1. Idenficiation of the most important trends in international relations (non-linearity of globalization, changing factors of the position of small states, dynamic effects of integration as more important than static, erosion of the position of small states in the EU as a factor of instability) and the evaluation of their implications on the position of Slovenia in world community and its future development. On such basis we proposed elements for the most important international relations and economic cooperation strategies of Slovenia. 2. New development paradigm was developed as the basis for new development strategy of Slovenia contributing to the more effective international cooperation of the state and individual actors. It was based on the in-depth theoretical and empirical evaluation of position of small (transition) states and their different ways of integration into the internationalization-regionalization trends including the evaluation of the contemporary changes in the direction of increasing role of services and innovations in all different forms of inter-enterprise cooperation, particularly foreign direct investment. Apropriate strategies in all these areas were developed for Slovenia. 3. So-creation of the foreign policies strategy of Slovenia based more on creativity and rapid responsiveness than too-long a search for sulutions. In such a way we have contributed to the formation of improved institutional basis of the position of Slovenia in EU. Since small states are more vunerable they also have to put more emphasis on social dimension of developments and redistribution role of the government and the legislation. 4. So-creation of the policy of EU in different areas by very strong participation in numerous European projects/meeting/conferences connected with the future development of EU (convention) which will also determine the future position of Slovenia. 5. Comparative and theoretical analysis of the concept of national interest have set a framework for specific strategies and policies of Slovenia and contributed to the resolution of many burning dilemas in this field. 6. Cost and benefits of Slovene membership in NATO have been identified together with the implications of the enlargement of the EU, not only in the political and economic fields but also in areas like minorites and language issues. 7. Current transfer of reaserch results in practice has manifested itself in different strategic decisions facing Slovenia in the past (EU and NATO membership, etc.) as well as globally (OECD), thanks to direct participation of members of this programme in the planning and execution of specific foreign policy and development tasks (membership in negotiation teams, committees, strategic councils, working groups, consultancy). 8. Innovatiove interdisciplinary approach in evaluation of Slovenia's integration in international relations (political, economical, institutional) enhanced the need for cooperation between economics and politics. Specific manifestation of such results has been the following: - participation in preparation of different development strategies of Slovenia (EU membership, foreign policy and economic cooperation strategy, technologic strategy, foreign direct investment and service strategy); - membership in different government/ministries committies, negotiation groups, particularly in the field of foreign policy, enterpreneurship, competitiveness, research and development, etc.; - by numerous citations not only in scientific journals but also in more popular ones by presenting more applicable results; - numerous participation of researchers on TV, Radio and in media in general.
