Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book describes the social security regime in Slovenia, on of the most important branches of law in the relation to the individual, especially in times of economic recession. The right to social security namely enables the individual to freely develop and live a peaceful life. The publication conveys a clear working knowledge of the legal mechanics affecting health care, employment injuries and occupational diseases, incapacity to work, pensions, survivors benefits, unemployment benefits and services, and family benefits. The analysis covers the field of application, conditions for entitlement, calculation of benefits, financing, the institutional framework, and relevant law enforcement and controls. Allowances for retirees, employees, public sector workers, the self-employed, and the handicapped are all clearly explained, along with full details of claims, adjudication procedures, and appeals. Succinct yet eminently practical, the book will be a valuable resource for lawyers handling social security matters in Slovenia. It will be of practical utility to those both in public service and private practice called on to develop and to apply social security law and policy, and of special interest as a contribution to the comparative study of social security systems.
F.30 Professional assessment of the situation
COBISS.SI-ID: 14931281The author deals with the significance of a language to its national identity. In particular, he examines the position of the Slovenian language during the French administration of the Illyrian Provinces. That time marked the first time that Slovenian became an independent teaching language in the elementary schools and lower gymnasia. On the other hand, it, did not become the language of the court-procedures or of public administration. Despite that, the image of the French period has remained positive, especially among Slovenian intellectuals.
F.29 Contribution to the development of national cultural identity
COBISS.SI-ID: 10910545One of community values is (also) the nurturing of its own language; a part of an individual’s value is (also) multilingualism. This thought may illustrate the tension that is also, in this ever more interdependent world, present in the institutions of higher education trying, on the one hand, to play the role of the caretaker of the national language but also, on the other hand, to become ever more integrated in the international scientific community, which both enables scientific excellence and requires opening up to other languages. This paper first outlines the Slovenian codify cation of the language of instruction in university studies and then offers some comparative highlights of the issues of language and mobility, in particular within the ambit of the European Union.
