The main outcomes of the research program are presented in the form of book publications, which attracted more attention than individual articles published in scientific periodicals and paper collections. In our opinion, the most successful publication is the collection of proceedings of the conference 'Slovenia and Neighbouring Countries between Antique and the Carolingian Era. The Beginnings of the Slovenian Ethnogenesis - Slowenien und die Nachbarlaender zwischen Antike und karolingischer Epoche. Anfaenge der slowenischen Ethnogenese" (ed. R. Bratož). The proceedings were published in three volumes on appr. 1,700 pages. The reviews from the international scientific community were favourable, and the third, supplementary volume, Kahl's monograph 'Der Staat der Karantanen' will be reviewed in at least 20 international mediaevistic journals. The entire collection is considered to be a fundamental treatment of the era and geographical space it deals with. (1) In the area of Antique history, two monographs were published. The "Il cristianesimo aquileiese prima di Costantino tra Aquileia e Poetovio", Udine-Gorizia 1999 by R. Bratož (550 pages complete with appendices), has been widely cited, mostly in Italy, and has thus gained the status of a standard reference work on the early Christian period of the Aquileia region. Secondly, in cooperation with two German scientists, F. Lotter and H. Castritius, the monograph "Voelkerverschiebungen im Ostalpen-Mitteldonau-Raum zwischen Antike und Mittelalter (375-600)" (282 pages) was published in Berlin and New York in 2003. This work deals with the key issues in Great Migrations in the central Danube region and eastern Alps, such as the decline of the Roman Empire, the German ethnogenesis, the issue of continuity etc. (2) The main publication in mediaeval history is the trilingual monograph(s) by P. Štih about the development of the town of Gorica, entitled "A Study of Two Documents from 1001, Issued by Emperor Otto III. for Patriarch Johannes of Aquileia and Count Werihen of Friuli" (Nova Gorica, 1999). The study is an important contribution to the history of the Goriška, Vipavska and Posočje regions in the Middle Ages. The same author published in book form a series of essays on Gorica and the counts of Gorica. These works qualify him internationally as one of the leading experts on this set of historical topics. (3) The main publication on early new age history is a collection of studies by V. Simoniti called "Fanfare nasilja" (The Fanfares of Violence) (Ljubljana, 2003), in which the author discusses mainly the period between the 15th and 18th century. (4) In 19th century history there have been several book publications, of which we wish to point out two monographs. I. Grdina published an important study called "The Ipavec family', which analyses the rise and development of the family which has played a key role in Slovenian cultural history. His last monograph, entitled "Slovenians between Tradition and Perspective: A Political Mosaic 1860-1918" (Ljubljana, 2003) provides a synthesis of the cultural and political history of the last five decades of Slovenia as part of the Habsburg monarchy. (5) The key works on 20th century history are three monographs which deal with three quite different periods. M. Stiplovšek published a book on Slovenian parlamentarianism between the wars ( "Slovenski parlamentarizem 1927-1929" (Ljubljana, 2000). D. Nećak published "Hallsteinova doktrina" (The Hallstein Doctrine) (2002), which analyses the post-WW2 situation of Yugoslavia. B. Repe published a sizeable monograph on the independence of Slovenia ("Jutri je nov dan" (Tomorrow is a New Day) (2002), which has been well received. We believe the outcomes show that the research group has created a firm basis for the main enterprise, a new scientific synthesis of Slovenian history.
