Slovenia ( Slovenija ) Country Code: si Flag of Slovenia Background: In 1918 the Slovenes joined the Serbs and Croats in forming a new nation, renamed Yugoslavia in 1929. After World War II, Slovenia became a republic of the renewed Yugoslavia, which though communist, distanced itself from Moscow's rule. Dissatisfied with the exercise of power of the majority Serbs, the Slovenes succeeded in establishing their independence in 1991. Historical ties to Western Europe, a strong economy, and a stable democracy make Slovenia a leading candidate for future membership in the EU and NATO.

The History of Metrology in Slovenia On the Slovene territory, metrology has a long-lasting and rich tradition. Measurements of mass, length, volume and time have been very important here since prehistoric times, and the archaeological findings bear witness to this. During classical antiquity, the Constantinople period, and later, both army and commercial routes lead across the Slovene territory, and this meant goods exchange as well as the related metrological activities. During the Middle Ages and the late Middle Ages, these activities were poorly organised, and their regulation was in the hands individual local authorities. A similar situation as in Slovenia was throughout Europe. During her reign of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Empress Maria Theresa introduced such order into metrology which was exemplary for that time. Thanks to this order, Slovenia obtained a regulated metrology system as early as the 18th century. In her "Patent Act" of 1777, the Empress gave precise orders as to the type of measuring instruments that could be used, and how and where they should be verified. Thus a regulated metrology system had existed on the Slovene territory some 100 years before the signing of the Metre Convention (*). Besides measures and units of measurement, care had also been taken of the appropriate control and marking of precious metals. (*) - See the chapter "Important International Organisations"

1989, Slovenia began its first steps toward independence. In 1990, the political alliance DEMOS under Milan Ku an gained majority in the republic's parliament and gained official independence on June 25, 1991. Although the Yugoslav army threatened independence on one occasion, the conflict was resolved in just 10 days. The armed forces withdrew in October, and Slovenia announced its independence from Yugoslavia. In December 1992, the first presidential and parliamentary elections as an independent nation were held, and a coalition government led by the Liberal Democratic Party was established. Now, Slovenia is moving to shed its image associated with former Yugoslavia and has become a member of the western European community based on democracy and market economy. In 1997, it has concluded an accession agreement with the European Union and took its first step toward full membership. Negotiations are presently under way. Slovenian history has been a story of wounds from conquest by external forces.

However, independence was short-lived and taken away by an invasion of the Magyars, an equestrian people, in 900. During this period, Slovenia received both political and military support from the Germanic people and hence remained under strong German influence until the 1900s. The close and extensive relationship with Germany clearly forms the foundation of Slovenian culture today. e-mail: info@slovenia-japan.gr.jp

History All Slovene lands (duchies, counties) eventually became a part of the Habsburg feudal domain. After the mid-1400s the Habsburgs were also Holy Roman Emperors, which gave them a double jurisdiction here. For two centuries from the mid-1400s this part of Europe experienced ongoing crises: Turkish wars, peasant revolts (Slovenes were prominent among the rebels), political struggles between Emperor and nobility, as well as religious revolution, with the Habsburgs defending the Catholic Church against Protestant reformers. The general upheaval of the period resulted in economic, social, and political regression, and development in this part of Europe was retarded for two centuries. By the 1860s there were about 1.1 million Slovenes, who, because of economic pressures in rural areas, were forced to find livelihood in towns at home and abroad. Many emigrated, a good number to the United States. Those same pressures also produced new ways of dealing with economic realities at home. One was establishing cooperatives, which were widespread and highly successful before World War I. Literacy was high (80-90 percent), partly due to state educational requirements, but also because Slovenes established various institutions (Society of St. Hermagoras, Slovenska Matica, [reading societies]) to promote literacy in the national language.

70. From History Of Phenomenology In Slovenia FROM THE history OF PHENOMENOLOGY IN slovenia. Phenomenology not onlyfinds itself inscribed in the history of contemporary Slovene http://www.ff.uni-lj.si/filo/drustva/history.htm

FROM THE HISTORY OF PHENOMENOLOGY IN SLOVENIA After WW2 the dialectical materialism prevailed as the only adequate "philosophy", while all the other philosophies were treated as reflecting the crisis of the so-called capitalist world. With Veber's untimely retirement and expulsion from the Academy of Science and Art, phenomenology in Slovenia was for a long time denied the freedom of development, which shows irreparable damage even today. It is the merit of these two thinkers that in the 60s and 70s a phenomenological and hermeneutic approach shaped itself in the field of research of Slovene philosophy, of broader cultural and social issues and the history of philosophy in general. In this context we should point to the name of Valentin Kalan (born 1943). The second half of the 80s again sees Slovene phenomenology fully engaged in political events, but this time as the collaborator of democratic changes. Understandably, the problems that at that time came to the foreground within the sphere of "pure theory" were those of human rights, civil society, the phenomenon of totalitarianism, the relationship between culture and politics etc. The last ten years of the Phenomenological Society's activities saw the organization of around eighty symposia, guesst and home lectures, round tables and book presentations. Furthermore, around fifty original philosophical works and translations of relevant phenomenologists have been published, fifteen of them in the book collection Phainomena, and another fourty-three issues of the journal Phainomena with at least 4000 pages of philosophical texts.

