The contribution Devolution and Decentralisation in Social Security: The Situtation in Slovenia forms part of a wider European comparative analysis.

This article includes a new conceptual model for estimating local government borrowing capacity that combines a legislative and market approach. The model has wider applicability and is relevant for several stakeholders: for the local governments to determine their development financing potential, for the central government to balance local development needs with macroeconomic stability objectives, and for financial institutions and project developers to tailor their products to the local financing and investment opportunities. The model is applied on selected local government units in Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia and test the hypothesis that their relative (per capita) borrowing capacities differ.

The Commentary analyses articles of the Slovenian Family Code. An important part of the Commentary is the analysis of individuals who are no longer able to take care of their rights and benefits. Legal framework protecting such individuals must be applied with special caution as it must be assured that the replacement of will of such individuals, is limited only to the extent, in which such individuals are not capable of making independent decisions. Substitutions of individual’s will needs to arise from wishes and perceptions which the individual has expressed in the past (i.e. explicit will) or which can be deducted from his past conduct and statements (i.e. alleged will). In order to achieve these objectives, the institution of the guardianship of adults needs to be transformed into more flexible and layered system, the institution of the guardianship for a specific case needs to be modernized, and the institution of extending parental rights needs to be removed. The institution of the parental rights is primarily aimed at children’s care, and it is not aimed only for legal care but is initially intended to provide for children’s upbringing.
