Organized interests in the policy-making process in Slovenia - London : Routledge, June 1998
The article describes the emergence of a modern civil society in the context of democratic transition in Slovenia. Empirical research has shown that modern interest groups are developing and gaining sway in the policy-making process and, moreover, that some institutionalized forms of consultative politics are becoming part of the new political system. Political parties still dominate in interest intermediation. The role of interest groups in policy-making and the types of emerging policy network vary considerably among policy fields. European networking helps to strengthen the visibility and influence of interest groups in the policy-making process.