SCIC and the enlargement Slovenia Slovene History Slovene History Before 7th century Slavs begin settling the valleys of the Sava, Drava and Mura rivers, and under pressure from the Avars, reach the shores of the Black Sea, Friuli plains, the Danube, Adriatic Sea and Lake Balaton. 7th century Western Slavic tribes form an alliance with the Slavic Duchy of Carantania with its centre in present day Austrian Carinthia. Carantania becomes a part of the Frankish empire. The Slavs convert to Christianity and gradually lose their independence. 869 to 874 Prince Kocelj briefly establishes an independent state of Slovenes in Lower Pannonia. 9th century Alongside the growing influence of Christianity the Slovenian language is increasingly used in religious services. The Freising Manuscripts, the oldest written records in the Slovenian language, originate from this period. 14th to 16th centuries The House of Habsburg extends its control over most of the Slovenian regions. Protestant Primoz Trubar publishes "Katekizem" (The Catechism), the first book written in the Slovenian language. Jurij Dalmatin translates the Bible into Slovenian. Adam Bohoric writes a Slovenian grammar book.

Index What's New Links A B RIEF SURVEY OF THE E CCLESIASTICAL H ISTORY Archeological discoveries in Slovenia, particularly around Ptuj, Celje and Ljubljana, point to the presence of Christian dioceses of Poetovio, Celeia and Emona in the late second century AD. Thus their westward trek brought the newly arrived Slovenes in contact with the Christian religion of the original settlers. In the 6th and 7th centuries St. Columbanus, St. Amandus and other missionaries began evangelizing the Slavic newcomers in earnest. In 745 AD, Borut, a Carantanian prince, accepted Christianity in order to receive help against the Avars. His son Gorazd and his nephew Hotimir were baptized while being held hostage in a Benedictine monastery on an island in lake Chiemsee in Bavaria. Under Borut's successors, Gorazd and Hotimir, entire country of Carantania was christianized. Lower Pannonia is another region important to the history of Christianity among Slovenes. In 866 AD, two brothers, Cyril and Methodius came to the court of Prince Kocelj of Lower Pannonia after German missionaries forced them to leave Moravia. The brothers' missionary activity, augmented by the translation of liturgical texts into the local language, also influenced the written culture of the time. The Slavonic liturgy was given official acceptance by Popes Hadrian II and John VIII. Methodius died in 885 AD. His disciples were exiled by the German bishops and Latin was reintroduced in religious services. With the invasion of Pannonia by the Hungarians christian religion and cultural activity in this area died.

Index What's New Links A B RIEF H ISTORY OF THE S LOVENE N ATION The present day national territory has been populated by Slovenes for the last 14 centuries. The first known Slovene state was the Duchy of Carantania, which lasted from 630 to 745. It was centred at Karnburg Castle at Klagenfurt. Under the pressure from the Avars, the Carantanians sought the military assistance of their neighbours the Bavarians and thus lost their independence. Later, together with the Bavarians they succumbed to the Frankish overlords and finally to the Habsburg crown. From the time of Carantania, the special ritual of the investiture of princes performed in the Slovene language survived. Another important state was Lower Pannonia, ruled by Prince Kocelj. Its capital was located on Lake Balaton in present-day Hungary. Kocelj was removed in 874 by the Franks. The national territory was reduced due to its sparse population and germanisation, but the national awareness prevailed in the Austrian Empire, reaching its climax with the Revolutions of 1848. This was also caused by the division of the Slovene national territory within Austria into several parts (Carinthia, Carniola, Styria, the Gorizia County and Istria). The 17th and 18th century saw a new economic and cultural rise in the Slovene provinces after the victory over the Turks (Sisak 1593 and Vienna 1683) and the calming down of spiritual movements. A special cultural and religious circle was formed in Ljubljana, Academia operosorum (The Academy of the Laborious), which made numerous contributions to the present day capital and influenced the general development of towns particularly in Carniola. On their arrival in Ljubljana in 1597, the Jesuits founded a college for theological and philosophical studies. This is regarded as the beginning of university studies in Ljubljana and Slovenia in general.

front fun sightseeing practical ... CASI Ljubljana Through the History Ljubljana 's geographical position has governed its colourful past. A brisk migration of nations flowed through the Ljubljana gateway, part of the natural entrance from Central Europe to the Mediterranean, the Balkans and on towards the East. So it is not surprising that settlements of pile dwellers , and later Illyrians and Celts , grew up in this region more than 5000 years ago. At the time of Roman hegemony , from the 1st to 6th centuries AD, the capital of contemporary Slovenia was called Emona Ljubljana is first mentioned in written sources from 1144, its historical rise beginning in the 13th century when it became the Capital of the Province of Carniola . In 1335 it came under Hapsburg rule From the end of the Middle Ages onwards the town gradually assumed the role of the Slovene cultural capital . Slovene Protestantism, as the most powerful social movement of the 16th century, was a major influence in this. Ljubljana was then the meeting-place of the nationally conscious. Primoz Trubar , who gave the Slovenes their first book in 1550, worked here end many years later, France Preseren and Ivan Cankar , two important figures in the struggle for the cultural and political freedom of the Slovene nation produced their works here.
