Pomanjkljivosti delovanja pravne države v Sloveniji v primerjalnem kontekstu Srednje in Vzhodne Evrope

Abstract

Purpose: The article seeks to fill the gap in the existing research by first analyzing the interplay between the rule of law and its compliance in the CEE region in the context of the EU accession processand second, by identifying key reform measures taken against corruption and clientelism in the CEE accession processand third, by outlining the factors that have played a crucial role in this process and now affect the quality of the rule of law in the CEE region, particularly in Slovenia. Design/Methods/Approach: The methods employed include an analysis of EU documents and qualitative interviews carried out in Slovenia. Findings: In Slovenia, as well as in other CEE countries, informal institutions play an important role in a number of policy areas, but the majority of respondents find healthcare and the judiciary most affected. Practical Implications: This article will probably be a valid source to those in search of more empirically based studies of informal intuitions in Slovenia, especially as regards corruption and networking. It will be of practical use to those in charge of corruption prevention and proper policy making. Originality/Value: This article presents one the most in-depth analyses of Slovenian informal policy. It is enriched by views of external researchers.Namen prispevka: Članek poskuša zapolniti vrzel v obstoječih raziskavah tako, da prvič, analizira medsebojni vpliv med pravno državo in spoštovanjem določil, podanih za Srednjo in Vzhodno Evropo v okviru pristopnega procesa EUdrugič, opredeli ključne reformne ukrepe proti korupciji in klientelizmu v pristopnem procesuin tretjič, predstavi tiste dejavnike, ki so odigrali ključno vlogo v tem procesu in danes vplivajo na kakovost pravne države v regiji Srednje in Vzhodne Evrope, zlasti v Sloveniji. Metode: Uporabljeni metodi sta analiza dokumentov EU in kvalitativni intervjuji v Sloveniji. Ugotovitve: V Sloveniji, pa tudi v drugih državah Srednje in Vzhodne Evrope, neformalne institucije igrajo pomembno vlogo na številnih področjih, pri čemer so v intervjujih sodelujoči posebej izpostavili zdravstvo in sodstvo. Praktična uporabnost: Članek bo najbolj uporaben za tiste, ki iščejo bolj empirično zasnovane študije o neformalnih institucijah v Sloveniji, zlasti tistih, povezanih s korupcijo in mreženjem in tistih, ki se pojavljajo v vlogah preprečevalcev korupcije in oblikovalcev ustrezne protikorupcijske politike. Izvirnost/pomembnost prispevka: Prispevek prinaša eno najbolj poglobljenih analiz slovenskih neformalnih institucij, ki vključuje tudi prispevka zunanjih raziskovalcev
