Abstract
The project studies the political, conceptual, cultural, economic and social history of the Slovenes between the second half of the 19th century and the independence of Slovenia. For the period between the First and the Second World Wars the research has been focused on the study of conceptual political ideas and practical work in three traditional political camps. Attention has been devoted to the development of numerous party, educational and cultural structures, analysis of middle-class opposition and assertion of the workers’ movement. Positions on all national law, national politics and social-economic matters have been individually analysed. The research on political history during and after World War II has been arranged according to contents and time into two, more or less completed periods. For the first period, the emphasis has been put on the examination of individual political and military subjects involved in the war and the persecution of war crimes. The research on the second period has been focused on political relations between political, governmental and cultural organisations, the opposition forces acting within those organisations, and alteration of political reality as well as international relations with Italy. The research particularly deals with issues of the economic and social development of Slovenia between the second half of the 19th century and the political and economic independence of Slovenia. Prominent is the research on industrialisation, formation and functional division of the financial sector (credit co-operatives, savings banks and banks), conjuncture periods, investment cycles, and problems arising from social policy, lifestyle, and economic and social principles. Within the agricultural sector the focus has been on the complex agricultural policy and making provisions for the population in the period after World War II.
