The programme, which includes the key questions of recent Slovene history, articulates extensive knowledge about individual stages of the nation's past from the 'Springtime of Nations' in 1848 and the formulation of the 'One Slovenia' programme to the historic political changes in eastern and south-eastern Europe in the late 1980s/early 1990s. At the start of the 21st century, the era of the globalising civilisational and political principle, it reinforces the historical identity-based foundation of Sloveneness in relation to the question of the prospects for small nations in a transformed and increasingly interconnected and interdependent international community which sometimes tends towards the monolithic. In-depth knowledge of the nation's complex development in the past will significantly facilitate capacities for the ideological, cultural and political reciprocity of national forces and national development in the future, both within the framework of the Slovene state and as part of the circle of European and other states.
