Kratka vsebina

This monograph aims to offer an in-depth look at the key shifts that have taken place within the most prominent youth and youth policy dimensions in Slovenia over the last three decades. The list of dimensions is, of course, not exhaustive; there are certainly others that deserve a closer look. Nevertheless, our work should be seen as an authentic attempt to provide a solid overview of over 30 years of effort in this often neglected field. By tracing the key steps that have been taken in the period since Slovenian independence in 1991, we hope to establish a reference point for a consideration of the relevant development-related issues around the future of the Slovenian youth sector, and to provide key pointers for a wide variety of youth policy stakeholders. It is with this in mind that the topics and chapters have been arranged in roughly the same way throughout: an overview of the main shifts and turning points in the area under discussion, a description of how the area has developed over the last three decades, and finally (albeit to a more limited extent) an evaluation of the progress made. As far as evaluation is concerned, we offer a set of impressions and glimpses into the past, supported by data available from a variety of sources. While it is therefore difficult to refer to this monograph as an ‘evaluation study’ in any true sense, our assessments do provide a good starting point for a consideration of how the Slovenian youth field might look in the future.
