contextualize their responses within the theory of strategic positioning of small nations in international relations. Despite being a numerically small nation, Slovenians developed diverse political strategies during the period between the establishment of the Kingdom of SCS in Decem…
Conflicting Legal Perspectives on the Establishment of Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes
The analysis delves into the complex legal intricacies surrounding the establishment of South Slavic state entities post-World War I, as international law of the time didn't fully encompass modern legal instruments defining international relations subjects. Nonetheless, legal arguments affirm the statehood of the State of SCS, formed within the former Austro-Hungarian Empire through legitimate representative bodies, despite lacking formal interna…
The role of identification criteria in language
The article presents the criteria employed in distinguishing languages and, within the framework of structuralist and sociolinguistic perspectives, delves into the role of identification criteria in the context of the Croatian language. Through a critical analysis of the interpretation of various criteria in Croatian linguistics, the article uncovers the issue of arbitrariness in language differentiation. The author asserts that, as a product of …
Examining political influence on language
This article discusses the problem of evaluating socio-political interventions in language at the case of Croatian. From a theoretical point of view, definitions of such interventions, often called purism, are first analyzed and placed in the context of the ‘one standard axiom’ thesis. To determine why only some historical periods of intervention are labeled as purist, a brief comparative overview is provided of conflicting perspectives on interv…
From Bitter Enemies to Political Partners
The article examines Slovenian liberal and clerical magazines to analyse the adaptations of the political narratives of the two main Slovenian political parties from the assassination in Sarajevo in 1914 until early in the final stage of World War I in March 1918. Slovenian clericals, who gathered together in the Slovenian People's Party, reacted to the killings in Sarajevo by adopting a strong pro-Habsburg and anti-Serbian position. Their magazi…
How Littoral Slovenians Viewed the Idea of a South Slavic Unit in the Habsburg Monarchy
The article presents the idea of a third unit in the Habsburg Monarchy prior to World War I as seen through the eyes of Slovenian liberals. The author presents the broader political context in which the concept emerged and then analyses the reactions of various political groups amid national tensions in the Balkans. Extracts of two liberal Slovenian newspapers, Edinost (Trieste) and Soča (Gorizia), are examined with respect to the key geopolitica…
The Idea of the Yugoslav–Bulgarian Federation at the End of the Second World War
The article analyses the issue of Yugoslav–Bulgarian unification within the broader idea of a Balkan (con)federation from the aspects of internal and external stakeholders. The author describes the key interwar factors and events impacting the formation of states in postwar South-east Europe and, building on this, identifies the primary motives for/against the idea of a Balkan (con)federation with respect to the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, the…
Pravna narava Države in Kraljestva/Kraljevine SHS v konfliktu jugoslovanskih ideologij
Izvleček: Glavna teza prispevka je, da razlike v razlagi pravne narave tako Države kot tudi Kraljevine Srbov, Hrvatov in Slovencev niso bile posledica pravne negotovosti, temveč so bile le odraz še ene med številnimi političnimi bitkami v vojni nasprotujočih si jugoslovanskih ideologij. Avtor uporablja mednarodna in ustavna merila ter analizira dileme glede pravne narave države SHS in pravne (dis)kontinuitete med Kraljevino Srbijo in Kraljevino S…
The Implications of the “New Course” Strategy
This article examines the political framework of “novi kurs” (“New Course”) from the beginning of the 20th century, its strategic aims and its function within the battle of different visions of a South Slavic state. The evidence shows that the new political direction contributed to the improvement of conflicting relations between Croats and Serbs, but, at the same time, it had a negative impact on the Croatian-Slovenian alliance along the Adriati…
Implications of the Balkan Wars for the Yugoslav Idea among Slovenians in Trieste
The article analyses the Yugoslav idea among Slovenian liberals from Trieste in the period before the First World War. Initially, they favoured the idea of a third politico-administrative unit that would incorporate Trieste within the Habsburg Monarchy. In this setting, they built a partnership with the Croatian political representatives. The first round of the Balkan wars caused euphoria among Slovenian liberals in Trieste and stimulated the dev…
The stakeholder-strategy relationship in non-profit basketball clubs
The aim of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of the stakeholder-strategy relationship in non-profit sport clubs and to answer the following questions; (1) how hierarchies of organisational aims and actual strategic decisions change due to involvement of certain interest groups in the strategic processes of the observed organisations; (2) how clubs on different quality levels differentiate regarding stakeholders’ hierarchies, h…
The influence of public funding on the strategies and performance of non-profit basketball clubs from South-Eastern Europe
The purpose of this study is to examine how private funding affects non-profit sport clubs in terms of their strategic decisions and organisational performance. Data for the study were collected from a survey of 73 basketball clubs’ managers from four South-east European countries. Explorative factor analysis and structural equation modelling were employed. The results show that stronger influence of public institutions, reflected in a higher pro…
