The monograph focuses on one of the most important issues of the 20th century Slovenian history, as it explains the development of the national political standpoints of the political party, which defined the social, political and national life of Slovenians for almost half a century. One of the key national political viewpoints of the Slovenian communists, which was integrated into their revolutionary strategy and tactics and helped them take over the power, was the demand for national self determination and federal state legal position of Slovenia in the Yugoslav community. The monograph contributes to the understanding of the national policy of the communists in the time when they were not yet in power, and it also provides useful information needed to evaluate their subsequent national policy.

The monograph represents the first comprehensive historical exploration of the Slovenian politics between 1992 and 2012, presented on the basis of the development and activities of the highest body of authority – the parliament. The work is based on all the relevant foreign and Slovenian literature and on the materials of the Research and Documentation Division of the National Assembly, systematically reviewed for the first time to date. It also underlines individual characteristic examples from the European parliamentary practices of the 19th and 20th century and the involvement of the Slovenian politicians in the parliamentary work during this period. It provides a detailed presentation of the Slovenian parliamentary historical process throughout the six legislative periods to date, the procedural and organisational conditions, and the forms of work of the National Assembly and its members as well as the institutes and operations of the parliamentary supervisory function in the Republic of Slovenia.

The monograph focuses on the main topics from the history of Slovenian media (censorship, political conflicts, nationalism, economic crisis, the Balkans, culture, racism), also topical today. It provides the today's media space with the historical dimension, which was – in the period under consideration – characterised by a strict division into "ours" and "yours": Slovenians and Germans, Slovenians and Italians, liberals and clericalists, Europeans and colonial African peoples, us and Jews, etc. The monograph establishes that the discourse of divisions at the time was not only characteristic for Slovenia: at that point the Slovenian public was in harmony with the wider European space.

The monograph explores the life and work of one of the most visible representatives of the Slovenian People's Party in the time between both world wars and in the initial period of the occupation. It presents Natlačen's ideological political profile and administrative activities in the 1920s and 1930s, when he was the vice president of the Slovenian People's Party and president of the Ljubljana Administrative Unit Assembly (1927–1929) as well as, subsequently, Ban of the Drava Banate (1935–1941). Special attention is paid to Natlačen's activities since April until September 1941 and to his inappropriate political and strategic decision to collaborate with the occupier, which discredited him in the eyes of the Western (British) Allies. The monograph also explores the attitude of the Slovenian partisan movement towards Natlačen, leading to his execution in October 1942 and the consequent shooting of hostages in Ljubljana, as well as his improper actions with regard to his contacts with the Italian authorities from the viewpoint of international law.
